John Amundsen's Mustache

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.

MY STUDENTS ARE VERY BRIGHT AND INTELLIGENT, THROUGH YOUR GIFT TO MY SCHOOL IT WILL HELP TO EXPOSE KIDS TO GRAPHIC ARTS PROGRAMS THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE. AS AN ART TEACHER WITH A LIMITED BUDGET YOUR DONATION HAS ENRICHED THE LIVES OF KIDS THAT BY ALL ACCOUNTS AND STATISTICS DON'T MATTER.

  • What? No paper? Let's Use the Document Camera Instead!

    Funded Dec 9, 2009

    I am so grateful for your donations that supported this project. It is important for me to introduce new technology to students whenever I can. By providing your generous support, you helped me achieve this goal.

    My students LOVE Elmo. They get so excited when I open the document camera and start to use it. All I hear are quiet whispers of, "That's so cool!" and "I want one too!". I've noticed that they are more engaged when I use Elmo and it has also helped to differentiate how I teach. Since I have students that learn in different ways, Elmo is a great addition to my being able to reach all learners. They can see what I write and where I write it. And they also get excited to come to the document camera and write on it too.

    Once again, thank you for your great generosity and continued support of student learning. You have definitely made an impact on my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Laqui
