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.

  • Kindergarten Learning Carpet

    Funded Nov 20, 2009

    Thank you so much for your wonderful donations. My students have really enjoyed the rug. It has made the classroom so much more lively. The students love playing on the carpet and sitting and listening to stories. The rug came with so many great ideas for how to use it effectively.The amount of arguing for space has been cut in half. It has allowed or so many teachable moments. I hope you will continue to support other teachers, so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of having something new donated to their class”

    With gratitude,

  • Comfy Library Carpet Helps Young Readers

    Funded Nov 19, 2009

    I am so thankful that amazing folks like you still exist in the world. You don't know how much your

    donation of a colorful carpet that has 30 individual rectangles upon which the students can claim their own, means to me. As a Teacher Librarian who conducts over 30 different 21st Century Information Literacy lessons in this physical space, this special carpet has helped our students who were extremely distracted on the other old carpet that was filled with words, letters, numbers, pictures and in two languages! It was dirty and stained. It was much more appropriate for a classroom that taught those symbols every day.

    As you can see from the photographs, we not only have space to sit and read our books, we also have a nice place to do our reader's theater and short plays. I have a group of girls that now come to that special carpet to do theater because they love it there so much!

    The older students at our school are also able to fit in the space as well. We do more work on the carpet with our K-2 students but I've found that even our larger, older students love it as well. I can't tell you how much your generosity means to us. I want to be part of world class, high class, high standards public school education and by being part of Donor's Choose, you have chosen to be there with me. I appreciate what you have done for our Library. Five hundred or more children visit the library each week and now enjoy your beautiful carpet donation.”

  • We All Want To See The Book!

    Funded Nov 24, 2009

    I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for your donation and let you know that the new carpet that you funded has improved my students' learning experiences during every part of the school day. My students are more focused as they sit on the carpet during morning meeting, math meeting, and read alouds. They have space to move as we recite our alphabet chants and can see the pictures in all of the books that we read.

    They have also discovered that our new carpet serves as a great place to identify the letters in the alphabet, find their favorite colors, read with a friend, or take a nap after a long morning of work. Without your support none of these things would have been possible. Thank you again for your dedication to my students and early childhood education. ”

  • An Awesome Author Area Is All-Important!

    Funded Nov 20, 2009

    Thank you so much for contributing to my project and making this author area become a reality in my classroom! It has truly affected the students in a very positive way. They are able to go to a quiet and organized place where they can brainstorm and create wonderful works of art, stories, anything that comes to mind!

    We were lacking any sort of writing center, so when this fantastic piece of furniture arrived, the students were as amazed as I was!

    Your generous and thoughtful contribution will greatly enhance my class for many years to come. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Taylor
