Help the <a href="http://www.skipalunch.com">Skip A Lunch</a> blog raise funds for <a href="http://www.donorschoose.org">DonorsChoose.org</a> in the 2008 Blogger Challenge! You can choose what projects you fund from my list, or choose your own, thanks!
Thank you all so much for your donation to my classroom! As my project began to get close to expiring, I wasn't sure it was going to get funded. My students have used the computers a couple times this year, and we have run into a few problems I know these zip drives will help prevent. Some students saved their work to the computer hard drive, only to have those computers break down and go in for repair- losing their work. When it takes you two hours to type a page, you get very frustrated when you lose that page, and it's been hard to convince them to keep working. I know these zip drives will make a huge difference in my students' computer literacy skills this year and in the future! Thanks again”
Thank you for your generous donation to our class project. With your gift of the microphone headsets, my students will be able to narrate their scientific findings and record their verbal explanations of our lab results - which will help keep them engaged, particularly those students who struggle with writing.
Also, we plan to incorporate their narration in multimedia projects of our research (using their sound recordings in our class blog, narrating short films and slide shows about our experiments).
My students are so excited about using these headsets in our upcoming projects. Thanks for supporting our class and helping inspire some future scientists”
Thank you so much for the listening centers. I cannot wait to use them in the classroom. I have so many students who are going to benefit from using them. They will be incorporated on a daily basis when doing our literature circles. Your donation is going to help so many readers improve on their reading abilities as well as create a new love for reading for students with low reading abilities. THANK YOU”
Thank you so much for your generous donation! My students have been working very hard this year to become better readers, and they will be thrilled to receive new books. I know this will increase their motivation to read, both in class and at home. The books will provide students with more opportunities to read different books and not be stuck on the same books over and over again. Support like yours helps our school be able to meet the needs of a very diverse population”
Thank you so much for funding my proposal. I can't wait to share the good news with my students. We have already begun our first movie project of the school year, but it does not include any video. It only has still pictures and scans of pictures. With these cameras we will be able to add video to the projects, as well as document all our activities of this school year, such as the upcoming Halloween parade in three weeks.
Know that you have made a difference in the lives of my second graders.
THANK YOU!!! When I wrote the proposal, I didn't initially tell my students. They were bummed that our printer had broken down but I didn't want them to be disappointed if the project didn't get funded. When we had less then $100 to be funded I couldn't contain myself and I told them about the project. They were extremely excited and when I tell them that the project has been fully funded, I KNOW their excitement will be even greater. Thank you for being a very important key to helping these students become successful. Know that you have not only helped them but also me. This will allow me to model the use of technology in our classroom and to make my instruction meet each of their specific needs. You have touched our hearts and it's wonderful that we DO have outside support. There are not enough words to thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :”
I would like to thank you for your generous donation to my project. My students will be so excited to receive these materials. They are eager readers and these materials will be used with much appreciation. It is going to add so much to my literature curriculum. They are going to love this book and it will instill a deeper appreciation for reading. I can't wait to receive the materials and get started. Thank you again”
With gratitude,
Teacher
