  • Classroom Token Economy Promotes Positive Behavior

    Funded Aug 1, 2022

    Thank you so much for fully funding this project! I cannot express how happy students will be when they are able to utilize their tokens to shop in the classroom store. I have enough nonfood supplies to last for a couple of months. I am so thankful you decided to fund this project.

    I am wondering what the most liked gadget will be in the store. They will have so many options which gives all students a chance to find something they enjoy.

    Once again, I truly thank you for funding this project.”

  • Math Resources to the Rescue

    Funded Aug 1, 2022

    Thank you for funding my project, Math Resources to the Rescue. As stated, I am switching departments this year and will be teaching math. In the next few weeks, I will be working on setting up my classroom. Your donations will help ensure my students will have a learning environment where they feel comfortable.

    I will be using some of the materials to create games for the students to play during math centers. Students will absolutely love receiving the scratch and sniff stickers on their graded assignments.”

  • TPT Gift Cards = Engaging Activities for Students

    Funded Aug 1, 2022

    Thank you for fully funding this project. Your generous donation has allowed for me to purchase items on Teachers Pay Teachers site. The Teachers Pay Teachers store is also having a sale. Due to the sale and your donation, I can get activities for my students to utilize when working in centers. I have a lot of laminating and cutting in my future. But I cannot wait to get everything organize and ready to go for the students.

    I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness; it means a lot to me.”

  • Earbuds and more

    Funded Jul 8, 2022

    Thank you so much for contributing to this project. I have already transformed the toolbox to meet my needs. I have enclosed a picture of it.

    The earbuds are so helpful, and the students will love them. I have already started laminating for the upcoming year and love the poly envelopes.

    I wish I would have thought to use them to hold centers years ago.

    Thank you again for your donation to helping this project get fully funded. I am so thankful you selected my project, your kindness amazes me.”

  • MISSION: To Obtain Sensory Devices for Students

    Funded Jul 8, 2022

    I cannot express what it means to create a project it has it fully funded. One way to describe is it feels like I am a little kid on Christmas Day. I am so thankful for your help and for making this project fully funded. I know for a fact, that the students are going to love all the sensory devices that were purchased. One act of kindness goes a long way and you have helped put smiles on many of the faces of my future fifth graders. I am truly thankful for the funding and am excited to get my classroom set up for the start of the 2022-2023 school year.”

  • Outdoor Recess with Toys = Tons of FUN!

    Funded Jun 9, 2022

    I cannot even begin to express how overwhelmed with happiness I was when this project was funded. Our fifth-grade team did not have any outdoor recess equipment including a playground. It bothered me and I knew I was not going to be able to purchase enough supplies for all the students to utilize by myself. I am so grateful that you decided to pick this project to help fund, your donation is so appreciated. I cannot wait to see the students enjoying the equipment that was funded by this project.

    Thank you again for donating to this project.”

  • WANTED: Wobbly Chairs for Wiggly Students

    Funded Jul 8, 2022

    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

    The wobbly chairs are amazing. My own kids tested them out and absolutely loved them.

    These chairs are perfect for my classroom, I am thinking of getting enough of them to replace all of the chairs in my classroom. I can't wait to get into to my classroom to set up everything up. I am so thankful and honored that you supported my project. I get so excited when one of my projects get fully funded; you would think I was a little kid on Christmas day.

    Thank you again for your support!”

  • No More Desks and Chairs

    Funded Jun 9, 2022

    I am so excited to use these wobbly chairs in my classroom. The students are going to love them. I like them so much I am thinking of replacing all the chairs in my classroom with wobbly chairs. I teach 3 block periods a day so the students will receive a nice break from the traditional chairs when they enter my classroom. The wobbly chairs are very lightweight and do not take up a lot of room so students can easily put these up on the desk at the end of each school day.

    Thank you so much for helping to fund this project, every time one of my projects gets funded, I get so excited you would think it was Christmas. Your kindness amazes me.”

  • Ear Buds for Distance Learners

    Funded Sep 4, 2020

    This orject allowed for students to utilize their earbuds throughout the pandemic. Students would report to school for two days and then have three days of online learning at their house. These earbuds came in handy for students both in the home and school setting. They could play videos ir have passages read to them without disturbing those around them.

    Most of the students took great care of their ear buds and kept them throughout the school year. A couple of other students had to receive replacements.

    For the price of the earbuds, all of them seemed to work.

    Thank you again gor geniosity and supportung this project.”

  • Supplying Students With Individual Materials

    Funded Aug 17, 2020

    Thank you so much for donating to this project. Your thoughtfulness and generosity are very much appreciated. The students enjoyed receiving the earbuds and used them when working in their hybrid learning environment, whether they were at home or school.

    I will continue to utilize this brand of earbuds in the future with my classes since they worked so well this year. When working on the Chromebook, students were able to plug in their earbuds to listen to videos or have passages read to them.

    Thank you again for contributing to making sure this project was fully funded.”

    This classroom project was brought to life by Marks Family Foundation and 8 other donors.
The upcoming school year is approaching quickly and students will not able to share classroom supplies due to the pandemic our country is currently experiencing. Please assist in providing students with individual supplies to help stop the spread of Covid-19 within the classroom. This project will allow for every student to receive a pencil pouch to keep their supplies separate from others. Inside the pencil pouches will be individual pencil sharpeners, which will help eliminate students visiting the classroom pencil sharpener. Let's come together to provide the best outcome possible for these students as they return to school during these challenging times.
