Thank you so much for the cleaning products for my classroom. Students are learning to take responsibility for their own messes; leading to valuable life skills. They are able to wash their tables after breakfast as well as clean up spills.
Additionally, it is make our classroom a nicer place to work. We have fewer moments of sticking to the floor from an uncleaned spill as it saves me time to have the appropriate materials readily available in my classroom. A kleenex is not a vialbe cleaning device for spilled juice and yogurt.
It is also a joy to not have papers sticking to tables as we are trying to complete important work!”

Thank you so much for your kind generosity! I work in a low income school and families are not always able to provide their child with headphones to use in the classroom. Additionally you will not only be helping me but also my first grade co-workers; some of whom are first year teachers with no funds to provide items themselves!”
Thank you so much for your kindness! I will be moving classrooms and these items will help make a fresh new space for my newest batch of first graders! I also look forward to teaching a whole new batch of students some independence in their learning.
Thank you so much!! I’m looking forward to helping my students get even more organized with their learning and helping them establish these much needed skills in life!! It’s not just the reading and math skills that need to be nurtured in young students but skills to make them successful for life!”
Indoor recess is not a joy for students nor teachers. On rainy or days with extreme weather options are limited and drawing is not enough of an energy release physically or emotionally. I am allowed to assist with the physical with classroom dancing but the items you donation provided is really allowing them the emotional and mental release needed.
They look forward to rainy days so they can explore with the creative building items. These activities are less structured than classroom lessons and provide them with a much needed mental relief that gives a nice break for the children.”

The sensory fidget strips that you helpd to fund have been a huge success to my classroom and my students. First and foremost, all young children tend to fidget and most often they use their pencils and markers causing distractions with sound and extreme movement. However by providing every student with access to these plastic fidget strips students are able to move their busy into these strips that are quiet and do not roll of the table causing extreme classroom distractions. Furthermore these items are extremely durable so I am not having to regularly replace them and I will be able to use them for years to come.”

Thank you for your kind generosity! I was so excited to implement these items into my classroom. It was one more instrumental part in making my students stronger learners!
I especially love the diversity of these items to meet the individual interest of all my students present and future! We have recess in various outside school locations and it is not always the playground. My school is able to provide us with some soccer balls but not enough for smaller student groups nor are they able to provide items to meet various student interests. Thanks to your donations I have students exploring with scarves, ribbons, as well as building materials and smaller groupings that hold the itnerests of everyone.”

My students are absolutely loving the materials that your donation helped to provide! Everyone loves the writing independence it provides for the students. For instance instead of constantly coming to me to ask for the bathroom they simply use one of the large post-it notes to write down their name and create their own class list of bathroom needs. Students are in control of regulating the list and I am able to conduct small group instruction with minimum interruptions!
Students also love to leave me notes about individual questions or even just thoughts that they want to share with me! Students are able to writie me a note using the sticky post it notes and then attach them to the Let Me Know poster that I am able to read at a later time. Once again the students independently regulate this tool and it provides me with small group teaching with minimal distrubances.”
