  • Students Explore with A Cricut Explore Air Printer!

    Funded Sep 9, 2024

    Thank you for taking the time to donate to our classroom. Having a cricut printer has made a huge difference in my intervention small groups. Unfortunately, we dont have the funding needed to provide extra support for our students. Ideally we would love to have many hands on activities, games etc, but that all costs money. Now, I can create and print my own literacy games for my students. I have made some letters on the cricut printer and created a matching letters and sounds game that my students loved.

    I am thankful that I can print activities that will make learning to read really fun. Thank you on behalf of all my students. My struggling readers will be able to learn through fun activities now. You have made a huge difference and I am very appreciative. Thank you!”

  • Kicking Off The Year With a Bang

    Funded Aug 19, 2024

    Thank you so much for your donation. It has made a huge difference in my classroom. My teacher chair is great and so comfortable. I am able to pull al my 8 groups all day with comfort. The laminating machine we received is wonderful. I have laminated so many of their activities, centers and posters for our lessons. Having things laminated means I will be able to reuse all my lessons again and again year after year without spending time recreating.

    Thank you for the difference you have made in my daily teaching routine. I am able to see my students and laminate all the activities I continue to create. Thank you!!!”

  • Liberty Scholars Ready To Show and Print Their Knowledge!!

    Funded Oct 11, 2022

    I want to start by saying thank you for your generous donation. I want to express how important this project was to our class. My students come from environments that are not able to fund the technology that they need for school. Many of our assignments and projects require that students print their work for class.

    I decided that I was no longer going to require that they print things at home, but rather I would allow them to print from the classroom. Getting a printer for my students has made a huge difference. My students feel that they all have the same opportunity to turn in projects and they have started to get more creative with the work they turn in. They look forward to finishing their assignments in order to print and show their work to their classmates.

    I am proud of all my students this year and I am grateful that I have been given a printer to show off all their amazing work they have completed this school year. We want to thank all of you for your generosity and kindness. We appreciate you!”

  • Color Our World With a Color Printer!

    Funded Sep 3, 2020

    I want to begin by thanking you for donating to my project. This school year has had many challenges to say the least. But, I must say that having a printer made a big difference with my online teaching. I was able to provide worksheets, packets, homework and classwork that was engaging for all my students.

    Our students were able to pick up their materials and copies each week in order to continue learning online. It made my lesson plans so much easier to plan. I was able to provide fun activities and worksheets even if we were all stuck at home. I was able to scan any document and send it to all the parents as reminders or even extra work.

    Once again thank you for bringing a sense of normalcy to my students during a global pandemic. Things have not been easy but knowing that I can print from home and teach all my students has been a blessing. Thank you!”

  • We Can Change The World With Technology!

    Funded Jan 19, 2017

    The chrome books that we received for our classroom have begun to make an impact on my 5th graders. They enjoy researching new topics they are learning in class, they have started using a coding website and are now creating their own game during our technology time. They enjoy typing their final essays on google doc, they have their own google account and feel more comfortable emailing me and each other for their assignments.

    Allowing them to use the chrome books and give them time to navigate the web for their research is such an amazing feeling as an educator. Seeing how they get so excited to find facts and discover new things and teach the rest of the class what they learned, is so gratifying.

    I am seeing how they look forward for their time on the chrome books. I enjoy giving them the time and the liberty to become more familiar with certain aspects of the web and how to navigate to search engines and find the websites they think are most valuable for their topic. Group work has never been so much fun. They each take turns finding facts and they enjoy helping each other.

    I am very thankful for your kind donation to our classroom. This will continue to make a different in my classroom and it with every student that has access to our new chrome books. I can already see a change on their eagerness to learn new things. They just cant wait for their turn on the chrome book. Thank you from all of my students and myself!”

  • 5th-Graders Ready for College, But Need Technology!

    Funded Sep 15, 2014

    I want to start by thanking you on behalf of all of my students for taking the time to donate to our classroom. Our classroom laptop and printer have made a huge difference. It is awesome to see how much they enjoy to go on the internet and do some research and be able to print right away. They were very excited when they first saw the laptop and printer. Now, they already have a routine where they take turns daily and everyone gets an opportunity to use the laptop weekly.

    We have used the laptop and printer for their projects such as their State reports. They were all able to print information from the internet and use in their reports. They love printing!

    I am so glad that having this technology integrated into my daily routines has created an amazing atmosphere of learning in my class. They are so excited when its is their turn to use the laptop. My hope is that each student continues wanting to use more technology in more academic ways. Thank you!”

  • 1st Grade Ready Readers Need A Leveled Library!

    Funded Nov 6, 2013

    It was such a surprise to my students when we received our non-fiction library. They were all extremely excited to open up each book and read! Our curriculum is now focusing on non-fiction literature and having this library in our class has been a blessing. I allowed my students to take a look at all the books right away because they all couldn't wait. They decided to right a non-fiction book report on a book of their choice and most importantly at their level. Having this leveled library makes them feel successful when they read books at their level.

    My students use these books on a daily basis. During our workshop time my class is divided into small groups and each group does a different center. My read to someone and read to self center is one of their favorites because of this library. They get a chance to write a quick non-fiction report on any book of their choice. They love learning new facts from these non-fiction books. Their favorite part is reading their leveled book to their partner. They are able to read to their partner because they are reading books at their independent level. They finally enjoy reading and feel successful doing it.

    I recently gave my students a reading assessment and I had a 20% growth. I can see the benefit of providing students with enjoyable and fun reading material. But, most importantly its reading at their level. They are learning and enjoying themselves at the same time. I will be forever grateful. Thank You!”

  • Golden Eagles Soaring High

    Funded Jun 24, 2012

    Thank you for your recent generous gift of donating to my classroom. The Phonemic Awareness kit you have provided to our classroom has already made a difference in my students ability to recognize sounds and understand rhyming words. These games are so fun and they really enjoy our workstation time because of these games.

    Most of my students are English Language Learners and it is hard for them to be able to pronounce sounds and recognize them. But, with these games they are having so much fun and at the same time internalizing all the material. They are so much more aware of the sounds in words and they love to say rhyming words all day.

    This kit has made a big impact in my class and its all thanks to you! My class and I are so thankful for generosity. Thank you for caring!”

    With gratitude,
