    Thank you so so much for our classroom rug! It is going to be such an amazing addition to our classroom. Something that seems like such an ordinary and expected part of a classroom provides so many different opportunities to build community.

  • Third Grade Thinkers!

    Funded Dec 2, 2020

    I can't thank you enough for your support during this time. The materials that you helped to purchase made every second of teaching easier in a time that felt impossible.

    Reading is an amazing escape from the world around us. This school year, the new books provided a way for my students to step away from the stress and hard times surrounding us and immerse themselves in exciting new stories. Kids were able to learn and have some fun.

    Thank you so much again for your contribution, it goes such a long way especially this school year!”

    Funded Aug 5, 2019

    Thank you so much for your amazing contribution. I can't thank you enough for your part in making the start of the school year smooth and successful. They love using all of the new classroom supplies to make their reading and writing the best it can be!

    When I showed the students all of our new materials, they were beyond excited to put them to work. It is so amazing to see how the different items that we received are so appreciated by students who are experiencing only their first few years of school.

    As the middle of the school year continues, we are finding new ways to challenge ourselves and work hard each and everyday. With your continued support, our possibilities are endless!”

  • Keeping Our Room Great!

    Funded Jan 1, 2019

    Wow! What an amazing project we were able to get funded. My students are so busy at this time of the year, building their reading and writing skills along with their math concepts and strategies. We love using markers during writing time, and my students were so excited to use fresh, colorful markers to write all about the things that they know and love. In this writing unit we are making How To Books, and they were thrilled to use fresh new markers when teaching their readers how to do and make different things. We are looking forward to using all the classroom materials to continue working hard each day!”

    Wow! The beginning of the year sure is busy, and your contributions helped make it run far more smoothly. We start the year off with fun projects to help the students to be comfortable in our classroom. With the new paper and art materials, my students felt right at home with their beautiful work surrounding the walls!

    When the students entered my classroom on the first day, they were filled with joy to see all the amazing materials that were ready for them to use. I couldn't help but smile when I heard kids marveling at the new paint brushes, drawing materials, and art supplies.

  • Super Scholastic Readers!

    Funded Aug 23, 2018

    We are so excited that we got our Scholastic Readers! We love to read them and learn all about the exciting information each month. These readers help us to learn sight words, reading in a pattern, and build our awareness of print and pictures. We grow as readers each day when we are exposed to more and more text, and your contributions help us every day!

    In our classroom, reading is so special to us and is an important part of our day. Students find a cozy place in the classroom and books they love and are interested in. These Scholastic Readers help build the love for reading that is so important in kindergarten.

  • Kinetic Kindergarten!

    Funded Mar 23, 2018

    I am so excited that we got so much amazing kinetic sand to use in our classroom! We have been using the sand every day during playtime, creating beach scenes, ice cream shops, and letting our imaginations go wild!

    When the students first opened the materials, their reactions were priceless. They were so excited and couldn't wait to get their hands on all of our new fun and colorful sand!

    It is so heartwarming and wonderful to watch the students work together and play with the kinetic sand. Their genuine excitement, wonder, and willingness to work with others really shines through with the help of you!”

  • Rugs for Reading!

    I am so excited that our classroom finally has a new, clean rug to use in the classroom. The rug provides our classroom with a comfortable, colorful and warm place to listen to read alouds, work together to solve math equations, and build new creations with different play materials.

    When the students saw the new rug, they were excited to have a bright new part of our classroom. They had a refreshed look on their faces when they learned that were replacing our old right with a new colorful one. They were so excited to bring books to the rug and start reading!

    Thank you again for your amazing support in our classroom!”
