An Organized Classroom!
Funded Dec 5, 2023This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom. The various forms of organization have helped my students every single day. We've used them to store books, file our writing, level our library, and to help teach many other routines. Also, these materials will be used for year after year!
Thank you again for your kindness and your support. The organization materials have made our classroom function in a much smoother way and have given us more structure to help us maximize our learning time together.
These organizers will help our students to succeed and stay organized throughout the remainder of the school year. Thanks for all you have done. I can't express enough how much I appreciate your generous donation and continued support. Again, it means the world!”

Funded Jan 26, 2023I can't thank you enough for your generosity. I am so excited to use all of my materials to make a flexible seating classroom where students feel empowered to generate their own success both within and outside of school.
My students were beyond excited when they walked into our classroom and saw your donation for the first time! They could not believe their new seating choices and new options.
They are by far the most popular choice in our flexible seating choices. My students enjoy choosing a seat that is best for them and one that can lead them to be successful in their learning each day. I do believe that choice seating in our classroom is leading to more successful learning.
Thank you again for your support of my classroom. Your kindness is very much appreciated!”

Author's Corner: Escaping Into Books!
Funded Oct 15, 2023I cannot begin to express my sincere appreciation for your help and support for my classroom. Thank you greatly for the gift of rocking a chair and a table for my students. As you know, reading skills are a vital part of being productive members of society. With your support, my students will be motivated to read to become those productive and successful adults.
The students and I are excited about getting these important, classroom-enhancing pieces of furniture. Your generosity will make a positive difference in the attitudes of the students by motivating them to read. Thank you once again for your kindness and thoughtfulness. Your support is greatly appreciated!”

Funded Jun 18, 2023It is with my deepest gratitude that I thank you for funding our classroom project.
Where do I even begin? Every single day I sit at our kidney table and work with my students. I am closer to them and therefore I can really help them further. I can fit more students around the table and therefore I can help more students at a given time.
This table helps my students in reading, writing and math. My students can spread out their books and reading tools during reading. They can spread out their writing paper and writing tools during writing. Finally, during math they can have their math problems but also whatever Manipulatives they need. This table truly truly supports my students in their academic growth and we are forever grateful!”

Requesting Headphones!
Funded Mar 17, 2024Thank you so much again for your generous donations to help fund our project to supply headphones for my class to use. My students were so excited from the day that they arrived in the mail, and are still excited to use them every day in the classroom. Words cannot express enough how grateful we are for your help!
We have used these headphones for a variety of things in our classroom since we have received them. First we have used them to allow the students to use them while they are working independently on their assignments. Many assignments in our classroom are web based as well as games and activities we participate in. These headphones allow us to have the student not be distracted by others around them and their work.
Also, these are very durable headphones that have lasted longer than any others we have tried to use before. These headphones have allowed my students to work in a comfortable and safe environment. Once again, thank you so much for your help! My class is so grateful to have this technology to aid us in our learning.”

Books for Our Comfy Reading Corner!
Funded Nov 15, 2022Thanks a million for your generous donations! The Frog and Toad and other books that you help to purchase were used for small group and whole group reading instruction. Students enjoyed the characters silly adventures and would get so excited to read what happens next! We were able to have great discussions about the books, and students still read them repeatedly. This increases reading fluency and builds confidence in struggling readers.
Without your help, my students would have never had a class set of each book. Academic success was achieved, and a love of reading continued to grow.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Seed to Read and 2 other donors.Bee Bot Robotic!
Funded May 3, 2023Thank you so much for your generous donation! I am so happy and really excited to finally be able to charge the Bee-Bot Robots in one place and at the same time.
My STEM students really love learning how to code with these adorable Bee-Bot Robots. They have so much fun working together to get their robots through their castles and mazes.
Before this project, I did not have enough Bee-Bot Robots for each table in my classroom, but now I do and each table gets one! It is also such a lifesaver to be able to charge them together. This would not have been possible without your generosity and kindness.
Thank you so much for making my classroom so much more enriching!”

Coding with Dash!
Funded Dec 5, 2022Dash and dot instantly became a part of our classroom. The students were in awe over them from the moment we opened the first box. Dash is a robot that you can code to do almost anything! Dot is her sidekick and the accessories are used for the coding missions.
My class absolutely LOVES these new coding tools. They have gotten so good at free code and the coding games that come with the Dash app.
The students engaged quickly and passionately about coding. Their imaginations and creativity are now off to an amazing start as our classroom is a buzz with activity. To begin, the students are building mazes for Dash and even exploring the coding language, Blockly. They are using 21st Century Skills to program Dash and Dot to complete tasks; move objects, transport items, video their travels, create music with the xylophone, choreograph dance moves, and solve problems as they interact with the robots. They can't get enough of exploring and creating with Dash and Dot during class and Code Club.
Thank you again for your continued support of our educational needs and our coding efforts. Without your generosity, my students would not be experiencing this level of wonder, exploration, and engagement with robotics and coding.”

Funded Nov 18, 2022I would like to thank you for your generosity in helping me fund my project "Flexible Seating for Successful Learning!" for students to use in our classroom. My students are THRILLED to have them as part of our flexible seating collection. The day they arrived, my students eagerly watched me opened the boxes and they couldn't wait to have a turn using a lap desk and cushions.
They have added to our room and the ability for my students to work in alternate places aside from their desks. Thank you for being a part of making my classroom different and unique, and an engaging environment to learn in.
I know that these desks and cushions will not only change the learning experience of my students this year, but for many years to come. We are forever grateful.
Thanks to you, my students have more freedom to take ownership of how they are learning. I can see how much more eager they are if they have a choice of where to work.”

Funded Oct 17, 2022It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I write this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Students Love Math Manipulatives!" With the awesome math manipulatives, I was able to help my students with counting, number sense, place value, and basic math facts. Again, thank you for your donations.

Your donation helped make learning more accessible and more engaging for each and every one of my amazing students.
Once again, thank you for fulfilling this project. It means so much to me that you have helped to make my classroom a great place to learn for my students.”
