• Positively Social Learning

  Funded Aug 9, 2022

  Again, I am so grateful! Thank you for supporting my students. These Gratitude Journals will be used daily to generate conversations of empathy, kindness, and caring.

  The students were excited to browse through the journals and immediately got to work on day 1. Each day so far this school year they have completed another entry.

  These journals are leading to very deep discussions during our morning meeting and as examples of doing the right thing. Again, thank you for your continued support of my students.”

We will gratefully use these materials to generate conversation and I can't wai tot explain to them that people they don't even know care enough to provide them with tools to assist in thier learning. Thank you for thinking of my students during one of the most stressful times in thier young lives.”

• Flexible Seating! Flexible Minds! Pt 4

  Funded Aug 13, 2019

  Your generous donations have made a huge impact on the students in my classroom! The excitement of new flexible seating materials was evident when they saw all of the delivery boxes began being delivered!

  Flexible seating has increased the comfort level of learning in the classroom. Students have many different choices to set them up for success as they learn throughout the day!

  As you know, it is important for movement to be part of the learning day! Not only does it do the body good, but it also increase their brain function and allows them to choose a seating arrangement that is successful for them. Imagine being a 7 or 8 year old and being given a choice of how you sit to learn better.

  Again, thank you for your amazing and continued generosity to our students!”

• Flexible Seating! Flexible Minds!

  Funded Apr 17, 2019

  Thank you for your continued support of my students. These flexible seating items have been a game changer in the classroom and community classroom. Students are excited to change it up when choosing their seats.

  The advantage is that students are making choices to sit where they feel they will learn better. This gives the students ownership in their learning in such a simple way. The students are more engaged and are working together when they are able to partner up in a comfortable setting.

  Again, thank you for your continued generosity. It really does make a difference!”

• Keeping It All Together! Portable Binders Will Keep Us Organized!

  Funded May 16, 2019

  Thank you once again for sponsoring my students. This year, we embarked on a very smart journey with binders. The impact in building responsibility has been tremendous.

  These binders are transported back and forth from our classroom to home each day. The students are using the binder to store their communication log, reading log, monthly calendar and homework.

  Each week, the students know exactly where all of their weekly material should go. They are growing each day and showing a great deal of responsibility. Thank you again for your continued support!”

• Back to Basics: Replacing The Everyday Materials Needed to Learn!

  Funded Dec 29, 2018

  Thank you for your continued support of our classroom. The students were excited to begin using our new materials. The folders were so handy as the previous folders had seen better days! The folders allow my students to stay organized throughout their day!

  The crayons are being used in our community team buckets. These buckets are used in our classroom during the day. The specialists teachers also use them so they are getting a lot of use. I have been incorporating your generosity in our character education lessons of kindness. The students are understanding that you do not have to know a person to do something kind.

  Thank you again for you support! You are making a difference in the lives of many children.”

• Hear It! Hear It! Blended Learning Makes Us Smarter

  Funded Jan 30, 2019

  Thank you for your donation to our classroom. The students were so excited as I began to unbox the new headphones and storage. We have been having to share our headphones and they were big and bulky for my little learners! These new headphones fit them perfectly and they are staying in such good shape with the organization holder your donation purchased.

  The headphones are used at various times during the day in our blended learning community! The students use a reading program called Imagine Learning and a math program called ST Math each day to increase their understanding. The headphones are so much easier to use than the large ones that would get tangled and have such long cords. These new ones are quicker to plug in which allows for more time on learning.

  Thank you again for your continued support of my classroom.”

• Flexible Seating! Flexible Storage! Keeping It All Together!

  Funded Mar 1, 2019

  Thank you for supporting our classroom. As you can see from the photos, the children were so excited to begin using our new seating! These seats are being used as VIP choices. Students will be allowed to use these on a rotating basis when they are chosen as the daily VIP.

  The students love that they can adjust the seats to get more comfortable. One student said it was like sitting at the beach reading a book! These little things make such a difference in the classroom. These seats will encourage students to want to become VIPS! The flexible storage unit will be used to store our hardcover books and make it easier for students to choose great titles to read!

  Thank you again for supporting our classroom. You are making a difference in the lives of children with every donation you make!”
