• Books for Kindergarten!

  Funded Aug 24, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom! The On Strike books and the writing journals have been a great addition to the classroom.

  Kindergarteners are exposed to a lot of new materials at the beginning of the year and the On Strike books complemented my lessons for each material. I would read the book and then we would do an activity using that particular material. I would make sure I was giving out plenty of compliments to those students who were using the material correctly and being responsible.

  The students love their Writing Journals! We use them almost every day! They love to draw and many of them are starting to explore writing. I can see their progress already from the beginning of the year!

  I express my deepest gratitude for helping supply these important materials to our classroom.”

• Back to School Essentials!

  Funded Aug 9, 2023

  I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to our classroom. Your support has made an impact on my students and we are truly grateful for your kindness.

  The shoe rack helped with organization of headphones. The students use these daily with their computers and it provides a safe area for the headphones so they don't become damaged. It always them to be more responsible with their belongings.

  The students were very excited for their book baggies and this made me happy to see that they really couldn't wait to take home books to read. They are very durable and I'm sure will last the entire year. There is nothing I love more than to see books in children's hands!

  And last but not least; the sketch books! When I told them that they were generously donated they were so very thankful and some even said how nice it was to the person that donated them to us :) They enjoyed decorating them and they want to sketch in them every opportunity they get! We have a long and busy day and the books create an outlet for them.

  Again, thank you so much for making such a positive impact on our classroom environment!”

• Get Organized!

  Funded Sep 1, 2021

  Thanks to you, we started the school year on the right foot! The classroom looked great and everything was in it's own place just waiting to be used.

  Going over classroom procedures and routines is always something that is of high priority in the first few months of school. I was able to create center folders using the binders,folders and card stock. I showed the children where the binder centers were and how to use some of the centers. They loved the bright colors and how everything was organized.

  I had to take an unexpected leave, but I was sure to tell the substitute in charge about the centers and how I wanted them managed and organized.

  I'm happy to say that the students are continuing to enjoy them and they are learning and growing each day.

  Thank you so much for your contribution to our classroom.”

• Aiding in the Love of Reading!

  Funded Sep 9, 2020

  Thank you for providing our classroom (in person and virtual) with these wonderful resources!

  I use the chart paper almost every day. I write the poem of the week on it and the students help me act out the poem as we read it. The adhesive backing allows me to display it for the week and allows me to easily move it around. I also use it for our Shared Reading lessons. We have done sequencing and retelling using the chart paper. This primary-lined paper is wonderful for my Kindergarteners! While having the paper displayed in the classroom, they can look to it as a resource to see how we properly form letters and how letters make words and sentences. They also love the smell of the scented markers as I am writing!

  We have been in and out of the classroom since our start in September due to COVID 19, so I decided to use the dry erase paper at home in my "virtual classroom." The first time I did remote learning, I soon realized I needed to make my environment more appealing to my "Littles" as well as more productive for myself. I created a whiteboard at home and it has been a life saver for me. It also makes remote learning a little more personal, rather than me always sharing a screen with them.

  Thank you again for giving our classroom these resources. Our classrooms may look a lot different this year, but the love of learning never stops and I will continue to try and provide the best possible environment for my students!”

• No Child Should Be Left Behind

  Funded Jun 26, 2008

  I wanted to thank you for funding the English Language Arts materials that I had requested. I know these materials will help them greatly, especially those who are having difficulty with Reading. These materials will help make the learning more fun. The children will be extremely excited to use the materials. I'm excited as well. These activities and games will make it easier for me to differentiate my instruction. Thank you again for your kindness!

• Big Book Display

  Funded Dec 21, 2005

  I want to send my warmest thanks for the funding of the Big Book Display. It is going to be a much needed resource for our classroom library. It will make it easier for the children to choose thematic books for the month. Also, it will encourage the children to make up their own stories. They will love to see their books on display. Thanks again so much for your generosity.

  Fondly,

• New Teacher in Search of a Needed Resource--a Writing Easel!

  Funded Nov 10, 2005

  I wanted to take this opportunity to extend my deepest thanks to you. I was so excited when I opened my e-mail. I know the children will be ecstatic when they find out our classroom will be getting a much needed easel. It's wonderful to know that there are people out there who care about the future of America. Thank you again. I can't wait to tell the children”
