• Every Child Can Be a Vibrant Artist!

  Funded Feb 15, 2025

  Thank you for all your generous donations. My students in grades kindergarten through 4th are very appreciated that you choose to support our class! Art is a new class in my school and the children are loving learning new techniques and learning how to use new art tools. Liquid water colors are a new supply that many students have never used before. This project is allowing me to add these supplies to my art studio for multiple grade to use and create with. Kids love using materials other than markers and crayons and I love being able to bring these new supplies into their lives. Your donation provides the colors, the bottles and the paper for kids to explore and create beautiful master pieces!

  Each grade is going to get to make a different project with these new liquid water colors. Kindergarten is going to use their colors to create a backdrop for their self portraits. First and second grade is going create landscapes, and fourth grade is going to create a spring silhouette on a warm or cool background.

  Thank you for supporting the arts education that so many kids enjoy and look forward to this school year.”

• Building Future Readers- One Book Series at a Time!

  Funded Oct 4, 2024

  Thank you for donating to this reading project! Book series are the best way to grow a love for reading with little kids. When children can relate to a character either because they become familiar with a character, or because they can relate to what a character is going through they start to build a love for reading. When I introduce a new book series children learn about new and exciting characters. It is these books that they gravitate to when they go to a library or book shop in the classroom. Kids truly get excited to see what new adventure this character will take them on.

  In primary grades reading looks different to different students, some are using pictures to help them tell a story, some are looking for words that they already know or can sound out, and some are rereading a favorite book in their own way. Book series are engaging to all students in my school. What is special about this project is that I am able to add a stuffed reading buddy for each series. Kids love reading to a special friend which makes reading time even more fun in my classroom.

  Thanks for supporting my current students as well as all future students on their journey to becoming lifelong proficient readers.”

• Wanted: New Dramatic Play Accessories for Kindergarten Students

  Funded Mar 27, 2024

  Thank you for your generous donation to the children in my kindergarten class. The addition of new dramatic play items were such a hit and inspired them to create coffee shops, pizzerias and book shops too. Kids learn best when the are authentically playing and your donation let them do just that.

  I am lucky to work in a school where letting kids express themselves is valued and inspired. Adding new materials and supplies to these centers keeps kids engaged and motivated to learn. I see my students working while they are playing every day. They might create a menu to use while playing restaurant or add the price of the books they are selling in their bookstore. Learning doesn't just occur in a workbook in my kindergarten class.

  Once again, thank you for your support and donation to my amazing students!”

• Teachers Helping Teachers

  Funded Jan 19, 2024

  Kindergarten kids love engaging hands on centers and that is exactly what you see when you spend a day in my classroom. This project helped me to give my students new and exciting premade centers for all the topics we learn this year. Being able to print a premade center with bright colors and fun games is what keeps students wanting to practice math facts and letter sounds. Your donation has allowed me to differentiate my centers for all students to practice what they need to practice to be successful and on grade level.

  Thank you for supporting my class and me this year. I appreciate the the activities I am able to buy on teachers pay teachers to provide my students the support they need this year. Please know that this project is providing this years students and all future students academic support.”

• Fill Bellies and Minds for Learning

  Funded Sep 21, 2023

  A typical day in my kindergarten class includes students coming in late, and telling me that they are hungry and there was no breakfast bags left when they got here. Next they ask for a cup of animal crackers or crackers and they unpack and begin their day. To think of these students starting their day with grumbling tummies or hungry bellies is something no teacher wants for her kids.

  The snacks you provided for my students offered weeks of breakfast, snacks and rewards that gave students the energy they needed to succeed and learn new things. Thanks for supporting my class and giving us necessary supplies to make learning fun, engaging and successful.”

• Clean Hands + Full Tummies = Successful School year!

  Funded Dec 17, 2021

  Kindergarten students are happy kids but also hungry kids. It takes alot of energy to keep them working hard and engaged. Snack breaks are an important part of their day. The kids were so excited to have a variety of snacks to choose from. They worked harder after a few pretzels or fruit snacks. I was even able to send home a snack with students that I knew would not eat till they came back to school the next day.

  Your thoughtfulness and generosity is much appreciated by me and my students. Thanks for supporting my class with the materials they need to succeed in school. Snacks are the materials that they needed and provided that for them.”
