Thank you for choosing my proposal, "Performing Center Stage: Extraordinary Women in History" proposal. I was delighted to learn that these books will soon be supplementing my curriculum with womens' studies. Having these texts will allow the students to study another group from a historical perspective, and will complement our Native American and Slavery units. In addition, these texts present an opportunity for the students to utilize an educational resource that makes history fun and exciting to learn! My students love to learn through interactive experiences and being allowed to perform will engage them and make the material more meaningful and easier to retain.
In addition, thank you for funding the teacher's copy of "Making Sense of History." This text will permit me to utilize the plays as integral part of units that will make the students excited about people and events in the past.
Your generosity has funded books that will have a meaningful impact on my students' interest in history and their retention of the curriculum. More importantly, you are providing me with a valuable resource that will be used for years to come. Again, thank you for choosing my project and benefiting my students”
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I cannot wait to get started using the equipment. Since putting this proposal up, I have added new students to my caseload that will benefit. Your generosity will enable me to help severely language delayed students find their voice and bolster their confidence. I will put the machine to good use and I know that the children will be as excited as I am.
Thank you very much for funding this project for our class. The children will be very excited about receiving new literacy centers. Literacy centers are one of the favorite times of day for our class. The children look forward to it every day. I know that they will be even more enthusiastic about the centers when we get these new, exciting ones. Thank you so much for making learning more fun and engaging for our class”
Thank you so much for your generosity. Your gift will give my students an opportunity to learn how to read and the pleasure of having fun at the same time. Your decision to play an active part in the learning of these students will have a positive effect not only on them but also on students that will follow them in the future. My students are going to feel very important and special because you thought enough of them to provide them with the materials they need to become strong readers and writers. Once again, thank you for your commitment to a better world through education”
Thank you so much! A hearty and grateful thanks for this warm donation. Our kids will be able to feel like professionals as they journal, reflect, sketch and calculate all our wonderful community construction projects with your help. We can't thank you enough”
Thank you so much for deciding to fund my proposal. You made my day! The children really need to experience nature up close and watch the life cycle in action. Each child will get to experience the joy of planting a seed and watching it grow. They will also be responsible for cultivating the garden and will learn to take good care of it. This will truly be a fun learning experience for the children. Everyone will be involved in this project in a meaningful way and I believe it will lead them to be more aware of the environment as a whole”
I would like to extend my deepest thanks to you for donating to my proposal. In a few weeks, my class will begin an investigation of light and color and with your help this will be a hands-on and safe experience for all. My young students will be able to look closely at objects on the light table and test their own hypotheses about light and its properties. The light table you have helped to fund will be an integral part of our kindergarten science curriculum for many years to come. Thank you for helping to provide a thought-provoking resource for my students!
Sincerely,

This classroom project was brought to life by The Pumpkin Foundation/Joe and Carol Reich and 5 other donors.
Thank you so very much for funding my project. Because of your generosity I can continue to expose my students to a variety of educational materials. This particular project will make a direct impact on their lives because they are about the same age as the protagonist in the story, so it will give them insight into the lives of their ancestors. While this story is historical fiction, I am hopeful that it will encourage my students to pursue answers to questions discovered in the text by researching actual events from the era of slavery in the United States.
Again, on behalf of my students and myself a hearty THANK YOU”
Thank you so much for funding this project! We have started creating books on a smaller scale for each child and I am sure that they cannot wait to get started on larger book projects. They love seeing their work in the class. Thank you once again for your generous donation!
How excited I was to open my email and find that my project had been funded. I so appreciate your generosity to this very important project to bring technology to first grade students who live in economic situations that do not provide for this type of "luxury." I plan for my students to experience the thrill of seeing themselves both on screen and also behind the "scene" while developing digital stories. This digital camera will be used often to bring excitement to both fiction and non-fiction stories to help bring them to life for these students. How exciting would it be for them to be able to video tape each other and relate it to content standards, making those standards come alive!!
