Funded Nov 29, 2023Thank you so much for caring about my students and their literacy development! The books you provided are used daily to enhance their reading skills.

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 4 other donors.Future First Graders
Funded Aug 12, 2023Thank you so much for caring about my students, valuing their education and supporting them! Your contribution to the project was very generous!
You helped provide many great resources that have been used daily to strengthen math and literacy skills. My students love listening to the stories on CD using the Cd players that you helped provide! Right now we have great Halloween selections. They love discussing the characters, plot and settings after hearing the stories.
The games have been very helpful in allowing them to work collaboratively with their peers while learning math facts, beginning sounds, sight words, etc.!
I'm looking forward to watching my students grow academically and I'm very grateful for your support!
Thanks!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The State of Oklahoma.Who Stole the Cookie From the Cookie Jar?
Funded Dec 30, 2022Thanks so much for contributing to my project! Your generous donation has helped provide lots of yummy snacks to hungry children!
My students eat lunch at 11:00 everyday, so by the end of the day they are famished! They really appreciate having such a variety of snacks to choose from on the days that the cafeteria does not provide a snack!
The snack helps them focus on their learning instead of their growling bellies. Thanks for eliminating the distraction of hunger for them and me!
Thank you so much for caring about my students and their needs.”

The Plants are Ticklish!
Funded Jan 19, 2023Thank you so much for contributing to my project! My students were so engaged learning about plants and their needs.
They are so excited to watch their Tickle me Plants grow! We read a book about the plants and watched a quick video showing the leaves close when touched.
Watching these plants grow and taking care of them is going to make the end of the year exciting! Several times today students walked over to the window sill to check their progress!
Thanks for caring about my students and their green thumbs!”

Ms. Newberry
I’m Hungry!
Funded Jan 1, 2023Thanks so much for providing the yummy snacks! My students get super excited at snack time. They are a little disappointed when the cafeteria provides snacks because they prefer the yummy treats you provided!
The snacks encourage them to keep working so we can enjoy a break after our work is completed. Your contribution also lets them know that people care about their needs! Hopefully it will inspire them to give as they get older and are capable of sharing with others.
Without your support many of them would be very hungry and distracted by their hunger!”

How to Eat Fried Worms
Funded Dec 22, 2022Thank you so much for providing the worms and worm composter! My first grade students are obsessed with the worms!
I was excited to see that many of them checked out books from the library about worms! At breakfast and snack time they enjoy sorting their compostable items for the worms.
My bug club members were also excited about holding the worms and learning about how worms benefit the soil. We watched a kid friendly video that deepened their understanding of worms.
These learning experiences were only possible because of your support and generosity!”

Ms. Newberry
What’s for Snack?
Funded Dec 30, 2022My students and I were very excited and grateful when our huge box of snacks arrived last week! They've been excitedly waiting for snack time each day and it's really motivated them to get their work done so they can take a little snack break.
In addition to your support, I also appreciate that you are sending a strong message to my students that people DO care about their academic and hunger needs!
Your donation has offered yummy treats but has also modeled ways that people can help other people.”
