Ink for Second Grade!
Funded Dec 18, 2015Dear Sponsors,
On behalf of my students and myself, I would love to take this opportunity to deeply thank you for supporting our educational goals. Your generous donation had a great positive impact on my students' education. With your help, my project was funded, and my students and I were extremely thrilled. This would not have been possible without your donation, which was incredibly helpful.
The ink was used to print projects my students shared with their friends and families during their Back to School Night. They were very excited to be able to display their published writing pieces, visuals, and "thinking maps" because they demonstrated all the wonderful things they learned about natural resources. Teaching children to take pride in their projects keeps them motivated to continue doing their best. Thank you again for your generosity!”
With gratitude,

Funded Feb 27, 2015My students and I were extremely overjoyed to receive our resources. We cannot thank you enough for your remarkable donation.
"Mrs. Medina, wow!! That's so cool!!" Those were my students words when I turned the document reader on for the first time. Your donation has tremendously boosted my teaching as well as my students' learning. Now we are able to do our close reading very efficiently. Thanks to the document camera, I'm able to model how to answer evidence-based questions. During math, we decipher complex word problems together by underlining key words and phrases. We are able to work the problems out step by step. My students follow along and participate more. In addition, the document camera has saved me so much time and money. I don't spend more time making transparencies and/or charts! I can project almost everything (students' work, math problems, informative articles, rocks, real money, and even my hands!).
The materials have also boosted classroom pride. We feel inspired and excited. I'm proud of my teaching skills, and my students feel very proud of their learning. The document camera has allowed me to improve my teaching practices for a variety of learning modalities across all area of the curriculum. My students have benefited from my understanding of how to incorporate technology in my lessons. My students' sense of pride continues to grow as we work together using our amazing document camera.
Thank you once again for your outstanding donation. Your contribution has made a difference in my students' academic success, and It has allowed me to demonstrate, collaborate, and develop a better understanding of close reading with my grade level during our planning time. Finally, having a document camera has helped me learn best practices while collaborating with my colleagues. Thank you so much for helping me grow as an educator!”

Funded Jan 19, 2015My students and I were extremely grateful and excited to receive our resources. We cannot thank you enough for your extraordinary donation.
The all-in-one laser color printer helped us tremendously as we worked on a unit about American symbols. My students were able to learn about significant national symbols thanks to generous people like you. As we moved though the unit, I was able to print many informative articles, graphic organizers, and foldables using our incredible all-in-one laser printer. They really enjoy putting together a pocket folder on American symbols such as the White House, the Statue of Liberty, the Washington Monument, and many more..... The list is endless. Your fabulous donation has left a remarkable print on their hearts and brains. My students can't stop talking about our significant American symbols. They find them everywhere throughout the day, even when we are learning other academic areas.
The materials boosted classroom pride. My students felt inspired and proud of their accomplishments. My students felt a sense of pride when they saw their completed Social Studies projects displayed in the classroom. They were very eager to bring their parents to our open house to show off their completed projects. Our open house was a huge success thanks to your generosity. Parents they took many pictures of their child's projects. You could see from their faces how impressed they were by their child's success. My students' sense of pride continues to grow as they work on new projects.
Thank you once again for your marvelous donation! Your contribution has made a difference in my students' academic success.”
