Move to Improve
|
My 2nd grade classroom is a vibrant place full of discovery, creativity, and challenge. Many of my students are English Language Learners or have Special Needs, but we celebrate that we are all unique and have gifts to share. So many of my students need to move. They can struggle with sitting still and love to wobble, move, and stretch. Having the necessary flexible seating would assist with a better learning environment. With alternative seating, we will be able to create our home away from home as well as a comfortable and safe work environment.
|
I feel the following quote describes my project well- \"If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn \"- Lynacio Estrada. My students thrive in a classroom that allows them to learn in multiple ways. By utilizing alternative seating, I will be creating a space for students to learn in a safe and comfortable environment. Students will not have to worry about wiggling in a chair, but will be viewed by their commitment to be ready to learn and problem solve. My students don't always have the most comfortable home lives. Some may worry about their next meal, if they will have clean clothes for the next day, or what situations might be occurring at home. When students are in my classroom, they know it is a safe place where they can be themselves and explore to find out how they learn best. \r\nI want to create a classroom where students can have productive learning while being in a comfortable environment. Alternative seating allows students to make a choice for themselves. For some students, they prefer a chair, but for others, a picnic chair or yoga ball may be a better space in which to move and spread out. The focus becomes, not on sitting in a chair, but on making positive choices, while being engaged and active learners.
| null | null |
My students need flexible seating options, such as reclining seats and yoga balls, to provide an optimal and comfortable learning environment.

Bringing Classics to the Classroom: Covering Great Authors Across Time
|
\"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.\" — Frederick Douglass\r\n\r\nMy students LOVE to read! My goal as their teacher is to give them as many opportunities to experience literature as possible. Having access to classic novels will help better prepare them for college and make them culturally literate as well. Classic literature not only exposes them to great writing and stories, it helps increase their vocabulary and reading stamina. We are hoping to be able to purchase the following books: The Shadow Trilogy: This trilogy features works of three great nineteenth-century authors: Edgar Allen Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue, Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles. The Fog Trilogy: This triology consists of The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane, The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, and Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson
|
In our reading classrooms today, students have many opportunities to read the latest and greatest novels. However, they don't always know where some of the themes and ideas first came from, this is where reading the classics will come in. \r\n\r\n Reading the classics helps students develop an appreciation for language while challenging them with vocabulary that is unfamiliar. \r\n\r\nThe classics expose students to good writing and provide opportunities to look critically at the themes that have survived the ages. By having access to these novels, I hope to create a unit that will look at the commonalities within the novels while focusing on vocabulary that is specific to each novel set. The ability and the opportunity for my students to read a \"great book\" is one that I would love to share with them. This unit would provide that opportunity and allow us to explore the past while shaping their literary futures.
| null | null |
My students need to have access to the novel at school and home so that we can fully enjoy these classics.

Basic Supplies for Art Class
|
I teach art at a title one school. Which at times can be challenging to get funding for supplies. \r\n\r\nWhat I love about my school is that my students know how to match your efforts, when you give them 100% they give you 110% of their effort. My students might not have a lot in terms of material things or financial support, but they do know how to care when someone cares about them! \r\n\r\nMy hope is that this grant will provide the basic supplies the students need when they walk in the door of my classroom. Instead of asking them why they don't have a pencil that day, I can hand them one that you have donated, along with an eraser and some quality drawing paper. \r\n
|
Some of my students come to class without a pencil or quality paper. I would like to provide these for my students when they walk in the door. \r\n\r\nAbout an eight of my students are able to pay part or all of the class fee. I find it unfair to make the other students who paid the fee get supplies while the others do not have anything. \r\n\r\nI believe public education should allow all students to have access to the materials they need. This is why I wrote a grant, to give my students the basic needs for class. The materials from this grant will allow students access to drawing and writing without worrying about money or the cost of the supplies they are using.

Dying Rack for Eager Artists
|
My students reside mostly in the community of Humboldt Park on Chicago's west side. These amazing kiddos are so eager for new experiences and they really know how to take control of their learning. The always communicate exactly eat kinds of projects they are interested in doing.\r\n\r\nWe are creative, hard-working and so excited to learn!\r\n\r\nTime to build our art studio materials up so we can take our learning to the next level. We are up for the challenge!
|
Our current art department at Lowell is fantastic. There are so many enthusiastic students, teachers and community members that come through our doors. Our community, administration, and students expect our fine arts program to be the best in can be. Unfortunately, we are missing a key tool for the art classroom. A drying rack. \r\n\r\nA drying rack will allow for our students to create pieces of art of many kinds of media including watercolor paints, tempera paints, acrylic paints, paper mache, plaster, and clay. \r\n\r\nHaving a drying rack will truly change our art department. It is so important that we acquire a drying rack because students should be able to function in their learning space effectively. Not having a drying rack causes us to have to put artwork in the hallway, on the floor, and risks damage to our art.\r\n\r\nA functioning art studio is very important for students to have in order to create ownership of their studio. My students express frustration when they don't have the proper tools they need. In my classroom, I strive to create a space where my students take responsibility for our leaning, projects, and studio care. Please help us to reach our goals.

SNAP! Snap Circuits-students get a charge out of electricity!
|
We have students from affluent families as well as students requiring free and reduced price lunch. In fact, our school increases the number of students yearly requiring free and reduced price lunch and breakfast to almost one-third currently. Students are eager to learn, and using hands-on materials allows me to present unfamiliar topics in a way that hopefully helps them maintain and apply what is learned in class.\r\n\r\nStudents in 8th grade taking the SOL for science have to remember and apply content vocabulary for three years of science and while our overall score is usually above 80%, by decreasing the numbers yearly, I am always looking for ways to improve comprehension and improve the love of STEM.
|
Students are curious about electronics in their lives. Snap Circuits are kits that include all the components of circuits without wires that can complicate the process of building circuits. The 8th grade SOL for science includes information about dioxes and transistors and snap circuits make the study of those topics student-centered and exciting! Students can build their circuits. Snap circuits allow for safe, inquiry-oriented, student investigations of circuitry. The kits are very user friendly and encourage even the reluctant science students to get involved in building circuits. By providing snap circuits, students can work independently or work collaboratively to obtain the necessary skills and essential vocabulary.
| null | null |
My students need snap circuits to build circuits. The purpose of this project is to provide students with an opportunity to build various circuits to determine the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

Listening & Speaking: Improving Our Literacy Through Read180
|
As a teacher in a rural area of South Carolina, I see students from all walks of life. Some of my students have parents and extended families that are able to lavish them with expensive gifts and attention. Some students have hard-working parents that do everything they can to help their child succeed. And some students don't know where their next meal is coming from (unless it's at school) or where they will lay their head down tonight and try to sleep.\r\n\r\nNo matter their background or home life, my students come together for a common goal at school: to learn various disciplines and to learn how to navigate this crazy thing called life. My students are in a class specialized for struggling readers. Through independent reading, small group work with me, and computer software, they are working to boost their reading, vocabulary, and comprehension levels so that they will be on the same level as their peers.
|
In Read180 class, each day consists of three stations to visit: independent reading, small group, and software. During software, students log-in to Read180 where they complete individualized work in several zones: reading (comprehension & vocabulary); spelling; word (word recognition/sight words); writing; and success zone (defending answers). In software time, they both listen to instructions and are required to record themselves speaking various texts, including prompts and their own writing.\r\n\r\nBy donating to this project, you are assuring that my students are able to complete their required software rotation each day in order to become a better reader and writer. They are not even able to log on to the software without these materials. They need the over-ear headphones because they are the most comfortable, they are noise-cancelling (to limit distractions), and they are the most hygienic option as they can be cleaned much easier than earbuds. These materials will be shared with all students in my Read180 classes.

Birdies and Plants, It's Cold Outside!
|
Our students are just beginning to discover the benefits of connecting with their environment through gardening. Our school is a project-based learning school where we strive to offer real world learning experiences. The majority of our students are extremely \"plugged in\". We want to ensure that our students receive a well-rounded education and expose them to the natural world as well as prepare them for a technological world. Students excel in different areas. Here they get multiple opportunities to shine.
|
Our students will be caring for our community birds and growing lettuces, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, Swiss chard, carrots, and bok choy throughout the winter. We will use our solar shed as well as our outdoor raised beds. \r\nThese supplies will be used to create hoop houses for our beds, provide much needed food and feeders for birds, and the solar panels will be used power a fan for a solar greenhouse heating system that the students will build. Because the school year starts late in the planting season, it is important that students garden throughout the winter months.

Fostering Life Change
|
The total enrollment at my school is approximately 1100 students in which 78.7 % of total enrollment are Hispanic or Latino, 85.1 % are from socioeconomically disadvantaged, 31.5% are English Learners, and 14.9% of the students are students with disabilities. \r\n\r\nI absolutely love the students that I serve. Since I began to coach sports I noticed that many of the students that I serve come from homes whose fathers are missing for various reasons such as imprisonment, deportation, divorce and some fathers are hardly around because they work late hours to support the family. As a result of this, I have developed meaningful relationships with my athletes as they seek that positive male role-model. \r\n\r\nMany of my kids turn to sports as a means to avoid gangs and drugs that plague many of their lives and environment in which they live. I do everything I can to make being part of a sports-team fun in order to foster an environment where young men and women will learn the life-skills needed to be positive and influential members of our society.
|
The students that participate in sports have a outlet to channel their frustrations and energy, keeping them focused at school. It also keeps students off the street, where they might otherwise get in trouble. Many of the students that I serve cannot afford these materials. \r\n\r\nHaving the right equipment gives students the confidence and security they need to be successful. It also demonstrates to students that people care about them and what they become in life. This caring gesture could potentially be the catalyst that the students need to encourage them to want to do something positive with their lives.

Technology Needed!

I am the proud teacher of forty three amazing students. They are a group of incredibly diverse learners who each add something special to the group. They have a passion for learning which never ceases to amaze me. They are proud of where they come from and proud of each and every single accomplishment they make big or small. Our school is home to an ever growing population of economically disadvantaged students. As this number increases, so does their needs. As their teacher, I strive to ensure that they get the most out of my class and enjoy every day they come to school.

The 5 Chromebooks would allow me to create an extra station during my reading rotations. Currently, I only have 9 netbooks for classroom use. Adding 5 more would allow more students access to technology at the same time. During one station, a group of students are on computers doing Istation which is a literacy program while other students are completing other tasks. Each group can be as large as 6 students. This only leaves 3 computers free which is not enough for a full group of students. If I could add more technology, I would be able to add a blogging station to our reading rotations which would further enhance student learning.

I work daily with 23 future leaders of our community who are passionate about the use of new technology! These students are dreamers, creative thinkers, presenters and full of wonder. They inspire me and their peers daily, even if they don't know it yet. \r\n\r\nThese students are our future and I want to give them a great start with their tech skills. Tech skills will enhance all learning, thinking and engagement within our school day! We desperately need devices available within our classroom when inspiration hits! \r\n

Our class has implemented the use of digital portfolios through Seesaw. Students and parents alike LOVE the use of this tool. Students take great pride and get excited about learning within the classroom trying to make their work \"Seesaw worthy.\" Parents are ecstatic as they are able to sneak a peek into their child's educational day. \r\n\r\nThe problem arises when apps such as ShadowPuppet EDU and Chatterpix, that work well with Seesaw, are Apple based and we do not have IPad/Apple devices in our classroom. My students desperately want immediate access to an IPad/Apple device to show their creative skills and to share their learning with their parents. These devices help us in ALL critical curriculum: math, literacy, science, social studies and social behaviors.

Having an extra iPad in the classroom is like having and extra set of helping hands. This device will allow for different structures of learning in my classroom. The iPads are a good reward for my students. While all apps are educational, it's more of a fun way to learn! It is learning made fun! An iPad is a motivational tool used to promote success in learning as well as maintaining any behaviors that can occur. My students know that if they complete their work without any behaviors they are able to earn some free time. Why not have a little bit of free time with an NEW iPad and some educational apps?!\r\n

Headphones Shouldn't Cause Headaches!
|
Our school is full of beautiful, bright, and amazing learners. We are a Title I school and are at 100% free lunch status for all students. Despite the challenges that go along with living in poverty, our students continue to arrive at school each day, ready to learn. \r\n\r\nMy second graders are active, engaged kids that are wildly passionate for technology. They love using our school's Chromebooks to practice reading, writing, and math. They also love to use them to explore topics that they are passionate about. This is especially true for my boys that can't get enough information about the solar system, dinosaurs, and sharks. Its so fun to watch them engage in conversations with each other after each new discovery.
|
Because our elementary school is a Title 1 school, the district provided each of our classrooms a set of Chromebooks at the beginning of this school year for the students to use. I can't tell you how exciting that was. Finally my students would all have equal access to technology! The district also provided us with a program for online reading practice and training on how to implement various Google programs with students. So far, it has been an amazing experience. I can barely keep up with these 7 year old kids as their enthusiasm for using the Chromebooks to supplement their learning increases every time they learn something new!\r\n\r\nAs the year progresses, it has become obvious that we need a class set of comfortable, adjustable student headphones. Many of the kids have complained that the district-provided earbuds make their heads hurt. I think that it is just hard for them to wear those little plugs inside of their ears for more that 10 minutes at a time. They are also having problems with getting the thin wires tangled and I spend a lot of time helping them undo a huge, knotted mess just so they can have enough cord for both buds to reach their ears. Its been a headache for everyone involved.\r\n\r\nThis project is going to be used by more than just this class of students. The headphones are durable and will be well cared for. They will, hopefully, last for years and will be used by all of my future students as well. It will be easier for students to wear this type of headphone, with the adjustable band that goes over the head. I think it will cut down on their pain and is a great solution to hopelessly tangled earbud wires.

Wiggle While You Work Part 2
|
I teach math and science to two classes of Gifted and Talented students in a rural area of South Carolina. One class is a single-gender girls class and the other is co-ed. I have a total of 51 students who are all eager and excited to be successful in the classroom. \r\nMy eager learners work HARD and they are BEGGING me to get flexible seating for our classroom. They acknowledge the fact that it is difficult to stay focused with the strenuous work load that is required of the gifted program. Our classroom currently has six round tables that enable students to work both independently and collaboratively, but the chairs are stationary. My students would benefit greatly from the ability to wiggle while they work!
|
My fifth grade Gifted and Talented students are extremely hard workers. They acknowledge the fact that it is difficult to stay focused while completing rigorous work and innovative projects. My students have been able to observe another classroom on our hallway that contains flexible seating. Their observations led to many questions and they began to research the benefits of flexible seating.\r\nThrough their own research, my students discovered that flexible seating does, in fact, enhance student focus. My students want to have a variety of flexible seating options in our classroom, and they want to try out the Hokki stools. They cannot wait to see the benefits of an active learning classroom for themselves.\r\n

Einsteins in the Making!
|
I service bilingual students who come from very humble households where their parents have very limited financial means. All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch as a result of their parents' poor financial situation. Many have difficulty focusing on their school work because they are overwhelmed with the financial strains their parents face day to day. As their teacher, I try to provide a worry free environment in the classroom where they can be released from their financial worries and be encouraged to strive to be the best!
|
My students come from very humble educational backgrounds. Some of them did not receive a consistent education in their native countries and had very limited resources. This created a learning gap, leaving them at least one grade level behind. These math resources will help my students become more proficient in math skills and get leaps closer to grade level math. They will learn challenging math concepts with hands on resources that will motivate them to learn every day and feel confident of their potential. I know that with these resources they will be empowered to close that learning gap effectively.

I have classes full of eager, young students on a quest for knowledge! Sometimes that quest needs a little help. I am fortunate to be teaching a large group of 6th graders, as well as an Algebra class this year. In an attempt to facilitate their learning in math class, I am developing math rotations as a new addition to our educational program. I believe my students will benefit from the chance to learn in a variety of ways that include small, group learning with me, individual work, math and logic games, and working on computer programs our district has provided all of our students.
|
All students come with strengths and weaknesses in math. By increasing our technology math station with the requested 3 Chromebooks, all students in my class will have access to personalized math instruction designed to change their weaknesses in math into areas of strength!\r\n\r\nI believe the connection to learning through technology is the greatest complement to our classroom instruction.\r\nMaterial covered in class will be reinforced as my students work at the technology station during math rotations. My students look forward to using the computers in our classroom, and I am eager to see the results! I recently saw teachers using a program Kahoots in their classroom where students answer questions via a technology device. The faster they answer correctly, the more points they earn. These students were so excited to learn! I am excited to add this to my weekly routine for my students.\r\n\r\nWithout a doubt, my students will experience the joy of persevering through their goals to show growth in their mathematical understanding and reasoning. I cannot wait!

Our school is full of amazing kids! We are a small charter school in a small town. There are 6 other elementary schools in our town so our students and their parents choose to come to us. They want to be a part of our little community. Our school promotes a college ready atmosphere. We want all of our students to know that they can go to college no matter their background.\r\n\r\nBecause of this, these kids love to learn! They come to school everyday ready to learn something new! I love being able to provide these kids with their learning opportunities every day. It is amazing to see when they figure out something they have been working on or when that student that dislikes all my books finds something they love!

We are a small charter school so we do not have a school library. While our principal does an amazing job of helping us stock our classroom libraries, we end up spending a lot of our own money or using Scholastic to get books. Some of my students say that there is nothing of interest in our library.\r\n\r\nI want to give my students the opportunity to explore new books! With these Kindles, I can add new books from Amazon and give students an opportunity to find a book they may love. I want to make sure they love reading and giving them more choices, I have a better chance of doing just that.
| null | null |
My students need Kindle fires to have access to more books. Our libraries are small so giving them access to more books would be great! The kindles also will not take up much space!

Whole Body Exercise to Develop Muscles, Mind and Mood
|
Each day at school, provides a window of opportunity for our students to learn new skills and develop their knowledge base. They are also learning social skills and cooperative play skills. \r\n\r\nOur classroom is made up of learners who work hard as they are learning to engage with people and social worlds. Each student has an autism spectrum disorder. Our goal is to learn to be an attentive student as well as an active learner in the world around us. The students work on listening to a speaker and following directives as they learn their academic skills. They also are learning to care for their own bodies, which includes learning how to regulate their bodies in the world around them.\r\n

My class has been wanting to move more during the school day. We have already added in dance, basic exercise and stretching. They like game-show approach challenges. By giving them a challenge of moving for 60 minutes throughout the school day, the game is on! They needed assistance in keeping time. They know they couldn't keep watching the clock. Timers and clipboards were the solution to figuring out how long they are moving for throughout their school day. \r\nThey knew they would need to learn new things so they wouldn't be bored doing the same daily exercise routine. By finding DVDs, balance games, bean bag activities and dance ribbons to purchase, they quickly perked up against zoning out when they could own more choices in their exercise routines. More blood flowing and oxygen to your brain means that you think better, exercise is imperative in learning. Stronger lungs and hearts equals more energy. They will be playing and working longer without feeling tired. General exercise means overall good health. By incorporating more everyday movement into our school day, the students will be healthier in mind, mood and muscle!

My students need yoga mats and lessons to help them develop lifelong healthy lifestyle skills. Learning yoga will teach them how to exercise and concentrate better, as well as refine balance and coordination.

Encouraging Learning With Games
|
My awesome class this year is full of second graders ready to be challenged! In rural South Carolina, we are often overlooked or forgotten. Our entire school district has been put on free and reduced lunch because the percentage served was so high. Most of my students come from single family homes, where parents and guardians are doing all they can to provide for their children. \r\n\r\nWe provide a safe haven for students to retreat to each and every day. School is a place where they know they will be loved and cared for. As their teacher, I try to make every day an exciting day for my little learners.
|
The materials I am requesting will be used each day in both Math and ELA centers. I am asking for games and activities to be used to review skills currently being taught as well as content previously covered. In both math and ELA, engagement is a fundamental key to success.\r\n\r\nLearning is never ending, so by including review games, students are able to continue their learning while having fun! My kids LOVE to play games (what kid doesn't?!) and they do great while playing! Because we've been playing education games all year, it's help to build their team work, self esteem, as well as math and reading skills.
| null | null |
My students need both reading and math games and activities to continue to build foundation skills while working collaboratively during centers time.

My students come to school with the desire to learn and are fascinated with the language of music and how it is used in everyday life. Most of them do not have a lot of opportunity outside of school to explore the world of music. My goal is to bridge the gap between the outside world and the wonderful world of music. \r\n\r\nOur school is an neighborhood school in our district with 95% of the students are on free or reduced lunch. A majority of the students have one parent in the household. Students are hard workers when given the opportunity to shine. Another attribute is, they love to come to school and learn new things. \r\n\r\n

Many people wish that they had learned how to play the piano at an early age. It was not until they are older when they realized that they should have used that time as an opportunity to learn. This opportunity provides students a chance to learn how to play the piano while in school without the fees incurred through private lessons. \r\n\r\nUsing keyboards, this gives students a chance to play on the keys and use midi and other forms of technology. With your assistance, students will learn how to compose songs and receive free one to one lessons privately. This project with assist with a new and exciting experience for the students. \r\n

A Flexible Seat Can't Be Beat
|
My students have all the potential in the world. If given the right environment they will be able to meet their full potential. They come from different backgrounds and have all kinds of different stories. \r\n\r\nI would love to create a positive, safe and comfortable environment for my students to be able to grow and learn. This is a Title 1 school where some of my students may need additional support and care. If the student can feel comfortable in their environment it will be easier for them to do whatever is asked of them.\r\n\r\n
|
I love teaching and I want to create an environment where my students will want to be. By helping me fund this project my students will be able to take charge of their own learning. Many kids learn in different ways. I would like to provide an environment that they can be comfortable in and want to learn. \r\n\r\nI researched flexible seating and found that it is such a great method to engage students. Being able to provide this in my classroom will help my students stay engaged and focus on learning. They will be able to be excited about learning and this will make for a better overall experience.

The TIME is Right Now!
|
Our school is a Title One school with over 95% of our 950 students receiving free or reduced lunch. My classroom is full of wonderful students that constantly crave new knowledge. You would never know that all of them come from low-income families. Their amazing attitudes and behavior make you forget this little (but extremely large) fact. Each day my students come to me eager to learn. Even as third grade students, they have dreams of high school, college, and careers and are working hard each day to get closer to them.
|
These timers would help me teach my students how to set reading and math fluency goals. Setting goals helps teach my students independence and critical life skills. The students will learn to get their own baseline data for setting simple achievable goals. They will then use the digital timers to practice the skills. Through this practice my students will work on perseverance and learning the value of never giving up. They will then check their progress and have a conference with me. During their conference we will discuss their data taken by the digital timers and how to set new goals or return to previous goals without feeling defeated.

Emergency! My Second Graders Desperately Need Underpants
|
All of my students are eligible for free breakfast and lunch. All of them want to learn and all of them are starving for education. Many of them are English Language Learners. They attend school in one of the most multicultural districts in the United States. Our school is close to two military bases and many of my students are the children of deployed military personnel. My second graders attend a school designated as high poverty; many are deemed at risk; they generally do not have even the most basic of supplies. They are wonderful kids.\r\n\r\nThe majority of my students walk to our neighborhood school and it is cold and dark when they leave home for school and cold and dark when they walk home; they usually do not have hats, socks or clean underclothes. Many hurry and arrive early so they can eat because they did not have any dinner. They have life essentials that cannot be met by our school.\r\n\r\n.
|
I am asking for underpants for both girls and boys, as well as some disposable underwear. These items are absolutely essential for the times when my students have accidents during the school day. I know that with these items my second graders will have a chance to stop worrying about hygiene and focus on making the grade in reading, writing and math. They will have an easier time focusing on their studies if they are comfortable and have clean, dry under garments to wear.\r\n\r\nFor the first time in my teaching career, I have second graders who are having \"accidents\" and soiling their clothes during lunch or specialists because they do not ask to go to the bathroom. This is a tragedy because our school does not have anything that they can change into. The nurse calls parents to bring clean clothes but usually my kids have to sit in her office until the end of the day or for hours until someone comes. \r\n\r\nMy terrific, at-risk students try very hard every day they come to school but I am afraid that some of them stay home or have to wear pee-stained underpants. Other kids make fun of them because they smell. Please help them. Give them a chance with your donation.

My students need 4 boxes of disposable underwear, 6 packs of boys' briefs in assorted sizes and 2 packs of briefs for girls.

Ozobots for Hands-on Coding
|
My students are amazing! They are incredibly hardworking despite their home situations. Many of my students come from single parent homes and very low income. These students do not have much access to technology apart from an occasional smart phone or tablet. \r\nAll of my students love trying new things and are always willing to participate. I have had some crazy ideas for activities and they always just go along for the ride! They are always eager to work with their peers to collaborate. \r\nPart of the group of students that will benefit from my projects are my ELD students. I always have to work to stretch their thinking. They are learning how to work as a team and respectifully disagree if their ideas do not match their peers. These skills will help them in their future.
|
My students love working on STEM bins that I have prepared in the classroom. They love to be challenged to engineer and create. My students also love to use the technology in our classroom. Currently the only piece of technology my students have access to at school is an iPad. We are lucky to be 1:1 in my classroom. I really feel these Ozobots will be an amazing addition to the technology piece of our STEAM opportunities. My students will also need to use their knowledge of art to draw the lines and color codes for the bot to follow. \r\nI really feel my students will completely fall in love with these little bots but will not realize that they are practing logic and critical thinking skills that will be needed in the job market they will be entering in the future. I am excited to see how they are able to solve problems and persevere to find solutions.
| null | null |
My students need 6 Ozobots to explore coding in a hands on way. This will also integrate art in our STEAM time while the students draw their code for the bot.

Pottery wheels are not always common in an elementary school art class, but I want the unique materials to make art enticing and engaging for my students! I am always looking for new ways to keep visual art in my school different and entertaining. \r\nThe pottery wheel I am requesting will allow students to discover an alternative art medium in my classroom. Pottery goes beyond paint and paper, and gives students the opportunity to explore a new way to create art. \r\nMy students will be excited to see how they can create a 3D shape from clay and they can get their hands dirty!\r\n\r\n\r\n

I teach in a low income/high poverty school where all of my students receive free breakfast and lunch. Most come from single parent households and face challenges and hardships that could prevent them from being successful in school.\r\n\r\nMy students, however, love their classroom community. They are eager to learn new things and they especially love reading and listening to stories!\r\n\r\nOver half of my students are below grade level in reading and math. Many also struggle to show what they know on standardized tests. My goal is to provide them with unique learning experiences, engaging lessons, and to deliver instruction in a way that inspires them to be lifelong learners!

The stability balls will replace most of the chairs in our classroom. Students will be given specific instruction as to what is expected of them when they are using the ball. \r\n\r\nStability balls are a fun way to get the \"wiggles out.\" A 2003 study by the American Journal of Occupational Therapy found that the use of exercise balls improved behavior and legible word productivity among students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. \r\n\r\nThe constant movement required to sit on the balls increases blood flow to the brain leading to better focus. Research has also determined that after 17-20 minutes, we need to move in order to attend to and recall what we are learning. Students will stay focused and engaged during instruction, improving comprehension in all content areas!

Take the Learning Home
|
We have a diverse group of Pre-K students who are ready and excited to learn! With your support they can grow, learn, and spread their excitement for education into their future academic career. Pre-K is a special place for children to build self confidence, learn how to socialize with others, and build key communication skills they will need in the future. \r\n\r\nWe are active learners who love to make new discoveries by exploring our surroundings. It's hard for a four year old to sit and listen for long periods of time. That's why we learn through play! Our classroom materials are essential to our learning process. The materials we play with allow us to role play and reenact what we have learned. Sometimes we try new things and test our theories. We make observations and discuss what we notice. Through our discussions we draw conclusions that help us to make sense of the world.

Our students love the water table and the sand table. My students can stay there forever exploring the sand and water using their senses. By watching and changing how water and sand flow and move they are starting to build a basic understanding of physics. When bubble mix or soap is added to the water, they explore cohesion and build a rudimentary understanding of solutions. As students scoop up cups of water to fill a pitcher, they explore measurement, equivalence, and volume. \r\n\r\nSo why not let the water and sand exploration continue at home? Let's give the students the tools they need to continue their learning. By providing water and sand toys to students and conversation starters to parents, we can encourage the learning to continue! \r\n\r\n

Pool in School!
|
For many students in New York City, playgrounds are not a possibility. Many schools are housed in buildings where the only space available for students during lunch is the cafeteria. I would like to get a pool table so my students can have a more engaging lunchtime experience.
|
My students are predominantly African American and Latino. Virtually all of the students at my school qualify for free lunch.\r\nMany students enter our school multiple grade levels behind in literacy and math. However, my students are tremendously intelligent, and they are passionate about the arts. Because my school has a music and art theme, many of my students are singers, dancers, or musicians. Each of my students has a unique voice, and they are incredibly brave about taking positive risks for the sake of personal expression.
|
I truly believe that a pool table will benefit my students on many levels. Firstly, playing pool will be a great way for teachers and students to bond while having fun. In addition, the table will allow students to burn off energy in ways that promote a positive school culture. Lastly, the table will be instrumental in fending off the boredom that can often set in when students do not have anything to do during lunch.
|
Some of my fondest memories from growing up involve playing pool with the adults in my life.\r\nThis table will allow for the creation of similar bonding experiences with my current students. Pool will go a long way towards making my students' lunch periods both fun and memorable!

My students need a pool table and accessories to use during lunch and after school.

The students in my class are in elementary school for the first time. This is a transitional kindergarten class so most of the students are 4 years old. They are excited about school. They enjoy art projects, dancing, singing and playing. They are happy and joyful and I want to encourage them to love coming to school each day by ensuring that they have fun and interesting activities. They have a natural curiosity that makes teaching them so much fun!
|
Starting off the year with supplies to enhance learning in our class will help encourage students to love coming to school. Since this is transitional kinder, a lot of the learning is through play. These supplies will be used to encourage learning in a fun way.\r\n The word journals will be used to introduce the alphabet to the students. They get to pick their own words and draw a picture. The Play-Doh will be used in the center rotations. The Play-Doh math game allows students to learn about number sense while they play with their friends. The folders will be used for their weekly letter.

Our school is an alternative K-8 school in the San Francisco Unified School District. The school serves an urban, linguistically and culturally diverse student body with approximately 44.9% Latino students, 10.5% African America, 11.2% Filipino, 13% white, and 1.8% Pacific Islander. Our school was designated a Small School by Design in an effort to build stronger relationships with students and their families. The school is composed of approximately 290 students and focuses heavily on a project based approach to learning. Since it's founding in 1972 the school has been a teacher-run school. The emphasis on teacher leadership is unprecedented in today's schools and translates to our students' academic experiences. We strive to provide students with leadership opportunities too! Trust among teachers, students, and families develops over time. The Small School by Design designation develops and strengthens these bonds. Our students are willing to take risks with teachers and peers because we have worked hard to develop a community. In turn students show a deep commitment to learn and grow.

Reliable access to technology through a powerful and dependable computer is at the heart of a well functioning classroom. A MacBook Pro enhances teaching and learning by providing three key classroom functions.\r\nFirst, a MacBook Pro serves as an invaluable teacher resource. A reliable computer provides consistent access to curriculum materials, email communication with parents and teachers, managing and organizing student grades, and the ability to create and manage daily lesson plans. \r\nSecond, a MacBook Pro is an essential instructional tool. LED projectors and powerful computers have become the most relied upon technology in business. Our schools are working to utilize their power in the classroom. However, power and performance matter! MacBooks require very little maintenance, perform dependably over time, and have the power to run complex software. The devices provided to teachers often perform poorly and access is limited as many teachers share these valuable resources. \r\nLast, a MacBook Pro provides access to the educational technologies that have the potential to transform mathematics education. Interactive programs allow for immediate response formative assessment allowing teachers to tailor instruction to the individual needs of students. Additionally, students can engage in number and pattern talks, use virtual math manipulatives, create dynamic graphs, and use virtual tools and apps such as GeoGebra, Desmos, and other programs to engage in interactive exploration of math concepts. \r\n

My students need a MacBook Pro to provide dependable access to the latest technologies in mathematics education. GeoGebra, Desmos and other apps provide interactive, engaging experiences for students to explore a variety of math content.

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, I see the problems and challenges that our students are faced with both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I want to give them multiple pathways to have access to meaningful learning experiences. \r\nI often feel silly asking for donations with all the other problems our children are facing like hunger and homelessness but I understand that education is the key to change in their lives. I also have great interest in our students contributing positively to our nation instead of being just another statistic. \r\n

Our Beginners will have stories read aloud to them and our advanced children will be creating stories. The goal is to reach those beginners and help them to take off and to stretch those advanced students to reach their full potential. \r\nThe beginners often don't have access to the curriculum and the advanced students at times can be bored with the curriculum but technology can change all of this. Chrome books would give the beginner students access to books that they would otherwise not have access to during independent reading. As far as the advanced students, during writing they would have access to technology to do research and write stories for our class/ school newspaper that we want to get off the ground.

My students come from underprivileged homes to my classroom each weekday. Some of them come to school hungry, tired, and with devastating situations at home. \r\nWhen they are with me, I want them to be able to escape the realities of home and be able to focus solely on their achievement. I want to make sure they are well prepared for the day without having to worry about what is going on at home. My goal is that my students are happy and productive learners.\r\n\r\n

Imagine coming to school for the first time ever, sitting in class, excited but also very nervous about who your teacher will be, will you make friends, will everyone like me? \r\nNow imagine the teacher asking you to get out your crayons for an activity and you do not have them. Now get out your scissors to cut out shapes, you do not have them. Some student comes to school with enough baggage from home, they should not have to worry about having the supplies needed to get them though the school year. \r\n \r\nThese supplies will be used daily to help the students complete everyday assignments that will challenge their learning and help them succeed.

Re-KINDLE Learning
|
My second grade classroom is a place filled with learning, creativity, challenges and success! During second grade, students in my class have high expectations not only from their teachers, but from the state (standards) as well. \r\n\r\nMy students are smart, innovative and creative they are always coming up with new ideas to implement into our classroom. They are hard working and strive to do their best. They are learning new and enhancing old skills as well as fostering independence as they prepare for third grade.
|
By second grade, my students need a strong foundation and thorough understanding of math skills such as basic addition and subtraction facts, number sense and place value, money value and more. I have found that many students are behind in math skills by the time they reach second grade, which makes second grade math concepts more difficult.\r\nThese Kindle Fire's, along with research based program, Moby Max, will give my students more chances to build upon their math foundation in the classroom.\r\nIn addition to math, the Kindle Fire's, Moby Max and other apps will allow students to build and enhance other skill areas such as reading comprehension, phonics, spelling and writing.\r\n
| null | null |
My students need Kindle Fire's to allow my students more access and more time to work on their level of math skills.

A...A...Alphabet Tubs
|
Remember your first day of school and bursting with excitement!\r\nMy creative, imaginative, high-energy students come from diverse backgrounds. Our learning community pulls from apartments of inner city and rural farms. With this diversity in backgrounds we have 77% free or reduced lunch in our populations. Despite these diverse backgrounds, these kindergarteners come to school eager to learn and a desire to achieve. We greet each other and promise to make this the best day. It may just learning a few more English words or reading the first chapter in book. \r\nIn my classroom, I hope to guide each child to reach their learning potential. Students set personal goals for different aspects of their lives. To do this, we learn using action and discovery everyday with experiments, life lessons, books, and questioning. They are learning how to be learners.
|
Learning the alphabet can be very challenging. It is even more challenging when English is your second language. Many students come from backgrounds of limited English and literacy experiences, specifically learning their alphabet. \r\nMy project will make a difference because the letter tubs are perfect for giving students hands-on exploration of letters and sounds. We will mix the items up and have students try to sort them into the correct letter sounds. This requires cooperation and problem-solving skills. Being able to touch and feel objects helps them use many parts of their brains to store the letter sounds into memory. This will help them develop pre-reading skills necessary to be successful throughout school.

My students need The Alphabet Sounds Teaching Tubs to have hands-on learning manipulatives to help explore the alphabet.

The Cafe-Inspired Classroom
|
Our little school is nestled in a quaint and quiet neighborhood in northern Maryland. We are a culturally diverse school with students who are highly gifted to students with a range of special needs. The students in my classroom find it empowering to be able to choose how they will demonstrate what they have learned by being aware of their individually unique learning styles. My students actively engage in the learning if provided with the optimum environment to do so.
|
Imagine that you are nine-years-old and about to start the fourth grade. Upon finding your classroom, you have already envisioned what it looks like. You imagine the desks, chairs, and bookcases with books neatly stacked on the shelves. Most likely your teacher has assigned you a seat by writing your name on a nameplate. You secretly hope you are seated with a friend or two. Finally, you have reached your destination and enter the room.\r\n\r\n\"Is this a classroom or a Starbucks?\" Your first thoughts as you enter my classroom. This is exactly what I, your fourth-grade teacher, want you to think. Even more surprisingly, I tell you to sit where you feel that you will be able to learn best. Gone are the many desks, chairs, and nameplates. Rather, I want to create the optimum learning environment for ALL my students. Some need to bounce and fidget on the stability balls. While others may prefer to lounge on the bean bag chairs. Others may need to stand to feel more comfortable. Of course, we will have tables with chairs; even desks for those who prefer to sit at such. The goal is to create a learning environment that empowers student choice, increases student engagement, and enhances student participation.

My students need to have flexible seating options that will help them to focus on their learning. Some need to bounce while others find it helpful to lounge.

Get Your Feet In The Game!
|
The girls basketball team at our high school are hard working and just beginning to develop a love for the sport. Culturally, the preferred sport is soccer in our all Latino community in Chicago. Students have never been exposed to the dedication required in order to be a part of a competitive basketball team.\r\nThe 16 girls come from a low income neighborhood of Chicago. If given the chance to learn the sport of basketball, they will increase their skills on and off the court.
|
Our current team of 16 girls does not own basketball shoes which will provide proper support to be successful on the court. Students in our population generally have to pay sports fees, buy uniform clothes, and uniform shoes. In an low income area it is difficult to ask and require families to provide students with basketball shoes.\r\n\r\nThese particular students have not had the fortune of growing up in a community that loves and values the sport of basketball. The girls will have confidence in their new apparel, in addition to being better able to prevent any sports related injuries. Students that look and feel great playing a new sport will also feel proud to be wearing matching gear as their teammates.

I serve some very bright-eyed gifted students. These students are hungry for information. It's my job they get fed on a daily, no hourly, basis. I have a duty to help these students find their voice, discover their passions, and bring real-world skills to both. \r\n\r\nWe have done marvelous things in class, and I want this to continue with the new batch of students I'll be serving this upcoming year. But, that means we often need help from people outside our class to see this occur.

These two Chrome Books will help complete our Reading and Math stations. Students will be able to utilize our individualized tutoring program that automatically accelerates their learning. The students will be able to complete independent research on projects, including their Passion Projects (a project of their choice that will be taught to the class). Our biggest use will come in the form of our class' digital newspaper. Students will use these laptops to research and write their articles for our monthly publication. All-in-all these Chrome Books will be utilized in every aspect of our class. They will be very beneficial. \r\n

STEM Project-Racing with the Sun: Creating a Solar Powered Car
|
Our students are a diverse bunch of kids. Although technically from a \"suburban\" district, our kids are from various socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Many of our students are severely disadvantaged when it comes to finances and parental support. We seek to close the gap and provide the highest quality education for all students. \r\n\r\nAs a STEM teacher, I service every type of kid from the most advanced to students with special needs. We are always looking for ways to strengthen their critical thinking and problem solving skills-skills they will NEED in the real world! I have the pleasure of teaching a project-based curriculum with a focus on the engineering design process. I am always looking for ways to ignite my students interest in a project or subject area.
|
Students will use the engineering design process to construct and test a fully solar powered model car. Building and testing a solar car combines aspects of electrical and mechanical engineering. Students will learn how to connect the photovoltaic panel to a motor and run it forward and backward. Students will also test gear ratio, angle of the solar panel, weight of the car and other variables to optimize their design. The testing of the solar car culminates in a solar race between classmates. This project is part of a semester of projects that focus on alternative energy in STEM class.

A Magic Carpet Ride to Community
|
Our elementary school is a growing, dynamic neighborhood school of about 350 students in Corvallis, Oregon. It is a Title 1 school and has a wide range of students from diverse backgrounds: socioeconomically, racially, and culturally. It seeks to provide a rich, engaging curriculum while encouraging positive behavior. It celebrates abilities and believes in the possibilities of students. My classroom will be an extension of these ideals and goals...a place to be brave, be kind, celebrate mistakes and work hard.
|
Who knew a carpet could be a key element to learning, growth, discussion and building community?! Indeed that 9x12 space can be a sacred space. A place where real conversations can happen. A spot for kids to go deeper with their thinking and wonderings. \r\n\r\nTime on the carpet can offer students a place to learn the value of active listening to truly understand another. A place to practice student structured talk in a safe environment where making mistakes is ok and metacognition is celebrated. Providing adequate space that is clearly organized with set expectations can lead to deeper learning and opportunities for classroom bonding...like MAGIC. I would also love to provide a place to display engaging books that tie in with our current thematic units. The front display bookshelf will make this possible in an engaging way.

Computers For Learning
|
As a teacher in a high poverty school district, many of my students are facing several challenges both in and out of the classroom community. The biggest challenge to many of them is the lack of technology that they are able to use and practice on. \r\n\r\nMany of my students families cannot afford to have internet in their homes or technology equipment at home to use. My students ask daily about using computers. Well, we have 22 laptops to share between 200+ students. So their opportunities are few and far between. \r\n\r\nI want to be able to help my students practice their reading and math skills. I want them to enjoy learning and utilize their knowledge on academic games. \r\n
|
I am hoping for at least 6 Chromebooks in order for students to use them during center time. But some are better than none. These will be used daily during math and reading centers to enhance the learning targets that students are working on. They will also be used during intervention with students needing more targeted practice.\r\n\r\nMost of my students do not have access to technology at home and we do not have any type of computers in the classroom for them to use.\r\nWe have 22 laptops that are shared between 10 classrooms. So, using them on a daily basis is not doable.\r\n\r\nI am hoping I will be able to give my students at least a little practice with utilizing technology.

My students are in kindergarten, first, second and third grade. They are primarily students with learning disabilities and/or students who speak a language other than English at home. They come from a variety of backgrounds and struggle academically. I provide instruction in small groups and work closely with their teachers to make sure they get what they need. Together we aim to These students need specialized instruction to bridge the gap between their academic level and the expected grade level benchmarks. \r\n\r\n

Having the right atmosphere and materials makes a big difference. These materials will help create the ideal environment for literacy learning! \r\n\r\nThe U-shaped table and student chairs puts all students in reach of the teacher! By sitting in this formation, I can see what all of my students are doing while reading. I can easily jump in and help them when sitting this close.\r\n\r\nLiteracy games are engaging and motivating! \r\n\r\nThe work station is ideal for modeling and allowing students to model for each other. The whiteboard is also magnetic to use with magnetic letters. Building and manipulating letters on a large scale is a great way for kids to really learn about building words and sentences. \r\n\r\n

The Wave of the Future
|
I first want to thank you for taking the time to read my profile and learning a little about myself and my scholars. This is my 2nd year teaching and I love every minute of it. I became a teacher because I wanted a career that made a difference. I knew when I became a teacher I would have to purchase some things out of my own pocket but I had no idea how many things I would end up purchasing. \r\n\r\nI teach a Lee Elementary, which is a title 1 school. This means a high percentage of our students live in low income households. Basic school supplies, food, clothes, hygiene products, etc are things that our students sometimes don't have access to on a regular bases. At times these are things the school or myself have provided. \r\n\r\nAlthough my scholars may have some disadvantages, they also have high hopes and contagious spirits. They come to school with smiles on their faces, greet me with hugs, do their best and are eager to learn everyday. I want to give my students access to different experiences and help them create a bright future for themselves.
|
Our world is forever changing and technology is big part of that. My school only has two computer labs and they are to be shared with the entire school. Lee is one of the largest elementary schools in Grand Prairie and its difficult to get access to a computer lab on a regular bases. Many times when we actually get access to computers it's for testing purposes and we have no technology in the classroom.\r\n\r\nGiving low-income students access to new technology is an investment in their future. If I had a set of ipads for my classroom, my scholars could become familiar with commonly used technology. Also scholars could expand of classroom lessons and learning. \r\n\r\nMany scholars only have access to technology at school. These ipads would insure scholars are being equipped with the right tools to compete with their peers and secure a bright future.\r\n

When you walk into my classroom you will see pictures of students having fun and learning hanging on the walls.\r\n\r\nI teach at a Title 1 School in New Haven where 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. Our school offers extended after school programs for students who need a safe place to be while their parents work. We also have a special attendance program at our school that lets parents and students know the importance of coming to school everyday.\r\n\r\n

Throughout the school year, students use their creativity to make all sorts of projects that demonstrate their learning. \r\nPosters, mobiles, dioramas and other wonderful projects are all waiting to be created with these helpful supplies.\r\nThe students also need book bags for their individual reading books. This organization will help students transition smoothly into reading time. A mobile literacy book cart will allow students to seamlessly find books at their reading level. Classroom organization leads to more instruction time and it provides students with a secure feeling of having daily routines. My second grade class also does a unit study on different countries. The Children Around the World book set will provide them with resources to conduct the research needed to create a project about their chosen country of study.\r\n

UnLOCKing Student Learning about Plant Mass and Growth
|
I work in a public school that serves a diverse population of students. The STEM lab serves K through 5th grade. There is a wide variety of academic levels, as well as a wide range of interests in my class. My students are highly motivated and hardworking children. Some may have more scientific and math knowledge than others, but providing engaging and motivating hands-on experiences in the lab allows all my students success. Students get an \"insider's view\" of how engineers apply mathematical skills and scientific knowledge to solve problems. Two clubs that are offered through the STEM lab are Robotics and STLP.
|
Kids are going crazy over BREAKOUT in our town. I want to create a similar sense of urgency in the classroom as the student unLOCK their learning. I plan to create a line of inquiry project where students are following clues to develop an understanding about plant mass and growth. This project will lead them through our garden and innovations in our school that support the environment. \r\nAs students gain a new understanding of plant growth and mass, they will receive clues to literally unlock more information that will support their studies. I think the kids will be highly engaged following this line of inquiry that takes shape as a mystery that is unlocked. Not only will they be learning about plants and the environment and the sustainability that comes with gardening, they will be having fun thinking critically and breaking the codes and clues to unLOCK their learning.

Make Classroom Reading Authentic and Enjoyable Again
|
Our students are incredibly motivated, hard-working, and caring individuals. They travel to our school from low-income neighborhoods all over Chicago and represent an incredibly diverse student body. While our students face many challenges outside of school, they come to school every day and work incredibly hard to better themselves and our school community. \r\nIn the past few years, our school underwent a lot of change and hardship; however, we finally have a permanent administration, a rapidly improving school quality rating, and a body of teachers, students, and parents dedicated to continuing to improve our school. We are excited to continue to grow our students' love of reading and writing as a means to assert their own agency and power in the world.
|
So often in our schools the joy is removed from reading and students read in uncomfortable or rigid set-ups. This tends to make reading time a time that students want to avoid. To shift this paradigm, our plan is to create an independent reading time where students select their own texts and to work to transform the classroom environment to make reading time more authentic and enjoyable.\r\nWith these bean bag chairs, we will be creating a community circle for shared reading experiences and making them available during independent reading time to help students get into the \"reading zone\" and make reading time a more enjoyable and personal time for students. Classroom environment is so important to creating a strong and connected classroom, and we are excited to improve the quality of ours! Thank you, in advance, for your donation to our kids growing literacy!

The average U.S. student is sitting at school an average of 4.5 hours a day. For kids ages 8-18, an additional 7 hours a day in front of a screen, regardless of socioeconomic status. Combine the sitting at school in front of a screen with driving to school, doing homework, and eating meals, and kids are sitting 85% of their waking hours! \r\n \r\nResearchers are finding out that sitting is causing disease, negatively impacting learning, and contributing a nation that is over weight.

When entering my classroom my students carry the weight of everyday life. When I push them towards greatness they struggle due to the history they have had with other institutions, adults, and teachers. I teach at a school which is predominantly low-income latina/os who come from diverse neighborhoods, some even taking two busses to get to the school. Despite these obstacles these students believe in themselves and their greatness. They are embarking on a journey to develop the skills necessary to become the future educators and community leaders that our community needs! My students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school so they can build connections that will last a lifetime and to learn the tools necessary to transform the world around them.

My students will be embarking on a new course this year entitled \"Critical Reading and Writing for Social change\"\r\nIn this course it is imperative they have access to the newest books breaking down social change in the 21st century. This text is easily going to make the role of individuals like themselves shine through and empower them to create their own social changes. Without these texts we would be unable to cover the diverse range of social movements in U.S. and global history. This book would also be a bridge for students to take what they have learned and apply it to the communities they live in with community action projects.

WANTED: School Supplies
|
My students are talented and creative! They also have very difficult lives. Unfortunately, they are in a school where over 80% of our school population lives at or below the poverty level. \r\n\r\nGetting their daily needs met can be a challenge. It is a difficult task to teach students to love school because living in the city is quite a challenging experience. Working in an inner city I get to see a variety of challenges. I see students who do not have many basic needs being met at home. Missing a meal or wearing dirty clothes is a common occurrence. Even with this type of hardship, they come to school with a smile on their face!

Every year my students need so many things to get the school year started off right. Getting those supplies should be a fun and exciting time but for so many of my students it is not. Getting school supplies can be difficult to afford for my families.\r\n\r\nI would love to be able to hand out new supplies like pencils, markers, paper, and scissors. Their faces will light up when they receive these new items. Nothing is better than a new pencil, fresh piece of paper, and a great journal to use during the school year! Each child will receive their own pencil box. They will be able to keep their things safe. We will also be able to sharpen our pencils, this seems so basic but it is something we desperately need. They will read, write, add and subtract with the help of these wonderful supplies. Our classroom will grow with excitement with the help of these supplies!

I've dedicated my teaching career to working with at-risk youth. I feel as though the greatest impact a teacher can make is helping those children that society seems to have forgotten. Majority of my students are two or more grade levels behind in math and reading. \r\nI was hired for my skillset in teaching math. Skill alone won't get the job done. Children have to be in charge of their learning. I am putting this project together to have materials in the classroom that peak the students' interest, which are technologically based materials. \r\n
|
These materials will give my students access to technology that they have little to no experience with. The ipads and chromebooks will be used during math centers, as well as during RTI. My goal is to have an ipad in every students hand before the end of the year. For now, rotation will be a great starting point. \r\n\r\nStudents of today are no longer into lecturing, book-work, and pencil and paper. Many of the children I work with don't value education. I've had parents tell me that their child's sports comes before homework. If we want to reach them, they have to be in charge of their learning. We can't force it upon them. The only way they will take charge is by getting them engaged and desiring to do the learning activities each day.

Chromebook Creators
|
Our dream is to be Chromebook creators! We are living in the times of smart phones, tablets, and computers. Paper and pencil work is coming to be a thing of the past. Help my students use technology for academic purposes by putting computers directly in our room. Help my classroom to become paperless!\r\n\r\nTechnology has become the center of people's attention.\r\nYet, students in American public school students have access to an average of 1 computer for every 3.8 students. Students in low income areas are missing out on learning key skills to become successful citizens. Technology fluency is crucial to their success. But, in order to practice these skills in English, Science, Social Studies, Math, or any other class, students must have consistent access. Only 60% of students have access to the internet at home. Many use their phones, but typing an essay on a phone versus a computer is incredibly difficult. Help us better support our learners by placing computers in our classroom so students can have access to research, reading, writing, and multimedia materials on a daily basis. Each year, as we increase our technology, we move closer to our paperless dream!\r\n
|
Research shows that students need increased access to technology in academia. Being in a low economic area has decreased my student’s access. On a daily basis, these requested 3 Acer Chromebook computers will be used for instruction. Having daily access to these materials allows instruction to include technology skills, and pushes us towards using Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Forms, Google Classroom, and other apps that help students practice using more technology and less paper products!\r\n\r\nPart of being ready to become an effective member of society is the knowledge of technology.\r\nHaving direct access on a daily basis can make the difference between publications, academic recognition, a complete essay, and practicing basic skills like sending an email and attaching a document.\r\nThe students need to be able to use computers effectively for real world careers, but some students are not able to get that experience at home. Using technology can be a great motivator for all students. Please help to make my students Chromebook creators.\r\n

Technology Gives My Students a Voice!
|
I am a speech therapist working in a District 75 low-income elementary school for children with special needs. My students are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and are nonverbal or minimally verbal, making it extremely difficult for them to effectively communicate with others. These students require technology and visual aids to communicate their basic wants and needs, as well as to appropriately engage in curriculum tasks throughout the school day. Without the use of apps and visual supports from an iPad and laptop, my students struggle to connect with their teachers and peers. They all have something to say, and we have to give them a voice to say it!
|
Ipads and laptops are not only so motivating and fun for my students, but they provide multiple ways to expose them to literacy, comprehension, and academic tasks through various apps. There are also communication apps that can give my students a voice to say, “I need help” with the press of a button. In addition, a laptop would allow me to access picture symbols and communication boards for students who need them throughout the day to answer questions, greet their peers, and tell me what they need.\r\n\r\nAs a speech therapist, it is my job to provide opportunities for my students to show their voice and communicate their wants and needs. Technology truly helps me to do this most effectively! So, please help and support this project so that my students can be the best communicators they can be!\r\n

iPad Grant Add-on
|
A passion for learning! My 22 kindergarten students are a lively group of children who represent various backgrounds. In the homes of my students alone, there are five different languages being spoken! Seeking to support the individual needs of my students has led me to the use of iPads in small groups. Hands-on technology, developmentally appropriate apps, repeated exposure, learning games, student interest, visuals...are all supported by iPad use among kindergarten students. These strategies benefit all young children, but the dual-language learners possibly have the most to gain as we strive to close the exposure gap.\r\n\"The best use of iPads is probably in elementary and special education classes because the devices are so easy to use, said Nick Sauers of Iowa State University’s Center for the Advanced Study of Technology Leadership in Education.\" Student engagement is high with the educational apps that are available. Children are independent in their learning and advocate for themselves as they easily navigate the apps that are chosen by the teacher and pre-loaded onto the iPads.

Our classroom received funding through Donors Choose for our ABC's and 1,2,3's with iPads project. The project was funded in three days by donations from family and friends, and matching funds from our local Education Foundation and Donors Choose. Now that we have our three iPads and protective cases ordered, we need additional supplies to aid in their use. We need six headphones, three headphone splitters, and a charging station/cables for our classroom. Students will be taught procedures for managing these materials and correct storage, so that this technology can benefit future kindergarten students at our school. Thank you for your donations!

We Like to Celebrate Learning!
|
My students come from a variety of backgrounds. They are excited to learn and thrive in our school's safe and caring environment. The school is full of dedicated teachers, staff, families, and students. \r\n\r\nWe are nearing 600 students, and we are committed to providing a rigorous and engaging environment for each child. Our community is very supportive, and our school morale is high! \r\n\r\nOur students are very interested in learning and being successful! 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. I want to give my first grade students a great start to their long journey of learning!
|
I want every student to feel special each day and especially on their birthday! I like to create a birthday package for each child including: a birthday crown, glitter (used to decorate the crowns), wristband, Dr. Seuss bookmark and pencil to be given to students on their birthday as a way to make them stand out and shine. The gold coins and \"I Was Caught Being Good!\" coins will be used to recognize students for their effort and hard work throughout the school year. They really enjoy showing off their prizes that they can carry with them. These little acknowledgements make a big difference in the daily lives of my students!

Our Bio-Sustainable Classroom\r\nFrom Worms to Beans
|
Our public charter school serves K-8 students from a rural Colorado community. Approximately 40% of our students are covered by Free and Reduced Lunch programs. We often attract families with students who have struggled in other schools or those seeking a smaller school environment.\r\n\r\nOur students love hands-on learning! They love seeing connections between all their curricular classes from science to math to social studies to language arts. This is especially true when they can see how their every day lives are impacted by science and math.
|
In 2012, our class received funding from Donor's Choose for our project \"Worms Will Eat Our Garbage!\" I'm happy to report that as we go into our 5th school year, that worm bin has been home to generations of worms and has served our studies of Ecosystems, decomposition, worm anatomy and behavior, and even our \"how to use a microscope\" lessons. The nutrient rich vermicast/vermicompost that we have harvested from the bin has mostly supported my own gardening endeavors at home as we did not have a growing environment where we could use the vermicast at school.\r\n\r\nStudents have suggested a classroom garden where we could put that vermicast to good use. At the end of last year, my classroom received a \"Back to the Roots Water Garden\" which is based on plant roots reaching into the nutrient rich water of a fish tank. With experimentation in mind, it is time for the dream of a classroom garden to become a reality. With this project, we will invest in a full study of plant growth and nutrition. The shelving unit will give our fish tank a home and provide space for plants to grow on one level with grow lights to assist and on another level without the grow lights, just the natural sunlight coming through the windows. Students will be able to mix harvested vermicast from the worm bin in with soil to produce optimal growing conditions for the plants. From a math standpoint, we can measure temperature, plant growth, and play with the ratio of soil to vermicast. We can water plants with \"vermicast tea.\" Ultimately, we will eat the produce from the garden with scraps going back into the worm bin!

Makerspace STEM projects-ATPE
|
My students live in a diverse community, ethnically, socially, and economically. They are 7 and 8 year olds who love to learn, but want to have fun doing it. At this age, the students love to move and use technology. Their imaginations run wild and allow them to think critically in almost every setting. My students are technologically advanced in this day where technology is a necessity. \r\nMy students are curious! They want to learn more and more about things they are interested in and the people who have made history. We work hard but everyone works to the best of their ability and learns at their ability level.
|
Our class would like to start a Makerspace/Genius Hour time. Having materials for the students to start designing actual projects that are relative to things they have learned and read about will get the brain juices flowing. Makerspace allows the students to plan, design, and create things. They're curiosity and creativity is free to move with whatever materials they are given. \r\nThese STEM projects will aid the students in their learning and creativity. Makerspace/Genius Hour time in our class will allow freedom to learn about things they are interested in and create what they would like to. This STEM box is cross curricular in that it connects math and science to their reading.

Our school is a Title I school in Casper, Wyoming. Although, our free and reduced lunch population has remained around 55% over the last several years, our city/state has recently felt the effects of not only the oil and gas downturn, but also of the reduction of coal production. We are bracing ourselves for a large reduction in state and district funding in the upcoming school year(s) with the knowledge and desire to still meet student needs.\r\n\r\nThirty six students enter our third grade classrooms everyday with a variety of needs, background knowledge, and goals to achieve. Even though we have two grade level teachers with two separate classrooms the students are all considered both of ours. All students can often be found in just one of our classrooms completing writing activities, working on group projects, conducting research, celebrating goals that have been met, etc. \r\n\r\nThroughout the day, our students can often be heard partner working, participating in caring community talks, singing/dancing to music (educational, of course), encouraging each other, and practicing strategies that will help them be successful in their day to day lives. We truly believe we teach the most amazing 3rd graders every school year!
|
Here in Wyoming, we experience several days of indoor recess, because of the rain, wind, or snow (and even occasionally lightning or forest fire smoke). It would be so wonderful for our third graders to have equipment that could be used in the gym or in our classroom on these days, so they would still be receiving physical activity.\r\n\r\nThese fun games and supplies would not only provide our students with physical activity, but they would also help reinforce team building and good sportsmanship (one of our core values).\r\n\r\nAlso, these materials could be used in the fall and spring to take our students outside to enjoy wonderful outdoor Wyoming. We could bring these materials to the park on our field trip days or as a reward; or just use them on our playground. \r\n\r\nWe would greatly appreciate any your help in providing our students with the opportunity to use these materials!

I am blessed to have 9 super special education students that I work with from grades 1 to grades 6. My school is in a large urban district where finances are cut shorter every day. Due to my students' various disablities, often school supplies fall to the wayside being replaced with other daily needs. My students deserve so much more that my school's budget allows. As their teacher, I get to enjoy watching them grow as both academic and social young people. In my classroom, they are not treated differently than their typically developing peers. I have these students for 6 years, so each year we are constantly changing things up.
|
My students (and district for that matter) do not have a set science curriculum. As special education students even when science curriculum is available we are the last to get it and there usually isn't enough. With having multiple student gardens, it will not only teach students about the life cycles of different types of plants, but it will teach them to be responsible for something living. By including curriculum pieces (books, math, puzzles) it will help solidify their learning as it takes someone to be exposed to something over 30 times for it to \"stick\". They will be writing, reading, and activily planting and hopfully finding a love for something outdoors!

We are an innovative Kindergarten-8th grade public charter school located in Chicago’s McKinley Park neighborhood. Since our inception in 2004, the school has developed and strengthened its groundbreaking model to combat the diverse challenges facing children growing up in Chicago’s under served communities. More than 85% of our students come from low-income households and 90% are Latino or African American, groups that face disproportionately high overweight and obesity rates and often lack access to high-quality educational experiences.\r\n\r\nOur school is making a measurable difference in children’s lives by implementing and sharing a groundbreaking approach to education that combines health and wellness with academic rigor in a peaceful environment.
|
Continued district budget cuts have drastically impacted our schools and our classrooms. Teachers in our school are no longer able to purchase things like pens for publishing writing or post-its for our students, simple materials that other school districts provide for their classrooms. These classroom materials will be used for end of unit projects. The book sets will help students have more variety for independent reading time to help foster a love for reading\r\nWe don't ask doctors or nurses to pay for their own medical or surgical equipment.\r\nWe don't ask pilots to pay for their fuel. In schools across the nation we ask teachers to supply their own classrooms, THANK YOU for considering this project and helping to brighten our classroom!

My school is a public middle school in an urban area of California with about 600 students in grades 6-8. 56% of the student population receives free or reduced price lunch. It is a diverse school that is 11% Asian, 19% Latino, 30% African American, 25% Caucasian, and 15% other. Over 33 languages are represented in our student population and their families. \r\n\r\nEven though the achievement gap has been decreased, there is still a 200-point difference between the highest and lowest performers. In the past 5 years, the school has increased our API score by 150 points.\r\n\r\nIn addition to academics, students participate in a wide range of after school activities from tutoring to athletics to clubs. More than 40% of students participate on 17 sports teams. About 100 students are enrolled in music/band classes. Our drama troupe has more than 40 students involved in putting on school productions. Many students are also engaged in one of our other interest clubs including film, chess, and mentoring.

Much of our science equipment is old and breaking. The science students in our middle school really need use of newer and better equipment as we transition to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). \r\n\r\nIn our science program, we love to perform a variety of science experiments as an educational but fun way to learn the content. Before NGSS, students only used microscopes in 7th grade to study life science. Now, with an integrated science curriculum in each middle school grade, students will make use of microscopes in every year. They will start with cells in 6th followed by ecosystems in 7th and evolution/genetics in 8th. All of the students in our school will benefit from purchasing upgraded microscopes. There are a few teachers in our school currently writing grants to buy part of a class set of microscopes that we will all share in our science classes. \r\n\r\nThe other equipment in this grant will be used in different experiments. The balance beam is used for measuring mass when studying concepts like density. The soil thermometers will be used in our 6-week long plant growth project to measure one variable affecting the plant's success. The calculators will be used to calculate force and velocity of moving objects.

My students are come from a diverse background, all eager to learn in a rigorous environment that provides the tools for learning. The best way to help increase the rigor in my math classroom is to increase the access to technology that aids inquiry work and experience for my students. \r\n\r\nMy goal each year for 6th grade math is to help students learn that math really can be fun! As my students come from diverse backgrounds, access to technology at home is uneven. Providing opportunities to learn how to use technology as an educational resource at school is key in ensuring future academic success.

The students in my class have heterogeneous learning styles and myriad learning needs. Though may students have access to traditional technology at home and at school, the Surface Pro Tablet will help students explore math through technology in increased ways.\r\n\r\nA Surface Pro Tablet will help students begin to use technology in mathematics class to help solve real-world problems. As 6th grade mathematics touches on introduction to Algebra and Geometry, the tablet will help students explore these mathematical concepts in new non-traditional ways. \r\n\r\nIn my classroom I offer students opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of mathematical concepts. The Surface Pro Tablet will allow for increased ways for students to research their questions and then demonstrate their understanding of the concepts.

\"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.\" - Dr. Seuss\r\n\r\nMy students are a group of six and seven-year-old students who are excited about learning new things and facing new challenges. Although we are a small district, we have a wonderful school made up of students, parents, teachers, and administrators who believe in working together to increase student achievement. We are part of a small district in Arkansas and 75% of our students qualify for free or reduced-price meals. \r\n

My students need an iPad mini, a protective case, and a Chromebook for their listening center for economic education. Some of the topics addressed in the books read online will address: saving, savings goals, interest, borrowing, and opportunity cost. These books and games available to my students online will also allow us to spend time on many standards, including number lines. Number lines have been a difficult concept for some of my students this year and I believe these books and games will allow each of my students to gain meaningful experiences that can strengthen their current skills. Additionally, by using the iPad mini, I predict that my students will be able to work together to strengthen their economic skills through educational apps as well as research. Donating to this project can help me tighten the gaps that some students face. Funding this project will allow my students to be more actively engaged in Economic lessons. Additionally, my students' lives will be changed for the better by their ability to read, research, and participate in lessons that will build better decision making skills in the real world.

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. All of my students receive free lunch and our classroom is multicultural, with students coming from all over the world. We strive to create a community amongst ourselves and to push each other to reach their highest potential. We dedicate ourselves to our education and believe that with all things are possible once we put our minds to it. \r\nMy students are bright and even if they do not come from the best circumstances, they give their all everyday.

The algebra and geometry tiles will help students to solve equations, these hands on materials will allow them to make math tangible. Most students need to review these concepts and have the math reinforced and these materials will help do just that. The white boards, chalk and chalkboards help students to participate in classroom activities, without feeling embarrassment if their answer is wrong. The biggest hurdle in math is confidence in your abilities. In math, students make many mistakes so pencils, paper and highlighters are necessary tools to ensure success.

Rise Above Chaos and Let's Read!
|
Literacy surrounds the world we live but imagine living in a world where the words around you made no sense? The chaos that swirls around your brain is unimaginable. No child or person should have to live like this! \r\n\r\nEach and everyday, little lovies enter my door to explore language on a whole new level! Together we RISE ABOVE THE CHAOS and break down the crazy \"English Language\" and learn to fall in love with reading! Interacting, moving and connecting with language is our daily goal to create lifelong little readers in a print-rich world that is forever changing around us! \r\n\r\n
|
These materials will help to unlock the combinations of letters and sounds that build words through visual, hands-on and stimulating materials. The Color Kidfetti will allow my students to write and feel the correct letter formation with their fingers. The Montessori Phonetic Blocks will provide opportunities to manipulate letters and sounds to create real and pseudo words on their own. In addition, soft seat options and kick bands will provide fidget movement for any child that requires an extra outlet. The ability to allow physical movement while learning will help to embed the skills my lovies require to be lifelong readers.

My students need interactive letter building and sensory options for optimal connection with language.

Necessary Novel for Kool Kids!
|
My A.P. English students are very hard working, highly motivated, and want to get to college and succeed, but many do not have the opportunities that typical AP students at other schools around the country are accustomed to. Our school is a suburban public school of over 2,400 students with a population that is over 80% minority. We also have over 80% of our students on free/reduced lunch. Our AP English funds and resources are sorely lacking. My students want to be well-read, but I have had to ask my students to buy their own copies of some of the novels that we read, as typically only one class set can be funded by the school or we do not have any copies of a particular classic novel at all. This project can keep my students from having to buy their own copies of novels of literary merit that are recommended readings for success on the A.P. test. Many of our students qualify for federal assistance on the cost of the A.P. test; otherwise, they cannot afford to take it. However, books are not funded in this manner, so we often have to go without. My kids deserve great books!
|
If my AP students could each have their own copy of this novel to take home and read while we are studying the book, the depth and breadth of learning and class discussion would greatly increase. With each work we study, students answer guided reading questions at home in preparation for great class discussions and writings that lead to a further understanding of characters, themes, and literary devices used in the book. I plan to use this set of 130 novels by assigning one to each student for the duration of the unit and then get the books back and reuse them each year for as long as they last. I teach approximately 130 AP English students at once, thus the need for that number of copies of this classic tale. This classic novel frequently appears on the AP English test and is highly recommended by scholars. My students and I would greatly enjoy reading and studying it together. Unfortunately, we currently do not have any copies of this book at our school, not even a class set.
| null | null |
My students need more choices for classic literature for our AP class. This famous Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities would help bolster our weakened library of great classics.

Empowering Young Artists
|
The scholars that I serve are full of imagination! I am fortunate to work with scholars that are so vivacious and full of life even with the many daily challenges they may face. Despite these challenges, however, our scholars are part of a school culture that sets the expectation of perseverance and resilience. Our scholars are learning to take their unique experiences and translate it into a story of empowerment. As our scholars continue to interact with their Art Education, they understand just how many opportunities their futures hold.
|
Your donations will help instill a sense of pride in our scholars for the artwork they are creating. By having the paintings available in the classroom, their artwork will serve as an additional reference to their classroom learning. Our mobile Art Education program uniquely pairs with the Common Core standards as we try to create an all-encompassing picture for our scholars in terms of their academics. \r\n\r\nOur job is to empower and inspire our scholars by linking their academic values within the classroom to their ever-expanding creative minds. This means that when our kindergarten scholars are learning their shapes, we are painting them to reinforce the lesson. When 1st graders are discussing Astronomy, we are mixing various shades of paint to create our very own night sky and constellation pieces. When our upper-level scholars are learning about ancient European history, our Art Education program focuses on different historical artists, the style and methods of painting used during this era, and historical events that would be documented during the time.\r\n\r\nThe scholars that I serve learn about the many stories that have been told throughout history. We discuss how styles of art have evolved both historically and geographically, and make connections to modern styles of art as well. Most importantly, however, the scholars that I work with take these stories that we learn and relate them to the various stories they have to tell within their own lives and experiences. By giving them the opportunity to reveal their stories through the arts, and to have access to this art within their classrooms, we empower them to take greater risks and have a greater connection to the history that precedes them. These materials will help us Empower Students Through the Arts.

The More Choice, The More Results
|
By May 22, 2017 I want my 44 students to feel as though they truly are book critics, advertisers, researchers, inventors, authors, educators, editors, mentors and facilitators. Most importantly, I want them to know their voices matter and their choices are important.\r\n\r\nWhen our students walked onto our newly remolded campus on August 22nd, 56% of them were on free and reduced cost lunch, 57% of them had one parent absent in the home, 25% of them were considered Dyslexic and struggle much to read, 7% has had Child Protective Services involved with their life, and 4% are learning English.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you met them, you would be shocked of their labels. Our students are creative, thirsty for knowledge, and thrive on challenges. Our school is labeled a Title 1 School, which means because of the high percentage of low income families we serve, we receive federal assistance to provide funding to improve the educational opportunities for all our students. Yet, we compare well with \"Non-Title I\" schools. We constantly have visitors from higher income schools to see how we overcome today's educational challenges to meet our students where they are and give them the world class education they deserve.

Giving students option in where their work space is and what is included in it, can increase student success up to 16% research from Edutopia reports. \r\n\r\nJust like adults, students need options in their work environment. Students vary in their needs that must be met, before they can give the most focus to a task. Some need to fidget, others need to sprawl out, and some even need stand up. When choices are provided to any person to make them more comfortable, more results are produced.\r\n\r\nAlso, all students must collaborate throughout their education to prepare them for the 21st century. The furniture chosen allows for various options in creating collaborative spaces with choice seating to easily take place often throughout one school day.

My students need flexible seating so they can \"use up excess energy, improve metabolism, increase motivation and engagement, create a better oxygen flow to the brain, and improve core strength and posture.\"

Evolving to a 21st Century \"Learning Studio\"
|
\"Evolving the classroom space to meet students’ individual needs impacts how they learn, how they interact, and the entire classroom experience,\" Pam Moran, Superintendent, Charlottesville, VA. \r\n\r\nOur 8th graders are energetic, diverse, thoughtful and ready to embrace the 21st century. My students thrive when they collaborate with others and since it's the 21st-century, we need to ditch the traditional desks. Our classroom space needs to evolve past the traditional classroom and provide students with seating choices that are conducive to their learning. \r\n\r\nMy 8th-grade classes are all inclusive with a variety of needs and learning styles. Research shows that flexible classrooms, student choice and movement increases student engagement and focus.
|
The classrooms of today should not be the classrooms of the past. Schools and educators must embrace the 21st-century, technology, social media and the environments in which we work. Businesses like Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Microsoft embrace the idea of unique, creative workspaces where employees take pride in working. This is a movement that should begin in schools, we must create environments where students can collaborate and innovate.\r\n\r\nOur goal is to evolve from a traditional \"classroom\" to a 21st-century \"learning studio\". Some students work well at the more traditional table and chair, but some of my students need to fidget and move to focus, so a yoga ball would be an ideal seating choice. A rug and lap desk will be an ideal choice for students who like to collaborate in a more relaxed seating but complain about the uncomfortable cold tiled floor. This selection of choices will allow students to \"test\" out various methods and find the seating choice that fits their needs best.
| null | null |
My students need a revamped 21st-century classroom! We're ditching the desks for collaboration friendly tables and seating that allows for choice and movement.

Fill Our Library Shelves and Keep My Students Reading (Please!)
|
Every day, students visit my library either with their class or on their own (before school and during lunch.) Students rush to my display of new books, and eagerly check to see if certain popular titles have been returned.\r\n\r\nMy 7th and 8th grade students come from a variety of family backgrounds and ancestral homes.\r\n\r\nOur school isn't in a very affluent section of our district, and many students have irregular access to new books and materials. However, many of my students have a real love of reading, a love somewhat hindered by the difficulty in obtaining good copies of interesting books.
|
Many of my students enjoy reading the same books and series, but my library's collection is often incomplete. I want my students to have access to the books they want, but often key titles in a series are missing due to wear or loss. I want my students to be able to find the books they are interested in and to read them on their own, whether at home or at school.\r\n\r\nPurchasing additional sets and replacing missing copies will allow my students to continue to build their love of reading as they will be given the opportunity to actually read the books they WANT to read.\r\n\r\nAs they read more, they will be exposed to more ideas, better develop their literacy skills, and gain a better appreciation and love of literature.

My students need interesting and exciting fiction to keep them reading: Fighting Fantasy adventure books read like games, Amulet comics seem quite popular, and I can't keep the Dork Diaries on the shelves!

Keeping Science in Students' Hands
|
My students are intelligent, earnest, talented young adults that come from a vast variety of backgrounds. Many of them them will be the first in their families to go to college. All of them have committed themselves to working hard for a good education. Teaching in a small, public, urban school, I have seen the power of opportunity and the difference it can make in a student's life. It is my job to provide my students with opportunities, to encourage them in their pursuit of a higher education, and to prepare them to be successful in college - especially in STEM careers. \r\nPart of this STEM preparation is to provide my students with opportunities to do hands on activities with real science materials in both the classroom and the laboratory. By doing these activities, my students are better able to understand the concepts taught, especially those that are hard to visualize. Hands-on problem based or inquiry labs allow the students to learn proper lab techniques, to formulate questions, and to develop critical thinking skills.
|
Often, experiments done in the lab require students to weigh out their materials in exact quantities. With only one electronic balance, only a small number of students are able to participate in a lab experience at one time, or they must watch the experiment being performed as a demonstration instead. \r\nIn the science classroom, students learn best when they get to perform hands on experiments. Doing an experiment themselves allows them to learn valuable laboratory skills as well as reinforces the science content they are learning. \r\nA classroom set of electronic balances will increase the amount of students able to participate as well as increase the accuracy and precision of students' work. Students will become engaged in the science content as they experiment to answer questions, reinforce theories, and solve problems.\r\n\r\n

ORGANIZING in 2nd Grade
|
As a teacher at a Title I school, my students are faced with many challenges outside of the classroom. This school year, our community was terrorized by a major flood. Many of these students lost their homes as well as everything they had. Some of these students are living in campers and homes that have been gutted. \r\n\r\nWith all of the tragedy many of my students have endured, I want to be able to provide them with a learning experience that is both fun and engaging. If I can do this, their learning experience will be very successful.
|
With all of the demands in today's classroom, learning is very fast paced. With that being said, in second grade it is very difficult for students to stay organized and on task in the fast paced classroom. Therefore, we need to stay very neat and organized. We have lots of supplies that could use some organization. With these totes, my second graders will be able to stay tidy and locate all of the supplies needed for successful learning. We do not have a lot of storage in our classroom so we need totes to help store everything in a nice and neat area.
| null | null |
My students need these storage containers so that we can organize our supplies. By having their supplies organized, it will be easier for them to function in our fast paced classroom.

Noise Limiting Headphones To Promote Concentration!
|
“Let everything you do be done as if it makes a difference.” – William James. \r\n\r\nMy classroom is full of curious and eager learners and we use every minute of our day. I teach a very active group of 44 kiddos with their age ranging between 8-9 years old. We are a Title I school and my students are a 100% free lunch. My students live in a low socioeconomic area. \r\n\r\nWe love to learn in a fun way specially in math. I believe in student-centered instruction and going from concrete to abstract.
|
Our school uses several different types of computer based learning programs. These programs include both reading and math. In the past we have asked families to bring their own headphones, but that is becoming more and more challenging to do with the changing world. I use these programs in my classroom every day. I have 3 student computers, 1 teacher computer, 6 IPads mini, and 4 school IPads and 2 tablets. \r\n\r\nNoise Limiting Headphones will promote concentration making it easier for my students to stay focused and on task. It is important for those who are listening to concentrate on the assignment. It is just as important for those students who are not using a device to stay focused and on task without being distracted by the devices that are being used around them. Please consider helping my students learn by providing them with the tools they need to stay focused.\r\n\r\n

Innovation Hour Using Our New MakerSpace
|
My students are enthusiastic learners who come from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.\r\n\r\nOur school strives to provide rigorous academics, intensive support, and cultural experiences in the visual and performing arts for all. \r\n\r\nDemographically, our students are 58% Hispanic or Latino with 38% socioeconomically disadvantaged. We are a modern rural one-school district surrounded by agricultural land filled with lemon trees. Our families work on these farms and live in the surrounding areas. Our school has a long standing history and just celebrated our 75th anniversary. When the doors first opened, there were just three classrooms with 68 students. Now we have over 650 students in grades kindergarten through eight. We teach students to create, connect, and collaborate for life.
|
I have recently constructed a small MakerSpace in my classroom where students can create, build and problem solve. A MakerSpace is a place where students have the opportunity to create projects, discover new learning using different materials and tools, and document their creations. \r\n\r\nThis 21st Century shift in teaching and learning requires new resources and materials to help make this Maker Space a reality.\r\nWith these new materials students will have an opportunity to create their own innovations and DIY projects in a hands-on environment. This will also allow them a chance to think more critically about the world around them.\r\n\r\nI have started my classroom Maker Space with materials generously donated by parents, friends and through my first DonorsChoose project. I already see the motivation my students have to explore and create. My mind reels with new ideas everyday. I now want to create an \"Innovation Hour\" where students solve a new challenge every week. I am hoping to add a few more materials and robots to our MakerSpace. I believe the more excited my students are to come to school, the more excited they will be to learn. Happy inventing!\r\n\r\n

Sight Word Readers Needed
|
My students require curriculum options which provide differentiated instruction and they do not always get to remain in the general education setting. In my special needs classroom, my students have various academic and behavioral needs and goals. \r\nMy students are great kids once you get to know them, or rather, when they allow you to get to know their true selves.\r\nIn my special needs classroom which serves students with emotional disabilities, the instructional levels are as varied as the grade levels. There are students from K-5th with instructional levels that are 2 or more grades below in English/language arts and mathematics to on-grade level. Each student has behavior and social skill instruction on a daily basis. Most of my students have experienced poor academic and behavioral progress. My student population has various schedules which makes it very difficult to schedule skill level instructional groupings. Each student has an Individual Educational Plan with specific goals. \r\n\r\nMy school is in a rural community with a high rate of low income families and a lack of resources for social needs. \r\n\r\n
|
My students need sight word readers in order to improve their reading skills. Students with a strong foundation in sight word recognition have fewer problems when trying to read grade level texts. The fiction and nonfiction sight word readers that I am requesting cover two different levels and will provide my students with much needed practice. \r\nI am serving much younger students this year than in past years and we simply do not have the materials they need. In order to help my students become GREAT readers, they need to read, read, and read some more. Having brightly colored, interesting books for them to read will help build their excitement about reading.

Flexible Seating for Personalized Learning
|
My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Most of students receive free lunch and live in low-income housing. In the face of the many challenges, overall they are brilliant students. I am using the personalized learning model in my classroom, this is my second year and I wanted to do more-by providing my students with more technology and flexible-comfortable seating in the classroom. I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.\r\nMy scholars are very creative, energetic and smart. They are students that are ready and willing to learn. They like to move and around and have interactive learning. They have a wide range of learning styles and ways of learning. They especially love math and reading. Some students are deficit in some areas and are strong in others. Most students come from single parent homes and are social-emotional challenged because of the lack of resources available for them, so having everything they need in school would mean the world to them. If I could provide a better learning environment with student choice and voice, I believe that each day can be more meaningful.
|
This year my students are doing personalized learning. Therefore, we are having students choose where they want to sit, what materials they want to use, and how they will solve the problems. The flexible seating choices will help students get more comfortable and engaged in their daily activities. Sometimes just having the choice to get up out of the standard chair and desk works wonders when trying to get my 3rd graders to work. \r\nThe bean bags and balance balls are for students who learn better not sitting at a standard desk. Students will be given the choice of where they want to sit. This will give my students options to help them learn better and work with student in a small group setting. The iPad will assist my diverse learner by having pre-recorded material ready for them to access while I work with another group of students. Also, students can use it in the classroom to take pictures and videos to share with their parents to extent the learning experience outside the classroom.

Upstanders: World Citizens \r\nWho Inspire Us
|
I work with 135 8th grade English students each day, most of whom live within a 5-mile radius of our middle school. Most of them qualify for free/reduced lunch, and my entire school receives free breakfast. These students are bright, inquisitive, and almost ready to monitor their own learning. \r\n\r\nWhile my 8th graders would prefer to be let completely loose to do their next research project, they actually still need guidance toward high quality sources. I know they will be comfortable using a print source I have chosen for them.\r\n\r\n
|
Common Core Standards for 8th graders in English Language Arts include a section on Research to Build and Present Knowledge. Students must gather information from several sources for this project, using both print and digital formats. Eighth graders are not proficient in determining the quality and validity of research sources.\r\n\r\nSince it is difficult for 8th graders to determine the quality of the sources they use for research, having They Stood Alone and Dare to Dream available in class solves this problem. Both books are well-written and full of excellent examples of well-known people who have stood up for their beliefs, in spite of the consequences, which is the guiding idea for the research they will do.

Technology for Curious Minds
|
My students come to school excited to see what each day will bring. Their imaginations running wild. What can we learn? What can we create? What new adventures await us? Nothing is impossible. Nothing is too big for us to tackle. \r\n\r\nThey say, \"Inquisitive minds want to know\", and I could not agree more! My class is full of big imaginations, endless possibilities, and so many things to discover. I want my students to be life long learners who never settle for less than their best! \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Have you ever had a really good question? Wonder about a new idea? Or wondered what it would be like to do something? What if you had to wait a week or two weeks to try to find the answers? Would you even remember what you wanted to know?\r\n\r\nTechnology is preventing my class from reaching its complete potential. My students have so many great questions that go unanswered simply because we do not have adequate access to technology. I would love for my class to be able to get a Chrome Book and look up an answer the moment they have a question. I would also like for them to have access to digital tools that will enhance their learning. Chrome Books would allow us to learn about coding, programming Lego robots, endless math concepts, and anything we would like to research. \r\n\r\nWe live in a digital day and age. I want my students to be able to close the technology gap that currently surrounds us.

S.T.E.A.M. Into Literacy at Home
|
We are a small school district of around 2,490 students (Pre-K-12) in the middle of fields of corn and beans. I teach around twenty second graders each year in all subject areas and they have a gamut of abilities from gifted to multiple disabilities. We have access to very little industry and culture. It is a close-knit, conservative community that comes together and supports each other. We do not have a lot of money and have learned to do without the extras in life.\r\nFredrick Douglass once said, \"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.\" I would like to encourage students to read more with their families.
|
My students and parents are really into the STEAM projects we have been completing in the classroom. They are asking for ideas for STEAM projects to complete at home. Jessica' at-home reading plan gave me the inspiration to send home STEAM Literacy bags. The students will read the book with their families and then choose a STEAM activity to complete with the book. The bags will be sent home on a Friday and are to be returned by the following Wednesday to be checked and refilled as needed.\r\nEach family will read and complete at least 2 activities a month and it will foster family togetherness. They can read, learn and create together. They will be completing hands on projects, experiments, cooking projects and not playing mind numbing video games.

Our students come from a tight-knit, diverse community in Oakland, CA. In a group of 30 students, there are at least 10 different languages spoken. Over 60% of our student population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. Our city is thirsty for greatness and our students are the future. Despite the lack of opportunities that our students have, they remained engaged and grateful for what they do have. \r\n\r\nThese hard-working scholars are an inspiration to me on a daily basis. They set ambitious goals, attack challenges (considered road-blocks by some) head-on, and encourage and support one another like a family.

Students spend some much of their time indoors, at school and at home. State funding has forced most schools to eliminate their physical education programs. Aside from recess, students have no outlet for their extra energy and no training in the proper use of equipment.\r\n\r\nMy students need to exercise and strengthen their bodies as a way to keep their minds sharp. Studies show that their is a positive link between physical activity and academic success. This project aims to provide equipment for the implementation of a 5th grade training program. Students will learn to use the equipment safely and effectively. Thank you for your support!

Clipboards, Bags, and Project Paper...Oh Yes!
|
My students arrive to school each day ready to be challenged. They expect to be challenged every day in all areas, both academic and social. We are 79% free and reduced price lunch. My school is the center of our neighborhood community and sponsors many events for students and families throughout the year. Our building is over 100 years old and is full of charm with wooden floors and doors and all kinds of nooks and crannies. The exterior is the classic red brick.
|
Our classroom has switch over to flexible seating this year. To make this successful my students need hard surfaces to make doing their work easier and book bags to keep their reading books together.\r\n The clipboards will fulfill the job of giving the students a surface to write on and the book bags will give them a place to put their books as they do not have access to a desk. \r\nMy students do several special book/science projects throughout the year and use bright colored paper in these projects. The bright paper will help them complete their projects and the bright colors always engage their audiences. \r\n

First Graders Learn About Healthy Living Through Hands-On(and Legs) Projects!
|
\"Can we take a nature walk today?\" My students seemed to ask me this question on a daily basis last year. I can only imagine the excitement my students would have this year if we had pedometers while we take our nature walks!\r\n My first graders are creative, innovative and talented individuals. They are bright eyed and hungry for knowledge! My school has a very high percentage of students who receive free or reduced price lunches, but it doesn’t define our school! Some of my students come to school with little background experiences and lack motivation to do well in school, while others are well-advanced in academics and are highly motivated to learn. \r\nOur school is a full inclusion school which means all students with disabilities receive their total education within a regular classroom.\r\n
|
With the addition of pedometers, an indoor garden kit, an i iPad with cover, and journals, my students will have opportunities to learn about healthy living in fun hands-on activities. I envision my students becoming more aware of how important movement is during their daily living with the use of the pedometers. The students will wear them daily and track their steps on the iPad and in their journals. The indoor garden will grow healthy food and students will learn about vegetables and the importance of taking care of them (like our bodies) for them to grow properly. The iPad will be used to create graphs for daily walking log, making videos of healthy living, and researching nutritional topics.\r\nBy donating to this project, my students will have fun interactive projects to help them learn about the importance of healthier, more active lives - this school year and beyond.

Are Those Ants in Your Pants? Part II!
|
I have the blessing of being a teacher at the best Title I school in my county. Our school supports a wide range of students with diverse learning needs that come from an extremely high-poverty community. \r\n\r\nMy students face many challenges; challenges most of us have not had to experience. Yet, regardless of what worries they carry on their shoulders, these precious children come to school ready to grow, learn, and love. Being at school is the highlight of their day. \r\n\r\nIt is my goal to provide both emotional and physical support for my students this year. \r\n\r\n
|
My students were fortunate enough to recently receive a class set of wobble discs to jump-start our flexible seating environment. \r\nWhen my students first experienced their wobble discs, they were mesmerized. They respect the supplies, use them constantly, and desire to have more options to support their learning.\r\n\r\nFlexible seating is a new idea that allows students to have the option of where they will sit during learning activities that best supports their learning needs. When I began to see this idea pop up, I have to be honest and admit that I was extremely hesitant about how it would work in my classroom. Coming from a background of 'minding my manners' and teaching these traditions to my students, the idea of constant movement and letting students control their location in the classroom made me cringe! However, over the past few months I have researched and realized that this is exactly what my students need to be able to release excess energy, control impulsive behavior, and fully engage in their learning.\r\n \r\nMy students are constantly moving ... as if they truly have 'ants in their pants.' My goal with this project is: 1-provide 10 new stools as an alternative to sitting on at their desk or on the floor during instruction; 2-provide a resistance band to put at the bottom of each student's desk for their feet to \"rest\" and extract excess energy in a positive way. \r\n\r\nWe are truly thankful for your donations thus far in our project and cannot wait to show you the new additions we wish to add!

Practicing Activities Searching for Skills
|
My class serves students with Autism with a great range of abilities and disabilities. My students have significant problems in their development of communication and social functioning. Including individuals that are non-verbal with intellectual challenges as well as self-injurious behaviors. \r\n\r\nMy Students are participating in a PASS Program which is a community-based transition model for students ages 18 through 22. Each student participates in a curriculum that emphasizes: functional academics, social skills, life skills, community-based instruction, and work experience.\r\nStudents in my class use visuals to follow routines, augmentative devices to communicate wants and needs due to the fact that they struggle with basic life skills, difficulty communicating and have impediment understanding social rules.
|
These preferred objects and activities may be used for instruction, or as reinforcers for activity engagement or completion. Instructional arrangements should also provide opportunities for choice-making to the student. Research has shown that when students have an opportunity to choose the activity, location, or materials for an instructional task, they are more likely to be engaged in the activity. Skills are taught within relevant activities and across contexts, increasing the probability that the student will generalize the skill to noninstructional activities and environments. Activity-based instruction describes the instruction of targeted skills within activities and routines that are meaningful for the student.

My students need activities and materials that are interesting and motivating. Actively engaging the student within instructional activities is critical to effective instruction.

Beginning Robotics and Coding with Dash & Dot
|
These students are an amazing, culturally diverse group of learners. They are questioners, inventors, problem solvers and dreamers. Every day that the students enter the classroom, their enthusiasm for learning is not only evident but also contagious.\r\n My students work every day to help each other, support the class, and become better citizens of our school community. They are growing and learning in a tight knit group. They are the ambassadors, world travelers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and teachers of the future.
|
Technology is about more than simply working with electronics. I hope to use Dash & Dot to prepare my fourth and fifth grade students for all aspects of challenges they will encounter in the future. \r\nIt is important to develop skills such as resilience, cooperation, risk taking and persistence. \r\nTeamwork will be key to developing these skills throughout their exploration of robotics. They will plan, design, and adapt to challenges presented to them. The Dash & Dot robots will transform the way my students understand and apply coding and computer science. Additionally, with pattern work, they will be able to produce music with these robots. \r\n\r\n

Listening Center
|
My kids love books but cannot use the listening center independently because of limitations in their skills and the device's age. Therefore the kids refuse to go to the listening center. Independence is important for my students and we strive for it in many ways despite their disabilities.\r\nThe students in my class have cognitive delays, impulse control issues, speech deficits and other delays. Devices that promote independent learning create a more confident child. The more confident my students are, the better they become at listening and learning.
|
Technology in my classroom consists of two computers and iPads once a week, having the iPods for the listening center would open up technology and audiobooks to my students in a way that a 15 year old cd/tape player never could.\r\nStudents would be able to use the technology independently, as they all know how to use tablets. Audiobooks would be loaded and they could choose which book they wanted. Right now they all have to listen to one book. Technology brings choices and choices are a wonderful thing.\r\nLet's open the world of books to my students through technology!

Technology is a major component in education. Our students are engaged through use of technology. The resources that my class is requesting will help us prepare for state test as well give them another means to practice the skills that were reinforced in class. Many of my students don't have access to technology outside of the classroom, due to circumstances beyond their control. These computers will give to access to something that is so critical in their development. \r\n\r\nThese computers will be a great asset to help my students who need additional support beyond the instruction given by me. Programs such as Reading A-Z, Xtramath, and other programs meet my students where they are and offer them different avenues to explore the content that has been taught in class. These computers will keep students engaged and keep them excited about learning. My students and I will greatly appreciate this extra support.

Financial Literacy: Industry Certification
|
My students are a diverse group of high school students who are preparing to manage their personal finances and become industry certified in several areas of business. We only have a classroom set of books in most classes and no books in others. Many students lack access to electronic resources. \r\n\r\nMy students are energetic and imaginative. Like most students in grades 9-12, my students love to use technology to learn. They also need materials to take home to study. Due to the limited amounts of books, they do not always have materials to take home. Our school is located in a rural poverty stricken area. Resources required for this class are very limited.
|
My students will use the batteries in buzzers that will be used to play financial literacy games. The easel pad will also be used in preparation for the financial literacy certification test. The toner and laminating pockets will be used to print and preserve the certification certificates.\r\n\r\nPreserving the certification certificates mean a lot to the students. Not only have they worked hard to get the certificate, but my teacher has taken the time to laminate it for me. Receiving the items from this project will help students learn financial knowledge and to take pride in their work and accomplishments.

My students are from low SES (socio-economic status) homes. Actually, we are one of the lowest SES schools in the area! A lot of my students are coming from homes where education has not been a priority because of poverty. However, the group this project will mainly benefit is my gifted and talented (GT) group. \r\nI would love to be able to put more technology in the hands of my students! We do a lot of research and projects that require contacting mentors and outside sources such as M&M Mars, E-Z-ON Products, Inc., Legend Cycles, and more!
|
In gifted and talented we have three different types of projects each six weeks. Our genius hour project and curriculum projects require A LOT of research. In genius hour projects students invent, innovate, or do research on a topic they are interested in with not initial limitations. Curriculum projects is something I developed. I give my students a few curriculums to choose from and they either work in small groups, pairs, or individually to do research on a specific area of their chosen curriculum.\r\nWhen I have 22 students and only eight possible research ready devices many of my students are required to share or alternate who gets to have access and who doesn't. While five more tablets would not totally solve my issue, it would make a significant dent in it! A few students have a personal device that they are allowed to bring and utilize for research.

No Time to Waste-\r\n Kids Arrive August 11th!
|
In my seven years teaching in a high-poverty school on the outskirts of Denver, I've taught children from dozens of languages. My neighborhood is a resettlement area for refugees. I've had students from Sudan, Ethiopia, Vietnam, China, New Guinea, Congo, Iraq, Mexico, El Salvador, Panama, Nicaragua and of course all over the United States. Our school has a 60% mobility rate meaning that students come and go frequently. Its not uncommon for a third of the class to move over the course of the school year to be replaced by children who's family has been recently uprooted.
|
Brain research about learning indicates that the highest form of learning is actually teaching. If you can teach about a topic, you possess a deep understanding of that topic. I will use this easel to provide opportunities for children to teach each other. Last year during a unit on Author's Purpose, we read a number of books about Black History in America. We read a number of books about Ruby Bridges, a young black 6 year old girl who attended one of the first integrated elementary school in the south. During the read aloud, students were asked to brainstorm about what the author's purpose was for writing the book. Students would record ideas on stickies and place them onto a graphic organizer displayed on the classroom easel. \r\n\r\n\"Be kind even when others are being ugly,\" wrote one student. \"Stand up for what you believe in,\" wrote another. \"Remember to the brave,\" advised a third. I've been asked to move to a new classroom this summer and the new room has very little furniture. Without an easel, I don't know how I'll teach. I'm sure I would find a way, but your help would sure be appreciated!

Better Learning with Sensory Regulation
|
My students attend a public school in San Francisco, where the city has lots of stimulating lights, sounds, and smells. My students are special because these great things about our neighborhood can become overwhelming and overstimulating for them. My students enjoy learning and coming to school, but it has been very difficult for them to filter out the white noises around the classroom, or the loud sounds that may shock their auditory systems, thus affecting their sensory regulation. \r\n\r\nMy students are special because they all have Autism, and struggle daily to cope with their high sensory needs. Having a classroom where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and regulated helps them achieve their academic goals.
|
As students enter into the classroom, they will feel relaxed and comfortable with dim lights, lava lamps running, sensory fidget toys within reach, and water timers that can help them focus better. Students will benefit from a classroom that provides the sensory input they need to reset their auditory systems for better regulation throughout the day. \r\nStudents will be eager to come to school, knowing they have a comfortable and relaxing space to learn at their level, with their special needs in mind. These objects will help support their various sensory needs and result in more positive stimulating behaviors for learning.

This school year I want to focus on helping my students become successful mathematicians. Using the Grade 1 Common Core Daily Math Practice Journals will help refine my scholars’ math skills each day of the school year. Along with challenging activities that target Common Core State Standards! Also, it will focus on building conceptual understanding and procedural skills, such as number & operations in base 10, operations & algebraic thinking, measurement & data, geometry, word problems, math computation and problem solving. \r\n\r\nIn addition, we can explore base 10 number concepts with the whole class—with our own Jumbo Magnetic Ten-Frames and counters! This will aid in exploring essential math concepts, including making ten, addition & subtraction, more than/less than, and more!

Movie Magic Makes Rock Cycle Come To Life
|
This year I have 12 boys and 10 girls in my 4th grade class. One boy is a very bright student who is in a wheel chair due to a enzyme disease. He is the oldest living person with this disease. He struggles to move his own body, so he has a full time nurse who comes to class with him.\r\n This inspirational boy brings out the compassion and kindness in other classmates. My principal told me I would have the nicest class because that's what happens to any classroom that has this wheelchair bond boy. He is magical, and he can use an i-pad to show his academic learning.\r\n My students love learning through exploration. They get so excited when it is our turn to use the computers for not everyone has a computer at home. This year I would like my students to use more technology to show me their growth. With project based learning in both reading and science, my students will be creating jingles, dances, rhymes and skits to help them remember critical vocabulary and demonstrate their knowledge of the concepts. I-pad minis will be a tool to motivate and share this growth.
|
How do we include all students in a project based project? One way is to have students make a stop motion movie about their learning. With an i pad in a students hand, they can make a stop motion movie to show their understanding of the rock cycle, water cycle and even their biography book report. \r\n\r\nMy students are grateful to have a handicapped student who is wheel chair bond be part of our class. With the use of an i pad, every student, including the boy who can't use his hands, but can use two fingers, will have an opportunity to interact and learn through programs like Nearpod.

Life Science Goes Home Through Art Projects
|
My 7th grade students are a diverse group, representing a variety of socio-economic levels, academic ability levels, nationalities and more. We are a full-inclusion school, so I teach all students, including those with special needs, gifted, and English learners. This project will provide supplies for all 7th graders at my school to do the project.\r\n\r\nAll of them receive a rigorous STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) and humanities education, along with a wide variety of engaging and relevant elective courses. Following STEM principles, we have developed activity-based science courses in which students are guided through the topics while acquiring skills in experimentation, measuring, and lab techniques.\r\n\r\nI believe science class should be fun, relevant, and engaging. I want students to love science so much that they choose to study it in high school and college.
|
These supplies will allow my students to create several take-home projects related to class topics. Students will use the fabric paint to paint their \"GUTS\" (organs like the liver and heart) onto t-shirts. When they wear the shirts at home they explain the various organs to their family. The table cloth will protect tables while painting. They will use shrinky dink plastic to create plant and animal cells. These creations are mesmerizing to watch as they shrink and students leave with a piece of artwork that they can hang off of their backpack or a keychain. The folders, markers, paper, brass fasteners and duct tape will be used to build interactive notebooks for students to keep their science work and reflect on it. \r\nThe students become very proud of their notebooks and are excited when they have assignments that ask them to share their notebook with a parent at home and explain concepts that they are learning to the parent. The parent then writes positive messages about the student's work inside the notebook. This helps parents stay aware of what students are learning and leads to interesting discussions at home. Printer ink will allow us to print student designs for their notebook and the duct tape helps strengthen the binding of the notebook. Students will be very proud to take their piece of artwork home to share with their families and explain the science behind the project. I find that whenever students get to take home and keep something like this, it creates a lasting memory of the concept that was being taught and it gets them excited to teach their family about what they have been learning.

Seating for Everyone

My school is considered a title one school with means we require more state funding due to the school communities income. In my classroom, you will find a very diverse group of students. You will see students with ADHD, ADD, autism, deaf and hard of hearing, gifted, English as a second language, students of average intelligence, etc... We are an extremely diverse school, and we do our absolute best to meet the needs of all our students. We love learning, but sometimes require a little extra help.
|
Every child wants to walk into their classroom and feel comfortable and welcomed. When they are offered multiple forms of seating, they can do just that. The more \"homey\" our classroom is, the more they'll relax and enjoy learning. This seating is also fabulous for students who cannot sit still in a \"regular\" chair or setting. Some students thrive when given the chance to bounce or move around a little. These different forms of seating will offer that variety for all students to encourage learning in a more comfortable and adequate manner. I want all of my students to enjoy and be comfortable in their learning environment!

My students need alternate forms of seating to better meet their needs. Considering I have students with autism, ADD, and ADHD, alternate seating can better help them focus and learn in a more comfortable setting.

They take pride that their children are receiving a quality education and believe in and support their teachers.\r\n\r\nOur teachers are so hard working. We are committed to each and every students' success. We work long hours, spend our own money and collaborate constantly to ensure children are safe, ready to learn and have what they need. This is what makes it an enjoyable place for us all to be!

My Kindergarten students are doing such a fantastic job jumping into the curriculum and preparing for their academic careers. We begin small groups next week with an emphasis on SIPPS (phonics and phonemic awareness instruction). We ask for their undivided attention, effort, and constant practice.\r\nI want my students to look forward to this learning time. It's my time to read with them and it's their time to shine. I want this group to feel special and excited to come practice their new skills with me. I think this alternative seating for my small reading group will help keep them motivated.

My students need alternative seating. The plastic chairs and rug are ok but they're asked to sit for so long that having these fun items added to our classroom will brighten their spirits and our room!

JEWELRY MAKING CLUB
|
I work at the best school. Our students have school pride that is contagious. We are a family like no other. We are located in a community that is surrounded by colleges and low income housing. In our school you will see students that represent different ethnicities, come from different countries, and academically learn in different ways. \r\n\r\nAs our students say every morning, \"We are destined for greatness.\" Our school family is growing and excited to learn and excel in the sport of learning.\r\n
|
Our school has club day twice a month. This is a time for teachers to show off their hobbies outside of the classroom. I chose jewelry making. I am need of beads and beading material. My club members are excited to learn the art of making jewelry.\r\n\r\nBuilding relationships with students can happen anywhere and at anytime. This club will allow me to work with students who I may not teach or even see throughout the day. This club is another way to help students feel apart of our school family. In this club, we will make bracelets, neclaces, design purses, hats, clothes, keychains, and much more.

Help Us With Our ABCs!
|
As a teacher, I want to create an environment that is vibrant, colorful and most importantly suitable for the needs of my students. I want to be able to give all my students the best experience possible, but I need your help!\r\n\r\n I am an elementary school teacher in a high needs school in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.\r\n\r\nThis is my third year as a teacher and my first year teaching kindergarten. My students come from diverse cultures and economic backgrounds. My kindergartners are curious, eager and hard working learners. These students not only learn from their teachers, but from each other.

A child might be able to recite the alphabet, but not be able to identify letters or the sounds they make. It is very important for me, as a teacher, to provide my students with a variety of engaging activities to practice reading skills such as alphabet letter names/sounds and rhyming. My students start the year at different academic levels and some do not even speak the language. By providing various types and levels of alphabet activities, my students will be engaged in learning the reading skills they need to be successful students.\r\n\r\n I have requested alphabet teaching tubs with a storage rack.\r\n\r\nMy project is so important because education has become heavily focused on teaching literacy and other academic skills. I believe that students learn better with hands-on experiences. These resources will help teach those skills in a fun and engaging way, and will be used year after year and touch so many children's lives.

Coding in the classroom
|
My students are coders, programmers, problem solvers, and thinkers. They love asking and answering real world questions! We are a title 1 district with struggling students, but reach for our dreams every day!
|
My students are energetic, lively, and passionate. They come from inner city homes that struggle to provide outside of the essentials. They are eager to learn though, and work hard every day to reach standards, goals, dreams, and passions. They love using our chrome books, technology, and coding especially.
|
We have been participating in coding activities throughout the school year already. My students love to learn how to program, and code on computers. They love sharing their learning with others, and seeing their projects come to life. The Ozobots will help take our coding and programming to a new level!
|
The Ozobot will bring coding and programming into a new light for my students. They will be able to see hands on how setting up codes and programming work in the real world, and will be able to see their projects and ideas come to life. This will change the idea of programming and coding for them forever.
|
My students need three Ozobot smart toy robots and the starter packs that they come with!

Success....There's An App For That!
|
We are an urban district and we have over 90% of our students on free and reduced lunch. Many students begin school with no prior education at all. Our Kindergarten students are already behind when they walk in the door on their first day. We also have students who move in and out of our school frequently. Our student population grew by one hundred students just last school year. Despite the disadvantages many of my students face, they are genuinely great kids. These kids just need extra time and attention to help them make the academic gains necessary to be successful. \r\n\r\nThe most important and enjoyable part of my job is intervening with students. Getting to know each student and what motivates them is especially important. Through my interactions with students, I have found that when they are genuinely interested in something, they will work much harder to achieve their academic goals.

My students will be able to use the Kindles to access Aleks, a personalized online math program that finds deficits and then tutors, teaches, and guides them to help \"fill in the gaps\" of their learning. It also lets me know exactly what my third graders are struggling with and how to best help them during intervention. Students will also use RazKids, a personalized reading program. This program allows students to listen to books being read to them as well as for them to read it to themselves. This program allows me to assign the best level for each student. They can only move up in reading levels when they have answered the comprehension questions to multiple books and shown that they fully grasp what the stories are saying. Students will use the app Epic. Epic allows students to personalize their own library with their favorite books. We will also use many other apps and websites all designed with learning in mind. We do a lot of research projects in the classroom. Having access to the Internet at our finger tips allows my students to answer any questions that arise when they are conducting research or investigating for projects. We also need cases and screen protectors to keep our kindles safe.\r\n\r\nThis project will allow my students greater exposure to modern electronic devices and at the same time it will strengthen technology, literacy and mathematical skills.\r\nIt will also teach my students that technology can be for so much more than entertainment. It is a very engaging, interactive, hands-on, and motivating way to become stronger readers and mathematicians!
