  • Becoming Readers One Letter at a Time

    Funded May 10, 2023

    My students are thrilled with all the materials you helped to provide for further learning of the alphabet. Learning the alphabet is more than just saying the letters in order or knowing the sounds each letter makes. Using these materials are helping them become spellers, writers and readers in a fun way.

    Thank you so much for fully funding my Donors Choose project! I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is to have these resources in our classroom. I know they will greatly enhance language arts and math small group instruction. My students will also be thrilled to have resources to practice collaborating with one another! This couldn't be possible without your generosity.”

  • Super First Graders Seeking Supplies

    Funded May 9, 2023

    I am truly grateful for your generosity funding my need of classroom supplies. My class was overjoyed with enthusiasm with the delivery of our pencil boxes, watercolor pads, black felt tip pens, folders, and tissue paper squares

    The supplies you provided will help with art. They will enjoy painting with water colors on our water color paper and creating projects from the tissue paper squares. The students also enjoy having their own green and yellow classroom folders to organize their seat work. Most importantly, the students love having their own pencil box to organize their classroom supplies.

    Again, many thanks for funding this project as soon as possible. I appreciate your thoughtfulness to my classroom.”

  • Super First Graders Seeking Supplies!

    Funded May 6, 2022

    I am truly grateful for your generosity funding my need of classroom supplies. My class was overjoyed with enthusiasm with the delivery of our Rekenrek build a sets, pencil boxes, watercolor pads, black felt tip pens, class set of ten frame kits, folders, tissue paper squares, and building math skills dry erase boards.

    The supplies you provided helped the children add watercolor animal pictures to go along with their animal reports. Also, the Rekenrek sets, building math skills dry erase boards, and the ten frame kits have helped with grasping our math concepts. The students also enjoyed having their own green classroom folder to organize their seat work.

    Again, many thanks for funding this project as soon as possible. I appreciate your thoughtfulness to my classroom.”

  • Seat Sacks for 5 Star Scholars!

    Funded Apr 7, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generosity in donating to my project for Seat Sacks. My First Graders are so excited to have new Seat Sacks to organize their supplies. We have had baskets and other containers that took up so much space on our tables so having these new seat sacks has been great! These will be used and well appreciated from all of us .

    I am teaching my First Graders how to organize their books, journals, and dry erase boards in their seat sacks. They are learning quickly on how to keep everything in the Seat Sack properly and they are able to grab their materials in a timely manner. Finally, our tables are now cleared and they have so much more space to work.”

  • Help Us Celebrate Our Children

    Funded Oct 26, 2020

    Thank you so much for your wonderful donation! I can't tell you how excited we are to be able to use these items for our children. I know right now is kind of weird with COVID, but I am looking into the future. I am imagining having wonderful celebrations with these items when we are able to get back to school. I can't tell you how excited my principal is. Since we are on a Shelter In Place order and we have to be careful because of COVID, our district has cancelled all schoolwide activities, but when this is lifted, we are actually talking about having our celebration be a Drive-in Movie Night! We have an outdoor blow up projection screen, projector, etc. We have popcorn and our hot dog machine. We are currently in discussion about how this would work. We just recently purchased a radio transmitter so everyone could stay in their car. We're getting close to be able to pull this amazing celebration off for our kids. I couldn't be happier and more excited! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

  • A Bookcase for Book Lovers!

    Funded Oct 16, 2020

    Thank you for donating to my DonorsChoose project. The sturdy, low shelves allow me to organize the classroom with a clearly defined library, with space for independent work and for book displays. I love how we have a bookcase that is divided into 5 sections. One section even holds all of our new Piggie and Gerald books. The bookcase is fabulous since it is on wheels and I am able to move it around my library area as needed. The library has more appeal to the students and I am able to display my new books. The students love how they are able to search out a book of their choice for AR reading time. Also the bookcase allow us to show off our favorite storybook character stuffed animals.”

A majority of my students are Limited English Proficient and from a Title 1 school. They enjoy going to the library weekly. They rush to the nonfiction section of our library to find a book to check out. Our library has a limited amount of books for my first graders therefore I am anxious to purchase some nonfiction books for my class. Most of my students do not have any books at home to read. It will be thrilling for them to have the opportunity to read and cherish these books in our room. My students love Art and PE and we are in dire need of basic supplies. I am fortunate to be teaching such an energetic, creative, and intelligent group of students. I am actively searching to provide them the best possible education and tools and I am asking for support to all who would like to do so and donate.
