The first donors choose I reviewed was titled: "Wiggle While We Learn." This applications was extremely positive and was in a concise easy to read format. I loved how the teacher began by describing her class as well as the area they live in. She then stated the need and how they wanted active seating in the classroom. She discussed how important it is for learning to be fun and how active seating can helps students stay in engaged. She gave a statistic about how kids learn better if they are moving throughout the day. All of the aspects of the application were done extremely well. I loved how it was descriptive but not to wordy. What I did not like was how she did not go into much detail about flexible seating specifically in her classroom. Five tips I would have for her would be to elaborate more on the actual product she is asking for, explain a little more about her classroom environment, provide a conclusion paragraph thanking people in advanced, she should address the other side who are apprehensive about the chairs(distraction), and go into more detail about the importance of active seating. Overall, I was inspired and would donate to this worthy cause.
The second donors chose was titled: "Today A Reader, Tomorrow a Leader." This donors choose was so incredible. This teacher is at a title 1 school in Washington. Most of her students are from Africa, South America, and Asia. She stated her detailed plea about how she needs books that are as diverse as her students. Students need to read about characters that they can relate to and this teacher was so descriptive in her distinct need. I was moved after reading this applications. I loved that she gave us a glimpse into the personality of her class. I loved that she said, "I need books that are as diverse as my students." What thing I did not like was that she only applied to get 3 books total for her class. I think she could have asked for more due to her moving cause. 5 tips I would give her is to ask for more books, give more detail about her class as a whole, give more detail about her methods of teaching, give more detail about being a teacher in a title 1 school, and to elaborate more on the importance of having diverse books in the classroom.
The third donors choose I was titled: "Literature On Paper and On The Line." This application expressed a teachers desperate need to have 8 new laptops to help her majority ELL classroom. This teacher works in a title 1 school and has no access to technology. She explains a little about her class and the troubles they face. Then the teacher further discusses the importance of having laptops in the classroom when teaching English language learners. She goes into great detail about what she will do with the money and how she will use the laptops, I really loved that aspect of her applications. Something I did not like was that she did not describe her class and a little bit more of the demographic. Five tips I have for her are to describe her class demographic more so we can better grasp her story, I would give some facts about the benefits of technology, I would explain how she is going to use the laptops once she gets the, she could say how typing skills can help them learn English, and she can say what resources she will use on the laptops to help specifically ELL.
