We're Rolling in P.E.!
|
My co-PE teacher and I have 700+ boys and girls that come in our gym on a daily basis. Our largest class has about 150 students! P.E. time is exciting for our students as it's really the only time during the day that they can be active and socially interact with others. They like team building games and love scooter activities!. \r\n\r\nWe are located in a high poverty area. Not all, but many of my students live in foster homes, with extended families or even motels. Despite their unfair living situations, they come to school eager, ready to learn and love P.E. Our students want to move, love being active and like learning new games.

The roller racers will be fun and very beneficial to all of my students. This piece of equipment makes the children use their upper body to propel their whole body forward. It will be a fun way for them to work on and increase their muscular strength and endurance. \r\n\r\nThey will be especially helpful for my special needs students. While the students are using 4-wheeled scooters, they are able to sit on the roller racers and hold on to the handles. In our activities where students are pushing other students on scooters, the students riding are supposed to pick up and hold up their feet and legs. This is a very difficult task for some students who struggle with balance. The roller racer provides places for the students to place their feet as well as bars to hold on to.
| null | null |
My students need 8 roller racers so that they can use them when we are working on motor skills.

Amazing, that is what describes the students that walk through my door every day. These children have big hopes and dreams and it is my privilege to be even a small part of their journey. We are a title 1 school in Sanger, California.\r\n\r\nThese children are my inspiration to be the best teacher I can be. My hope is that with support I can provide them with every opportunity to succeed. That no matter where you come from you can make this world a better place.\r\n\r\nThank you for taking the time to read our story and consider supporting the students at Wilson School in Sanger, California.

My students will use these iPads throughout the day in reading, writing, and math. With the five iPads students will have more opportunities to listen to stories, read books, practice math facts, and most importantly share their work with parents. Taking ownership of their learning has become a big part of our classroom. When students are able to explain and share what they have learned with their parents there is a greater sense of pride. This technology will allow students to share with their parents, no more waiting for papers to be sent home by the teacher.\r\n\r\n2nd graders know how to use technology and can bring their reading, writing, and math to life. Some of the apps we will use are Accelerated Reader, Class Dojo, and Big Brainz. I believe that this will be the tip of the iceberg! With this technology their learning will have no limits. Thank you for your support!

First Grader Reading Explorers
|
My students come from many different cultural backgrounds and love to learn! Our school is a PreK-2 school that is filled with a bunch of enthusiastic learners in a small town.\r\n\r\nThis school year is especially important for my students to become even better readers. They are always looking for new and interesting ways to learn more about how to become life-long learners! Both the sound phones and the phonemic awareness center will help my students achieve their reading goals this year.\r\n\r\n
|
The sound phones will help the students build more confidence in their reading as well as help them to become better readers in many ways. They can listen to how they sound when they are reading and self-monitor their own reading. They can also learn how to read with more expression and make their stories really come to life. They can also hear how they are sounding out unknown words to see if it actually makes sense. All of these reasons will help them to become even better readers!\r\n\r\nThe phonemic awareness tin will help the students to practice their beginning and ending sounds, which will in turn make it easier for them to decode unknown words in their reading. This is a fun and easy way for them to work at a reading center with their teacher or a partner and practice making words while also practicing their phonemic awareness at the same time!
| null | null |
My students need sound phones to hear how they sound when they are reading, and some hands on practice for phonemic awareness sounds.

Going on Adventures Through Books at our Listening Center
|
I love teaching at my school. It is filled with lively and inquisitive students who are anxious to learn. Each day is an adventure and the students make coming to work so much fun!\r\nI teach at a performing/visual arts school with many creative and artistic students. They love to perform, create and learn new things. \r\nMy school is located west of Phoenix nestled in between the Estrella and White Tank Mountains. The school is starting its second year and we gained 150 more students than last year. We are a title one school, filled with families who want to create great educational opportunities for their kids. I'm very excited to create a positive experience for them through Donors Choose!
|
My students love to be read to. It is very beneficial for students to hear their teachers and parents read to them, modeling fluency, phrasing and expression. I want to help my students gain the confidence to know that they can be great readers too!\r\nHaving a listening center in our classroom will benefit all students! It is such an engaging and fun activity that students can do independently while I am working with small groups. Beginning and emergent readers need to read, read and then read some more! I know that it will boost their confidence to be able to read along with the books on CD and will foster a love for reading that will last a lifetime!

My students need a ready to go listening center with storage unit! They will be so excited to follow along and read with the I Can Read books!

Bouncing Back To Learning \r\n
|
I teach first, second and third graders in a high poverty school in Georgia, which can make teaching a challenge at times. One hundred percent of my students receive free breakfast and 90% receive free or reduced-price lunches this year. This school year, 100% of my students receive Special Education services in all academic areas. Despite their challenges, my students are motivated to learn, and have dreams of becoming scientists, mathematicians, authors, and engineers. However, the shortage of funds makes it difficult for us to get the resources needed. Projects like these will keep our students focused, so they can be excited about learning, and keep them engaged while having fun.
|
My project includes an assortment of sensory tools that help students stay calm during school. When students have sensory needs, they are unable to focus on instruction. Fidgets, weighted items, and soothing visuals give students a more productive way to meet their sensory needs. Therefore, my students need the Bouncy bands and the fidget cubes to be able to focus more on their academic tasks and work towards meeting their individual education goals. Our classroom could really benefit from having these Bouncy Bands on their desks and fidget cubes in their hands. The Bouncy Bands are a great way to release energy while they are in their desk and the fidget cubes are an excellent way for the students' hands to keep busy while they focus their energy on listening and learning. \r\n\r\n\r\n

My students need the Bouncy Bands for their feet and Fidgets Cubes for their hands to help them sit still and pay better attention during the day.

Building 21st Century Skills With Tablets!
|
Our library is a center of learning for our diverse population. Our students visit the library often for a variety of reasons. We want to be able to continue to serve them and meet their needs by providing updated materials. \r\n\r\nOur school serves over 1500 students in the heart Cincinnati's historic Over-the-Rhine. Our students come from culturally diverse backgrounds. Students strive for both academic and artistic excellence. In addition to a full academic course-load, students must maintain high standards in an artistic major as well.
|
Our students must be able to keep up with the always changing role and demands of technology in today's world. Access to these new tablets would allow our students the opportunity to learn and grow as citizens of a global society. We will be offering them experiences that link them to real world learning.\r\n\r\nStudents will be able to download the latest in educational apps, conduct research at their fingertips, and read e-books instantly. By affording these experiences to our students, we are preparing them to enter college and/or the workforce with the technological experiences that will help them to be successful.

Do the Wobble!
|
My 4th graders are amazing! They love learning and are excited about school. So many of these students feel safest and happiest when they are in class. I can't wait to see what this year holds.\r\n\r\nI teach in a Title 1 school where 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. We have a staff of caring teachers and administrators who go above and beyond to ensure each child is taken care of, physically, emotionally and academically.\r\n\r\nThese children need every opportunity to reach their potential, so I am asking for your help to make them successful. You won't regret it!
|
Many of my students have trouble sitting for any length of time and are often fidgeting, shifting back and forth, or even rolling on the floor. This obviously takes away from our learning time as a class and it severely impacts the student who is having trouble maintaining focus.\r\n\r\nChildren do not get enough physical play throughout the day and that negatively impacts their ability to focus when they are seated in traditional desks and chairs. Wobble stools allow the child to \"fidget\" without disrupting other students or taking away their own focus. \r\n\r\nBy helping us reach our goal, you can give my students the opportunity to maximize their learning each day because the distractions are taken care of.

My students need flexible seating so they can focus their attention on their work more effectively.

Hear Ye! Hear! We Need Technology!!!
|
Our Deaf/Hard of Hearing (DHOH) program currently serves approximately 25 students in grades K-8th grade, and is steadily growing. Due to the combined effects of hearing loss, language-speech delay, lack of fine and gross motor skills and other physical limitations, our students require continuous monitoring and assistance academically.\r\nOur students struggle daily with receptive and expressive language delays. However, no matter the challenges facing them, these students are eager to explore the many facets of education. As a teacher in this program, I make it a priority to find the most effective ways in which to teach our students while giving them all available resources they need in and out of the classroom.
|
My students would greatly benefit from three tablets during small group intervention and independent learning in school and at home. With three grade levels in one classroom, a tablet led learning center will foster student independence and strengthen student learning.\r\nWith the many challenges facing parents today, some are unable to acquire the technology needed to reinforce academic concepts in the home.\r\nOne of the most common struggles for parents today is understanding \"the new way of teaching and learning in the classroom\". To help those parents and students, I would like to create short learning videos of a teacher executing a lesson from beginning to end of concepts learned in the classroom. The videos could also provide mini-strategy lessons for students that may be struggling academically. Our parents would be able to access the videos of lessons on the tablets or personal computers to review with their child at home. For schools within a district that use the same curriculum, the videos could be accessed through a district-wide or cross district student-parent portal for grades K-12, so that any parent can access the videos. This would help parents guide their child through their lessons at home, give confidence to our students in their academics and make learning fun for the entire family. Our students are struggling with short-long vowels and rhyming sounds. The use of the sound teaching tubs will help in addressing their receptive and expressive language delays while building their word and sentence making skills. The addition of the ten frames and math stamp manipulative will help increase student understanding of math concepts. Our classroom also needs color ink replacements to print our colorful activities and student work. Please help continue making our classroom a success!
| null | null |
My students need 3 tablets with protective covers for small group and independent learning; vowel and rhyming teaching tubs along with ten frame math manipulative for learning concepts; color ink to print student creative work.

My Life Skill students are structured learners, they are mostly non verbal which make it hard for my students to communicate with each other and the world.\r\n\r\nAlthough they are students who have trouble communicating with the world, they are a blessing, they are non-verbal Life Skill students who have a lot of trouble making sense of the world.\r\n\r\nEach of my students are unique; many of my students have exceptional abilities in visual skills, music and academic talents. They have trouble interpreting things such as, smell, hearing, touch, seeing, and, have trouble using proper social skills. Because of their disorder, it becomes hard for them to talk, listen, understand, play, and learn. They are learning to communicate with each other, learning to work cooperatively, and learning to share with each other, as well as communicating with other people. Due to budget cuts, our school does not have the funds to buy certain items that will enhance their hidden talents.\r\n

This project requests of an HP color printer and printer cartridges will be used for my scholars in their classroom centers. Because of your generous donations, my student will be able to print school activities in color to help solve real world problems, allow them to help with Hand-eye coordination, Sensory-body coordination, Presentation skills, Matching, Facial recognition, and Academics by having the capabilites to print in color. My students have the mindset to understand things that we can't understand or see. Their amazing minds will allow them to find hidden talents that they can use in the real world, help them to start early to communicate with each other as well as the real world, allowing them to use their voice, they will have a smoother transition to life after school. They may not be able to talk or have great hand/body coordination, but allowing them to print their thoughts in color will make a difference in how they are able to communicate and be able to complete school work with color. Give my scholars color, a colored picture can speak a thousand words!

My students are eager and constantly asking questions. From the minute they walk in the door they are asking questions and are ready to learn. They come from many different economic, as well as cultural backrounds. In spite of that they refer to themselves as a family. \r\nThey look out for eachother and do not hesitate to help someone who does not quiet understand something.\r\nOur school, Literacy, Leadership, Technology Academy, is the same way. I don't feel like I am just a co-worker. I feel it is a family and we are always there to help eachother. To me that speaks volumes about what LLT is all about.

Technology is an evergrowing, and changing force in todays society. I want to give my little ones a head start by having one to one technology in our classroom. There are a lot of opportunities for us to use ipads during instruction. \r\n Our math curriculum has web based activites, and having one to one ipads would make utilizing this feature on a daily basis a lot easier. \r\n We would also be able to use them in Science and Social Studies. Using apps like Nearpod where students would participate through the ipad. I would be able to see each student's involvement in the lesson as the lesson progresses. \r\n Using an app such as see saw would allow students to choose the work they want to add to their digital portfolio. They would take the picture to upload to their portfolio. \r\n By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student participation within the lesson, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement, and give them a headstart with technology.\r\n

I am a Kindergarten teacher in the Collinsville School District. I love working with this age group and watching them explore, learn and begin to love school. Our school is a Pre-kindergarten through 4th grade building. Over half of my kids qualify for free or reduced price lunches this year. My students are very eager to learn and learn best with hands-on activities. I strive to provide great materials that will encourage my students to want to learn. My students develop ownership and respect for their classroom and the materials they use in the room. \r\n\r\nEach year, I strive to build a strong connection with my students and their families. I feel it is so important that my students and families feel that they belong and can come to me with anything. My students leave each year feeling that they were part of our \"Kindergarten family.\"\r\n\r\nEach project donated to our classroom will truly help the students' learning process and will provide new and exciting tools to keep them engaged in the learning process. Thank you so much for considering a donation to my students. We greatly appreciate you!

Dance to create a better tomorrow!

My students are amazing! They are elated to be getting dance in their school day. They are kindergarten- 6th grade and they are full of life.\r\nAll of my students come from low economic areas. Where over 90% of the school receives free lunch. My students are faced with challenges both in and outside of the classroom. Despite the challenges they face I want dance class to be a time where the students can get away from their worries, learn be creative and have fun. \r\n\r\nDance gives the students a new way of self expression! It allows students a new way of thinking. We do a lot of creative problem solving in dance class which does wonders for my students.\r\n\r\nOverall my students are great humans and will dance their way to the top!

My students love dancing and are always wanting to do dance videos on the computer. This would make them so happy if that wish came true.\r\n\r\nMost of my students come from a very difficult home life and coming to dance is a great opportunity for them to express themselves in a brand new way. Dance allows them to be free and try something new! By donating to our project you are giving my student a chance. A chance to learn, be creative and express themselves through the art of dance.\r\n\r\nThe arts has the ability to give students wing, wings that can take them anywhere they wanna go.

My scholars are from every corner of the globe. These scholars are in the know of today's technology, however we are still behind in having that support in the classrooms. One of the things that would be pretty awesome would be a true smartboard in the classroom, in which my scholars would be able to truly have an interactive experience in the classroom. \r\n\r\nAlthough my school is moving towards having technology in every classroom, there is always room for improvement and growth. I teach Social Studies and we travel the globe for better understanding and having a smartboard with all of the bells and whistles that accompany the equipment would truly be a blessing.

Hand on Math Concepts
|
My students are creative energetic fifth graders ready for whatever I have in store for them. They learn best through hands on work and to reinforce the concepts that they are learning about in class. I like to teach through hands on work so that all the students can understand the concepts even if the numbers get them a little confused. \r\nThere are a lot of changes every day for my students in their lives, so I want to be the consistent factor. Every day they come into school and get breakfast during homeroom to start their day. The whole school also receives free lunch before recess time.
|
Every math concept can be taken to the arts to create a real life learning situation. My students love to be creative and it would be great to have the materials for them to be creative with. \r\nCompleting work my students can, sitting still they cannot. I can identify with students that have to move around while working and I want to have create a safe place for them to be able to move while completing their work with the yoga balls for seats. This will allow them to move while still staying at their work space. \r\nWhat kid doesn't love to draw on the board? I like to have time where my students can get up and show their work on the board. With many different colors they will be able to express themselves a little more while showing the work to the class. \r\nMath and nature go hand in hand, just like math and art. I like to apply the concepts I learn to art projects to solidify what I am teaching. In order to do that, I do need supplies. The chart paper will be great for students to create anchor chart posters around the room with their own designs and way of remembering concepts. Using the pencils and construction paper students can create their own projects and be creative. \r\n

It all make sense! \r\n(Sensory input in the classroom)
|
Being a six year-old is tough! There is no \"still as a statue, criss-cross applesauce\" in my classroom. Learning is hard work and involves the entire body. Our classroom provides many options and choices for students to learn where they choose and can be the most successful.\r\n\r\n My students have a wide range of abilities and needs. I work collaboratively with autistic students, students with intellectual disabilities, and students that are not normally successful in a traditional classroom environment. I love having students that are struggling learners as well as having gifted learners. I feel that differentiation is my strength and that all students need a teacher that will be responsive to their needs.

Many of my students are non-traditional learners. My students will use the wobble stools and sensory seats to increase their focus while their developing bodies get the sensory input they need. My autistic students struggle with the fluorescent lighting in our classroom, so the light filters will make a difference. My students that are oral sensory seekers will have safe toys to chew and not have to worry about ingesting pencil wood and lead.\r\nI want all students to feel confident and successful in my classroom. It is more difficult for some than others. These items will help them feel included with our general classroom community.

Classroom Furniture and Supplies to Motivate Modern Learners
|
I am the reading coach at a Title 1 school in Alabama with about 430 students. All of our students eat free breakfast and lunch. \r\n Our students are loving, kind, and smart kids. They come to school every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them each day. They are capable of doing anything they choose but they need to know we believe in them. \r\nWe are small community and some of our kids never go anywhere or do anything outside of our community. I have a special bond with these kids at our school because this was my elementary school too. I want them to feel successful and have the best learning experiences like I did. I want these students to be proud of where they went to elementary school and know they can do anything they choose.

Having sturdy tables and chairs and plenty of paper and ink helps keep our classrooms moving. We need to be able to leave our furniture in the rooms where it is needed and not have to move from room to room. This takes up valuable time. And to help keep our students engaged and up to date with technology we need to have materials readily available, such as paper and ink cartridges for the printers. There has been so many times we need to have things printed, but are not able to do so because our printers are out of ink. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Hello! \r\nMy students come from different racial backgrounds and economic situations. We are in Portland, Oregon and we are a middle school. My students are special in that they care for the sake of others and they are unique.\r\nHelp my students in the upper floors need a new library! Our school has a large population of kids that are involved in many community projects and are involved in their neighborhood. So many great kids are here at our school. Awesome kids!
|
These books will help young readers identify with modern times and some of them are historical. Most of them are new and will appeal to 8th graders who like science fiction, romance, new fiction, gender studies, and history! I really want to create a unique classroom library that they can draw on for assignments, silent reading, and exposure to different cultures. There are so many new titles that students will be able to access and it will make sure that these 8th graders have a great year of reading. \r\n\r\nMany of these books are new! I cant wait to see my kids dive in!

My students are special because they come from very unique backgrounds. They live in different types of families, are a variety of ethnic backgrounds, and bring a lot of different experiences to our school family. Most of my kiddos come from low income families, which means I try to support them as much as possible to help them succeed! \r\n\r\nI want the best learning experiences for my students, so they can learn to love learning. Fostering those great experiences now will help build their future!

Many of my students struggle with coping skills. They lack the knowledge of how to regulate how they feel or even know what they are feeling. With some guidance and coaching, this quiet cube is a great resource to help teach my struggling students how to self-regulate! \r\nThe quiet cube is a designated place that my students can go on their own when they are feeling frustrated or angry. This allows them a time away from the classroom environment and peers so they have the opportunity to calm down, regroup and try again. \r\nTeaching students to self-regulate irrational behaviors can help students begin to feel better about their feelings and allows peers to help them as well. \r\nA healthy and safe mind is a mind that is able to learn :)

Partition Walls for Learning
|
\r\nMy students are a mix of special needs students ranging from wheelchair bound/medical to mild functioning autism. Our classroom is a self-contained developmentally delayed classroom. Most of the students spend 100% of their day in our room and 3-4 years in our school.\r\n\r\nThese kids depend upon adults in their environment to help with the daily skills such as life skills, feeding, bathroom, and academic skills. \r\n\r\nThese students work hard everyday on fine motor, gross motor, and self help skills.
|
My students struggle with focus and attention. I often have to use P.E. mats to place between student work stations to stop wandering eyes. I am asking for four partition walls to help my students in the areas of focus and attention. These walls will be used in areas such as work stations, cool down areas, physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy. \r\n\r\nMy classroom also needs a rug since half of my students require physical and occupational therapy throughout the school day which is typically administered on the floor.\r\n\r\nWe appreciate any help that you can give us! :)

Opening Up A World Of Possibilities
|
Living in the ghosttowns of the southern West Vriginia coalfields is becoming a life that gets harder and harder every day. With practically all of our coal mines shutting down we are left with no other jobs and a very high poverty rate. The lack of coal being mined and hauled on our highways has left us with basically no coal severance tax dollars which was the gasoline that fueled our schools. Please help my 4th grade students gain access to the technology tools they deserve to differentiate and strengthen their education of basic skills so that they can someday have the knowledge it takes to enter college and make a career for themselves that doesn't revolve around coal mining industry.

These laptops and Ipad wont only make every day instruction more engaging for students, they will also bring new possibilities of reaching those unreachable students. This new technology will serve all students bring unthinkable possibilities to both the higher and lower level students in my classroom. In our high poverty/high unemployed district our county is not financially capable of providing our students with the technology they not only deserve but need to learn through 21st century instruction. Teachers are faced with more students and fewer teachers.If we are lucky enough to receive this it would be used in ALL subjects changing the way my students learn and perhaps opening up the possibility of a future they never dreamed of.

Wobble Chairs are stools specifically designed to allow students to wiggle safely, strengthen their core, and release extra energy without disturbing other students.\r\nWobble Chairs are a great alternative seating option for children with ADD or ADHD and all types of learners.\r\nI want to embrace my student's extra energy in a positive way that will not disturb their learning or other student's learning. Wobble Chairs will help my students stay focused for longer periods of time. This alternative seating will also provide my students the outlet needed for movement while being productive in class. I do give regular brain breaks throughout the day, but there are some students that need more activity than I can provide while teaching. The Wobble Chair will allow my students the ability to move while learning without feeling like they are trapped behind a desk until recess comes.

Student Centered Classrooms Through Flexible Seating
|
I currently teach 2nd graders in a diverse, low income school community. Approximately 75% of our students receive free and reduced lunch and over 100 families take home backpack buddy food to support their families. My students arrive everyday eager to learn, and I encourage students everyday to develop a strong sense of self, community and awareness of their academic and social needs. My students love to move, explore and learn they celebrate their successes and encourage others to succeed.
|
My classroom is very student centered, focusing on the students and meeting their needs always comes first in everything I do. There are a wide variety of benefits to having flexible seating options in classrooms. These benefits range from increasing oxygen to the brain to improving academic performance. \r\n\r\nRecent studies show that students who have more physical activity in the classroom have more on task behavior and increased learning and achievement. \r\n\r\nFunding of this project will allow my students to improve their overall physical health while improving their academic performance. Allowing students to select from a variety of flexible seating options provides them the opportunity to make choices which benefit their individual learning.

By having the internet in the palm of their hands, my students will be able to extend their learning to outside of our classroom’s four walls. Students will also be able to access their online textbooks and practice their online assessments. In addition, there are amazing apps that the students will have access to such as reading intervention, math skills as well as writing/ typing and social situations. In our twenty-first century classrooms students have to have the ability to efficiently use technology tools; however they need someone to teach them.

Our school is a huge part of our small community and consists of approximately 850 Young 5 through Second Grade students, all of which who come from a wide range of backgrounds. All of the students in the school come to my class called Technology, Engineering, and Computer Science where they are provided with a unique learning experience and an equal opportunity to succeed. To many students in the school, this is their favorite class. \r\n\r\nThe most exciting part about teaching is watching students become excited about learning. These students love hands-on activities and are captivated by learning about how things work. They design, build, make, dream, code, and think. To my students, my class is one of the best parts of their day, and to me, watching them work is one of mine.

Dash and Dot Robots, and Ozobots provide children with a hands-on opportunity to learn and practice coding skills. Having these resources as part of Technology, Engineering, and Computer Science class as well as part of our STEAM Lab will allow children to be up and moving around in a fun, engaging way to learn coding. \r\n\r\nThis project will make a difference because it provides a wide range of leaners a unique experience from which they will build upon and draw from for many years. \r\n\r\nThe dollar-to-student ratio makes funding this project a tremendous value as they will be available for use by over 800 early elementary age students. Hands-on activities help create meaningful learning experiences, which is exactly the type of experiences children need.

Third Grade Rockstars in Drastic Need of iPad Minis!

Imagine life with limited technology. You are only able to access technology at school for a 15-minute interval. Having the desire and hunger to explore and gain knowledge through the use of technology, yet not being able to do so. \"Everyone should have an opportunity to learn in a positive environment, to enjoy the learning process and feel comfortable and content within it\" shared Barry Saide. Technology is an essential tool in the learning process. It provides a more engaging atmosphere!\r\n\r\nMy 3rd graders are from diverse cultures and backgrounds with one common factor: poverty. Numerous of my students are English Language Learners. All of which come from low-income families and receive free lunch. My students face challenges at home however, return to school each day excited and eager to learn. The iPads will present them with access to technology that other students may take for granted. They are always enthusiastic about using the computers. I am ecstatic when they are because I know that they are receiving invaluable intervention services through the programs that we use in our classroom\r\n

Providing six iPads with protective cases will renovate my classroom whilst deliver additional opportunities for my students to prosper. They offer astounding educational experiences due to the amount of learning apps available. Students will be able to work independently on programs to assist in gaining grade-level skills or provide beyond grade-level chances. Not only do students benefit from working with the iPads, but I benefit as well. The iPads offer me the opportunity to work with more small groups of students to bring more individualized instruction as students are engaged independently with the iPads. \r\n\r\nThis donation will increase my students' access to invaluable technology as well as provide more engaging learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThrough the classrooms of my peers, I have seen first hand the amazing impact that they can have on teaching and learning. It would be mind-blowing to be able to have this experience in my own classroom!\r\n

My kindergarten students are learning to read and write in two languages. Therefore, having white boards in our small groups will help a lot because my students will practice how to write words and sentences (space, capital, period, and spelling in both language). Furthermore, they will also practice how to write equation and solve them in their white boards. The most important thing is that they will be able to sound out letters and blend them to form words. White boards are very useful and we can use them for all subjects in our classroom from writing letters to writing words and sentences. In math from writing numbers to writing equations. Yeah, for white boards!

My school is a Title 1 school located in the inner city of Atlanta. My students are a group of high energy students that love to stay engaged in things that will help them learn. They enjoy playing educational computer games and working with manipulatives to figure out new ways of solving problems. They are a driven set of individuals who embody the meaning of learning at its highest. Their neighborhood may be filled with blighted and abandoned homes and businesses, but what makes my students special is that they do not use the \"lack of\" supplies as a reason to hinder their education.

Donations to this project will make a difference in my students academic lives by allowing them to engage in the continuous evolution of technology. By funding these award-winning educational supplies, it will spark creativity, innovation, determination, and dedication unmatched by students of their caliber. With the OSMO Coding kits, the students will be able to use OSMO Coding Blocks to write mini computer programs to command and manipulate a character on their classroom iPads. The OSMO Wonder and Genius kits will intuitively build student's level of proficiency for mathematics through a very fun and engaging way of using number tiles, tangrams, letter and word tiles to solve problems. I believe teaching students at a very early age about connecting math and coding will eventually leave an unequivocal impression on the students about the importance of STEM in our everyday lives.

I am requesting a donation for five iPads. With the current advancing state of modern technology, children need to learn to have at least a basic understanding of how to utilize the information that is abundant on the internet. Additionally, integrating technology in the classroom through different apps gives students the opportunity to learn in new and exciting ways. \r\nThrough this project, my class will have the chance to explore the subjects that interest them in a monitored environment. This will help to bring the joy back into learning. For example, students may choose to examine the life of famous baseball player, Nolan Ryan. They may then take what they have learned and present it to the class using Nearpod or ShowMe.

My students are the ones who direct the learning and I create my classroom and curriculum in a way that best meets their needs. \r\nMy students bring so much joy to my life, I honestly learn just as much from them as I try to teach them. They have such a unique perspective on life and how the world works. I'm simply guiding and riding this train of learning with them.

The cube chairs are designed not only for sitting but can be used for students to play with toys on and to use as a desk. They are an awesome tool for the classroom, I think of each of my students as a house. In preschool we lay the foundation for what will be built in the next academic year.

Creative Minds and Virtual Reality Collide
|
8th graders, at all academic levels that love to move, love to read and write and love lots of positive attention. Many of them come from different household dynamics and/or receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as \"typical\". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence. I want these students to become passionate about learning and finding success at meeting their goals.

Many of my students will never and have never experienced the world outside their home state. \r\n\r\nI would like to allow my classes to go on field trips to Buckingham Palace, Machu Picchu, and the Great Barrier Reef, without leaving the classroom. They’ll be doing it through virtual reality. They could use these Google Cardboard VR's to explore beyond the classroom. This will allow free movement in the classroom and collaboration with their classmates as well.\r\n\r\nHow amazing would this experience be for these children? It can be integrated into all subject areas in school. Creative writing, science explorations, robotics, etc.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Discover Me
|
My Pre-K class has 11 students who are well aware of the 7 Habits. They exhibit respect, empathy and sympathy. They work hard to problem solve on a daily basis and care when negativity is in their classroom. They are well versed in the 7 habits and are able to sing a song about each one.\r\n\r\nMy students respect each other, their room and their belongings. They care if someone is absent or late. In short, they are a loving group of students.\r\n\r\n

These materials will make a difference in my classroom because they will allow my children to expand their creativity, use their imagination, discovery via the science materials and strengthen their counting abilities.\r\n\r\nLack of funding has our students in need of items such as these. Our classroom requires more materials which will let our children have choices and promote creativity and individuality. My students will have enough materials to be able to express themselves by using these materials. Due to budget cuts and lack of funding we are no longer supplied with these materials. You will make it possible for my students to discover and create themes throughout the year.

My school serves a student population that is 95% low-income, 98% minority, 62% English Language Learners, 9% Special Education students and 100% college bound. We are an innovation school, with extended day and extended year. My school is a really incredible place. School enrollment has grown over time, (and is now at full capacity), due to consistent improvement in school quality and we are now nearing almost 750 students. My students are the best students in the world. I know what you are thinking, \"Sure, sure, every teacher thinks that their students are the best.\" That may be true, but the students at our school really are the best. The way our students choose to use technology, treat each other with kindness and inclusion, advocate for equity, critically solve real world mathematical issues- everyday I wake up and think, \"I'm the luckiest teacher in the world!\"

It is proven that students learn best through exploratory learning and collaboration. Traditional desk facing the teacher are now obsolete. I, the teacher, don't want to be the one standing at the front talking, I want my students talking. I want them to use their accountable talking skills to collaborate and learn! Students need to be able to use their technology at their desk and collaborate to solve real world complex problems. We need 21st century style desks and seating to strive towards collaborative learning. My students are the future of this country. I want their learning environment to promote collaboration.

New Technology for New Kinders
|
I have just started another fabulous school year at my school. At our school we are Title I and our entire system has free and reduced lunch. \r\n\r\nThe kids that I have are AMAZING! I have 20 eager 5 year olds in my class and they are ready for anything. I can tell they are just ready to blossom, and we just need the tools to do so! I have a lot of confidence in these children and plan to give them the knowledge and tools to take on the future and make our world a better place!

I am hoping to get the mini iPad, headphones, and styluses to help my students engage in the current technology in my classroom, and hopefully with new technology. I have been lucky enough to have several generous people to donate old iPhones to me to use in the classroom! Due to this I need more headphones and styluses. \r\n\r\nI am currently getting my Masters in Instructional Technology, and from that I have learned that many of my students can use technology and I hope to advance their technology knowledge in the 21st Century environment. Currently my school has a catalog that we can download apps from to use on the school provided iPads. This is great, but I am also not able to download many of the applications I have personally bought. Since the donation of phones I am able to use the applications I have bought. However, I have also bought Apple TV for my classroom and my personal iPad and the other iPads will not connect due to them being out of date. I plan on using the iPad mini to allow students to create projects and then be able to show the class their creation!\r\n\r\n

Coding in the Media Center
|
Our Media Center has changed to not only inspire readers, but makers, inventors, problem solvers, builders, and so much more! This environment calls for tools to help with these concepts. We want our students to be not only learning but actively engaged in the learning process.\r\n\r\nWe believe that every student who walks through our doors should be given every opportunity to learn and grow.\r\nThese tools will help students with concepts they need to learn in the classroom and also help students with interest-based learning opportunities.
|
These tools will be great resources for students to use in the Makerspace during media classes, small group times, and when teachers sign up to use the space. The materials will also be able to be checked out by teachers for classroom use. We also plan on having a Tinker Table set up in the media center that will rotate different Makerspace items every few weeks. \r\n\r\nThese tools will help our students with mathematics, coding and also problem solving skills. Not all of our students have these tools at home but they are such an amazing tools. They will also be used in our Genius Hour stations

How Much Wood Could a Woodchuck Chuck ....????
|
Our school is ranked as a high poverty school with 99% of our students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. I teach what is called a Self Contained Cross Categorical Academic class of typically about 15 students, Kindergarten to third grade. The disabilities in my classroom range in severity. As you can imagine, trying to teach multiple grade levels at once can be challenging but somehow with our organized chaos, my educational aide and I make it happen. Each and every one of my students is making progress to meet their annual goals. Teaching at my school has been a blessing because I know that, even on the hardest days, I have little ones who come to school and love the consistency and love what they get at school. Not only do I teach my students academics, but I try to push them to do their absolute best and show them that even though they may have a disability, they can do anything if they set their mind to it.
|
My project is very simple. My students are in need of quality pencils and erasers so that they can complete assignments throughout their academic day. Pencils and erasers are an essential classroom supply and we often run short on them. Cheap pencils break very often which result in my students going to the pencil sharpener many times throughout the day disturbing the class and losing out on learning time, the pencils I chose are quality pencils which hold up to the students put them under while writing. I also am requesting erasers because it appears erasers are used up even quicker than our pencils. Getting this project funded would mean that we would have enough quality pencils to last us for the rest of the year. Please consider supporting my classroom.

Sing Me a Story!
|
Every child can benefit from music and language - so can their families!\r\n\r\nMy students love music! Students in grades kindergarten through sixth look forward to getting together every week and expressing their creativity through active learning. \"Empowering Students Through Music” leaves them with smiles on their faces each time we meet. My students live in a rural agricultural community. Most of the students receive free or reduced price lunch. Many of them are English learners, and I also have students with special needs who are mainstreamed into the classroom during music time. My students come from diverse backgrounds and speak several languages. Music is a universal language that we all have in common and can share with one another.
|
I am requesting books for our elementary music classroom. We will sing songs and rhymes as part of the language experience. Students will have the opportunity to read and hear sounds, rhythms, patterns, and create onomatopoeia. Once we have used a book for a lesson, students will have the opportunity to check out the same book title to share with their families at home.\r\n\r\nMusic and literature are the perfect pairing for language development. My students need to have many opportunities to read, listen, and speak since most of them are English Language Learners. The songs, rhymes, patterns and rhythms presented by stories give them exposure to the English language in a way that they can internalize and share. Students can take their experiences from class and engage their families through reading as well as song, thus enhancing language development, working the brain, and providing quality sharing time.\r\n\r\nMany of the stories lead to creative word play and independent thinking. Students will be able to interpret and share their ideas through engagement of word and song. The can also share their knowledge of note reading, rhythms, symbols, and composers. Knowledge of something new empowers young minds and books can be a starting point for them to share the things they have learned. By having a book in hand, students can initiate a connection with someone at home. Let the music begin!

We are a newly reopened school in Kansas City Public Schools with an inquisitive group of fourth grade students. We are a neighborhood school serving a diverse population of learners. My students are eager to create and be involved in projects. We love learning…reading, writing, science and math. However, my students absolutely love math. Math excites our curiosity and minds. We are eager to explore, learn, and grow in math. \r\nHands-on activities make learning engaging and fun. We really appreciate hands-on materials.
|
My students need a hands-on way to explore fractions and decimals. They need an engaging way to compare, order, and to add and subtract fractions. Fraction tiles make learning fun and engaging. Having tiles to manipulate makes learning concepts fun and exciting. Using tiles to connect fractions and decimals help so much. Using tiles helps to develop skills in reading, writing and comparing decimals and fractions. \r\n\r\nHands-on activities help to not only create an excitement to learn, it is also fun! Students are learning while having fun manipulating these tiles and circles. Learning fractions and decimals can truly be fun and engaging. \r\n

My classroom is filled with lively, exuberant kindergarteners who will be with me through the end of first grade. We live in a rural town in Oklahoma with many students coming from different family dynamics. \r\nWe are excited to come to school each day and learn new things. We try to incorporate many methods and techniques into our daily schedules to keep the students interested, involved and progressing. They especially enjoy our literacy and math apps I've loaded on the iPad.\r\n\r\n

We are blessed to have several iPads in our classroom. This charging station would help us keep our iPads safe, organized and charged in between uses.\r\n\r\n Our goal is to use our iPads daily during literacy and math small groups and centers to reinforce skills learned in the classroom. We are also able to use our iPads for Accelerated Reader quizzes, star math tests and star reading tests. \r\nThe iPads are a key factor in our daily routine and this charging center would help to insure the safe keeping of them as well as making sure they are always charged.

Autism and iPads: A Room Full of Unique Learners
|
Each student in my classroom is very special. Each one of them falls somewhere on the Autism Spectrum. My classroom is full of students with different but very exciting personalities. Many of my students are nonverbal, but use signs to display their basic needs. Some students speak with very few words when prompted, and others can communicate without any issues. They love to earn Candy Corn and Doritos when they do great work. They also love going to computer class, music, and playing outside. My students echo words that they hear, which makes for some interesting conversations! I also have a student who can recite every word to the Simpsons and Toy Story. Each one of them has a special gift that makes them a unique piece to our classroom puzzle. \r\n\r\nAll 8 of my students are the light of my life. Their smiles, funny sayings, and constant growth makes me proud to be their teacher. They are an amazing group of children who just happen to learn and communicate a little differently.

My students will benefit from this iPad in an array of ways. Each one of my students learns differently. Some students are better auditory learners, some are visual, others are kinesthetic learners. This iPad will allow students to learn in their own ways. Different Apps can be downloaded to cater to each individual students learning needs. \r\n\r\nMy students are infatuated with technology! The activities that they can do on the iPad make learning enjoyable for each of them. Unfortunately, not all of my students can use one iPad daily. Their faces light up when it is their turn, and I would love to see those happy faces everyday!

Supplying Students With Success
|
This classroom is full of love, support, and respect for each other. Because the majority of the students I teach don't receive that outside of the classroom, we make it a priority to love on each other, lift each other up, and show each other respect. I teach 5th grade Special Education. The majority of the students come from a low socioeconomic background with little to no support at home. These students come from a very wide range of home structures: single parent, multiple-family, foster families, and some live with other family members.\r\nI make it my mission everyday to give these students the very best opportunity for success and to give them the confidence they need to take on the day's challenges. My students have learning and/or emotional disabilities and some have multiple diagnoses. Even though they do struggle with social skills and academics, they all work very hard and are showing so much growth from year to year.
|
My students will use the box of pencils everyday to complete assignments and weekly tests and quizzes. Most of my students come from low income homes and do not have all of the school supplies needed to successfully complete their school work. The laminating sheets and card stock will be used to print out and laminate task cards for practice on IEP goals and other skills. The task cards are used in small group rotation where students work together to practice on different skills. The printer ink will be used to print task cards, worksheets, and IEP paperwork. Because my students are Special Education students, there is a lot of paperwork that has to be printed to monitor progress on goals. \r\nAll of the supplies will benefit my students greatly in so many ways. We will have all of the supplies needed to function successfully in the classroom. All of the supplies will make learning easier and more convenient for my students who struggle intellectually.

Flipped Seats Classroom Adventures
|
Have you ever walked the footsteps of a child who recently arrived to the United States? Have you ever wondered what it is like having to process new information such as culture and language? How long does it take to assimilate to a new environment? When does one really feel at \"home\"? \r\n\r\nOn a daily basis my school district opens its doors to dozens of students from many parts of the world. These children are highly motivated and ambitious to learn while slowly acculturating to a new world. They enrich our curriculum and community with language and culture. They are the future!\r\n\r\nOur motto? Two voices, one world! ¡Dos voces, un mundo! \r\n\r\nMy students participate in a dual language program, which allows them to maintain their native language while acquiring proficiency in a new target language. They are a diverse population in terms of gender, race, culture, religion, and socioeconomic status. Majority of the students come from families that fall below the poverty level and receive free or reduced lunch.
|
The classroom sofa will form the focus center of the newly added classroom nook. I have noticed that when students have free choice to sit in an inspirational area, they learn how to enjoy reading. For this reason, I am focusing on creating a warm \"home\" type of environment where the students have free seating choice as they independently and/or buddy read. I have personally purchased many items to make the nook area warm and cozy and this sofa would be the icing on the cake. We just need your help in completing our blue nook theme!\r\n\r\nBy implementing the Reading & Writing Workshop model, my students will begin to see themselves as true authors and illustrators. All students will benefit in this learning area, which will aide us in the process of becoming life-long readers and writers. Despite having purchased large pillows and small carpets, I truly need your support to make this dream a reality. \r\n\r\nThe donations to this project will help to improve my students' understanding of and competency in authentic, meaningful reading, writing, and collaboration. Hopefully, this sofa will become more than a cozy area to read and write, but it will form new friendships with my view of calling it the \"Buddy Sofa\".\r\n

I believe I have been blessed with the best scholars since I've started teaching. This will be my 6th year of teaching Bilingual Pre-K half day and 1st grade math at a Title 1 school and I wouldn't change it for the world. I have developed great relationships with my scholars and their families. Thanks to my different position, I have the privilege of teaching my students twice. I get to experience their first day of school in Pre-k and I also get to see their growth in 1st grade. Having them twice lets me stay connected to their families, who are very supportive. Thanks to that support, we have built a community of learners in our scholars.

Our classroom is very different from most classrooms. In the morning, our classroom is full of eager 1st graders. In the afternoon, our classroom is full of prek scholars. Having two different grade levels in one classroom can get tricky. We would use these supplies to get organized in our classroom. The book bins would be for our classroom library for all scholars. The pockets would be used by first graders to house their daily math supplies. We learn through guided math and stations. Students rotate through math stations daily in our classroom. While transitioning, they have to be responsible for their math folder and their pencil boxes. For now, they put their supplies under their chairs. Their folders usually get damaged and the families are usually not economically able to buy more.

Learning Digital Literacy Through Coding and Programming!
|
As a teacher in a low income, poverty stricken neighborhood my students face many challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the odds against them, my students are motivated individuals with a passion for learning. Simply put, they just want to learn. As a passionate teacher it is my top priority to see that they have access to educational resources, technology, and books! I want my students to know that they have people on their side that care about their education.
|
My 5th grade are great with video and computer games but it is one thing to know how to use these technologies. It’s another, however, to understand the logic behind them. When learning to program, kids understand the digital world they inhabit. Coding is the “magic” of technology so they can truly understand the logic and science that controls this technology. \r\nProgramming gives children the ability to create technologies that impact those around them. These Dash and Dot robots will enable my students to learn how to code and when kids learn to code, it will empower them to learn many other things and will open up many new opportunities for learning, the world is now in their hands. I saw a TED talk about coding and Scientist Mitch Resnick uses this beautiful analogy about coding, \"It's useful to make an analogy to reading and writing, when you learn to read and write it opens up opportunities for you to learn so many other things, when you learn to read you can then read to learn, which is the same thing with coding, if you learn to code you can code to learn.\" \r\nI want to provide my students with these Dash and Dot robots so they can keep up with the demands of the 21st century by learning this digital literacy.

My students need to develop their programming and coding skills to be successful in digital literacy for the 21st century.

I teach in a very urban community and our school is located in the heart of Erie. My students live in this community that is full of violence and poverty. The familes that attend my school are very low income. My students are provided breakfast, lunch and sometimes even dinner. Most can't afford school clothes or even winter jackets. Teachers and the community donate as much as they can for our students but we still need more help. We want to show our students they matter!

My students show up the first the first day of school with just themselves. They do not have book bags or any supplies for the year. It is always my duty to provide everything the students will need during the school year. They need these supplies just to get through a day at school. Without them the students will suffer. They not only get excited to use these new supplies because they aren't use to having brand new things but they are happy to share. I want to make sure my students have enough supplies to call their very own and they can use on a daily basis.

Students come to our school from diverse backgrounds. Their families share one commonality- they seek individualized learning. Classroom teachers collaborate with families to create an independent study plan for students to learn math, language arts, and various electives as homeschool subjects. Many learning pathways exist. Learning goals include remediation to gifted acceleration. Our students are valued, supported as individuals, and are great achievers! \r\n\r\nClassroom teachers see students in a traditional model twice a week to cover science, history, art, and music. Students take part in community building activities and hands on projects. Bringing together mixed abilities and ages provides a platform for valuable learning opportunities and collaboration. These students love to learn, and each classroom day is very special!

Donations to this project will make a difference in my students' learning. Having the multimedia paper portfolios will be the starting point of the project. Students will have the paper they need to participate in a range of art lessons. Keeping each completed lesson in the portfolio is the key part of this project. Our class will be focusing on growth mindset- learning that each lesson might not be easy, but that striving for the goal with be worth it! \r\n\r\nWith these portfolios, students will look back at their work and reflect on how they developed through dedication and hard work. This message will subsequently resonate in all subjects and help build self confidence!

Getting Our Dancing Groove
|
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.\r\n\r\nMy students are phenomenal and already are learning so quickly! Small things make them happy, whether it's earning \"Minion Money,\" being able to teach each other something new, or enjoying and learning in our guided reading centers.
|
I used to do competitive dancing and I want to bring it to my students. I want to get students involved in a dancing competition and maybe even merge with our cheerleaders. Since we are a brand new school this year we started cheerleading, and preparing for the next set of sports next year.\r\nTo give students a good start this year we can get in shape and learn different moves from different genres of music. It would be amazing to get my students in shape and learning different moves from various different videos and me on the side. Most of my students are only familiar with \"pop\" music. The best way to create new dance moves is to learn different styles. Through the zumba and dance dvds they will be exposed to many. To dance along with the videos we will need a dvd player and adapters to make it work. \r\nBefore and after it is vital that my students stretch out their muscles. Instead of sitting on the floor using Yoga mats would help get a full stretch.

Let the Beat Go On!
|
I have the most enthusiastic, eager to learn, band students. This group of kids work hard to play their instruments correctly and appreciate the instruments they have by treating them with respect. \r\nOur students are involved in music, band, choir, and art, and our student schedules allow students to participate in multiple electives. Over 170 students play within the Beginning , Intermediate, Advanced, and Jazz Bands. Many go the extra mile to practice before and after school too! These are the kind of students who'd gladly give up their Saturday to spend in the band room if I let them.
|
Our current sticks and mallets are held together with tape. We've so many students who play on our percussion instruments that the mallets and sticks aren't surviving. New sticks and mallets would be used by the percussion students in 5th-8th grade band. Extra sticks and mallets would ensure that all students get a chance to play in our songs! The entire band would benefit because idle and unhappy percussionists can be rough! \r\n\r\nEver been near an unhappy percussionist? Trust me, it's not pretty!\r\n\r\nNew Mallets and Sticks would be a benefit to the entire band for class time use, assemblies, and concerts. Most importantly, our percussion students would develop as a section and as individuals as they work towards perfecting their craft. \r\n

Coming Together to Make Treble
|
My students are getting a music classroom! For two years they have had music class in their classrooms, but now they will have a dedicated music room. I would like the new room to be an inviting space for students to learn, play, and make music together. \r\n\r\nIt is so incredible to create harmony, both musical and social, through powerful learning experiences. My students are always enthusiastic about music, no matter the location. Their joy is evident as they sing, dance, and play instruments together. \r\n\r\nMusic is such an integral part of childhood. Creating music together is an incredible bonding experience. It has helped my students connect and grow together amidst great turmoil in the Ferguson-Florissant community. \r\n\r\n
|
The new music room is too small for desks, chairs, or tables. It has basic beige walls and tile. However, with your help, my students will have a colorful, comfortable place to gather together. The rug will create a perfect space for social and musical harmony.\r\n\r\nWhen my students work together to create something beautiful and exciting, they feel connected to each other and proud of our school. As they make music, their growing brains are stimulated in new ways. Having an inviting, comfortable rug will make the new music room an even more magical and inviting place to learn, grow, and create together. \r\n\r\nThe rug I am requesting is designed for comfort, fun, and learning. It includes music symbols and a treble clef staff designed especially for interactive learning games. The requested beanbags will be part of the fun as students toss the beanbags and jump to the designated note or symbol they are learning. As students learn note names and symbols to be able to read music for bells, recorder, etc., they will be gathered together and having fun!\r\n\r\nThank you for helping my students feel the power of coming together to make music. Your donation will help each and every Combs student from grades K-6. “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” - Helen Keller\r\n \r\n\r\n

Headphones for Testing Success
|
We are a Title 1 school and our students come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and economic status'. Our students face many challenges both in and out of the classroom. Each student comes to school excited to learn and brings their own strengths and weaknesses to the classroom. \r\nAs we meet together each day we focus on being great learners and positive, energetic leaders. Students are eager to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.
|
The use of headphones is a daily practice in our computer labs. Students need to listen and interact with programs created to enhance reading and math skills. With state tests and common core having so much technology based learning, headphones are a must.\r\n\r\nHaving good working equipment aids in student success. If the materials and technology are not functioning in a way that students can comfortably participate in required programs their frustration levels may rise and their performance may go down. Receiving new headphones will help to replace problem headphones from the past and alleviate future frustration of some 500 students who could potentially use them in a weeks time.
| null | null |
My students need headphones for many of the computer programs we use. They are also necessary for the State mandated testing we must do at the end of each school year.

Hot Dot Pens to Complete our FUN Reading Library!
|
My students are incredibly diverse. They come to my school with a variety of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. We constantly strive to honor and incorporate those backgrounds into the learning process. \r\n\r\nMy students are so fun and creative! They love anything hands on and that requires them to think outside the box. As they acclimate to the newfound freedom and responsibility of middle school, I also try to focus on boosting their confidence and giving them tasks that appeal to their learning styles so that they can be successful.
|
These pens will help enhance the fun that can come from using the Hot Dot cards I requested in my previous project. \r\n\r\nStudents need to see reading as fun and interactive. In my previous post, I requested kits that would allow students the opportunity to interact with Hot Dot cards that would teach them reading comprehension in a new way. \r\n\r\nThis project would give every child in my class a pen to use so that they could work independently and at their own pace on these card sets. This would allow me to reach more students with the materials given.
| null | null |
My students need these pens to use along side the Hot Dot cards that I requested for my other project. These will help to fully immerse the students in the fun!

Hydrate Our Body, Fuel Our Mind
|
This Elementary School is a special school filled with special people. From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted by friendly adults and amazed by the respectful children walking through the halls. \r\nWe \"Lead, Learn, and Love\" in this school. The school culture is warm, positive, and one that promotes learning and leadership among the students. Every person is accepted as a unique individual and equipped with skills to become successful both academically and in their daily lives.\r\n\r\n
|
Hydrate Our Body and Fuel Our Mind is a project that is going to help our students at RBE work to their best ability. Our student body needs clean and ample water to make it through school everyday. Dehydration can cause fatigue of the body and mind. Therefore, staying hydrated can help students stay active and alert during the day.\r\n\r\nStaying hydrated helps students brains work at optimum levels. Our students here at RBE work on leadership skills to help with taking charge in learning. Without water students may not give their best work or perform at their highest ability. We encourage them to stay active and healthy during the day. For these reasons students need water to become the best leader and learner they can be.

Standing Up to Learn
|
All students require movement for effective learning. Standing desks would be helpful for the students because then they would be able to move more and take turns releasing that energy while also activating their brain for optimal learning.
|
I have eight special education students that require the use of many different teaching strategies and tools to make learning effective. One tool that has been the most helpful is the use of physical activity or brain breaks in the middle of our lessons to regain the focus of the students when they have the urge to be active. Our school is diverse with many different types of families and needs. I like to incorporate different types of technology into my lessons to make my teaching more interactive and engaging for the students. The students are always more interested when computers, video clips, or games are involved.
|
My students would use the standing desk during lessons in the classroom. I would have the students rotate to take turns and share the desk. When I notice that the students are getting frustrated or unable to sit still, I will have them go to the desk to stand and complete their work. Using this desk will allow my students to be able to complete their work more effectively and be able to retain more information about the content because they are actively learning.
|
Standing desks in the classroom have many benefits. It will help promote a less stressful room, increase the time that students are up and moving during a day, increase the amount of exercise a student receives, and promote brain growth. Students will enrich their learning by self-regulating their needs during a lesson. The students will become more attentive, engaged, creative, and receptive to learning concepts while also developing a healthier lifestyle.

My students need a standing desk in our classroom to help them become more active, improve their focus, and engagement while learning.

Double down for Digital learning
|
\"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!\"\r\n~Dr. Seuss\r\n\r\nMy students are some of the most hardworking students I've ever had the pleasure of teaching. They are a true embodiment of why I began teaching. They come from all walks of life, every demographic, and various cultural backgrounds. Approximately 60% of the students at our school receive free or reduced-price lunch, and there is a high number of military families. Despite all of their differences, they work together toward one common goal: to fulfill their desire to learn and experience new things. Even if it's something completely new to them, I love that they are so willing to try anything. Their thirst for knowledge at times is unquenchable, and they make coming to work each day a joy. \r\n
|
In an effort to enhance my students digital learning, we are asking for two tablets which my students will use to complete assignments collaboratively. The technology we have is very outdated and my class will benefit greatly from these devices. The compact nature of these tables will allow my students better access to them and encourage student sharing. With all of the amazing apps and abilities these tablets have to offer, student learning will be greatly expanded. This project will also give my students the opportunity to use new technology that will make them college and career ready for the future.

I teach a great group of students in a low socioeconomic area. We are a Title 1 school. I want to help my students to succeed academically and physically, inside and outside of the classroom. Most of my students were impacted recently by the Great Flood of 2016 in South Louisiana. Even though our school was spared from flood waters, much of our PE equipment and materials were damaged while our gym was being used as a shelter.\r\nMy students are ready to learn and get active!\r\nI want my students to feel some sense of normalcy. They are very eager to learn and have fun while doing it.\r\n

I am requesting funding for board games and an Xbox One with games that will keep students physically engaged. My students will use these games to integrate Math and Language skills during P.E. while learning in cooperative groups. We will have fun on Fridays by dancing our way into the weekend with a new Xbox One.\r\nThis project will help my students bridge the gap in Math during PE and keep them moving on Fridays.\r\nMy students love to learn and to be physically active. These materials will help my students achieve the goals set in the Louisiana Standards for Physical Education. Please help our school get the resources we need to make our amazing students successful!

My students are amazing. They come from a variety of different backgrounds and are an enthusiastic group of young people that need to be actively engaged with hands-on materials. \r\n\r\nMy students are developing a love of learning through exploration, discovery, creation, and problem-solving. We are a couple of miles away from a fully funded STEM school and lack the funds and resources to provide similar learning experiences for our students.\r\n\r\nI would love for my students to have more STEM based, hands-on, higher-level thinking opportunities. They're excited about new experiences and this would help spark their passion for learning.\r\n\r\n\r\n

These materials will provide many new learning opportunities for my students. Students will collaborate and problem solve in small groups in our new STEM Lab. They will utilize the Engineering Design Process where they will ask questions, imagine, create, and build motorized objects. Students will then experiment and refine to improve upon their creations. Programming of the Spheros will spark excitement and help create innovative experiences to help prepare students for the future. Students will work in small groups where they will work together in teams, think critically, and come up with many, varied solutions and outcomes to solve problems and increase their learning.

Mini iPad's Enhancing Customized Learning Experiences
|
Curious and motivated, the (2) classes of half day kindergarten learners in my classroom, embark in a foundation to a life of learning. Each and every day, students are exposed to an array of skills that are both personalized and fundamental to their learning path. \r\n\r\nThe learners are exposed daily to social, listening, reading, word, math, and writing skills. They are also weekly exposed to skills in physical education, library, STEM learning, technology, and social studies. Facilitated by the classroom teacher, learners make daily choices in order to challenge their minds and explore all areas of learning. \r\n
|
The Mini iPads will be used to enhance the current curriculum and to personalize the learning of each student. Apps will be available for students to learn, practice, and individualize learning skills. Learners will use the SeeSaw app in particular to share their learning with their families and friends. Students will also be able to engage in flipped lessons in which the teacher has pre-recorded and/or planned various learning activities that the students can work on independently. \r\n\r\nThis project will enhance the learning experience of all of my kindergarten students and promote a passion for a life of learning. Aligned with STEM exploratory resources (such as engineering building activities and coding/programming with Wonder Workshop's Dash Robot), the iPad's will help create a personalized learning environment. \r\n

My students come from the Crestwood area and Gate City, which is a predominately low-economic area. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school, because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.\r\n\r\nI teach at a Title I school in Birmingham, AL where 100 percent of students receive free breakfast and lunch. \r\n\r\nMore than half of my students receive backpack food for the weekends. My students are leaders!

My students learn the best by moving around the classroom. The wobble chairs and stools will make for great tools to use during small group and writing workshop. The foam carpet will give my students more room to do math centers in the classroom. The storage drawers will help create more independence for my students in their centers. \r\n\r\nMy students will be more focused and engaged with more flexible seating available in the classroom. \r\n\r\nThe students will be able to have more options in the classroom to meet their individual needs.

My special needs students come from low-income families in Wisconsin. They are extremely creative, energetic, and fun! We have a busy science classroom full of activity. Our school is an urban high school with 90% of students on free or reduced price lunch. Although we receive some resources, our classroom spending budget is limited and the teachers usually have to pay for most supplies/equipment. My classroom is home to 30 amazing students with special needs. My classroom is a multi-leveled, multi-tiered learning environment. My students are inquisitive and engaged learners who arrive at school daily ready to take on the day’s challenges. Staff and students alike are respectful and there is a safe and supportive learning community. \r\n\r\n

I work with students with Cognitive Disabilities in a rural setting. Most of the students have only had the opportunity to sit in conventional classroom chairs. Most of our students come from low income families in an Urban setting. \r\nSitting on bean bag chairs has been proven to make the classroom environment more comfortable, and more conducive to student learning. Bean bag chairs can also be a way of rewarding students who complete there work, or exhibit good behavior on a daily basis. \r\nBean bag chairs can also help students with physical disabilities focus on the lessons being taught during class.

Captivating Community Center
|
My students learn best when doing hands-on work. They come from different socio-economic backgrounds and light up my day with their laughter and stories. We learn from each other, and I know doing centers-based learning is the best way for them to succeed as 21st century learners.\r\n\r\nI have taught a wide range of students with differing skills and personalities. Each student walks into our classroom with different needs and wants. Working as a classroom community, we develop skills that will help foster their growth as global citizens. We learn best with tactile activities and discussion based lessons. Our school caters to a low-income, rural area. The population of the town is small; however their heart is big as a community. They have stepped up together to work as a team, which models to the students what is needed for a healthy community. I have taught a diverse group of students, each student teaching me something different. I enjoy immensely the discussions we have together and the learning that takes place in our classroom.

The students would benefit greatly from having this easel in our community area of the room. It will be used daily in mini-lessons for all subjects and give students another perspective to learn in our classroom. The easel would have a white board that can be utilize and storage underneath to store manipulative and materials needed for the lessons. This easel could be used in multiple ways, including creating anchor charts as a class. \r\n\r\nI noticed when we meet at carpet with clipboards, the students are more engaged and less antsy than when sitting at their desks. The easel would give the students a focal point as they learn. They feel that the are in charge of their education and are more willing to participate. Using the seat cushions would enable our classroom to become more of a kid-focused learning environment. Students will see the process visually as they learn and find connections within themselves to help better connect to the lesson.

Crazy for Chromebooks (Part II)
|
Technology is everywhere, but our school has little to offer students. In this technology-era, teachers must rise to meet the technology to provide the most benefit to our students. With the lack of technology in our school, this is a difficult task.\r\nOur school is in a small, rural Illinois community, and our building is home to students in third through fifth grade.\r\nThis excited group of learners brings with them a wide range of learning abilities and styles. With such an array, we rely heavily on diverse technology to meet all their unique learning needs.\r\n
|
Students in elementary grades love learning and are extra engaged when technology is being used. However, our school technology is low on offerings. For this project, I am seeking new Chromebooks with management licenses to equip our multi-media lab for students. These devices will allow us to use the lab space most effectively and create a learning culture around any technology tools we use. Please help us increase our learning and our use of technology!\r\n\r\nInspiring young learners is my passion! This project will help me reach young learners in our technology-filled world. Your donation will help students increase their learning but should also boost their confidence and knowledge of technology. Please help me expand our school's use of technology so that our students can keep up with the rest of the world.

Technology to Help Us Read
|
I teach students with emotional and behavior disabilities. They are also from a low-income area. The school I teach at is 100% free lunch thanks to a grant they received. I have students that when we have cereal for breakfast I see them sneak it in their book sacks because they have a little brother or sister at home that likes that kind. This type of student can be a blessing to teach but also a struggle at times. Most of my class stays with me except for P.E and lunch. My students have many things going against them, but they get encouragement from my para professionals and myself. They know we are there for them through thick or thin. No matter what is going on in their home life most come to school ready to learn.

Our class needs an auto feed scanner so that I (the teacher) can utilize a program called Kurzweil. This program will read the materials that I place in it to the students. My students are in the 6th through 8th grade, but unfortunately, they read on a second-grade level. These students are in a special education emotional and behavioral class. I have materials that I would LOVE to use to help them but it must be scanned and placed in Kurzweil and at this moment we don't have access to a scanner. \r\nKurzweil has been proven to help students in the classroom, by helping students with their accommodations, such as test read aloud. When a teacher reads aloud to a classroom then she is not covering all the students. We have students that are very slow and others that want to go on after the first time it is read to them. Having a scanner will help the teacher and students use the accommodations correctly once the materials are placed in Kurzweil. This will allow students to play the materials as many times as needed to understand.

My students need a scanner so that I can have scan information they need on a program called Kurzweil. Kurzweil will read outloud the documents scanned.

Take Me On A Math and Literacy Magic Carpet Ride
|
My students are special because they are a part of a kindergarten/first grade combination class with students with special needs as well. This is a very diverse class with students on many different academic levels. Many of these students are non verbal and/or receive speech and occupational therapy. All of them need extra support in the classroom in order to help them with daily functional tasks and/ or with their academics. The school is a high poverty high needs elementary school. Most of the students receive free or reduced lunch.

A new classroom rug will help my students feel comfortable and focused during morning meeting and whole group lessons. The number rug will also help all of the students count to twenty and identify numbers 1-20. The literacy center chart will help with guided reading and literacy small groups. It will also help with differentiation in the classroom.\r\n The math puzzles, games, and manipulatives will be great to use when differentiating the math lessons. These supplies will help all students learn the common core standards while having fun and staying engaged. The math supplies will work well in small groups, with partners, and students working independently. \r\n The literacy sight word games, magnetic letters, and dry erase boards will help with phonemic awareness and reading fluency. These will be great to use during literacy small groups and independent work time. These supplies will help with students learning how to read and moving up reading levels. \r\n

\"Tech Savvy Students!\"
|
My students are incredible and one of a kind!! Our school sits in an urban neighborhood. In fact, many of my students live in the neighborhood around the school, as do I! Many of them also are being raised by single parents and/or grandparents. My students are hungry for learning each and every day! They love to learn in a myriad of ways! One way is through technology. This is probably one of the most popular ways they like to learn in the classroom!
|
My students love technology and learning. When they get at chance to use our classroom I Pads or computers, they are eager; it is quite difficult to service all of the students as far a technology is concerned in the classroom, because we are currently not a one to one school where each student has access to their very own piece of technology daily. \r\n\r\nI am working to change this, applying for one Chromebook at a time, until we can reach enough technology students can use each day. We currently have 7 I pads and five desktops computers totaling 12 pieces of technology. We need 20 more pieces of technology to service all of the students in our classroom, but we are taking it one step at a time!\r\n\r\nTechnology in our classroom is used in a myriad of ways. In writing, students love typing up stories of any kind. The technology would be used to type up final copies of all of the writing we do in the classroom. The extra technology would also be used to improve typing skills. The students can also use Power Point, Word processing, among other tools to enhance the projects pertaining to their learning. \r\n\r\nDuring reading, students will be able to explore reading websites that improve their fluency, accuracy, and word recognition. Some of the websites they use include, but are not limited to Storylineonline.net, Bookflix, Trueflix, Khan Academy, and Freerice.com. \r\n\r\nDuring math students use websites such as Cool Math, Khan Academy, and Freerice.com. These websites help students with their math facts and improve their fact fluency. They also tutor students through math concepts they need review or obtain new learning.

Little Rockets Need to get to the Stars!✨
|
The children I serve are precocious, full of vitality, and are filled with a genuine curiosity and hunger for learning. Unfortunately, these children come from urban, underprivileged, low income, single parent homes. The children are constantly barraged with excessive gang shooting and violence walking to and from school. School closings have put unnecessary stress and strain on parents and children. This has become \"the new norm\" for Black children in Chicago. Despite the many obstacles placed in their paths, I am devoted to providing top quality, creative, and engaging learning experiences for these children and their families. The children in my room love to read, dance, and create. The current foundation that I am laying for these children in imperative because they are the leaders of the future and the holders of our next generations.
|
Your altruistic donation will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus while on task, you will ultimately be contributing to the overall academic growth of the child. Reading practice and playing literacy games will vastly grow the children's vocabularies as well as assist with attainment of growth targets set forth in the beginning of the year. Access to iPads in my school are scarce, and they sometimes never make it to the Kindergarten room. These iPads will give the children in my room the extra push to give their best because they will know someone cared about their futures enough to help them when they have never layed eyes on them. I am also hoping that this will foster a more \"Concious\" and giving classroom community.

Chromebook for Kinders!
|
In our classroom, the children rise to the challenge of meeting and exceeding the rigorous demands of the curriculum. Each day the students strive to become fluent readers, capable writers, and develop a Math sense that provides understanding. Learning is fun, and smiles are abundant in our class!\r\n\r\nSince our school is Title 1, our goal for each student is for them to become successful in school and life.\r\nA strong foundation will provide the stepping stone they need to excel and have opportunities to succeed. Most of my students live in financially assisted housing and receive free lunch. Although they are poor financially, they are rich in heart! The entire school strives to nurture the students with love and knowledge. High expectations are producing results. Students in our school know that education is the key to becoming productive members of society.
|
A 2 - in - 1 Chromebook is a much needed technology component needed in our classroom! Many of the students in my classroom have not had access to educational technology. Taking Virtual field trips, Reading and Math support, Coding, and STEAM activities are just a few ways to enhance learning with the Chromebook. The Chromebook will provide enhanced student interest, cooperative learning, active engagement, and positive rewards for all learners.\r\nThe learning possibilities are endless with your generous donation to our classroom. Thank you so much for supporting the students, and helping to prepare them with proper educational tools!

Visualize and Organize

Full-time in a self-contained classroom I currently have students with disabilities(Autism Spectrum Disorder, Other Health Impairments, Down Syndrom and Intellectual Disability) who are gently shaking the world in a very positive way. They come to school eager to learn new and amazing lessons every day. Consistently following their schedules and trying to make a realistic connection with every lesson and task. \r\n Sydney J Harris once stated that\"The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.\" My students have shown me that their windows are open, and they ready to receive everything that school has to offer.
|
This project will address the learning styles( Visual, Kinesthetic/Written, and Auditory) of each student and increase the academic connection of the lesson with the possibility of cross curriculum relations. Providing the students with easels and markers to see the academic connections and binders to organize all of the papers is the beginning of some valuable life skills. Moreover, the folders will be used to track their IEP goals to ensure they are progressing accordingly. \r\n\r\n\" Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time\" Rabindranath Tagore words ring true, and these materials will assist with making sure that each child is learning at their level and pace.

Moving in the Classroom

I teach fourth grade at a low income elementary school. My class is composed of 22 students with varying backgrounds. They represent many different countries and languages. My students are eager to learn and excited for opportunities. \r\n\r\nEvery morning, they enter the classroom smiling and excited to see what they will learn today. They are extremely motivated by hands-on experiences and engaging activities. They strive to be successful and work hard to accomplish more knowledge.\r\n\r\nTechnology is an intricate part of learning in today's society. It is imperative that students are given opportunities to go beyond their textbook curriculum. We use many different websites to prepare students and enhance their learning.
|
Students need to be given incentives to help motivate their learning. In this technological era students love playing video games. It would be a wonderful incentive to help students move throughout the day. \r\n\"Instead of having physical activity as a break from learning, the Kinect will help brain based learning with learning content!\" Allowing students to take part in an active classroom with help them meet success! \r\nStudents love playing video games. To be able to allow them an opportunity to play video games in the classroom, will help students learn a love for coding. A video game system can open a doorway to connect a students desire to create games!

My new fifth-grade students are starting the year at the top of the school. They're excited and ready to show off what they have learned in their previous elementary years, and I can't wait to help the hone their writing skills to perfection.\r\n The students at my campus are all unique in many ways, and each young mind brings something special to my classroom. In my English Language Arts and Social Studies classes, we do a lot of collaborative learning, so that each child's qualities can impact his or her peers in the most meaningful ways.\r\n As a writing teacher, I am eager to discover the talents of my incoming pupils, and to watch them learn and grow in their writing skills and creative expression. Here's to a fabulous new school year!

Help me build a solid library for my classroom filled with books my students will really enjoy! Having a rich classroom library is essential to all elementary school classrooms, and I want mine to shine!\r\n Literacy is the foundation of elementary education, and it begins and continues with a quality classroom library and a text-rich environment. As an English Language Arts and Social Studies teacher, I will use the texts in the library to support my instruction by providing concrete examples of writing techniques in a format that is relevant to my students. I have also requested some primary source posters to display in my literacy-rich Social Studies instruction.

Organization is the Key to Success!
|
I am privileged to teach at a small public school in Manhattan where we have some of the greatest kids you'd ever want to meet. They have big dreams and they all want to be successful in school. Of course, to be successful in school it helps to have some basic supplies and the donation requested would qualify in my opinion.\r\n\r\nMore than 80% of the students at my high school qualify for free lunch. Their families struggle financially and purchasing all they need for school is often a struggle.
|
So many of my students cannot afford a good sturdy binder to keep all their class work for their different courses. Many use flimsy notebooks and/or folders instead. Some purchase binders whose rings end up not hooking in with one another after a little wear and tear and so they revert to a folder. \r\n\r\nThe donation of these durable 2 inch binders with dividers will allow students to organize their work for all their classes into one place. As a result, it will be the only \"notebook\" they'll need to bring with them to and from school. \r\n\r\nSadly so many kids spend so much of their time looking for stuff they cannot find in their book bags such as class assignments or handouts. Having a solid binder, along with dividers, to hold and arrange all their classwork, notes, and handouts will surely assist them in being organized. And being organized is crucial to any student's success.

My classroom is a group of 44 children ready to learn to read and write everyday when they come to school. Our school is part of a Title I school in Houston, TX where all my little students get free breakfast and lunch. Most of them come from low-income single parent household. Most of our parents are single moms or their dads are away from home working and struggle to make ends meet. Even though, my students have all these difficulties they come to school happy and eager to learn to read and write. I would love to provide the best learning environment and opportunities to my students so they can be successful and give them the tools they need to help them for the rest of their lives.

Due to the coming cold and flue season I want to provide my students a clean and healthy environment. My students need Kleenex to wipe their noses and prevent germs from spreading. I need disinfecting wipes to clean the tables after breakfast and our workstations. If the tables are cleaned and disinfected I'm going to prevent my students from catching any virus going on in the class. The supplies in this project will help my student's health and aid our class attendance rate due to season idleness. The parents brought school supplies at the beginning of the school year, but we already ran out of them.

A variety of sports equipment to get us outside!

I am very fortunate to have a diverse classroom of learners. I teach a mixed aged classroom of 2nd and 3rd graders. These kids are a really great mix of learners, Each bringing something different into the classroom community. There are students from Vietnam, Mexico, Native American kids, kids of color and a mix of socioeconomic advantage and disadvantage. \r\n\r\n We were a Title 1 school until this year, so many kids are still living in poverty and lack the resources they need to be successful in the school environment. My classroom is a place my students can depend on to be a space they feel safe in, to take risks, be themselves and be pushed to learn and grow by a teacher with only the highest of expectations for each one of them.

The students in my class love to get outside, even in the rain! Last year, we had a tub of sporting equipment that began half full and ended with close to nothing. Even the tub was broken. The class asked me to get them some more equipment. I told them I could not afford it, but would look into some ways to get them some. So here I am! As a class, we have spoken about having some organized recess time, such as the entire class playing a game of soccer or kickball, as well as having some free play, which is equally important.\r\n Having a variety of sporting equipment to use, will mean that we could play a different sport each day of the week, being sure to capture most kids interests.\r\nWith PE now being cut to only two sessions of 25 mins a week, I see that the job of getting and keeping these kids interested in outdoor activity, is really up to me. Being a physically active teacher, I am fortunate that teaching these sports is something I enjoy and welcome. I just need the equipment to pull it off!

Books: Inspiring Learners Since 1450

My fifth grade students are hungry for knowing more about the world and what it has to offer. Also, they're just plain awesome! My students attend a Title One school where many receive free breakfast and lunch. Although many of them may be experiencing challenging experiences and home lives, I love being a part of their educational journey. This is a place where they not only feel loved and respected, but also feel like they can take on the world!\r\n\r\nThese learners are transported to other worlds and experiences with enthusiasm and wonder. Everyday, my students have opportunities to put on different \"hats\" to expand their horizons. Whether they are scientists, engineers, mathematicians, novelists, coders, musicians or activists, they are always presented with new and memorable experiences to help them realize the kind of citizens they want to become.

Kids need access to our wonderful world. And what better way to give them this access than through stories? A book has always been a powerful tool to inspire and stir fascination in their own minds. This project will fund over fifty high-interest and at grade-level books where these learners need easy access.\r\n\r\nGoing on underwater adventures or exploring our Nation's beginnings, are just some examples of what these learners will experience through this project. Having a dedicated collection of books like these, will give students the chance to explore new genres and subjects. We all know the power of stories. Change a student's life with books!

A Laminator for Creative Artists with ADHD and Autism!
|
I am the art teacher at a Northern Ohio charter school for students who have been diagnosed with ADHD and/or Asperger's Syndrome (high functioning autism). Our school is a special education program founded on the principle that any child can learn given the proper learning environment and tools.
|
I teach art to 200 students at all grade levels (K-12). I love my teaching assignment! My students are creative and energetic, and we make lots of art when we're together in the art room. \r\nI always try to engage my students and bring new lesson ideas to keep the creativity flowing. \r\nOne of my favorite parts of my job is helping my students prepare artwork for display in our building, the community, or for our annual art show. In the past, I have laminated student artwork to protect it. Unfortunately, our laminator has stopped working. I want to be able to provide my students with a way to preserve and protect their works of art.
|
I am asking for this high quality 27\" laminator and a three year protection plan so that my students will be able to protect their masterpieces. Our whole school will benefit from this project as I plan to share the laminator with the entire staff at my school. \r\nTeachers and students will all appreciate being able to protect important documents and projects to be put on display. \r\nShowing artwork greatly benefits my students as it builds their confidence and instills a sense of pride in what they've created.
|
Please help my happy, huggable, and hyper students protect the works of art that they create in art class. Your donation to this project is an investment in my students' art education. Thank you!

Beautiful Multi-Culturalism
|
My students are an amazing group of human beings. They come from all over the world and speak many different languages. Not only do they bring linguistic wealth to the classroom but cultural wealth as well.\r\n\r\nThe cultural wealth my students bring to the classroom allows others to understand their dreams, goals and learned experiences. What they need now is a vehicle to express those cultural norms. They are artistic by nature and have a great degree of curiosity for learning.\r\n
|
Since my students come with such diverse backgrounds, I know that having access to various mediums of art materials will allow for a greater understanding of math, social studies, and most importantly, themselves. \r\n\r\n Having story-writing paper for their rough drafts, printer ink for their published work, as well as clay to make representations of characters will ignite their enthusiasm to learn about other cultures. \r\n\r\nI am asking for 3-D geometric shapes so that when the students make kente cloth they can make the mathematical connection between 2-D shapes and 3-D within the context of a culture. They will then be able to make the connections between representable shapes used in cultures in Africa to those used in aboriginal artwork from Australia and Native artwork from North America,

Kinders Synergizing Centers
|
My students are kindergarteners. Most of them have never been to school before, so this is their first experience in school. My students come from all kinds of homes and backgrounds. I teach students in poverty, middle class, and some wealthy children. I have students in split homes and traditional homes. I have students who live in permanent homes and those who are transient or even homeless. \r\n\r\nI teach in a rural, community school that is growing at a steady rate. The students at my school want to learn, are eager to learn, and strive to do their best with what materials we currently have.
|
The materials I am requesting will be used to enhance the academic and social development of the students. The STEM set for Goldilocks and the Three Bears requires them to think about ways to make the chairs strong enough for Goldilocks to sit in them. The addition stamp set lets students create their own number sentences and use stamp pictures to show a visual representation of their numbers.\r\n\r\nThese materials would give students different ways to practice their academic skills while working with peers. In our curriculum we learn to read and make maps. One of the materials I want for my classroom lets the children create their own maps with materials provided in the set. This will encourage map planning and cooperative learning.\r\n\r\nThe magic water marbles and color touch board will be great additions to our sensory station. It will create a new sensory experience for the students. The drying rack will help the students have a place to put their paintings while they dry. \r\n\r\nAll of these materials will add exciting ways for my students to practice skills and work together for many years to come.

My students need new materials for their centers and workstations where they can work together to learn and practice academic and social skills.

Techniques and Designing Tools For Architectural Learning Activities
|
Seventh grade students from ethnically diverse backgrounds that have one thing in common - SCIENCE has never been an exciting subject to be consider important. Why? Many lack science experiences throughout prior grades, others come from schools that focus mostly on ELA and Math proficiency, and students that recently came to the US with no science background. \r\nMy students are very capable of engaging in learning activities that require science knowledge and skills. Dynamic hands on activities is a must for them to succeed.
|
The possibilities of providing my students the opportunity to work in a professional architect/engineer environment within our school will increase their engagement in STEAM science activities. Throughout this year I have assessed projects presented by students that were amazing within their limitations of not having adequate designing tools. If this project is funded we will be able to provide our students interested in engineering and architecture a working setting that will welcome their willingness to excel and take their work to an entirely new level. Drafting and designing projects with the appropriate tools will enhance their science skills and participation.
| null | null |
My students need the appropriate designing tools to continue their excitement for architecture / engineering activities and to be able to present projects that look professional.

Manipulatives and Classroom Organization!
|
I am a first year teacher at an amazing elementary school! My second graders come from a variety of backgrounds in regards to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, etc. These kids are engaged and want to learn! They just need the tools to help us get to where we are wanting to go.\r\n\r\nMy school is considered \"Title I\" meaning we have the amazing opportunity to serve an area that is considered to be low income. Despite this, I am fighting to give my students their best chance to succeed at anything they want to put their mind to.
|
The items in this cart will help me as a teacher organize my classroom better, which gives the students a better classroom environment to work in. By organizing the areas for reading and math, they are able to focus on the instruction instead of figuring out where to put their binders, books, etc.\r\n\r\nThe math manipulatives will help them learn why and how things work like the Base 10 manipulatives, coin manipulatives and the plant cases. This helps them understand what they are learning on a much deeper level.\r\n\r\nAll kids love to play games - and not all of my students have games to help their fine motor skills at home. The games in this cart will help them work on those skills.
| null | null |
My students need a lot of manipulatives to help them understand the concept of what I am teaching.

Buckets of Books- Part 2
|
My students are inspiring. Every year I have between 19 and 26 students. We work closely with the other second grade teachers and students. \r\n\r\nWe spend the year learning, making friends and acquiring new skills. We work independently, in small groups and as a class. My students come from a variety of backgrounds both economically and ethnically. They get involved in their own learning process and they love to make improvements. They try new things and work towards mastery. They are amazing!
|
My students are at a wide range of reading abilities from kindergarten to fifth grade but many in second grade are yearning to show off their skills by reading chapter books. They have read picture books and early readers and they are ready for more. More pages, more words, and more story line! The problem is that many chapter books have content and vocabulary that is difficult for my 8 year old readers. The books I am asking for in this collection include three series of various reading genres: Data Set (science exploration), Critter Club (animal fiction) and Greetings from Somewhere (adventure/mystery). These books are chapter books but have larger print. They have many pictures to help the readers and have a vocabulary and story line that is written at an easier level than many other chapter books.\r\nHaving these books in the classroom will encourage students to continue a love of reading and reward their initiative to read a longer story. These might be the first stories they read that require more than one setting. Books that students feel success with will motivate them to come back for more.
| null | null |
My students need easy to read chapter books in a variety of genres to inspire a love of reading.

Chromebooks Please!!!
|
My students come from a very small school system. This is a very rural area where most students live on a farm and do not have access to the internet. There is one primary, one elementary, one middle and one high school. I work at the primary school and teach first grade special education. Each student has his/her own needs and enjoys coming to school. (First grade is such a fun age!)\r\n\r\n For many students, school is their only opportunity to use computers and the internet because many of them don't have these things at home. Since I teach Special Education, my students all have different needs. Technology is a wonderful way to meet these individual needs. There are many programs out now that work with each student at his/her level and progress as the students progress.
|
My students come from rural homes where technology is not available. Having the opportunity to use the internet at school is their only chance to use 21st century technology.\r\nIf we got these Chromebooks in our classroom, we could do so many fun educational things.\r\nThere are so many sites to use with educational games where the students would have fun and learn at the same time.\r\nSince this is a special education class, each student has his/her own needs and many of the educational sites work with each student at his or her own pace. What a wonderful way to learn!\r\n

My students come from diverse backgrounds. Some students come to schoop with enriched backgrounds and others come to school with minimum background knowledge. They are eager to learn and do anything they can to achieve their goals! My students come from a small community who love to do life together and celebrate all milestones in life. They inspire and lean upon one another. My classroom encourages students to be thinkers and doers, no matter the obstacles in their lives. They are our future.

I am requesting an easel, sheet protectors, crayons and colored pencils. These materials will allow students to access education in ways that they couldn't imagine! The easel will allow students to showcase their learning and peer tutor one another. The sheet protectors will allow them to stay organized. Colored pencils and crayons will be supplied to students who cannot afford these supplies. By providing my students with these essential materials, they will be able to be successful and have fun while learning. School will become more exciting and my students will want to come to school everyday! We can do this together!

Learning Technological in Order to Bring Learning Alive
|
My clientele comprise of students from low economic backgrounds with many of them eager to learn. As I prepare my lessons, many technological resources and regular supplies to complete projects are not always available. My goal is to provide quality lessons that can enrich the learning environment through 21st Century Learning by incorporating technology and having basic supplies available. \r\n\r\nIntegrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching basic computer skills; it ensures using technology in an innovative manner class. Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts. In addition, basic supplies should not stop a child from performing at his/her maximum potential.\r\n
|
I believe effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals. I also believe that technology-enabled project learning is a plus for classroom instruction. Learning through projects while equipped with technology tools allows students to be intellectually challenged. Through projects, students acquire and refine their analysis and problem-solving skills.\r\n\r\nStudents will utilize tablets, laptops, headphones, digital cameras, printers, and supplies to create a Georgia Story. This is increase their knowledge of Georgia History. This is ensure they have a greater appreciation and love for their beloved state of Georgia.

Need Translation? No Problemo!
|
In a predominantly bilingual community, literacy skills are imperative for our students academic gains. My students deserve a curriculum that is engaging, differentiated and grounded in evidence based research in order to ensure their preparedness for college, career, and citizenship.\r\n\r\nMy students WANT to effectively express their thoughts and ideas in a way that demonstrates their academic learning! Ensuring they have the supports they need is my utmost priority in order to help them achieve this goal. Despite the challenges they face, they are deserving of an education that will help them advance their intellectual and a leadership qualities in their community and beyond!
|
The large majority of our students are bilingual and in need of ESL Literacy supports. Students who are apart of our EL program often times do not have the supplies needed to help them succeed in the regular ed classroom. \r\nProviding them with Spanish-English Dictionaries will enable them to engage more fully during writing activities and peer discussion. This resource will impact their learning in ALL of their classes and help them develop their English vocabulary. This is one small step in ensuring students are receiving the appropriate scaffolds needed in order to increase proficiency and understanding of content and skills; directly aligned to WIDA Standards and CCSS’s

Presentations Are Important
|
I work in a school district that is considered a low income Title I district. We do not have a large budget to buy the items necessary for our classrooms. The majority of my students have limited access to the Internet or technology at home. Our district is made up of Hispanics and Caucasian students, many of whom are from migrant families. Many students are struggling to meet Common Core standards. With the right tools, they can master the tasks given to them.
|
These materials will help students with creating posters for projects throughout the year. They will also help with the small group instruction my students recieve on a daily basis. It is important that my students have the ability to look back at examples when they are completing their work. With the tablets and sentence strips students will have examples to refer back to during instruction. The supplies will be useful to our classroom and appreciated by every student. Also our reading series currently has a set of trade books for each student and we need a way to store them.

Habitats for You and Me!
|
I am a 5th grade Science classroom in a small community in Texas. There are no museums or aquariums close to us for me to be able to take my students on a field trip. Having pets in the classroom will benefit my students by bringing nature to them. My students, coming from various socioeconomic backgrounds, are facing many obstacles in their daily lives. I would like my classroom to be a safe, stimulating, and fun place for them to be able to learn. I want them to look forward to coming to Science every day!
|
This donation will enable my students to observe different habitats of reptiles, fish and plants. Our curriculum for 5th grade Science involves life cycles, habitats and environments. Hands on experience is beneficial to young and curious students. \r\nStudents who experience \"real world\" application in the classroom are more successful in applying what they have learned. Direct observation and care of pets in the classroom teaches students responsibility. Some children do not get to have a pet at home, so our classroom pet becomes their only means of experiencing, caring and observing live animals. \r\nAquariums and terrariums provide peaceful sounds and sights for students and for me!

Let's Get Physical and Wiggle While We Learn!
|
I teach very active and diverse preschool and elementary special needs students in a Title I public school. Although my students are economically disadvantaged and have many challenges to deal with inside and outside of school, they come to school eager and ready to learn! They often have difficulty sitting still and maintaining focus.\r\nMy students need alternative seating, musical movement tasks, fidget toys, and excercise to allow them to be able to move and wiggle while they learn! \r\n This will increase student active engagement and learning in the classroom!\r\n
|
My young preschool and elementary aged special needs students need to move, move, move! We are requesting 7 wobble chairs to help my students stay active for 60 minutes a day. My students love the one wobble chair that we have in our classroom, and have asked for more to stay active during classroom tasks. We currently take turns and share the 1 that we do have. The addition of 7 more will allow each student to have access during small group table time. These chairs will allow my students to safely move and engage core muscles while learning. The wobble chairs will help improve posture and assist in maintaining focus. \r\n This student-inspired project will provide more wobble chairs for students to use in our classroom, as requested!\r\nIn addition to the wobble chairs, my students will engage in physical activity while learning by using the Apple TV to participate in visual, musical movement tasks and fitness tasks. They will use the fidget toys to develop fine motor skills and to keep fidgety hands occupied for increased focus and attending.\r\nWobble chairs, fidgets, and an Apple TV will help my students to get physical by wiggling and excercising while they learn!\r\n

My students are a group of young discoverers from the mountains in beautiful north central Pennsylvania. The family of the students in this area have been hit very hard by the current economic struggles. Many business as well as people have left the area. Though the area has been hit very hard you would not know it when you see the excitement in their faces when they are learning new ideas and empowering themselves with technology. In my class I try to use STEM and other technological concepts to develop students interests in Math and Reading.

When the project is fully funded I hope to use these robots immediately in the classroom to further development students programming and problem solving abilities at the elementary level. \r\n\r\nStudents will learn complicated concepts such as, Variables, Controls, Data, Syntax, and Tools\r\n\r\nThis will also create more connections into other subject areas such as Mathematics, Science, and Engineering. Students will be able to learn programing concepts such as, Variables, Controls, Data, Syntax and Tools.\r\n\r\nStudents will also be able to apply complicated mathematics concepts that apply to mechanical engineering. Such as calculating the number of time a wheel of a certain diameter will need to travel for a given distance.

Scholastic Scope to increase literacy.
|
My 7th graders are as unique as they come. They all form a melting pot of cultures. I have students that don't know a single word in English to students that are so advanced whom I have to create extra lessons for. \r\n\r\nMainly, these students come from single parent homes who work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Some receive free or reduced lunch and many still don't have all their materials for school. I want to be able to provide my students with the necessary tools they need to love and appreciate literature.

My students are reading below grade level. By using Scholastic Scope, my students will work on their fluency. I want to provide positive practice that covers different levels of state standards. The Scholastic Scope Magazine is a great way to do this\r\n\r\nBy using these magazines, my students will receive a monthly magazine that covers reading, grammar, and writing all in one place. Furthermore, these magazine comes equipped with lesson that I will be able to implement with my students.\r\n\r\nI plan to use these magazines as an enrichment tool. My students will be assigned a weekly home learning activity from the magazine. Each selection on the magazine has a writing activity at the end. This will help my students prepare for out state assessments.

I teach at a Title 1 school in a rural area of North Carolina. The school has approximately 500 students that come from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. My students are in Kindergarten through 5th grade, including a special needs class. \r\nIt is very important that my students have the tools and resources in order to succeed in music class.\r\nThis is my first year at this school and I want to ensure my students have the necessary musical instruments and resources for a fun and engaging music program. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My students need a soprano xylophone, alto xylophone, and a soprano metallophone to start and build an Orff Orchestra. Music is the universal language that can break down numerous barriers while simultaneously being a pleasurable joint experience with all those involved. This project is to supply my music students with a variety of musical resources, so students can learn and enjoy from a number of activities in each class. \r\nMusic is not just a passive activity, but something that includes playing instruments, singing, dancing, acting, and team building. The instruments purchased with the donated funds are excellent for completely immersing the students in musical activities and enjoyment.

Chromebooks To The Rescue!
|
My second graders are enthusiastic learners and they inspire me on a daily basis. They come from a variety of different economic backgrounds and most of them receive free or reduced lunch. They have limited access to technology at home, so this increases the importance of technology in the classroom. \r\nThey love to learn, explore, create, and work in cooperative groups. They enjoy using our three computers and the SMARTBoard in the classroom. Access to the school laptop cart is very limited. My students need more opportunities with laptops to reach their potential. \r\n
|
My students are eager to learn and want to be successful. Our district has invested in online text books, however, we don't have technology available to use this resource consistently. Our school has invested in an online reading program which is individualized for each student. Without technology these resources will be of no use to my students. By incorporating Chromebooks in the class, I can provide a blended learning environment. The Chromebooks provide an ability to differentiate instruction at at deeper level than I am currently able. Some students can use technology for instruction and assessment (for remediation and for challenge) while other students work in small groups with me and others can utilize the digital texts. \r\n\r\nDonations to this project will make a huge impact on the students in my classroom.\r\nThe Chromebooks will be shared by 17 students in my class throughout the school day. Students will be able to regularly access materials that are individualized and appropriate to move them forward. Using technology will help students meet and exceed their learning goals.

Creativity Through Dance Education & Dance Techniques
|
Lets change the world through dance. \r\nI teach dance in a low-income community, a school located in the South Bronx. As I walk inside of the school on the first day of class, my students lined up in front of the dance room full of excitement and joy to have dance for the school year and meet their new dance teacher. \r\nMy students are so full of talent what I refer to as \"raw talent\". Most of them do not have any prior knowledge of other styles of dance and yet they are able to learn and perform certain dance phrases that usually takes others years to perform and understand.\r\nThey love to show me what they already know such as the latest dance moves and together we love to incorporate those into our educational dance choreographies to allow them to contribute to their learning process. \r\nMy students \"dancers\" are full of enthusiasm, curiosity, and have proven themselves to be fully committed to improving and developing their dance skills.
|
My students whom I refer to as dancers are in desperate need of mirrors in our dance room. I currently teach about 250 students, at a school located in the South Bronx. Unfortunately, most of my students have not had the opportunity of being exposed to other styles of dance. For some, dance education and dance techniques training during the school day presents itself as the first time they have been exposed to dancing in a dance studio setting. My goal as their dance teacher is to provide them with an abundance of knowledge, including a variety of dance styles, dance techniques and the importance of dance in society. \r\nThe mirrors will not only allow my students to receive the full dancing experience, it will allow them to reflect on their journeys, by providing them with the necessary tools needed to see their reflection, allowing them to correct themselves, and tracking their progress and improvements. \r\nThe addition of mirrors into our dance room will deepen my students understanding of the practice of dance, students will perform with confidence by being able to feel but most importantly see their growth. My hopes is that my students will utilize the practice and discipline of dance making & performing into their core subject areas, allowing them to score and perform at their optimal capacity. In the end, my students will have the necessary tools to demonstrate, showcase but most importantly to channel their creative power through dance to make a difference in the lives of others.

Reading group table in low-income special education class
|
Many of my students thrive in a small group setting where they can interact with the teacher directly. I would like this small group activity table so I can work across from six students at one time in order to help them make one and a half years of growth in their reading skills.
|
I teach a class of special education students with disabilities that range from mild, such as visual or auditory processing issues, all the way to severe cognitive disabilities, like Autism and Intellectual Disability. 21 students in a special education class is a very large amount and can make differentiating, while maintaining a classroom environment conducive to learning, very difficult. The standard student desks currently used make it difficult for students to focus on instruction or collaborate in a meaningful way with their peers.
|
This table will be used for small group instruction in reading comprehension, reading fluency, writing workshops for 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts and social studies curricula. At the start of the school year, students will complete several different diagnostic tests and be grouped cooperative groups based on instructional level.
|
Currently my students have to use desks that do not facilitate collaboration or give me direct access to the student within the work space. The type of activity table that I am attempting to procure is often used in an elementary school setting for this very purpose, reading instruction. In a special education classroom, such as mine, the majority of my students still read below a 5th grade level and would thus benefit from this educational tool.

My students need to interact with each other and the teacher in a small group setting, standard desks in a special education class are too distracting.

Twenty-one Twenty-first Century Learners!
|
We are a Title I school in Grand Prairie, Texas of about 550 students grades PK- 5 including 3 CARE units (for autistic students). Our school was built in 1953, but the students are 21st century students who have a great interest in technology. We are a diverse school that celebrates family, culture, and traditions. Our teachers have taught generations of families, with many teachers going on 12+ years. We strive to provide our students with opportunities for the future.
|
Our school was built in 1953 and as a result it is still rather small. We only have one computer lab to serve 550 students. Our district requires all students to work on Fast ForWord, a 30 minute reading program three times a week at minimum. Because this district mandate takes priority, we are not able to use the computer lab for other purposes very often. Being 21st century learners, they need exposure and practice with programs that allow them to research, create, and collaborate using technology. I have a vast knowledge of technology, being a 21st century student myself, but I am not able to pass this knowledge along to my students. As an educator, I would like my students to be able to use technology in a way that will benefit them in the future for higher education or their career. I would like to initially acquire enough laptops for my students to use in partners. These laptops will be used in my classroom for researching, creating presentations, blogging to practice writing and collaborating, and content skill practice.

My students are not just students, they're scholars! They are hard working and strive to succeed. They come to school with smiles on their faces, and lots of energy. They love to work together on projects and collaborate with each other. \r\n Through collaboration and educational conversations, my scholars learn and achieve! They look forward to the next opportunity to discuss, create, and present what they've learned. I couldn't be more proud of the children I have the privilege of educating. \r\n
|
I can not wait to see the looks on my scholars faces as they walk into my classroom for the first time seeing so many amazing options for seating. My scholars participate in a lot of collaborative learning opportunities throughout all content areas. By providing them the opportunity to sit on comfortable cushions while discussing math problems, or wobble stools while working in groups and conferring with the teacher, or a moon chairs while talking about books, their focus levels will increase!\r\n I know that by providing my scholars with more opportunities for seating that allows them to wiggle and move a bit, their attention, focus, and motivation will increase. Giving them the power of choice in seating will go a long way. I know for a fact that the wobble stools in particular will make a huge difference for some of my scholars with special needs. My more reluctant participants will be more actively involved in class and eager to participate if they get to sit in a moon chair. The cushions will be so appealing in the classroom library that I won't be able to keep scholars' noses out of books. I am so ecstatic about this opportunity!\r\n

Flocab Builds Vocab
|
In my county, 6th graders are still in elementary school. We are a Title I school with 75% on free or reduced lunch. Many of my students have home lives that some of us could never imagine, yet they make it to school every day. \r\n\r\nMore importantly, by the time they get to 6th grade they become less motivated to learn and more motivated to socialize. This requires me to become more creative in the ways I can hook them into learning.
|
Having access to all of the videos at Flocabulary.com will greatly enhance my students love of learning new vocabulary in all subject areas. We have viewed the free videos and my students beg for more. \r\nDo you know the joy that a teacher feels when students WANT to learn more? \r\nFlocabulary has added so much more to their site. They have the Week-in-Rap which highlights current events happening all around the world which opens up their interest in the world around them so much more. This is a tool that I know will motivate my students and increase their achievement in and out of school.
