Extra Yard for Teachers

 

“I am redoing my entire library. The books, bins, chairs… are so old and torn.  Many of them are from when I started teaching 23 years ago. A beautiful new carpet has arrived, new bins with labels, new books, some new decorations to make it lively and inviting.  I have some new seating I am waiting for, and a few more sets of books.”

“I used my funds to get some much-needed activities for my classroom! We have new puzzles, games, file folder activities, and task boxes, which have not only been a blessing this year, but will continue to be a huge help next year and the years beyond! I was even able to get a bookshelf, which may not seem like much, but it’s made a huge difference in my room. We can now have a dedicated reading area and use it to divide the room. I cannot thank the Military Bowl and Wegmans enough for all they’ve done for our classroom. The impact of this grant will be felt for years to come!”

“We purchased 4 computer laptops with your generous donation through Donors Chose. Prior to purchasing these computers, we had one Surface Pro for 22 students. My students are excited by these wonderful new computers. My students look forward to their turn on the computer to sign on to Clever and use iReady Math, Zearn, and several other educational programs to learn math and science. In addition, I am ecstatic because the Spanish Language Teacher use the computers in my classroom with my students. She has taught the students how to log on to an Educational Language program. This interactive computer program teaches my students to read and write Spanish. Wow! We value each and every one of the supporters and appreciate their donation that is providing my students to have technology in the classroom.”

” I have purchased dash bots so the students can learn to code, anchor chart paper and markers for the use of referencing lessons, a Bluetooth speaker for motivational Friday, and an organizer for the students.”

“The funds from the Military Bowl Grant were used to expand our makers space. We added a resin printer and curers, as well as some memory cards. This means our students, both in classes and clubs, can make seamless, durable prints, that can be used for work, play, or display. Thank you for your help in making this happen!”
