• A Place to Gather

  Funded Sep 1, 2023

  Thank you so much for our beautiful new carpet. The students were so excited when we unrolled the carpet and they were able to see it for the first time!

  We use the rug all the time. If you stop by our classroom, you can find us reading on it, working with partners during math, and in small groups throughout the day. The spots on the carpet also help us to have our own space to learn safely.

  We are so grateful to have people like you who support our learning and social skills building. Thank you so so much!”

  With gratitude,

• Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

  Funded Aug 13, 2019

  Wow! How lucky are we to have people like you that care so much about our kiddos! Thank you for helping me get these high interest non-fiction texts into my students' hands! They can't wait to read and discuss these articles with each other every week. We've read about food waste, the Amazon fires, robots and so much more! The students get so excited when the get delivered each month and often ask to reread the articles throughout the week.

  Thank you! Your kindness has made a difference and we are so grateful!”

• A Place to Gather

  Funded Aug 22, 2018

  Thank you so much for donating to our classroom. We cannot thank you enough for giving us a comfortable place to gather. We use our new rug multiple times a day, we enjoy mini-lessons there, greet each other every morning, and you can often find students choosing to work there throughout the day. My favorite is when I see a student curl up with a good book on our soft carpet.

  The carpet arrived on a Friday so when students walked in Monday morning they were ecstatic to see our new spot. They couldn't wait until morning greeting. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

• Teaching with Technology

  Funded Oct 26, 2017

  We cannot thank you enough for your generous donation to our classroom. We are so excited to add more technology to our learning. We have already begun using the Chromebooks for our reading and math programs, and will soon begin researching animals to add to our learning in science. With these added computers, we are able to access technology more frequently, improve our skills, and get ourselves ready for future learning in the 21st century. It is thanks to people like you, who support our students in their everyday learning that we are able to make that extra difference in their lives.”

• Chompin' for Chromebooks

  Funded Aug 29, 2017

  Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom! We are already loving all of our new seating and how organized our tables are looking! The exercise balls have quickly become some of our favorite places to work. The sit spots are helping to keep Mrs. Buhts sane, as we are all in our own personal spaces. Our materials are readily available for us in our storage drawers and we are spending more time learning than looking for what we need! Our year is off to a great start and we can wait to see where it takes us!”

• Chromebooks Needed in a 2nd Grade Classroom!!!

  Funded Nov 12, 2016

  Our Chromebooks have gotten so much use since they have arrived in 2C! We use them multiple times a day, whether it is to warm up our math skills on Reflex Math, increase our reading skills with Lexia, or introduce our new program Symphony math. It is a rarity that one of them is not in use throughout the day! During indoor recess, kids can't wait to log in and practice their skills! Soon we will be introducing more formal typing skills, and how to collaborate on learning with peers. Thank you so much for your donation, we truly appreciate it!”
