Young Readers Need Decodable Texts to Succeed!
Funded Dec 30, 2024I cannot describe in words all the excitement and joy that my students felt when I opened the boxes of books for them to enjoy in the classroom. They immediately grabbed a decodable text and started looking inside, browsing pages. Some students even wanted to take books with them to the cafeteria so that they could read during recess and lunch time. My students will benefit from using these texts to acquire language, vocabulary, and develop reading skills and strategies. Your generous gift has been enjoyed by my students to the fullest. Every single day, it will greatly impact their learning. I strongly believe in installing the love for reading and learning at an early age. Yet fostering that love and growth could have never been possible without the support of donors like you. On behalf of my students and of the hundreds of students that have yet to benefit from your generous donation, THANK YOU!!!!!"”

Learning Toys to Keep My Kindergarteners Motivated!
Funded Apr 16, 2024Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to support us in providing students with treats that will bring them joy. I am delighted that this project has been FULLY FUNDED, and I could not have done it without each and every one of you!
Thank you for empowering my mission to make my students feel special. Since I have been using treats in my classroom, students are more motivated to turn in their assignments, participate in class, and remain competitive with their peers. Students who usually don't do their work or demonstrate positive behaviors will be motivated to see their peers get treats such as squeeze balls, slime, fidgety and educational toys for behaving and work completed. I cannot thank you enough for your kind hearts and donations.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Carter's | OshKosh B'gosh.Supplies for a Fantastic Year!
Funded Jan 11, 2024Thank you so much for helping fund this project. My students and I are grateful for your generosity! These materials will help keep my students engage and organized while being in the classroom learning and developing.
My students exploded in happiness and joy once they were given individual erasers and crayons; some were able to take home materials to use while completing their homework. We also received a class phonics kit that we put into use during our literacy centers. Besides keeping my students engage and organized, these materials are helping my students to strengthen their literacy skills while discovering the joys of learning.
I continue to teach with the belief that all students, no matter which community they live in or diverse backgrounds, can achieve at high levels. I know that this important work cannot be done without the continued support of donors like you. Your support is deeply appreciated by my students and self and be certained that we are all thankful and benefiting from all these. Thanks again!”

Funded Nov 28, 2023Thank you for your generous donations! I'm so honored that you donated to this project. My students were ecstatic when I opened the brand-new boxes filled with snacks. I cannot express how much this means for the students I serve.
Your generous gift is something that my children enjoy every day, and it has a significant impact on their learning and future.
I believe strongly in instilling a love of learning at a very young age, but it is almost impossible to do this when kids are hungry. Bringing snacks to my classroom would never be possible without the support of donors like you. I sincerely appreciate your support, and so do my healthy eaters. Thank you!!”

This classroom project was brought to life by An Anonymous Funder and 5 other donors.Tools, Tools, and More Tools To Become Successful Mathematicians!
Funded Sep 29, 2022First, I would like to say thank you on behalf on my students and self. You have put a smile on every student in my classroom with your contributions.
In our math workshop, many of my students struggle understanding and grasping mathematical concepts. Having all these hands-on materials and math centers available has helped my students acquired math knowledge and developed math concepts that they need in order to be successful mathematicians. Your contributions has helped my students acquire and understand abstract skills and develop their love for math.
Having these resources available in our classroom help my students reach their full potential as mathematicians and prepare them with problem-solving skills, as well. These math resources are being used as engaging tools for math instruction and to help us teach math in a meaningful way.
My students' focus and interest in math have improved significantly since the arrival of these resources. It feels me with joy when they come to me to tell/show me about how they can use these materials to model the math.
Once again, I would like to thank each of you for your kind donations.”
