  • Bounce With Me!

    Funded Apr 15, 2025

    Thank you so much for you generous donation and belief in this project. I know the trampoline will bring a little more joy into each day and ignite motivation to learn. We are beyond grateful for your thoughtfulness and I look forward to seeing the students react to the new addition! Thank you!”

  • Kindergarten Complete! Gifts and a Reminder Always Be YOUrself!

    Funded Apr 9, 2025

    Thank you for your support and generosity! We are extremely grateful and know the kids will be excited to receive these gifts at the end of the year. This is one less thing for us to worry about during a year with lots of moving parts. We are so grateful!”

  • Fuel We Need to Succeed!

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generosity and help to bring this project to life. Students were so surprised watching me unbox the materials and were excited to see the new treats entering the treasure box. I can already tell the unicorns and cars are going to be a fan favorite and leave first!

    I am especially grateful for the laminating sheets to help extend the life of many materials. Scholars routinely use alphabet charts as well as games during centers that need to be laminated to stand up to the use of Kindergarten students nearly every day.

    Again, thank you for your kindness. We are so grateful.”

  • Stickers, Snacks, and Treasure Box Treats

    Funded May 15, 2024

    Thank you for supporting this project. We are grateful for your generosity and assistance in bringing this project to life!

    The stickers are a great incentive and are quick and easy to distribute. Students love the princesses and superheroes and cannot believe we know their names.

    The snacks helped us refuel as we closed our year. We were able to use them when needed and even were able to have an end of year celebration with some of the snacks. The treasure box treats were a welcome surprise and students worked hard to earn their way to the treasure box.”

  • Kindergarten Complete! Gifts and a Reminder Always Be YOUrself!

    Funded May 30, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity and support of this project! The rising first graders were ecstatic to receive their gifts and beamed with pride as they showed their families.

    The bubbles are always a student favorite and the parents cherish the Certifcate of Completion. We hope the message the book conveys carries students beyond elementary school and provides a gentle reminder to always be their authentic selves.

    The Kindergarten Team is so grateful and hope to continue this tradition each year.”

  • Field Trip Ready!

    Funded Mar 27, 2024

    Yesterday, we took our first trip since receiving the materials and it was so much easier than carrying backpacks or searching for extra bags for students to tote items. Scholars were excited to have something that everyone else had to carry lunches and were extremely surprised to see their very own water bottles.

    The bags are so bright that we can easily spot our students even when we travel with the entire grade level. These bags will serve us well for quite some time and we are incredibly grateful for your support.”

  • Housekeeping - Help Us Replenish Items!

    Funded Apr 4, 2024

    Thank you much for your kindness and generosity! Because of it, our classroom is a much cleaner and quieter space 🙂 Scholars enjoy the mango smell at arrival and while they don't say it, I know they appreciate a clean working area. We've been able to use the sprays to clean our working areas throughout the day, especially after breakfast. The headphones help limit the noise during centers so that students working with technology can focus on their work and others around them can focus in their perspective centers. Our classroom dynamic has changed and as we near the end of the year, students are laser focused on ensuring they are first grade ready! Thank you for caring about us and this project.”

    With gratitude,

Each day, during literacy and math workstation time a group of students work on technology improving their literacy and math skills through the use of iReady and Lexia. We began the school year with enough technology for each student to visit the technology station at least once each week for literacy and math and rapidly our laptops stopped working. As a result,​ technology is home to three students each day during the literacy and math blocks. The priority is given to students who need the most help in various areas so students who have a firm grasp of the material are disappointed to realize it isn't their turn at technology. I love that my students challenge themselves and each other and even loaned my personal laptop for use in technology for a couple of weeks and I am disappointed that some of them have gone multiple weeks without the challenge.
