Eric Everett's Mustache

Edit title

I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for your generosity. You have provided a vital piece of technology to our classroom; in an age where technology is so important. We use our LCD Projector everyday. It provides such an important visual for my students. We use it with our document camera and Mimio Interactive. I have noticed the students' improvement in many areas. It has also allowed us to add more activities to our day because of how easy it is to get images seen.

I am a new teacher to this school and was not able to get the LCD Projector through our school budget. With your help we were able to provide the needed resources into the classroom. So many of my students benefit from visual materials, and this will help them achieve success in the classroom.

Again, thank you for providing technology to students in need.”

I do not know how I could ever express the fullness of my heart right now. I am so very thankful for your generous donations to our classroom. The world map, US map and puzzle have been quite the source of fascination for all of my students, as most of them have never had the privilege of looking at a map before. The math and reading games are quite the hot commodity in our classroom during workshop as well.

The laminator and projector screen are items that I will use for years to come. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and for giving my students the opportunity to see many things they've never seen before.”

The children were so excited the day the new materials arrived in the classroom. They could hardly contain their excitement. As I have brought out each new material, their interest and excitement have grown. They love working with the Montessori materials more than any other manipulatives in the classroom. They are so respectful and careful with the materials and work so well with each other. They are not only learning about Geography and Math, but developing good social skills and learning about each other.

Thank you so much for donating to this cause. Your kindness has made such a big difference for these children. They are amazed that people they do not know would actually give them something so new and nice. We call the materials "my good china". Thank you again and again.”

Thank you so much for helping me and my class! I cannot begin to tell you what it was like to work with a computer that was missing keys. Eventually, my letter "C" broke, and with that I had great difficulty.

It is so nice that there are people out there who support education! This laptop has already connected to the Internet and it works beautifully with our math program.

My student's are so blessed to have many people out there who care and support them. In this economy we are extremely grateful.”

The Elmo document camera that you donated to our classroom has opened up the world of science even more to my students. They have been able to share their work with other students in a more comprehensive way that wasn't possible before. During our chemistry unit we were able to see chemical reactions occur as a whole class and have very meaningful discussions. Another very exciting thing the students were able to share were their roller coaster designs. They each drew their "dream" roller coaster and then shared with the class, via the Elmo, the energy transformations that would occur when riding their roller coaster. Most described the specific points on their roller coaster where gravitational potential energy transformed into kinetic energy. Very cool stuff!

We are really looking forward to many more units that enable us to share our discoveries in science using our ELMO! ”

Thank you again for your incredible donations to my class. The students were so excited when the sand and water table arrived. I filled it with Kidfetti for the first few days. The colors and texture captured their interest and made it even more exciting. After that, the truly big excitement began. I filled the table with water. It became a whole new adventure! The letter and number crabs and fish turned reading and math into a great new game for all my students but most importantly for my lower performing students. These children now want to make words ALL the time by capturing the letters in the water. Their new found excitement for words is the direct result of your generosity.

The supplies that you helped provide to my class have made a huge difference for some very fabulous children. You have brought excitement and fun to a class full of bright children. You created a place in my room where children beg to go to play and explore with letters and numbers!

On behalf of my current and future students, thank you so much for your help in making Kindergarten education so exciting and fun!”
