Getting Ready for Kindergarten!
Funded Jun 25, 2024Because of your generosity, I am able to provide a calm and inviting learning environment. Our classroom rug makes our meeting area bright and comfortable. The book bins are a great addition to our library and has helped with keeping it organized. The soothing colors that surround our classroom helps our students stay focused. Everyone that walks into our room has said how beautiful it is. And that is because of you. I was able to execute this for my students thanks to you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I really appreciate you supporting my vision for my classroom and making it OUR happy place!”

Enhancing Learning Through Adequate Resources
Funded Mar 12, 2024I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of new classroom resources. Your contribution will have an impact on the education and development of my students. They were excited about reading new decodable books that support their learning. I am also very excited about being able to use the Cricut machine to label bins, bulletin boards, folders and so much more in the classroom. Having new ink cartridges has allowed me to print work for my kids right from my classroom. Your donation has most definitely made teaching a little bit easier and for that I am so grateful.
Once again, thank you for your generosity and commitment to our school community. My students and I truly appreciate your support.”

Discovery Through Hands-On Learning
Funded Dec 23, 2022Your generosity has enabled us to open up a space for our students to engage in meaningful hands-on activities. Although we strive to provide more of these opportunities for our learners, creating these experiences can be expensive and/or time consuming as a classroom teacher.
Our students have been so eager and excited to use the learning centers. It has been wonderful watching them play, learn and socialize in the Discovery Center. These learning centers will support our learners in math, literacy and STEM. There are so many opportunities and ways to utilize all of these learning tools all thanks to people like you who care.”

sPRINTing Into Kindergarten!
Funded Sep 30, 2021Because of your generosity, my coteacher and I have been able to provide colorful centers, anchor charts, images, and worksheets to help them with their learning. I believe having these materials in our classroom will enhance our print-rich environment which in turn will eventually help our students read and write. There is nothing better than being able to provide our learners with a learning experience that they deserve. From the bottom of all our hearts in my classroom, we appreciate you for making this happen.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 4 other donors.Safety For All
Funded Sep 22, 2020Since receiving the materials, my students have been able to sit comfortably on carpet squares and keep their distance from each other. Thanks to the cleaning supplies, we have been able to keep our classroom clean and safe for everyone. The colored tape has allowed us to mark areas in the room where the furniture should be for distancing. We plan on creating a number line for the students on the floor as well with the tape. We can't wait! With the plastic zipper baggies, we have kept our centers clean and separate.
The students have really enjoyed having their own playdoh to form letters and sight words.
We sincerely appreciate all of these materials that have enhanced my students' learning experience.”

Rockin’ It in KINDERGARTEN
Funded Dec 6, 2019Thank you so much for your contribution to our classroom. Because of your generosity, I have been able to print center activities and anchor charts in color. Having the ability to laminate these items will allow our materials to not only last longer but also to use them numerous times with dry erase markers because the plastic makes it erasable. These materials will also allow me to create individualized flash cards for each student to practice what they are learning at home.
Maintaining a spotless floor in Kindergarten isn't always easy. Having a Swiffer in our classroom has really helped keep our floor clean everyday throughout the day.
I sincerely appreciate your donation and making my job a little easier in keeping my students engaged in learning.”

Funded Jan 25, 2018Thank you so much for your support! The moment my students saw the new materials, they were ecstatic. They were so happy to come into a classroom with new furniture and rug. My students and I really appreciate your donation. Because of you, my students are working better. The new furniture allows them to pay more attention, sit comfortably, listen attentively and work collaboratively. It allows me to confer with more than one student at a time and provide immediate feedback. The rug has made the classroom brighter and definitely more comfortable. Thanks again for making a difference and changing our learning environment.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The First Million Fund and 6 other donors.The Heart of the Classroom
Funded Sep 8, 2013First, I must say thank you so much!
I received the classroom rug while my students were in lunch. I was immediately so excited and appreciative. I began to envision how my students would react as soon as they saw it and what great experiences they were about to have. As they walked into the classroom and noticed the rug, they cheered and applauded. It was priceless to watch. They described it as beautiful, big, comfortable, and colorful. They loved how there was enough space for everyone to sit comfortably.
Ever since we've had the rug, sitting in the meeting area is now very organized which allows me to assign them a partner to talk to much easier than before. Because it is more comfortable with the rug, they are able to extend their sitting time. It is much easier for them to stay seated and pay attention. Students also like to sit on it during independent reading time. It has definitely helped them stay more focused during a read aloud as well.
This rug has brightened our classroom in more ways than one. Thanks to you for helping make that happen. From the bottom of my heart and my first graders'...Thanks for your generosity!”
