New Beginnings
Funded Nov 28, 2023It was an early holiday present for our class! They were so excited to see new wobble stools! They even helped open the boxes and assemble them!
We use wobble stools often...we always use them during our small group time and there are many times where some of us need to move while working and these are perfect!!
My students are so engaged in learning and watching them use these resources to improve their learning is so rewarding! I am incredibly grateful to work in a school with an amazing, supportive school community!
Thank you all so very much for your generous donations!”

Funded Aug 24, 2022Thank you so very much for your generous donations to our project, Home Away from Home. Our goodies have arrived and look great in our classroom!
When I told them that we were getting these items, they were so excited! My students spend more time in their classroom during the week than they do their homes, so it is important to me to make our classroom comfortable.
We have so many things that make our classroom welcoming! Everyone who walks in comments on how nice the the room looks! Our classroom is definitely becoming a "home away from home"- thanks to you!”

Poppy the Therapy Pig
Funded Dec 1, 2021Poppy is one lucky girl!! All of her items have arrived and she is in heaven! She is already using her new bowls, playpen and her bedding! Her cage will take a little time to put together, but she is going to LOVE her new home!
When all the boxes arrived Poppy was squeaking so loudly! How did she know? It was incredibly heartwarming to see the kids excitement for all of Poppy's "Christmas Presents" as they kept calling it! They love her so much and she gives them so much comfort, love and support!
Thank you so very much for helping ensure Poppy, the Therapy Pig is well taken care of!”

Funded Oct 29, 2021Thank you so very much for your generous donations to our project, Home Away from Home. Our couch and table will be arriving soon and I cannot wait to see the kids faces when they come!
When I told them that we were getting these items, they were so excited! My students spend more time in their classroom during the week than they do their homes, so it is important to me to make our classroom comfortable.
We have many flexible seating options and with the addition of a couch and a coffee table, more students will have the option to choose to sit comfortably! Our classroom is definitely becoming a "home away from home"- thanks to you!”

Funded Sep 26, 2021It felt like Christmas in October when our package came today! The kids were so excited to open the box! One student said, "I just love boxes!" They were very surprised to see it was a computer!
Many noticed how much bigger the keyboard and screen are! I talked to the class about how they will be able to pass this computer around when they need help with certain applications that they are not able to access on their chrome books!
Poppy also got a new container to hold her hay! She isn't loving it yet, but we will keep trying! :) I have made a new project just for the class to spend some "comfy" time with Poppy....this includes a table and a couch for all to sit and read to her!
Thank you all so very much for your generous donations!!”

Home for a Pig
Funded May 4, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donations for Poppy! She is such a sweet, happy addition to our class!
She absolutely LOVES her hay and is playing daily in her playpen. This has been so fun because they kids can see her much easier! During these crazy times, Poppy has brought so much to every single child in our classroom.
It is so heart warming to see all the love and care Poppy receives. Each child has taken on the responsibilities of taking care of her- feeding her, cleaning her cage and giving her more love than she could ever hope for!
The first thing they do each morning is to run over to her to say good morning! Thank you so much for giving our "pig" a home!”

Funded Mar 28, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donations! We are in the process of completing our spring cleaning which will include the new plastic organizers!
I will be laminating the students names to place on their organizers as well as cutting all new name tags with the new, sharp paper cutter!
As always, your contributions to our class is so appreciated during this crazy time. It is a challenge to keep everything safe and organized for my in person students as well as my online students!

Legos and USB Drives and Chromebook Organizers, Oh My....
Funded Feb 3, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donations! The kids are so incredibly excited to have some more Legos! We now have enough for each group to be able to play with them!
The Chromebook organizers are amazing! We now have just 4 Chromebooks in each organizer which helps to keep the cords from getting tangled!
The USB drive is being used daily! The kids love to watch a Mystery Doug episode or Bill Nye the Science Guy and without a disk drive on my computer we were unable to do this!
As always, your contributions to our class is so appreciated during this crazy time. It is a challenge to keep them engaged and find ways to make sure they are able to still be "kids"!”

Full STEM Ahead
Funded Dec 1, 2020Thank you so much for your generous donations! The kids are so incredibly excited to have Legos! So much so that, I am going to have to create a new project so that I can order more.
The Sorry game just arrived yesterday and we are having lots of indoor recess, so I know they will be excited to play. That game was their request, so must be a favorite!
The STEM toy storage is on back order, but will be very helpful in storing all our fun morning STEM activities.
As always, your contributions to our class is so appreciated during this crazy time. It is a challenge to keep them engaged and find ways to make sure they are able to still be "kids"!”
