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.

Thank you all so very much for your contributions to the school library. Having up to date books that the students are eager to read are so important in promoting literacy. I am very happy to report that these books are by far the most requested and renewed books in the library. Students are talking about them, which in turn sparks a desire to read amongst their peers. I believe that when children are excited about what they are reading, rather than just choosing a random book from the library, they are far more likely to actually to comprehend the story as they read through it. Thanks again, your contributions have enhanced the lives of many students.”

I can not thank you enough for your generous contribution to my classroom. SInce using the iPod touches in the classroom my students are more and more excited about technology! My students get excited daily about the iPod touches!
My students use the iPod touches in various ways: the calculator for science and math assistance, the dictionary and thesaurus for enhancement of their word knowledge, brain-teaser games to enhance general knowledge of the world around them, apps for hand-eye coordination, just to name a few.
Thank you again for helping create a more creative learning environment for my students!

Your generous donation has made my students so excited to come into the classroom after lunch and enjoy activities that are so engaging for them.
With the Phonemic Awareness Match-Ups the children worked on rhyming, beginning and ending sounds, and consonant blends. They enjoyed the different Bingo games which allowed them to practice more rhyming, letters, sounds, numbers, and math operations. They especially enjoyed the Language Lacers allowing them to practice their language skills. With these activities the children also learned to work with each other.
These centers would not have been possible if it were not for you. Thank you so very much.”

I can't fully express my gratitude for your donation to my classroom. With the Hear Myself Sound Phones and the Dr. Seuss books the children were able to practice skills necessary to become successful readers and writers.
When reading a book or reading their sentences back to themselves they were able to hear their words or sentences and determine if it truly sounds right. They also loved finding all the rhyming words in the Dr. Seuss books.
Your donation has helped the students become solid readers and has helped build their confidence. Thank you so very much.”
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity. Your funding of my Leapin' Laptops project made a significant impact in my classroom. Our school is taking huge steps to make the most of technology and this project provided another tool for my students to use.
At the beginning of the year, 67% of my students were at Kindergarten level on our newly implemented Lexia program. Because I had an additional computer to use, all but 2 students are now at second grade level or beyond. It has made an enormous impact on their reading AND writing skills and I am thrilled!
Thank you again for your heart for schools.”

Your generosity has been an absolute blessing during these tough economic times. The budget cuts are putting major dampers on the education system. By funding this project you have help me to reach all my students and keep education fun and exciting. My students love having the iPods in the classroom to play educational games, looking up information, and utilizing the numerous applications that are available. With all these products I am able to reach all of my student's individual needs and bring excitement to my classroom. Without your donation I would not be able to teach with creativity and success. Thank you from the bottom of our heart. Your thoughtfulness and compassion for education will be used in my classroom for many years and by many students.”

This project has been so beneficial to my young students. The activities we have been able to do, thanks to the supplies provided, have helped create a classroom atmosphere of direct interactive instruction. Students use the writing paddles daily and are excited to share their answers with each other. This is very beneficial in instilling a sense of confidence in each learner. Students had a great time learning all about teeth and dental hygiene. I look forward to sharing their "Tooth Fairy Tales" with you all. Thanks again!”

The students have really enjoyed having new classroom technology. They continue to make prior knowledge associations with this activity which allows me evaluate the lesson as a success. I feel that this lesson has brought awareness to my students that science is all around them at all times. Students are very interested in things that they find and are curious if the metal detector with recognize their findings or not. It is very nice to have the additional laptop as well. Students are able to look up the components of items found in relation to what materials are magnetic and which are not. Thank you so much for this amazing educational experience.”
We thank you for your generosity. The supplies you have helped us acquire are utilized daily in the form of Occupational Therapy Centers (O.T. Centers.) Since my students have had access to the supplies, like Theraputty, magnetic puzzles, nuts and bolts, and beading, my students have improved their fine motor skills.
Students are allowed access to these supplies for an hour a day. They rotate through 3 centers where they are able to work on their handwriting using the twist and write pencils, go fishing using the magnetic puzzles, or even work on writing their letters and numbers using stencils. The activities in the centers change daily which give the students the variety they need to keep engaged.
Using the materials provided has become my students favorite part of the day. They are always asking if it is time for O.T. Centers yet. Thank you so much!”
Thank you for helping provide Leapsters and Leapster games for my classroom. My students greatly appreciate your generosity and really enjoy having the Leapsters to use in our classroom. They are very beneficial to my students learning. My students are able to reinforce concepts they are learning through the use of this technology. They are overjoyed each time they get to use one of the Leapsters.
The Leapsters and the games have become a part of our daily routine. Each student is able to access this technology daily and they really enjoy using it. It has become a great reward for my student who struggle to complete their work. They are able to earn time on the Leapster for every assignment they complete. This works as a great reinforcer for their good behavior.
Thank you for your help and generosity, my class thanks you greatly!”
