Thank you for funding this aquatic habitat project for my students. When planning this expedition, the topic of habitats, my first goal was to make the children experts on habitats and what habitats need to support animals that live in them. I want my students to be experts- to teach others what they know, both at school and in their community. Your generous donation will catapult my students from just being knowledgeable to being experts - experts that can teach others what they know.
The children are thrilled to know that they will get their very own habitats to study, and keep healthy. This hands-on experience you are granting will truly guide my students' learning and inquiry of habitats with real examples and data. Your donation will make what they are learning come alive. The whole school and community will be able to see their expertise in action.
I am truly grateful for your generous donation. As a teacher I always want what I feel is the best for my students, but don't always have the means to provide it. Your donation is allowing me to teach children with real world opportunities. Again, thank you for allowing my students and I this opportunity. We can't wait to get the habitats set-up and running”
Thank you so much for providing my students and me with the materials to "move and groove" to make our learning fun! We are so appreciative of your kindness and I am positive that your gift will make a huge impact on my classroom. Teaching students how to be active, while still learning, can be a challenge. However, I know that using these materials will keep my students engaged while still teaching them important skills and concepts. I am looking forward to the day these materials arrive so that I can begin using them with my students! Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.
Thank you so much for your generous donation to this project. My students will be so excited when I tell them about how you helped us by purchasing the equipment. I haven't told them yet because we were almost out of time and I didn't want to get their hopes up. I had a blast using these bones at a conference so I am sure that the students will have even more fun than I did. I am always looking at incorporating non traditional games and activities into my Physical Education classes to help pique their interest. My youngest students will think that these are the greatest thing since Tater Tots. Again, we thank you and really appreciate your generosity. You have helped to provide hours of endless learning entertainment for my students”
An immense thank you to our generous benefactor. You have no idea how grateful we are to you for supplying athletic equipment to our gym/health program. Our students are in desperate need of new and varied gym equipment to keep them active and attentive during gym periods. Both the phys ed teacher and myself are weary of seeing boys play basketball and girls jump rope. Our students need to have their horizons broadened in reference to alternative sports. Your generous gift of baseball equipment will now enable us to build on the skills the students learned last year during kickball.Last year we started kickball tournaments in the schoolyard where classes competed against one another.The excitement in the building was contagious.Both myself and the physical education teacher noticed a decrease in violent behaviors while the students were involved in tournaments since poor behavior would exclude a student from playing in the tournament.Needless to say, nobody wanted to be excluded. Again,thank you. I can't wait to share with you pictures of your gift in action”
thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I was just speaking to a co-worker today about writing and now i have the things that i need in order to prepare my students for writing. You are truly a God send. Words cannot express how I am feeling right now”
Thanks a million! My students have been making so much progress, and by funding this proposal, you are helping to ensure that their progress continues beyond my wildest dreams! I was just shopping for school supplies, and found that I had already spent $250 on the basics, and could not afford to spend any more. I came home and checked my email, and much to my surprise, I saw that you had funded this proposal, which will help to ensure that I have engaging and fun new lessons that should last the entire school year and beyond! Thank you so much”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Frazin
