  • Young Readers Need Decodable Texts to Succeed!

    Funded Dec 30, 2024

    I 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, 2024

    Thank 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.”

  • Supplies for a Fantastic Year!

    Funded Jan 11, 2024

    Thank 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!”

  • Healthy Snacks for Amazing Kindergartners!

    Funded Nov 28, 2023

    Thank 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!!”

    Wow! Thank you all for your support to help fund this project! My students are cheerful about all the new activities, games, and worksheets we were able to buy with these gift cards. With these TPT gift cards, I purchased resources and activities that address Literacy, Math, Science, Mindfulness, Social Skills, and Emotional Well-being. I also purchased interactive, digital learning activities to provide the best learning experiences for my students. These resources greatly benefit all my students, but specially my special education students who need tailored, individualized instruction to succeed.

  • Tools, Tools, and More Tools To Become Successful Mathematicians!

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    First, 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.”

  • Learning Rewards to Keep Kindergartners Motivated!

    Funded Apr 8, 2022

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to support me in providing my students with rewards 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 started using a reward system in my classroom, students are more trigger to turn in their assignments, participate in class, and remain competitive with their peers, and present their best behaviors. Students who usually don't do their work or at least do not try their best, are being motivated to see their classmates get reward toys/incentives from our treasure box. These rewards have transformed the way my students work and behave in the classroom, the school, and at home. They work even harder now completing their class assignments, homework, and projects and their behavior have improved a lot ,as well. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity."”

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind, language of their choice. I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these. With these books, my students will be able to choose books at their different reading levels and the language of their choice, which will help them continue to enjoy reading and develop literacy skills and language. They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
