• Celebrating Cinco De Mayo!

  Funded Apr 29, 2024

  Today we celebrated Cinco de Mayo as a class and what a wonderful day it was! We started the day of reading the story of Cinco de Mayo and then parading with the hats, shawls and funny mustaches. The kids had the best time! We then read Chicks and Salsa and indulged in a snack of chips & salsa! For many of the kids, it was their first experience trying salsa, and it was fun to see them enjoy it. The kids loved learning about and celebrating a holiday that they may not normally know of and it was truly a blast! We thank and appreciate your generosity in bringing this project to life and giving my little learners an opportunity to have fun!”

• Butterfly, Why?

  Funded Apr 14, 2024

  Thank you to each and everyone of you, that generously donated and believed in my students.

  Seeing my students faces light up with excitement, I knew this was the best hands on learning opportunity for them.

  We received our caterpillars early this week. We were able to get the experience the life cycle of the caterpillars and butterflies. My students are also learning the correct vocabulary of the caterpillar and butterflies life cycle process.

• Kindergarten Supplies

  Funded Feb 5, 2024

  I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to you for your generous contribution to my project. The items requested have gone a long way in maximizing the learning that happens in my classroom. The headphones in particular have provided students with a tool that helps them concentrate and complete their educational apps with no distractions. The kids are all absolutely obsessed with the bean bag chair and want to sit on it all the time. It has been a huge asset in our cozy corner. So once again, thank you for providing us with these tools!”

• Basic Supplies

  Funded Mar 11, 2024

  I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your generous support of this project and for my kindergarten students. The funding of this project allowed my students to get some necessary materials to continue their learning. The replacement toner cartridge was especially significant because it's allowed me to be able to print differentiated materials for my diverse learners, as well as the dry erase markers. My students love being able to practice their letter formation and spelling using the markers. The snacks have also been a huge asset because it helps to minimize the afternoon tantrums that occur when kids are hungry. Thank you again so very much for your generosity!”

• Colorful and Comfortable Rugs to Sit On

  Funded Jan 21, 2024

  My kindergarten students and I would like to extend our gratitude for your generous contribution to our colorful and comfortable carpets! We use the carpet in the front of our classroom every day throughout the day, from our Morning Meeting to all of our subject lessons.

  My students were surprised and excited to see our old, dirty, faded carpet replaced by a brand new colorful, bright and clean carpet.

  In addition to our new carpet contributing to a more visually appealing and pleasant experience in our meeting area, the individual squares facilitate a seating chart where children can sit in a specific spot. This feature further promotes a more effective learning environment as I can assign a square to each child depending on their individual learning needs.

  Thank you again for supporting my students' learning environment and experiences!”

• TPT For The Win!

  Funded Jan 14, 2024

  Thank you all so much for your generous donations that helped fund my project for a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card. I love the Teachers pay Teachers website and I get a lot of fun learning resources for my students. With this gift card I was able to purchase many holiday crafts that my students enjoyed making. They love making gifts for their family members and ornaments for their trees of doors.

  I was also able to purchase some fun learning games for them to take home. This way learning can still be going on even though we are on holiday break for a week.

  Thank you so much for caring about my little geniuses and helping me to provide the very best for them.”

• Snack Attack

  Funded Jan 11, 2024

  It is hard to downplay the power of basics being covered in the classroom. Without basic materials, students simply cannot learn effectively. We were struggling last year because with our early breakfast and late lunch time, students were hungry and this made focusing a big challenge. Thanks to your generosity, my students were most importantly no longer hungry during that long stretch of time! Additionally, they were learning more effectively throughout the day and could hold attention on the important topics we were studying in class.

  Snacks are such a basic supply, but they were not simple to us. They were crucial for my students' learning and wellbeing. Thank you for being there for us and supporting my students. We appreciate you more than you know! From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

• Special Education in Color

  Funded Jan 8, 2024

  While it may seem mundane, a printer and a copier are essential classroom tools. Not having reliable access to a printer or copier has been a huge hindrance and I am so elated that I am now able to use this technology to ensure that all of my students have the work they need to be successful.

  Not only does having a printer and copy machine in the classroom allow me to ensure that I am able to have work available for every student, but it also allows me to print differentiated worksheets for my students will different needs. It is truly an amazing difference!

  Thank you much for your generous donation and your support.”
