The different donors choose projects I choose to review are all from Norman area. I thought it would be interesting to see what specific things teachers in our community are asking for in their classroom.
1. Lets get physical- This particular donors choose application was for high school students that are all nonverbal and more than half of them come from low-income households. The teacher went in depth about her students and included their likes and dislikes and different activities they enjoy doing. One activity they like is throwing balls. That is what she is asking for. The activity kit would allow students to participate in physical activities not only for PE but in classroom activities too. The teacher talked about how it will give her students confidence and I think that is so important in a classroom. I think this was a very well written request.
2. Different and Loved: Bringing Diversity to the Library- Just by reading the title I was intrigued by the application. It is so important to show students of different races that they are just as important as the other students and you can show them this by allowing students to engage in books that show diverse cultures or mirror their own lives. I this is also another good application that would be good to donate too. The teacher wants books from the pre-k to 5th grade level and it is important to start showing students the diversity of the world at such a young age. She brings in students by saying how they never fail to shock her with their love of learning and I think that was important to put.
3. Artists in the Making- This is for a teacher that created an art club for students because her school does not have art classes. Thinking only 10-15 people would join she was not prepared when 50 students were able to participate. I also think this is another well written application. She talks of the importance of art and what they are going to use with the watercolors and what they are going to study. Again the teacher talks about the students and how they are doing this club for them.
All of these applications I think are very good and would benefit students positively. It is cool to see how much teachers care for their students and their learning through this website.
