• Colorful Creations: Building Bonds and Skills Through Bracelet Making

  Funded May 20, 2024

  I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of my classroom. Thanks to you, my fourth and fifth-grade students had a truly meaningful experience crafting bracelets.

  This project not only sparked their creativity, but also gave them an opportunity to connect with their peers on a deeper level. Many students proudly wore their bracelets to represent themselves, while others thoughtfully made bracelets for friends, further fostering a sense of community in our classroom.

  Your generosity made this special learning experience possible and we are all deeply appreciative.”

• Entertainment for Indoor Recess

  Funded Dec 31, 2021

  Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! The students are so appreciative of all the donations you have made to help make our indoor recess project a reality. The fidget spinners were the biggest hit and the students were so excited to learn they could keep them and play with the spinners at recess.

  The journals and sketch books are incredible! After recess the students show me what they've been sketching and it is amazing. The mandalas and origami also have been keeping students enjoyably busy at recess. Art and having time to be creative is so important. Thank you for the generous gift and allowing these fantastic NYC students to have winter recess FUN!”

• Stuck on You

  Funded Dec 2, 2020

  Thank you so much for all of the stickers and prizes. My students love receiving their letters filled with all the goodies that show up to their homes throughout this school year.

  Recently, I sent out Valentine cards to each student. Students and their parents have acknowledged how wonderful it is to receive the caring letters. They have showed me pictures of how they use the stickers to decorate or create new artwork. The social emotional aspect of teaching is always important, but especially in this challenging school year. My students and their families know they are cared about and they matter. Thank you for supporting my classroom.”

• Home Is Where the Art Is

  Funded May 6, 2020

  Thank you so much for donating to my project, Home is Where the Art is. Distance learning through this pandemic has not been easy, but your gifts provided humanity during these times. I safely packaged up the sketch books, markers, pencils, paints, and construction paper. I made sure to decorate my car with all the students names and a thank you message to Donors Choose. Coordinating with the families and delivering the supplies to the students in Queens was a great moment. Even better was getting enthusiastic messages sharing the art they are producing at home. Thank you so much for caring about these incredible kids!”

• Technology with a Tablet

  Funded May 18, 2019

  Thank you for making this school year one of the best yet! Having this project fully funded was a joyous way for my class to end the school year.

  The children loved opening the package and seeing the brand new Microsoft Surface Go tablet with the case and keyboard! Having a touch screen in kindergarten makes using technology in the classroom simple and kid friendly. The students enjoyed being able to play their learning games, like Imagine Learning and iReady.
