Your support has made an immediate and meaningful difference in our students' learning each day.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the digital whiteboards, we've seen a remarkable increase in student engagement. Lessons that were once simple are now interactive, exciting, and hands-on. Students eagerly volunteer to participate, collaborate with classmates, and explore new skills with confidence.\r\n\r\nThe whiteboards have quickly become an essential part of our daily routine. We use them every morning for phonics instruction, allowing students to build words, sort sounds, and practice spelling patterns in ways that are both visual and tactile. In math, the boards help students model problems and explain their thinking to the class—deepening their understanding and strengthening their communication skills.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these tools have created an environment where students are more motivated, curious, and engaged in their learning. Your generosity has enriched our classroom in ways that will continue to benefit students throughout the school year and beyond.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and investing in our students' success.

Our music teaching and learning , most specially ukelele playing, at Welchester Elementary School became more efficient because of the new resources we've received from DonorsChoose.\r\n\r\nThe books are rich in contents. They ranged from beginner to more advanced levels and we could use them for years. The felt picks helped us produce brighter sounds while making student beginners more comfortable at strumming our instruments. \r\nAs teacher, having a concert ukelele with strap to use while teaching made it more convenient to coach students individually or as a group while demonstrating playing techniques. The CD player is very useful in our classroom, not only for the ukelele unit, but also in other general music classroom units. We have also used it for caroling this season.
