We Can Now Cut and Write!
Funded May 8, 2024Thank you for helping me get my projected funded for my students who have fine motor challenges. The project was able to get the students the needed materials we needed which is helping them learn new strategies and improve fine motor skills. The materials have helped them improve their spatial organization when writing and cutting. They have been able to make gains and improvement with their ability to be aware of spatial ordering when writing letters, words, and sentences on a page. I have seen improvement in their ability to use the lines on paper, which includes improvement with spacing between letters, awareness of the margins and correcting misspelled words because they can see and understand what they are writing. I can not thank you enough!”

Funded May 7, 2024Thank you so much in supporting my project to continue my membership with the International Literacy Association. Through my membership, I am been able to continue taking professional development opportunities that are based around current research in all things literacy. These current practices include new knowledge and understanding on how to incorporate and use new teaching strategies based around the Science of Reading. Also, I have been able to learn more on the topic of Dyslexia, a subject and area I feel that I always can learn more about. Again, thank you for your support in helping me fund my project. My students appreciate their teacher keeping up on best practices and new knowledge about all things literacy.”

Funded Jan 30, 2024Thank you so much for helping my classroom get a charging station for our Chromebooks. This item has helped keep the Chromebooks charged and organized. Our students no longer worry about whether or not they will have a device ready to use when it is time for our online lessons and learning. The amount of stress as a teacher due to not having the space or outlets available for the students to charge was so much of a burden that I can not thank you enough for the great impact your donation you gave and the devices we got to help the students. Thank you so much.”

We Can Hear!
Funded Nov 29, 2023Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. The students truly appreciate having the headphones for use in the classroom. The impact of getting headphones for all of our students has helped in many ways. First, the students are now able to hear the activity or lesson that they are working on without distraction from other student's computers. They are focused on only their lesson because everyone now has headphones to listen. The room is a much more quiet and calm room with the use of the headphones because we no longer have the competing sounds of everyone trying to listen to their Chromebook. My co-teacher, my students and myself can' thank you enough!”

Funded Oct 12, 2023I can not thank you enough for all of your help! Having the ability to use a touch screen monitor large enough to present as well as for the students to use to learn has been amazing. The increase in engagement during lessons and the ability to modify lessons to include online presentations has been truly wonderful. I wish you could see the change from only paper, pencil and paper charts to presenting with an electronic format! There was an added benefit that I did not expect to see and use, many of my students need additional support in vocabulary and being able to find the just right image to help them see and understand has been immensely helpful. Thank you so much for your support with my classroom.”

Funded Aug 2, 2023Thank you so much for your generosity in helping my classroom get the amazing phonics kits! They have been a great learning tool for my students who are learning to read. The ability for the students to manipulate word parts with tools that they can see and use in varied ways have been such a visual help for them. They are excited to use them everyday and you can tell that even with everyday use, the kits will be able to last long term. Seeing the student excited to learn to read has been such a heartwarming thing to experience. I can't thank you enough.”

Funded Mar 23, 2023Thank you so much for helping my classroom get a table. My classroom situation is not "normal" in the sense that you walk in and find desks provided for the students. I am a special education teacher and share a room with another special education teacher. When students come to my room the only space they have to learn is at a "kidney" shaped table that I use for small group instruction. Prior to getting this project funded, I did not have additional work space for students and or myself to break away and have another area to work. Now that we have this table, it has been and is currently being used to provide addition work space for students. When students need a more quiet work area and or space, they now have it. Thank you so much!”

Mo Willems, More Books!
Funded Mar 30, 2023I can't thank you enough for your help with getting these wonderful books for my classroom! If you have never see the excitement that books can bring to a student, I wish you could have experienced in person when our books were delivered to our classroom.
My students absolutely love all the Mo Willems books we added to our classroom library. Having these books available for the students to read inspired those who were reluctant to pick up a book - pick up a book. Those same students who wouldn't pick up a book started to try and read. This project warmed my heart like no other. I seriously can't thank you enough for helping my students find a love in reading books that they love.”

Funded Mar 22, 2023I can not thank you enough for your generous donations in helping support my classroom. Your generosity helped my classroom get stools for our small group area. The seating arrangements we had prior were not safe in some cases and or appropriate depending on the size of the student. The "cool" blue stools that we were able to get have been a wonderful solution to our seating challenges. Now my students have seating that is comfortable, safe and flexible. It doesn't matter what size a student may be, because the stools accommodate everyone (even teachers who come to visit love to sit on the stools.) Again, I can't thank you enough for your help in getting the stools for our classroom.”
