• Help Us Make Learning an Adventure

  Funded Aug 14, 2024

  I am appreciative of your willingness to help students and schools who may not be able to afford the supplies and resources they need. My students will work to improve their fine motor skills by using play doh and manipulatives. Stem is the future, so we are fortune to have a set of magna tiles that students can us to build, create and invent new things.

  My students are always excited when we receive packages. They were super excited when I open the box and they were able to obtain their own individual tubes of play doh. This item has made center time and name writing center very exciting to my students. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your donations.”

• Digital Tools

  Funded Sep 20, 2022

  The pandemic has caused us to use resources that were not available to us before and to think outside of the box when educating our students. Thanks to your generous donation to our class we were able to purchase digital resources to supplement our classroom tools.

  The materials I purchased from Teacher pay Teachers with my gift card allowed me to offer center activities and other fun games that are engaging. The students love working with these materials and games. Words alone cannot express how thankful I am to you! Thanks again!”

• Count Me In!

  Funded Apr 7, 2022

  Opening boxes is always an exciting time in our school. Excitement was everywhere when I announced to the class that our math project had been funded. The children couldn't wait to see all the fun things we had received through the generosity of complete strangers.

  These resources have been invaluable to the learning during our math block. The students look forward to engaging in center activities where they can use dominoes to help enhance their adding and subtracting skills. They also love using the rekenrek to help them identify numbers to twenty.

  We are truly grateful for all that you have done to help us improve our math skills through center work! THANKS!”

• Building a Solid Reading Foundation

  Funded Apr 7, 2022

  Your contribution to my class has been tremendous and I would like to take this opportunity to give you a huge THANK YOU! Your kindness has helped my students to continue to build a solid reading foundations. Students who were having difficulties with reading started using the magnetic word builder center daily. Afterwards, they would partner with stronger readers and build on the word strategies they mastered.

  My lower readers have shown growth by moving up at least 1 to 2 reading levels in the short time we have used this center. I am extremely proud of their accomplishments. It was all because of caring donors like you! Thank you for all you have done to help my students enjoy the love the reading!”

• Center of Attention!

  Funded Sep 23, 2021

  Your contribution to the education of my students mean so much to me. My students are a hard work group of kids who give 100 percent of themselves in an effort to learn the basic skills they need to succeed.

  Some of my students are struggling readers, so the items you helped to purchase for my class are used daily to help my students improve their reading and writing skills. We use these materials to create centers that students can use to build foundational reading and writing skills. My students especially enjoy the reading and writing build-a-sentence activities.

  I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your generous donation. Thanks again!”

• Digital Tools

  Funded Aug 12, 2021

  I work in a Title 1 school. Often, there are many materials or books that we do not have funds to purchase. But your donation has allowed me to be able to purchase digital worksheets and books for my students.

  Reading is especially important to me and my students. I am now able to purchase digital emergent readers that I can print and send home with my students to read. I am also able to print books for guided reading and small group instruction. Your donation has been a game changer for my reading workshop. My students are rapidly becoming readers and they love it.

  Thank you for the gift of reading that you have bestowed upon my students!”

• Cultivating Genius Through Literacy

  Funded Aug 22, 2021

  Introducing/exposing children to books at a very early age is the most vital thing a parent or teacher can do for that child. Your donation has allowed me to cultivate a love of reading within my students. Your donation has also allowed me to not only share my love of reading with my students, but you have allowed me to share books that reflect who they are. My students love seeing characters that look like them.

  Every day during reading time I enjoy hearing my students beg to have a certain book read to them or to be able to independently read a book. Your donation/gift has given my reading block a new life of its own. My students look forward to reading time. Thank You!!!!”

• File It in Here!

  Funded Sep 7, 2020

  First, I want to take the opportunity to thank you for your generosity. Your contribution to this project has helped my student to have a place to store all their work. Each day they are becoming more and more independent. They are learning to file away their work and they understand that their work has value because it has a special place in the class where it lives.

  The storage space has also allowed my students to keep their desk and work space clutter free. They are now able to locate books and other items more easily in their desk because the desk is no longer stuffed with work.

  Again, I truly thank you for your donation. On behalf of myself and my students, you have really made a different in the way we organize in our class. THANKS!”
