  • Clean and Healthy Classroom

    Funded Mar 22, 2025

    Thank you for your continued support to my classroom! A healthy classroom makes for a successful classroom. This time of year is when we share all kinds of germs and with your help we will be able to cut down on that sharing. We teach the students that sharing is a positive thing to do, but not with illnesses. The weather is changing here in Ohio, and many of my students haven't changed their attire yet which is causing them to get sick. Thank you so much for helping keep us safe and healthy with these new supplies. We truly appreciate your generosity.”

  • Project Kindness

    Funded Mar 12, 2025

    Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! This project is very important as we are really focusing on spreading kindness throughout the school! The Kindness Club was very excited to see all the items they are going to use to help spread kindness around the school building. Everyone can always use a little kindness to make their not-so-good day brighter. Research shows that when we cooperate and show kindness to our fellow humans, we become healthier, happier and more successful. This project is going to allow us to recognise and praise students when we notice them being kind and supportive to one another. We truly appreciate your support in this project! Thank you again!”

    Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom. These items will benefit so many of our students.

  • Dry Erase Markers

    Funded Dec 24, 2024

    Thank you so much for being a continued supporter of my classroom! Basic supplies are everyday items that we use in the classroom. My students come from homes where these basic supplies are a struggle to get. With the help of wonderful donors like yourself, I am able to make sure my students have these supplies to succeed in the classroom. These items add up quickly when you have 25 students in a classroom, so any help that we get is appreciated. My students love getting the packages and seeing what new supplies they will get to use. We truly appreciate your generosity.”

A well-organized classroom sends a clear and positive message to students: This room was created for you, with your specific needs in mind, because you and your learning are important. Without it, even a generously sized room can diminish students' sense of ease and autonomy and limit their learning. Staying organized is the key to a successful classroom. Center activities have small materials that are used often in the classroom, it helps to store them in colored tubs or containers to make them easy to access. Adding labels helps the students know clearly where the items are, and where to put them back.
