Jig's DonorsChoose Challenge

I cannot tell you what a wonderful addition the Snap Circuits sets were to my electricity unit! The experiments outlined in the booklets gave my students multiple examples of how circuits work. The experiments were so motivating that students begged to use the sets whenever they had a free minute. Usually the computers in my room are the things students like to use the most. I have a schedule so that every student can use the computer once a week. However, since introducing the Snap Circuits, many students are asking if they can work with those instead of taking their turn on the computer! You have NO idea how amazing that is!

We just finished the electricity unit, and the students truly seem to have a deeper understanding of the concepts and terminology than in years past. I really think it is due to their work with the Snap Circuits. After all, there is a limit to how much can be learned with just a battery, a couple of wires, and a bulb (which is what the district gives us).

Thank you so much for caring about my students! You are truly wonderful people!”

Thank you for supporting public education. My students absolutely LOVE their new classroom calendar system. Each day we work on making a pattern, counting money, telling time, and several other skills. The students enjoy reviewing all of these skills briefly each morning. I think the daily spiral review is going to be very beneficial to the students. We are also enjoying the Mountain Language and Mountain Math charts that we received. These charts also help the students receive a spiral review of essential skills each day. We are very thankful for your generosity.”

Thank you very much for putting the world at the touch of my students' fingertips with the gift of iPods. The kids are crazy for learning with our new tools! They whisper to each other about the books they were reading. The difference is amazing. You can bet that there will be more science videos, interactive applications, and math reviews in our classroom. We use our iPods everyday.

For some of my students, our new digital library allows them to approach a basket of books without fear of failure for the very first time. They do not have to be afraid that they can't take the ride with the book of their choice. All students are able to access quality literature and embark on new adventures with the technology. It means the world to them.

Thank you for continuing to help our classroom. We are starting our year with such engaging materials. Thank you! ”

The words "thank-you" seem so trivial in response to your generosity. We just received two e-mails from soldiers receiving our blankets over the holidays. Those e-mails placed a giant smile on the faces and hearts of my students and myself. We feel we have contributed to making another person smile as well. Thank you for your help and donation.

What a joy it is to read that my proposal had been funded. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to add enrichment activities to my student's daily routine. I like very much that I've been given a chance to educate my students in a way that is not new to them with the materials from your donation. Your kindness and thoughtfulness is very appreciated”

Thank you so much for these exciting Science supplies. I just received the email and thought this is the best day ever. I can't wait to tell my entire class how lucky we are to receive these wonderful resources. Thank you so very much for your generosity, you've really helped our classroom. We can't wait to use these supplies once they arrive. Happy Holidays”

Thank you so much for supporting my students in their adventure into circuits! They will be so excited to build circuits and even more excited to apply it to their Habitat for Humanity house! I can't wait to show you all our progress!

With much gratitude,

Thank you so much for helping us make this project happen. We can now begin the next step of our project, recording the interviews with the Veterans. We have collected more than 40 written initial interviews thus far and can't wait to get our audio recorders!

From the students, staff, and families of Nisqually Middle School please know that we are ever so thankful.

Thank yo so much for your generous funding of my "Electrifying Learning" proposal. I know the children will construct wonderful doll houses which will demonstrate their newly acquired scientific skills and knowledge on circuitry. Without your funding, I could not have made this unit of study real and meaningful! Thanks so very much!”
