DonorsChoose.org, a fundraising site many teachers use to raise resources for specific classroom projects, has been used by many Curley teachers to improve instruction for our students.

There are FIVE Curley projects currently in need of funding:

Ms. Moran wants to fund an ELMO document camera and projector to help engage all types of learners in all of our lessons.

Ms. Ferro aims to raise money for two iPod Touch devices to allow her 7th graders to access educational apps, such as Learning Ally, so that will assist them to better access the curriculum.

Ms. Goldstein seeks three storage benches that will be used in the combined block area and meeting area of her classroom. Children will be able to use the top of the benches as building platforms for block cities or ramps and marble runs. During meeting and for group times such as story time, the children will be able to sit on the benches or on the floor.

Ms. Mitchell, whose students are 3-4 years olds, seeks a computer and software so they will learn basic computer handling skills such as using a mouse and typing on a keyboard. The fun interactive computer games will teach them letter and number sense, as well as beginning reading skills.

Ms. Griffiths needs books, a projector to view videos, and a document camera to share books and view small animals for further understanding for her third graders.
