• Classroom Organization

  Funded Dec 13, 2024

  Thank you so much for donating these materials to my classroom. It has been so amazing to have so many zipper bags to organize various materials. The bags from this project have allowed me to access my teaching materials and student-facing materials with ease. Students each have a personalized "book bag" to keep track of the materials they have received from the teacher. Additionally, my filing cabinets of materials are perfectly organized by appropriate levels, which makes it very easy for anyone in the classroom to access what they need!”

• Spring Fun in First Grade

  Funded Mar 3, 2025

  Thank so much! I am so excited to have these materials with our first graders this spring. They are going to absolutely love the art materials and new toys. Every school year and every group of kids is special and unique - this one is no exception. I am looking forward to ending the year with so many fun activities with these students, all thanks to you! Thank you for being part of my "village" in creating special moments for my students.”

• Supply Refresh

  Funded Dec 3, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generosity. I am so thankful to have your support in my classroom! The students have already been using the materials that you donated. When I told them that we got brand new watercolors to paint with, they cheered with joy! They were thrilled to have new paint! We have also been able to implement a class favorite: Flashlight Friday! With the flashlights that you donated, students have been enjoying reading with all the lights off in the classroom. It's moments like these that make learning magical, and it is only possible with your support! Thank you!”

• Building Our Classroom Environment

  Funded Aug 8, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom! It has been so fun to have the new Silhouette Cameo in our classroom. I have been able to create many classroom materials with the die-cut machine. For example, I have put vinyl labels on the crayon and pencil cups in our classroom. This not only helps our students stay organized, but it also helps build literacy skills in our students! When they see the word "pencils" every day on their pencil cup, they are picking up on foundational skills necessary to read that word! I so appreciate your support in helping make my classroom a special place to be.”

• Welcome to First Grade!

  Funded Jul 29, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom! It has been such a smooth start to the school year, and I attribute much of that to your support. On the first day of school, students arrived with everything that they needed. From pencils and markers to fun, engaging book character plushies, our classroom was set up for success from the beginning! And now, months later, we are still using the supplies that you purchased. It makes such an impact on my ability to prepare high-quality lessons and materials for my class when I am so well equipped with everything I need! I cannot thank you enough for supporting us.”

• Spring in First Grade

  Funded Feb 20, 2024

  This spring was such a success! As I write to you on the last day of school, I can't help but reflect on the gratitude I feel for your support in my classroom. We were able to execute all the projects that we wanted to with such ease, thanks to the items you were able to contribute! The students LOVED the board games and stickers, and we used the dry erase markers daily! Having goldfish crackers as a snack sure did come in handy on the long days, and we used the small snack bags to send home fun summer supplies! This school year ended so wonderfully, thank you for helping make that possible!”

• Winter in First Grade

  Funded Nov 28, 2023

  Wow, thank you so much for your generous donations to our classrooms! Students are always so thrilled when we have the chance to use our art materials. Every student was able to create a personalized holiday craft as a gift to their families. Additionally, we were able to provide snacks to all students during our classroom celebrations, thanks to your donations of goldfish crackers! Our classrooms are well equipped with the necessary materials to make learning and projects happen, thanks to your donation of laminating sheets, glitter, etc. Doing fun activities like these are only made possible with your generosity! Thank you.”

• First Grade Essentials

  Funded Aug 31, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. It is incredible to have so many supplies to help our classroom function! We have used your donation to facilitate learning. For example, students use the markers that you provided every day while learning in both reading in math!

  Your donation also provided some "book buddies" in our classroom library. We received small stuffed animals of different book characters that the students love! Our students were so excited to see their favorite book characters in our classroom library! I cannot thank you enough for supporting our classroom.”

• First Grade Essentials

  Funded Jul 17, 2023

  The supplies you provided our classroom have been an incredible help! On the first day of school, we were fully equipped with everything we could possibly need to start the year. We had plenty of crayons, markers, etc. to make our classroom run smoothly!

  When we begin the year, students are actively learning how our classroom is organized, how we expect items to be cleaned, and how to use all of our classroom materials. Having adequate materials makes the process of setting up routines seamless! We were able to set appropriate expectations with the materials that you provided so that they last us all year!”
