• We All Need Help Sometimes!

  Funded Feb 9, 2022

  Our focus this year has been on the social and emotional well-being of my students. Absolutely we have done lots of reading and writing and math- but after the upheaval that the last few years have been, it has been really important that we work on social and emotional skills. The books you so kindly provided have allowed us to discuss, learn about and practice so many new social and emotional skills. We have learned coping skills, self-regulation skills, mindfulness skills and about our emotions. Thank you so much for providing an amazing opportunity for all of my students!”

  Thank you, thank you, thank you! These books have absolutely been an amazing addition to our classroom. Children who love to read are children who have access to lots and lots of books.

• Markers, Paper, Erasers and Velcro to Help Our Learning Stick!

  Funded Sep 27, 2021

  Thank you, thank you, thank you! These items have made our whole school year! Sometimes it is things like lamination and Velcro and markers that seem like little things, but are actually the most used items in a classroom. We absolutely use these items daily and they have been an amazing help to ensuring that each and every one of my students has classroom lessons, activities and assignments that specifically target their skill levels and learning needs. Each student practices their basic skills with a Velcro, laminated booklet daily, we have been able to laminate social stories and the learning that happens on chart paper with markers is AMAZING! Thank you for your support!”

• Blast Off to the Best School Year Ever!

  Funded Sep 8, 2021

  Thank you, thank you, thank you. Goodness gracious this has been quite the school year. We have packed so much learning into this school year. Thanks to you, we have worked on developing our social emotional learning skills in particular and the tools you provided have been a great help! My students love, love, love our weighted animal which helps with any sensory dysregulation they might experience. We use our timers on a daily basis- helping us to keep our schedule and help my more schedule oriented students to understand what comes next in our day. I seriously don't know what we would do without these items you provided- they have made a world of difference this school year!”

• Creating Quiet for Focused Learning

  Funded Sep 27, 2021

  Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for ensuring that my amazing students have the tools they need in order to focus and learn in the individualized ways they need. My students use these noise cancelling headphones every day, multiple times a day. When my students are working on independent activities, they love to grab their headphones and work in quiet. When my students are overwhelmed by noises in their environment. like in the lunchroom or noisy hallways, they also turn to their headphones to help quiet things down which in turn, helps them to remain calm and ready to learn. Thank you for supporting my students!”
