Friends & family, I'm excited to participate in Mustaches for Kids for the first time. Companies like mine across the nation rally this time of year to help various charities. That's right, for the next four weeks, I will be subjecting myself to public humiliation and private doubt by growing my first Mustache ever. To justify this endeavor I need your support. Please sponsor my Mustache by picking a classroom project from the list below to donate to. Any amount is appreciated ... more

  • Calculators Desperately Seeking Batteries

    Funded Mar 1, 2011

    Thank you!  The batteries that you donated arrived in time for the big state test.  My students were now on the same playing field as other students taking the state test.

    But it is what we have been able to do on a daily basis.  The students have been able to learn some very complicated algebra and statistics using the calculators.  It has been a joy watching the students work with the calculators and to see the look of self-satisfaction when they have been able to complete a task.

    If it was not for your generosity none of this would have been possible.  Needing batteries seems like a simple thing, but it had a major impact on my students.  Thank you so much.

  • Classroom Comes Alive Part 2

    Funded Feb 13, 2011

    I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for your generosity. You have provided a vital piece of technology to our classroom; in an age where technology is so important. We use our LCD Projector everyday. It provides such an important visual for my students. We use it with our document camera and Mimio Interactive. I have noticed the students' improvement in many areas. It has also allowed us to add more activities to our day because of how easy it is to get images seen.

    I am a new teacher to this school and was not able to get the LCD Projector through our school budget. With your help we were able to provide the needed resources into the classroom. So many of my students benefit from visual materials, and this will help them achieve success in the classroom.

    Again, thank you for providing technology to students in need.”

  • Calculating for Acheivement: Success in the Math Classroom

    Funded Mar 9, 2011

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. The calculators will be a great addition and help us complete our class set. The students will now be able to each individually use a calculator and occasionally borrow them for tests if they need them. My Statistics students are really getting the hang of using these tools to their advantage and are ready to start mentoring the younger students.

    Please continue supporting classrooms across America. Many students are in need of supplies and DonorsChoose.org is helping fulfill these needs and help children reach their dreams.”

  • Cool Canopy and Seats for Cozy Corner

    Funded Feb 22, 2011

    A special thank you to those who made this project possible.  With your donations, we were able to expand our Cozy Corner by adding the six bean bags chairs.  The canopy is an added touch and makes the area so inviting.  The children love going to this area to sit and read.  As you can see in the pictures, you have created so many smiles and made reading so enjoyable!!!

    The children and I are hoping to get Tag Readers and books to add to this area.  Keep your fingers crossed!

    Love,

    First Grade Student”

  • Bring Technology into Our Curious Classroom

    Funded Feb 22, 2011

    I want to start by extending our grateful thanks to each and every one of you who donated to our project. I can't fully express my gratitude for all of your generosity. In the world we live in today technology is an important asset in nearly everything we do. The importance of using technology in education will not only prepare our youth for the work force, but allow them to explore and see places and things they may never have the opportunity to do in person.

    The tools that you have funded will allow my students the opportunity to explore and research what this world has to offer through virtual field trips and classroom projects. It will allow students to learn mathematics and other subjects is a visual way. Many of students come from low income homes where having computers is not an option within their house holds; your generosity has made it possible to expose children to technology.”

  • The Time is Now

    Funded Feb 9, 2011

    We have been using our new clocks to review time and work more on elapsed time. I was so excited as I watched the light bulb come on, as my students moved the minute hand and saw the hour hand move too! All of my students were thrilled to get new clocks! They love that the clocks have little stands to sit nicely on their desks. In fact, they liked them so much, they wanted to take them home!

    The best thing about these clocks, is that I know they will last for years and help many other students learn about clocks and how to tell time. I cannot thank you enough for donating to this project and for caring for my students. My students are amazing, and with these new clocks, they can take their learning to new heights!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Javens
