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. In order to justify this endeavor I need your support. Please sponsor my Mustache by picking a classroom project from the list below to support. And wish me and my Mustache luck.

I wanted to express again my gratitude for helping me fulfill this project. The students are using the 4 ipods each week and I have personally purchased Spanish applications for them to use. They are listening to heritage speakers, learning new vocabulary and practicing grammar. The ipods are a great incentive for students to complete their work and my Spanish students are eager to finish projects so they can use our new classroom technology.
The students could not believe that people would want to see them succeed and would want to help someone they did not know. So, your donation not only helped my students in the classroom but your donation made them more aware of people's kindness and philanthropy and caused them to want to help others so much that I have the students going online to help feed the hungry through their correctly answering Spanish grammar and vocabulary questions. This is definitely an example of pay it forward!
Once again, I would like to personally thank each and every one of you for helping my class purchase four ipods. The students are thrilled with their new technology and are eagerly using the applications. You are an amazing group of people and please know your generosity is appreciated. The students wanted to know if they can ask for things online and I told them if we are appreciative of our gift from our newfound angels, and write our thank you notes, quite possibly we can ask for help in purchasing more ipods so more students can take advantage of this 21st century learning. Thank you again for helping a dream become a reality.”
My students absolutely love our new divider. It allows my classroom to be separated from outside distractions while providing a creative place for my students to discover storytelling. My students love listening to stories and acting them out with colorful, interactive materials on our storytelling room divider.
With these visuals, my students are able to better understand sequencing, characters, and character actions. Stories come to life on our room divider, which provides the stage. The room divider also acts as a separation in the room that gives my students a quiet place to reflect when they need time to themselves. It has made a huge difference in my classroom!”
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.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Thompson
