It is with mixed emotions that I am participating in Mustaches for Kids. That's right, for the next four weeks, I will be subjecting myself to public humiliation and private doubt by growing what will no-doubt be a ridiculous looking Mustache. In order to justify this endeavor I need your support. Please sponsor my Mustache by picking a classroom project from the list below to support. And wish me and my Mustache luck.

The colorful classroom carpet you brought to my students has brightened the classroom in several ways. Not only is my classroom more aesthetically pleasing and inviting, but this carpet has united us as a community of learners. Furthermore, my students know exactly where to sit for direct instruction—so no time is wasted trying to organize them on the carpet.
We love our classroom carpet, and the students treat it with the utmost care! Thank you for being so generous and for allowing us to have such a beautiful carpet in our classroom.”
I am writing to express my gratitude for your generous donation. Without your help my classroom would not have enough computers. My school has a computer lab, but we only get to use it once a week for 45 minutes. Since receiving the computers, my students have used them everyday. We used them to create graphs of our Valentine's candy hearts on Valentine's Day. Currently we are using them to listen to books read by actors, and to read Chinese fables. We also are able to access our class website which has lots of different links to educational games. In a week or so we will begin publishing our stories on the word processor.
I named this project The Possibilities are Endless because there is no end to the ways I can use these computers. Over the winter we were part of a Wiki project that linked us to other classrooms around the world discussing the idea of winter holidays. Next year, we will be able to connect visually because of our new computers' web cams! I also plan to use the computers to teach and reinforce computer skills and for research on various topics throughout the year.
I cannot say thanks enough for your generosity. It is people like you who are making incredible experiences come alive for thousands of children through Donors Choose.”
Words cannot express how excited my students were to learn with our new "Hot Dot" pens. Your generous donation has provided my class with an effective way of learning and staying engaged.
They are able to practice and master basic math facts and increase reading comprehension on their own during independent workshop time and also in small cooperative learning groups. The resources allow each child to practice skills and provide them immediate feedback with the cool sounds the pens make! It truly is an effective way for test prep purposes as well. They absolutely love it!
We thank you again for supporting our project during this tough economic time. Without you, many classes with goals would definitely go without. Thank you....”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Quilatan
