  • Scientific Reading Materials for Middle School

    Funded Oct 14, 2008

    I want to thank you on behalf of myself and my students for your generous support. The funding has come just in time, as the number of students increases and the reading sources for science that we have here are limited. The two sample copies I have are overused, and have been read by all. Our second quarter begins in 12 days, and hopefully we will have them in time for their return from fall break. Your generosity will add a dimension to our classroom that will help both reading skills and learning science in a less threatening way than textbooks.

    Thank you again,

  • Math Concept Games + Math Reading Books = FUN!!!!!

    Funded Dec 6, 2008

    Thank you so much for the donations. My students will be so excited. As a person,who didn't get math as a child, I know how important it is to get children to not only understand it, but also love it. These resources will help prepare them for their Standardized testing and help foster a love for math. You just don't know how much this is needed. God Bless all of you”

  • Life Is A Game... Play It!

    Funded Oct 18, 2008

    Thank you so much for your generosity! You are making an impact on my students' lives, and I am so grateful for that!

    My gifted students have very unique needs that many times goes beyond academics. I feel that it is my job as their gifted teacher to address these needs in addition to challenging them academically. Your generous donation is making it much easier (and more fun) for me to accomplish this!

    I am so excited to tell my students that our project has been funded! They will be ecstatic to know that the games are on the way!

    Sincerely,

  • Creative Learning: Using Technology to Raise Scores

    Funded Oct 16, 2008

    Thank you for your support of this project. My students are very excited by your interest and can't wait to begin using our new computer. The projects they create (documentaries, podcasts, books with photos, music, etc) have all been made possible by your donation.

    While our success will be evident in elevated scores, it is the students' love of learning that's the real gift.

    Thank you again for your donation”

  • "Knowledge Is Power"

    Funded Oct 14, 2008

    Thank you so much. Words can't begin to say how grateful I am for your generous gift for my class. These children will greatly benefit from the times. I can't wait to tell them about it, tomorrow. I am excited to see their faces light up, when we get your gift. Many of these children don't have anything, and can't imagine a stranger would care enough about them to give them anything.

    With heartfelt gratitude,

  • iPod Literature Station

    Funded Oct 8, 2008

    I would like to thank you for funding this project for my class and me. I really enjoy reading and my goal this school year is to increase my students' love for reading. I have planned a lot of exciting activities and projects for my students this year. The iPod Literature station plays a big part in those plans. I really love using technology in my classroom. Today's society is controlled by technology, and our children need to use it to further their education in all possible ways. Once again, I would like to say thank you.

  • Learn and Have Fun at the Same Time? What a Concept!

    Funded Oct 8, 2008

    Thank you very much for funding my proposal. When I wrote the proposal I was thinking of ways to make the review of subject matter more fun. I find that when my second graders enjoy what they are doing, they don't even realize that they are learning. With the addition of these devices, they will look forward to these review sessions, whether we are reviewing math, spelling, or any other subject.

    Please know that you have made a difference in the lives of my 20 students. I can't wait to share the news tomorrow morning when I go to school. Last year I was fortunate to have a number of my proposals funded, but this is the first one this year with this new batch of kids.

    Thanks again for your support”

    With gratitude,

    Teacher
