I want to start by thanking all the donors from the bottom of my heart for making my proposal a dream come true. My pre-kindergarten students have changed in a positive manner and have grown academically and socially from using all the literacy and math supplies that you, generously, donated to our classroom. The students have used all the resources on a daily basis becoming more proficient in every content area. The classic birch tabletop writing center keep all the writing tools very organize. The students truly enjoy going to the writing center to practice writing; and on many occasions, they draw something, a house or their family, and they comeback to me so I can take a dictation of their story about what they drew.
Lots of oral language development has been going on in my classroom since the students have been interacting with one another in the classroom library using the tabletop storytelling board. My students seemed to come out of their shells, and they have become more socially connected since the storytelling board arrived into our classroom. They dressed up, play, and read books using Velcro puppets and the tabletop storytelling board. The classroom carry-all are a blessing. The students used them not only as a writing tool organizer; but, I have heard them in many occasions talking about sorting the crayons by color and making groups with the crayons. As I mentioned in my proposal, I like to provide different opportunities for my students to learn different skills, and the educational resources could not have come at a better time. The alphabet picture puzzles arrived, I had just turned the science center into an African Village, and the puzzles were just perfect for that particular center. I can go on and on writing about my students' new educational experiences because of you, the donors who made a tremendous impact on the lives of my students.
In a class of 22 students, I can teach better having the right tools to teach. So thank you again for making a difference.”
Thank you so very much for funding my proposal! It will be wonderful to finally have an organized classroom. I'm already planning where everything will go. The instructional time that we will save will greatly benefit the children of my school. I feel so blessed our project was chosen for your donation. Thanks again”
I cannot thank you enough for donating to this project. Being in a technological age, technological literacy in my mathematics classroom is a must. You have helped make this a reality. I will begin a new phase in my mathematics instruction because of the new tools these calculators will be in my classroom. My students will be overjoyed to be able to use these to increase their mathematical achievement”
This is my second year with the after-school program. Having real drums is going to be so wonderful for these students. Last year, I gathered all the five gallon buckets around the school and we performed with them, but it is not the same. I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful donation and thoughtfulness of your contribution. You may have helped me save a child”
I would just like to start by saying how truly appreciative I am that you were to fund a portion of my project. With every struggle our school has endured due to Hurricane Ike, this gift will definitely lessen some of the stress. Every bit of technology that is brought into the classroom is one more opportunity that students are given to experience for themselves. Again, thank you for your generous donation. May this new year bring you as much joy that you have given me and more”

Thank you so much for your donation to our class's math centers! These math centers will allow my students to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, as well as reinforce the basic math concepts we are learning in class. This set of math centers will give us more than enough activities to last the entire year. The games will be so engaging for the students that they won't even realize they are doing work! I cannot thank you enough -- it is so nice to know that there are people who care about children and schools. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
With gratitude,
