Funded May 21, 2024We are beyond grateful for your generous contributions to our classroom! The crafts and games for Fun Friday have brought so much excitement and joy to our students. They look forward to it all week, and it has become a time for them to bond, use their creativity, and work on their social skills in such a fun and engaging way.

The wobble stools have also been an absolute hit. They help our energetic first graders release their wiggles while learning, allowing them to stay focused longer and feel more comfortable.

Funded May 8, 2024Thank you so much for your kindness and support in helping our first-grade classroom! The wobble stools have made a huge difference in keeping our students comfortable and focused during lessons. They absolutely love having the option to move while learning, and it has created such a positive impact on their engagement and concentration.
The dry erase clipboards are another fantastic addition to our classroom! They allow students to work flexibly around the room, whether they're practicing their writing or solving math problems. The fact that they can erase and try again has encouraged them to take more risks and feel more confident in their learning.

Funded Dec 6, 2023Thank you so much for your generosity towards the students in my classroom. Because of your donation, we were able to have some fun new materials to brighten our day. The kids love coming into the classroom seeing our new string lights on the ceiling. It's give the kids a sense of comfort, excitement and joy. The new wallpaper allowed me to create a calming and beautiful word wall to display all our trick words and words of the day. They reference these ok a daily basis and It really brightens up our room. The magnetic numbers and letters are a great way to display the date or a message to the kids on our whiteboard.
Thank you again! This wouldn't be possible, without you!”

Funded Sep 20, 2023Thank you for your donation. Because of you, my students have enjoyed a new and exciting word wall, transportation wall, decorative classroom and exciting STEM activities. We use these resources multiple times a day.
The word wall is the largest wall in our classroom. It contains all of our new words we are learning in class. Each time they need to use one of these words in their writing, they look to the word wall to find out how to spell the words correctly. It helps that this large wall is now appealing and exciting for them.”

Hands-on Learning!
Funded Jan 19, 2023Thank you very much for your donation to create more hands-on learning in our classroom. The kids loved the materials. I created learning centers and used the reusable mesh bags to store each station. This allows for easy access and organization for myself and the students.
The Rekenrek sets were a great addition. They loved being able to have something concrete when thinking about making and breaking apart 10. It is my hope that this will allow the concrete and visual learners to understand number concepts in a better way.
These materials will be used for years to come. Our math program really stresses the use of the Rekenrek's for mastery of number concepts.
My classes in the future will also be able to benefit from your donations.”

Success for All
Funded Nov 29, 2022The impact of these items has influenced our every day routines. Students use the double sided white boards during reading, math and centers through whole group activities as wel as independent work. This allows each child to create their own response while still having a controlled lesson if correction is necessary. The kids were so thrilled about their new boards and markers and have been loving these activities ever since.
Our new chairs are awesome! With flexible seating, my students choose their seat every day. These were the hot item to choose. They are modern, fun and exciting.
The math resources are great for hands on learning and making the classroom a fun, creative and exciting environment for all kids.
From the bottom of our joyful hearts, we thank you for your contribution to our classroom. You truly have made an impact on our classroom!”

They are able to receive the pencils as prizes and incentives for doing well. When they have earned to sit at the V.I.P. table for the day, the love using the silly fuzzy pens.
