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.

  • Calculation Edification

    Funded Feb 13, 2011

    There are not words enough to express my gratitude for your caring and generosity. The calculators that were purchase for my classroom have had a dramatic effect on the way that students approach mathematics. They have helped to improve student investment and confidence in their work as well as made collaboration fun and interesting.

    We use the calculators nearly every day, and students treat them as though they are precious. For some students, the calculators are an easy way to check their work and gain confidence in their answers. For other students these calculators are the difference between feeling frustrated and feeling successful. During group work the students use the calculator to check each others work and to make sure they are answering each problem correctly.

    Furthermore, the calculators were essential during our state testing. Before this year, not all students in my grade could use a calculator because there weren't enough. Now, each student has the skills and the materials to be successful. This has greatly leveled the playing field for my students.

    In a time of educational budget cuts, it is really amazing to know there are individuals like you out there willing to fill the void.

  • Tag Readers for Exciting K-1 Literacy Centers

    Funded Feb 9, 2011

    My students absolutely love their new tag readers. I have never seen students more excited about reading than they are with these new materials. The books that they get to use are among some of my students' favorites. They are able to take control of their own learning and read at their own pace with the assistance of the Tag system.

    It is so great to see students try to read on their own and then use the pen to check their reading. There are fun games they can play to assist with comprehension and the books are just so exciting to them! The characters even read their own parts so the stories literally come to life.

    I am so excited for my students to become lifelong, independent readers and these books and materials are really helping them get there. Thank you for your generous donations to my classroom!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Borden
