You've got a sneak peek of Mrs. Kenzinger's project! Make a donation to Mrs. Kenzinger now, and we'll apply it once the DonorsChoose team reviews this project.

Help me give my students these cooking supplies so they can practice measuring skills, reading skills and spend time with family.

My Students

My students come from mostly low-income families. Our school is an ethnically diverse school and is located on the south side of Chicago. Many of our students speak both English and Spanish. My students enjoy reading poetry, and they know repeated readings help them with fluency.

My students are all very kind, creative, and insightful.

All of them are third grade students. They all are diverse learners, and they require additional academic, social, and speech supports. My group of students fills each day with joy and smiles. They are making me laugh as we work together online. They are eager to learn and create. They continue to amaze me every day!

My Project

These cookbooks, measuring cups, oven mitts and gift cards will help students with reading, math and help families bond. Students and families will enjoy the wonderful illustrations and step by step cooking instructions included in this made for kids book.

Please help us create special memories at home while kids learn to make grocery lists, read, measure and develop a passion for eating healthy meals with family.

Cooking together is always a special experience no matter when it happens. During Covid, these times are even more meaningful and important.

Students will read cookbooks, shop for ingredients, measure and learn that healthy foods are so important for our bodies and brains!

Help me give my students the resources to put on the show of their lives

My Students

I teach in the South Bronx at a District 75 school. District 75 provides highly specialized instructional support for students with significant challenges, such as: Autism Spectrum Disorders, Significant cognitive delays, Emotional disturbances, Sensory impairments, and Multiple disabilities. This year, our school has decided to put on a spectacular like no other based on the movie "Shrek. Our students will be producers, actors, writers, stage hands, and will be building this play from the ground up.

As we have seen COVID-19 has had a severe negative impact on a student's social-emotional well-being, and academic achievement.

Not to mention the toll COVID-19 has taken on school budgets across the country. We in District 75 support the most challenging of children academically, socio-emotionally, and physically across the New York City public school system.

We find ourselves struggling to acquire necessary resources to support our play and along with it our young creators. COVID-19 has stagnated our student's social emotional growth and even worse for many has caused regression. For our student's this play is a means to be a part of a greater community where they can share, learn, and grow with others again. Please help us, the show must go

My Project

The 2020-2021 school year has been like no other due to the fight against COVID-19. COVID-19 has put more than 6ft of distance between friends, family, learning, and much needed supports.

Sudden change for students with autism, like switching to remote learning, has been a massive mental shock and has forced many of them to regress back into isolation.

So changes like the switch to remote learning due to COVID-19 has placed a cloud of unfamiliarity and stress upon our students' minds which has severely impacted the way they interact with their lives. Our students are struggling to connect with others and their creative skills.

I see this struggle and hope to use this performance as a way to help our creative students decompress, express how they feel, and reconnect with one another. With these requested resources we hope to enhance our costumes, and create stronger sets.

All costumes will be made by students. Students will paint their own design onto fabric (t-shirt,sweats,etc.) using tulle for added effect. Students will learn to express ideas respectfully with one another to assemble backdrops and organize props. This will also give students an opportunity to collaborate and socialize with friends they haven't been able to be around since March 2020. Also through our designing of costumes and sets we hope to teach students ways to cope through conversation and imagination. Through this SEL project not only will we teach students the value of community and collaboration amongst peers, but also put on a high quality performance. Please help us lift our students' spirits and put on a show like no other.

My Students

My fourth graders love learning new things. They love coming into my classroom, and many times, during dismissal time, one can hear a few telling the other classmates, "I do not want to go home," or "I want to stay here and continue learning some more."

As bilingual students learning English, they have to work extra hard and think not in one but in two languages!

They like to push themselves as well as push each other. They are hard workers and grow each day as learners!

It is so gratifying to see them expand on their learning.

My Project

I was fortunate enough to attend an AMAZING conference through the Infosys Foundation USA. It was such a learning experience using Chibitronics, something I have never used before. I learned how to make circuits using paper and the materials from Chibitronics. I would love to give my students the opportunity to learn what I learned about circuits and Chibitronics. On this project I am also requesting Makey Makey, the Wonder Workshop Dash - Coding Robot and additional resources which will allow my students to take everyday objects, such as fruits and play dough, and combine them with the internet using alligator clips to create music. With these items my students will solve real-world problems and create solutions for these problems while using their creativity.

Makey Makey kits along with Wonder Workshop Dash-Coding Robot develops and foster problem-solving skills, teamwork, collaboration, and risk-taking.

It is important for students to learn that success is not whether you get something right or wrong, but rather by trying different solutions and continuing to work through their problems and try over and over again.

Help me give my students these Draw & Write Touch Boards, magnetic designer sets, and art materials so they can create art, words, sentences, Valentines and anything that makes them happy!

My Project

My students really are embracing kindness and consideration right now. We are doing daily lessons that promote social awareness and thinking about others. Kids and adults all need these daily life lessons.

Our academic and social emotional activities would be really enhanced by these magnetic sets, writing tools and art supplies.

Children will use the writing boards to write sentences. This is a sensory board so it will activate more senses than regular pencil and paper. Students will use magnetic materials to improve reading and writing skills. Lastly the paper and glue will be used to improve fine motor skills and create positive feelings by making Valentines cards and crafts. Spreading kindness is so needed in our world!

Help me give my students the resources to put on the show of their lives

My Students

I teach in the South Bronx at a District 75 school. District 75 provides highly specialized instructional support for students with significant challenges, such as: Autism Spectrum Disorders, Significant cognitive delays, Emotional disturbances, Sensory impairments, and Multiple disabilities. This year, our school has decided to put on a spectacular like no other based on the movie "Shrek. Our students will be producers, actors, writers, stage hands, and will be building this play from the ground up.

As we have seen COVID-19 has had a severe negative impact on a student's social-emotional well-being, and academic achievement.

Not to mention the toll COVID-19 has taken on school budgets across the country. We in District 75 support the most challenging of children academically, socio-emotionally, and physically across the New York City public school system.

We find ourselves struggling to acquire necessary resources to support our play and along with it our young creators. COVID-19 has stagnated our student's social emotional growth and even worse for many has caused regression. For our student's this play is a means to be a part of a greater community where they can share, learn, and grow with others again. Please help us, the show must go

My Project

The 2020-2021 school year has been like no other due to the fight against COVID-19. Our students who are participating in our play, no this fight very well. COVID-19 has put more than 6ft of distance between friends, family, learning, and much needed supports.

Change for students with disabilities can be a deep disturbance.

So changes like the switch to remote learning due to COVID-19 has placed a cloud of unfamiliarity and stress upon our students' minds which has severely impacted the way they interact with their lives. Our students are struggling to connect with others because they miss their friends, family, teachers, and daily structure.

I see this struggle and hope to use this performance as a way to help our creative students decompress, express how they feel, and reconnect with each other. More Importantly I want to help these artists show the world the raw talent that lives within them. With these requested resources we hope to enhance our costumes, and create stronger sets to better sell the story. With these resources we will produce a high quality performance that will not only entertain others, but work to restore our students' sense of spirit and community.
