  • Comfortable Community Rug

    Funded Oct 17, 2024

    We truly appreciate your donation to our classroom. We unrolled the rug and put it down on our floor right away! The children were so excited to see the new pattern. They jumped right in and helped me unroll it. They had so many ideas on the perfect spot for it. We use this rug daily during our small group lessons. The flowers serve as a great seat spot so each child stays in their own space. This rug was such a wonderful addition to our classroom and make it's extra cozy and comfortable! We couldn't wait to ditch our well loved older rug and replace it with this new beautiful one. Thank you so much!!”

  • Literacy and Language

    Funded Apr 13, 2024

    Thank you so much for adding to our library of books! Your donation provided students with early readers that have been perfect for my students who are learning English. The students were so excited to open the packages when they were delivered! They helped me organize and write our room number on each book. They loved feeling like a teacher!

    The level A readers were especially useful for my newcomer students. They would look at the book and feel confident talking about the pictures and sharing their English vocabulary. We use these books in our reading groups and children also explore them independently. They are truly a great resource for my young readers.”

  • Games and Headphones Needed!

    Funded Dec 1, 2023

    Thank you so much for your amazing and generous donation to our classroom. The headphones arrived at a perfect time to help us practice our speaking skills. The students really love that these headphones have the microphone attached. We use these headphones to talk about things we sees in pictures and practice speaking to a computer to prepare us for ACCESS testing. The students can sometimes be shy when speaking to a computer so this was a great start to help them get comfortable with this skill.

    The games donated were a huge hit! I love to incorporate academic games into my lessons. We love learning while we are playing. We will often have a fun Friday filled with games when we finish our work. The students favorite has been splat! They are really learning their sight words and letters with this game. Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom!”

  • Flexible Fun for ESL Students

    Funded Jul 8, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom! The items in this donation were amazing to have at the start of our school year. The laminator has been a helpful and useful addition to our class. I have used it so much already! It warms up quickly and I can even laminate two sheets at a time. I have created so many games and visuals for the children and they will last us so much longer due to being laminated. The clipboards are a class favorite. They love to use the clipboards as we complete work together on the rug. They love the bright colors! When we first got them they put them up to their eyes and one students said "Miss Keenan look! Everything is red!". Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated.”

  • Supply Storage

    Funded Aug 22, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. Our classroom is a small cozy space without much storage space. Thanks to your amazing donation our space is now much more organized and welcoming. Students are now able to easily see books and materials needed for their learning. The shelves are used for books and materials such as whiteboards and clipboards. I love that students can independently access the tools they need to assist them with their work. Your donation means so much to us and we are so thankful for you!”

  • Diverse Books For Our Diverse Classroom

    Funded Mar 30, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. The students were very excited to explore the new books we received. My newcomers were especially excited to see the Brazil books. They kept yelling "Brazil, Brail!". They couldn't wait to read them and asked me to read the books right away! It was so great to see their enthusiasm for these new books.

    We spend a lot of time reading new books and discussing elements of the texts. We also spend time reading and discussing important social emotional topics. Thanks to your donation our classroom library just grew with some great new titles to explore.”

  • An Organized Learning Space!

    Funded Dec 23, 2022

    My students were very excited when they saw large boxes delivered to our classroom. They couldn't wait to find out what was in them. Their faces lit up with excitement when they heard someone donated these materials to our classroom.

    Our classroom is small and was in need of some storage space. I'm looking forward to putting together our new shelves and organizing our notebooks, folders and learning materials. This will help my students know where to find materials needed for the lesson. Your generosity and kindness means so much to us and it truly appreciated!”

  • Math Supplies for English Language Learners

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    My students were beyond thrilled to receive new learning materials! They were so excited to see the box and open it together. Their faces lit up with excitement when they heard someone donated these materials to our classroom.

    They couldn't wait to explore the activities! They had so much fun playing the game together and learning. It was heartwarming to watch them as they explored and learned together.

    We use our new materials during our small group learning time. These resources have helped the students with skills such as letter and sound recognition and place value. They love fun Fridays when they get to choose which game/activity they can explore. You have truly made a difference in the education of these little learners!”

  • Color Printer for English Language Learners!

    Funded Sep 21, 2022

    This colored printer has brightened and added excitement to our lessons and materials. I have been able to print many games in color and the students love them! It makes our work so much more appealing and engaging when our work is colorful and bright. I also print many anchor charts and visuals that support my English learners immensely. They love our colorful vocabulary wall filled with pictures and words. They use this vocabulary wall daily and refer to the pictures to help support their English. Your donation has made a huge impact on these little learners!”

If there is any part of the school day where each and every student has their complete attention on the teacher, it is during a read aloud. Children love to be read to and they listen so intently while they are listening to a story. However, as a special education teacher I notice some of my students have trouble reading independently and staying on task throughout the entire reading period. Also, some of their favorite texts may not be accessible to every reader. I chose books that my students love each and every year. We also do an author study on Kevin Henkes so I chose many of his books. I would love to have a listening center in my classroom to help keep my students engaged and learning during independent reading. A listening center will help engage my students and increase their reading ability. Students can listen to the story while following along in their own text. Please help our classroom add this listening center to our daily reading routine. I know my students would love it and truly benefit from this center!
