Math Mathematicians!
Funded Mar 29, 2016I just wanted to take the time out and say thank you. Thank you for your support and donations. I know that without your help my students wouldn't be the mathematicians that they are today. We have been using the materials in our centers and the kids love it. There are so many games and manipulative's in those boxes. It is such a wonderful help because they learn with me and are able to go in their center and continue to practice those skills that were just taught in class. I want to say thank you again for your donation.”

News Reporters!
Funded Mar 16, 2016I just wanted to let you know how much we love our scholastic news articles. They have so many interesting facts to learn about every week. We have gained so much more knowledge. We also love that they have an online component with it. It makes it visually great for my students because sometimes they don't have the language that comes a long with the story but when they see the videos that come with the program it makes it easier to connect and retain the information being taught. We appreciate every single donor that gave and want to thank you so much! We would not be the great news reporters today without your generosity and support.”

This classroom project was brought to life by #BestSchoolDay and 6 other donors.Innovative Learners!
Funded Mar 9, 2016I just want to take the time and thank you for donating to my classroom. Innovative learners was created with great intentions of allowing my students to use their brain more creatively. I want them to learn how art is something more and that if they choose they can become artist when they get older. Whenever they have free time they do a lot of drawing and coloring. I love that they love expressing themselves creatively and wanted them to have a machine they could use to help enhance their ideas. Thank you so much for making this dream a reality. We are very excited and look forward to showing you the pictures!”

Poptastically Great!
Funded Aug 25, 2016I would like to thank you so very much for your generous donations. We have been using Brain Pop Jr and the children have been loving it. It gives them the expansion needed for the lesson being taught. We have a lot of fun listening to the videos and doing the different activities. I feel that this program has really been helping my students learn. Technology has always proved to be something that helps our students learn. You made it possible for my students to have that chance in utilizing a online program because you donated to our class. Thank you again!”

Learning Through Books!
Funded Jan 23, 2016I just want to let you know that the materials that I received for my classroom from Learning to Read through books is really amazing. My students are loving the short read comprehension stories. They are able to understand what the story is about and are able to answer the questions. We would like to say a BIG Thank you for each and everyone of you that donated to this project. We know that without you we wouldn't have these things so thank you. They are very helpful to us and I am glad that we got them. Some of the materials that was on the original project wasn't available but I was able to get some other great reading resources in stead. I believe they are even better than the original. It all worked out. We appreciate you!”

Acoustically Sound!
Funded Mar 9, 2016I just want to take the time out and say thank you. The rug is now here and I couldn't be more happy. Not only does it look great in the classroom I notice that the acoustics have indeed improved. I feel that the rug also gives a more comfortable classroom environment allowing the students to feel more safe and at home while away from home. The students are already taking great care of the rug by sweeping and vacuuming it! They also don't have to worry about their desk moving with this new rug! I cannot thank you enough. You are greatly appreciated and loved! :)”

Creating Future Scientist!
Funded Jul 2, 2015I just wanted to let you know that once we've received the materials for creating future scientist my students were excited! We began to pull out the materials and started learning immediately. They were asking a lot of questions and even making hypothesis...just like a great scientist does! Reading out of a book for facts is no more for us thanks to your wonderful donation we are now HANDs ON Science learners! I wanted to let you know that you are truly appreciated. Without your donation we would still be just learning from the books. Thank you again for helping me create future scientist!”

Click, Clack, New...Technology!
Funded Feb 15, 2015After being funded I told my students, and I must say they were excited! We always only had one piece of technology in our classroom, but now we have two! "Yes more computer time for everyone !" said one of my students. We have computer programs that go with our curriculum but with only one computer it took a lot longer for the students to get through it. Now that we have two computers the students are able to rotate more and they get more practice time in. Another good thing about having a laptop is that I am able to move it around the room and even teach with it in small group. They also love the speakers because they are able to plug their headphones in there and have more volume from the computer.Your donations have truly helped us and we are very appreciative.”
