Funded Feb 24, 2021Thank you so much for our books. I have recently switched roles and while this was at first a challenge, I am fitting right in. I have found that having a vast variety of books to choose from has made this transition seamless not only for me, but also for my students. We have had the ability to dive into books of all kinds while keeping things uniform because we have so many books. We are so thankful for all that you did to make this possible! We appreciate it and utilize it more than we can tell you!”

HIStory, HERstory, OURstory!
Funded Jul 2, 2020Thank you so much for our books! We use them more than you know. In this classroom, social studies is very important. We are fortunate enough to have a social studies curriculum that gives us lots of rich material to talk about and lots of wonderful experiences to provide to students. We frequently do this using simulations, videos, stories, and especially picture books. Thanks to your generous donations students have been able to experience history through picture books for literally every single standard we teach. I can not begin to tell you the impact this has had on our classroom. Thanks so much again!”

Funded Mar 27, 2018This technology has been so much fun for us in the classroom! We appreciate so much that you gifted us with our Alexa devices. This has saved us so much time from having to look up certain words and facts. In addition, we have used it for music and entertainment as well as keeping us on schedule with timers and calendars. Technology is forever changing and we are doing our best to keep up with thanks to you! My students are so excited every time they see the Alexas and the other classes are always jealous. Thanks so much again!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Ripple.Will Grovel For A Novel
Funded Oct 19, 2017We truly cannot thank you enough for your generous contribution to our classroom! In today's world, we are often so caught up in technology, testing and differentiating for our students that we forget the basics. In this case the basics are good books like the ones you donated to our classroom. This novel in particular does a great job of not only meeting our grammar and reading skill standards but also connecting with our students. The main character is an immigrant who is the same age as our students and they very much sympathize with the character and get so much out of reading when that happens. The students love the book as much as I do and we are so thankful!”

Funded Apr 27, 2017Thanks to your generous support, close to 180 students have benefited from our new wiggle stools! When I first heard that we had received the donation for the stools I was so excited to tell my students. One student was so excited that she had JUST eaten breakfast at SONIC that morning and now they were giving her gifts! It was hysterical. They had seen the stools in other classrooms and I knew that they would be excited, but what I didn't know was how creative they would be with them! My students use them at their desks, at the computers and at the board. Students rock on them, lay on them, use two for their bottoms and for their feet and more. After all, this is the epitome of flexible seating! I have seen so many benefits come from my students being able to release their "wiggles" while sitting at their desk. It has been unbelievable and we feel truly blessed to have been granted this gift! Thanks so much for everything!”

Chromebooks For Our Credible Crew!
Funded Dec 20, 2016I can not thank you enough for funding our Chromebook project! This was the perfect Christmas present for my sweet 5th graders! They were so excited and the impact that they have already had on my students' learning is tremendous. Students are so much more engaged when learning with technology and particularly for my low-income students, they feel so privileged and special when they are able to use this technology.
Since being granted our Chromebooks, students have used them nearly every single day. I am able to give each student their own assignment and have it sent through Google Classroom or other educational websites such as readworks digital and quizlet. My students are benefiting so much from this because unlike with traditional activities, I am able to tailor my students' learning to fit their individual needs. The technology can meet the students where they are at in their learning and help to close gaps and build learning where they need it most!
Thank you so much again, this donation has been unbelievably beneficial to my classroom!”
