Mr. Andy

The project that started the personalized puppets! This is another amazing project brought to life by @DonorsChoose and has spiraled into something really cool!

$58 away for our @DonorsChoose project to reach the finish line. Any helpers? 🙏 donorschoose.org/project/air-to…

@grok @elonmusk long shot but would you be willing to help?

This DonorsChoose project by Mr. Andy at Active Learning Elementary School in Flushing, NY, seeks funding for a new Apple iMac to replace an outdated computer. The goal is to create engaging digital resources, parent newsletters, and remote-ready materials for PreK-2 students. It helps 18 students by enhancing early literacy through projected songs in Morning Meetings, ensuring instructional continuity between in-person and remote learning, and fostering stronger home-school connections. Total needed: $2,303. Support it here: [link provided in post].

@grok tell me about this project and how it can help the students. donorschoose.org/project/update…

The @FatBrainToys Air Toobz look like they’d be a hit in my preK classroom! Help us bring these awesome STEM toys into our classroom via @DonorsChoose. donorschoose.org/project/air-to…

@SusanBEdelman @ChalkbeatNY Makes you wonder what other data was manipulated to show they accomplished something when they really didn’t. Hmh? I mean hmmmm!

They cheated: NYC secretly manipulated the data to show compliance with the state class-size law. "Officials declared some 10,500 of 150,000 classrooms exempt" to show 64% citywide in compliance. Otherwise, 59.5% -- below the 60% requirement. @ChalkbeatNY discovered the ruse.

@ElvisDuranShow about 10 years ago, you helped fully fund our @DonorsChoose project for a computer that has made a world of difference in my classroom, for my students and their families. Technology changes quick and we’d love your support again with this project since donations are doubled today. 🙏 donorschoose.org/project/update…

@AskDyson My name is Andy Yung, and I’m a public school Pre-K teacher in Flushing, Queens, New York. Through a DonorsChoose project, my classroom was generously gifted a Dyson V15 Detect Pro cordless vacuum a little over a year ago. It quickly became one of our most valued classroom tools — helping us keep our rug area clean and safe for our young learners who spend much of their day learning and playing on the floor. Unfortunately, the vacuum has recently begun shutting off immediately after turning on. I’ve tried both of the batteries that came with it, but the issue persists. Given that this was a DonorsChoose-funded item, I want to be sure I handle it properly and explore any possible solutions before assuming it’s beyond repair. I’m reaching out to ask: •Is this a common issue with the V15 Detect Pro model? •Are there any troubleshooting steps or service options available for a classroom-purchased Dyson through DonorsChoose? •If repair or replacement is possible, what steps would I need to take to begin that process? I truly appreciate your time and any support you can offer. This vacuum has been such a huge help in maintaining a clean and healthy classroom for my students, and I’d be grateful for any guidance on how to get it working again. Thank you sincerely, Andy Yung

Don’t let this be my students this winter! Help them gear up for the cold and snow! Support our @DonorsChoose project. We’re $168 (with a match) away from giving all my students hats, scarves, and gloves. donorschoose.org/project/the-co…

@sesamestreet Elmo! Same date too!

Who is your birthday buddy? 👀🎂🥳

@PIX11News What happened to congestion pricing money used to fix this system? 🤔 now they want to raise the fare?

@MsSpillane @SusanBEdelman @leoniehaimson Don’t forget the vendors that charge ridiculous prices for supplies on ShopDOE.

@SusanBEdelman @leoniehaimson I bet that cost per pupil would be much lower if we weren’t using mandated, boring canned curriculums that are out of touch for our student body or spending money on coaches who barely have any classroom experience or know what our students need.

@SusanBEdelman @NYCMayor This is what he’s betting on with AI? He can’t deny this one… it’s straight from his IG.

A spokesman for @NYCMayor insists this idiotic bot is not his and City Hall has no control over it.

@yuhline The audacity to try to pin it on culture. This isn’t the first time she’s pulled shady nonsense.

No, friends…This is NOT a Chinese cultural thing. This is a corruption thing. Eric Adams Advisor Winnie Greco Handed a CITY Reporter Cash Stuffed in a Bag of Potato Chips | THE CITY — NYC News thecity.nyc/2025/08/20/win…

Once a 4-year-old in my Pre-K class. This summer? Back in that same room, helping lead as a teacher’s assistant. Watching students grow up and give back is the greatest reward. ♥ #ProudTeacher

From first-day jitters to graduation giggles — we’re bookending Pre-K with Mo Willems’ Pigeon! 🐦 We’re asking for $221 to gift each student a copy of The Pigeon HAS to Go to School! in Sept and surprise them with Will the Pigeon Graduate? in June.

Let’s make milestone moments unforgettable! ✨ Help me give my students Mo Willems' Pigeon books to start the school year and end the school year. donorschoose.org/project/from-f… #EarlyEd #ReadingRocks #BooksChangeLives #DonorsChoose

@SusanBEdelman That was one thing I was hoping he’d keep his word on. Hugely disappointing indeed.

Hugely disappointing. Ex-NYC schools chancellor David Banks came into office promising to cut bureaucratic bloat and eliminate expenses that did not benefit kids.

Didn’t think a relatively new school building with central air would need a @DonorsChoose project for an AC but here we are. Will be teaching during the summer so it’ll be needed. Help me give my students a portable air conditioner to create an ideal learning environment for the summer months. donorschoose.org/project/breath…
