Open Fund-A-Need Projects

I teach in a low income school where students do not have classroom supplies.

I teach 1st grade in a rural district in southern Missouri. Due to small budget, I have already spent my allotted classroom money. My students each have a laptop but we are in great need of individual headphones. Most of our headphones didn’t work by the end of last year and hurt my student’s ears.…

We are looking to provide our students with a way to keep their essential school supplies and materials in one, organized place.

Demand the equal right of women

My classroom consists of 23 curious kindergarten students from special programs such as Title I, Economically Disadvantaged, and Special Education. In the classroom, we serve children from a variety of families and backgrounds along with different learning strengths and needs. My goal is to help improve the academic achievement of our disadvantaged students and bring warmth and color into their learning experience. Kindergarten is a wonderful year of learning, laughter, and academic growth. Introducing powerful new creative tools engages our students in successful learning!

My 3rd grade students love using the few flexible seating options that I brought from my kindergarten classroom with me! They work so much better and maintain better focus when they are comfortable. Unfortunately, the kindergarten sized options aren’t always best for my older kids. I need help giving them better options that are made for them.

I am a fourth grade teacher to 90 kids in a general education setting. I am working very hard to ensure education is lined with new technology in a variety of ways.

To meet the needs of my culturally and linguistically diverse learners, I am seeking funding to transform the structure of my ELA Classroom. Due to the discomfort of sitting on hard chairs for 8 hours a day, I would like to provide learners with flexible seating. I wish to purchase 5 round tables, along with…

Help me create a comfortable learning environment for my 2nd grade students, with a large rug!

My classroom is very blessed to be one-one with Chrome books but sometimes space is an issue. They all crowd around the table, sometimes very close to each other. When we are giving assessments or completing assignments it is very hard for them to keep their eyes on their computer. I would love to help the children spread out more within our classroom walls so that they have privacy and feel confident in their own space.

Do you remember how hard it was to write a paragraph in third grade? Now you have to brainstorm, organize your thoughts, search for each letter on the keyboard and use technology you are not used to…oh and you will be graded on it.
Last week my third grade students were asked to take a standardized test on chromebooks. While we are lucky to have 7 chromebooks in our classroom for our use, students are not getting enough time to practice on them. Many students could not figure out how to move the mouse pad never mind focus their energy on answering the questions. By donating to this cause you will make our class 1:1 for technology, allowing all students to gain the technology skills they need not only for state testing but for the 21st century that they live in. Thank you!

Help me give my students an iPad and keyboards to research topics of interests! Also my students right now are reading nonfiction books and have to write informational pieces on weather. There aren’t enough books for each reading group. On the internet there are a lot of resources for students to be able to do research. There isn’t enough technology for the children to be able to do their research.
These are vital skills that children should be able to learn in school is how to use technology and do research about topics of interest. Technology is becoming so prominent in the classroom and in life.

Help me give my students flexible seating options to help relieve their wiggles!

Ap calc. student in need of graphing technology

I am asking for more book series for my classroom library. The classroom library I have does not have enough engaging books that the students can relate to. Reading is difficult in the classroom. Classroom libraries should have books that students can reflect and connect. All of the books that are in our library are outdated or falling apart. The new books are to help students make text-to-text connections, self-connections, and world-connections. Also, it will help students move reading levels with the chapter books I am asking for. Thank you for your support and helping my students move reading levels.

Help me give my students a variety of flexible seating in our classroom! The wobble chairs, floor seats, and balance ball seats will help my “busy bodies” concentrate and excel as scholars in the classroom.

Every 3rd Grader Has A Voice!

When my students find themselves represented in books, their intrinsic motivation increases. They strive to see the world through books while implementing both metacognitive skills and text strategies to increase their decoding and comprehension.

Help me give my students an organized and effective classroom where they want to learn and explore!

I have the most awesome group of students on the planet! I am so excited to be able to be a part of their journey. They are talented and goal-oriented. These kids inspire me daily, and I can’t wait to see the amazing things each will accomplish in the future!
We come from an area of high poverty, and I have no doubt this group of students will not only rise above all barriers but will serve as an inspiration for the many students who will follow.
These seats and critical thinking activities would be a wonderful addition to our classroom.

Take ordinary content and creating an extraordinary experience for my students.

Help me give my students copies of “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” by Kate DiCamillo and “Riding Freedom” by Pam Ryan Munoz as well as some flexible seating options. When each student has their own copy of these inspiring novels in a comfortable setting, they can really dive into the text and get the most out of it!

Help me provide stem bins so my students can build design and grow.

History has 0 funds for texts and we would like to support rich content reading for all scholars!

My students’ are exceptional, diverse, multicultural and eager to learn. They are from Trenton, NJ; which is an inner city high in poverty. As a teacher in this area, I know that my students are faced with challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to…

I have been teaching in a title 1 school for the last 9 years. 95% of my students come from a low socioeconomic status and have little to no support at home. This has me spending much of my paycheck on materials for my students and my classroom. I have always said that I have many kids but only one by blood. I treat my students as my own children but my salary makes it difficult to supply a classroom and to plan and execute lessons that are not only highly engaging but have high expectations and standards.

I am requesting an Apple iMac computer to use in my classroom for STEM learning activities.

Please help us create a classroom community space that allows us to come together as a family to collaborate, learn, share, and grow!

Throughout the day we are problem-solving, working cooperatively, critically and creatively thinking, communicating in different ways, and beyond. Due to budget cuts, limited supplies, and the need (& desire!) to think outside the box, I have developed lessons and project-based learning opportunities that will essentially go hand-in-hand with each of these materials so that my kids have the ability to demonstrate understanding and skills! In order for my kids to fully engage in play, creativity, discovery, exploration, and technology, I noticed that a few parts of our day need to be revamped.

It’s time to get the ball rolling, and give these kids all that they deserve to have a well-rounded, hands-on education!

Help me give my students wobble stools to help them wiggle, move, and spin while they learn and work! My first grade classroom is a place for students to feel welcome, safe, accepted, and comfortable. Six and seven-year-olds are full of curiosity, wonder, and excitement and my job as their teacher is to provide them an environment where they can fulfill all of these qualities.

I am changing grade levels and would love to be able to provide my students with hand-on activities to help support their learning.

Help support reading in 3rd grade!

Giving children with special needs the ability to show their creativity.

I would love lap desk to incorporate into my classroom. This would provide another way my students could work. It is my goal to give them a comfortable work space so that they can give me their best!

Help me give my students flexible seating, like wobble stools, to promote independent learning and a student-centered environment! I teach twenty-four third graders with a variety of educational backgrounds. My students are eager to learn every day. I teach at a public elementary school, where students speak a variety of languages at home, vary in socio-economic status, and share a variety of cultural differences with their peers.

In our collaborative learning environment, the ability of students to be flexible and meet their individual needs is crucial.
Each day they make important choices of how they will best learn and meet their goals. Flexible seating options help us to individualize the learning experience!

Help me give my students iPads so we can utilize independent learning, and opportunities to explore technological resources.

Help me give my students and colleagues books that represent the diverse population in our school so that we can cultivate empathy for all humans through a love of literature.

Our classroom can benefit from daily real alouds.
