What a wonderful gift you have given us! Thank you so much for supplying us with our own, state of the art projector. My students have really done amazing work in our 21st Century learning center and we are so grateful for this equipment of our very own. Thank you again. And again and again and again”
I am absolutely amazed by the generosity of all of the donors. I can hardly believe that my project was funded. I am so excited to share these materials with our kindergarten students. These special sign language books will finally enable one deaf child to take books home from our lending library to share with her family. All of the students will enjoy these books in our classroom library. Students will enjoy these wonderful books for many years.
How can I thank you enough for donating to my classroom? I am so grateful that you are as committed to the education of the next generation as I am. Math is such a difficult subject for my students. Third grade is such a vital year in which many new concepts are introduced and the students are expected to apply on standardized tests, as well as everyday. You are helping make math much easier to teach to my students. I do not like to simply talk about math. I want my students to see and touch math, helping them to understand the concepts. I know my students will be so thrilled with the new materials. They are amazed, as am I, that people that we don't know are willing to give to our classroom. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts”
Thank you for your incredible generosity. I know the students will be incredibly grateful for your gift. Sharing the news with them as school convenes tomorrow from break will be a highlight for us. As half of the year has passed, students are becoming much more confident in authors/genres they love and want to explore. These books will provide a wonderful resource for everyone in our room to read more and know more. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and for being a part of our learning community”
Thank you so much for funding this proposal! Our classroom is in desperate need of these materials, so your donation comes at the perfect time. At the beginning of this school year my students brought in the supplies they could, which we were grateful for, but it was not nearly enough for an entire classroom to use. We have not been able to do many of the art projects we have wanted to do simply because of a lack of supplies. The markers that a couple students brought in have been been used by the entire classroom and are beyond dried up. Our crayon supply currently consists of broken crayons that are still being used over and over. With all the markers, crayons, colored pencils, glue sticks, and scissors that you have funded, we will have enough for everyone! I am very excited to think of all the ways that I can use art projects to extend the learning that is already happening in our classroom. Thank you for looking to help students who desperately need supplies. It will make an enormous impact on their learning and it will greatly enhance our curriculum!
Thank you so much for supporting my request for personal CD players in the classroom. I have been reading in small groups with my students as often as possible for the past several weeks. Listening to them read aloud proves that these materials will fulfill an essential need for every one of them. Being able to listen to the stories will improve both fluency and comprehension. I know that they will see this activity as a treat, which will motivate them to listen often. I am so grateful to you for your generosity. Your gift will touch my students and many more in the years to come.
Thank you so much for supporting us! We look forward to reading and learning from the Weekly Reader and Time for Kids. My class is very excited by current events, science topics and other nonfiction readings, so I know they will love these weekly additions to our reading library.
Thank you so much for your generosity. It just makes me proud to see others that are willing to help students throughout the country and in my classroom. Being able to help students to become independent learners while giving extra help to others will make a giant difference in the lives of the students. I appreciate your willingness to make a difference in their future, as well as making a difference in your future. Once again, thank you for your generous donation”
Thank you so much for your kind and generous donation! I am so excited to start this new project with my students and their families! I am already planning to have a workshop to invite the families and train them to use these new materials at home. I know they will be excited to because I have many parents that ask what they can do to help their children at home. It's people like you that help make these excellent opportunities possible for our public school children. Thanks again”
Thank you so much for your generous donation. My students will greatly appreciate this donation from your kind heart. It is people like you who make our world a better place, simply by taking the extra step to make sure children succeed in life. I think I can safely say you have a heart of gold! Once again, thank you, and may God bless you”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Washington
