How We Help Schools - Testimonials

Diamond Creek Elementary, Terri Darby

I used the money from my PIE grant to purchase an Elmo document camera for my classroom. I have only had the camera for about a month, but it has already become a tool that I depend on multiple times each day. When applying for the grant, I had high hopes that the camera would increase student engagement and participation. It has certainly done that, but I have also been pleasantly surprised by the unexpected benefits in classroom management and in efficiency of both time and materials.

Cirby Elementary, Kristina Lambert

With my PIE Grant money, I was able to purchase 4 ipods for my students. So, far our focus has been on increasing fluency and accuracy with an emphasis on English Learners through listening to books. Not only are my students enthusiastic about listening to a story, but their assessments clearly show an increase in fluency scores. Thank you so much for helping me expose my students to the joy of reading! View Photos
