  • A Wonderful and Safe Calming Corner

    Funded Jan 15, 2025

    Wow. I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am our project was funded! The children are going to be overjoyed about their new calming corner. I can't wait to tell them the good news tomorrow. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and kindness.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. H.

  • Empowering Early Readers: A Strong Start with Phonics

    Funded Aug 15, 2024

    Thanks to your generosity, our classroom has transformed into a vibrant space where learning comes alive! When the materials arrived, my students were thrilled. The alphabet rug is now the heart of our classroom, where we practice sounds, build words, and make phonics lessons interactive and fun. Watching students hop on letters and create words has made learning tangible and engaging.

    The Snap and Build CVC Words set has been a game-changer. One student, who often struggled with blending sounds, proudly constructed the word "cat" on her own, shouting, "I did it!" Our new book collections are equally impactful—students eagerly dive into stories, building confidence and a love for reading. A student who once avoided books now volunteers to read aloud, a moment I'll cherish forever.

    These resources have sparked joy, curiosity, and growth in our classroom. Your support is helping my students gain the tools and confidence they need to succeed. Thank you for believing in them!”

  • Calming Area

    Funded Mar 13, 2023

    I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to the children and me. Your gift is going to make a world of difference in creating a safe space for the children I teach. I cannot wait for them to see it. They will be so thrilled!”

  • A Magical, Safe Calming Corner

    Funded Sep 20, 2022

    I cannot begin to express my gratitude for your generosity. We have had the calming corner for just a couple short weeks and, already, it has made a world of difference for the children I serve. Having a calming corner has given my students a safe space where they can practice identifying their feelings and emotions. They can then engage in calming activities - reading books, coloring, using stress balls/fidget poppers/clay - that help them manage stress, self-regulate and control their impulses. Again, your kindness has meant everything to me and the students I serve. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

  • All We Need Is Love... And Books!

    Funded Sep 10, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generosity. In this time of virtual learning, it has been such a gift to be able to enjoy physical books together as a class. My students were absolutely delighted to each receive a package that contained a personalized note, their very own books, a notebook, highlighters, pens, stickers and candy. It helped us start a scary, uncertain year in a very positive, joyful way. Again, from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you for your kindness. It has meant the world to us.”

  • Animate Our Learning with BrainPOP!

    Funded Aug 13, 2019

    Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! My students are absolutely thrilled every time they get to enjoy a BrainPop. BrainPop's Tim and Moby are just delightful. They make extremely difficult concepts so fun and easy to grasp! Recently, my students have been using BrainPop to learn about myriad topics, from important historical figures to grammar to study and reading skills. The children just love every aspect of the program, even the quizzes! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again!”

  • Our Class Computer Broke - Please Help us Buy Another!

    Funded Dec 20, 2015

    The world's grandest submarine could not reach the depths of my gratitude. Through your generous gifts, my students have traveled the world unbound by time. We've visited the deserts of Ancient Mesopotamia, a cradle of human civilization. We've traversed the Arabian Peninsula, meeting prophets and studying ancient holy books. We've even stopped by colonial Salem to conduct an investigation of the Salem Witch Trials. Could food poisoning have been behind the hysteria? (Look into ergot; it's really quite fascinating!)

    With Mac II, I've once again been able to lovingly plan and deliver engaging Prezis, Keynotes and Nearpods daily.

    Through you, History has truly come alive for my students. I can't thank you enough.”

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! :) Allow me to introduce myself... I hail from Texas and London but have since settled in sunny California for the past ten years. I love it here! I will never leave. Teaching is a passion for me and a role I do not take lightly. I have a Masters in Education, and I strive daily to design and deliver engaging, hands-on lessons for my kids. I want my students to be intellectual explorers and critical thinkers who have adopted a lifelong learning mindset. I try to teach my students both the content they need to learn and, just as importantly, the skills they need to succeed once they leave me.
