Teaching with Math Collections!
Funded Sep 16, 2020Thank you for your generosity! Words can't express how grateful I am for your kindness and goodwill. The sturdy beautiful math counters were excitedly welcomed by my students! They couldn't wait to get their hands on them! They began forming patterns, grouping, categorizing, and counting them!
Unfortunately, due to covid, only four students come in person to school. I have to limit the way the counters are used but I know that as soon as we are back to normal they are going to provide years of math learning to numerous students! Thank you again!”

Funded Jul 22, 2019THANK YOU! Thank you for being so kind and generous! As soon as my students saw all the lovely materials they yelled with delight!
The scissors and crayons were immediately put to use! We use them everyday, and not just only for art, but with every subject. I wish I could better express how wonderful it feels to be able to give all the different color crayons to my students, and have extras just incase they need more. We just started using the art paper you purchased for us for our collage and self-portrait. We are all very excited to see how beautiful they'll end up!
Thank you once again for all the wonderful art materials! Your kindness and generosity has made us all so very happy!!”

Funded Jul 4, 2019I can't THANK YOU enough!! My students are beyond elated with our beautiful brand new set of Dr.Seuss books! They handle them with such care and delight, and they can't wait to go visit our special "Dr.Seuss Book Nook" to get their little hands on them.
I moved from Kindergarten to First grade this year, all of my class was introduced to Dr. Seuss last school year when we celebrated Read Across America. Receiving the new set of books afforded me the opportunity to raffle the old set of Dr.Seuss books to my students. I just wish I had more old books to raffle off because my students were so excited and grateful to have won one of the books! They couldn't wait to take them home, even though, some were torn and wrinkled from use, that didn't matter to them...they had a Dr.Seuss book and they couldn't be happier!!
Not only did your kindness and generosity bring beautiful brand new hard cover books to our classroom, you made it possible for some of my students to have their very own copy of the Super Dr.Seuss!”

Organization is Key to Learning!
Funded Sep 6, 2017Thank you, thank you so much for your generosity and kindness! Your wonderful patronage of our classroom is very much appreciated! Thanks to your gifts we have essential organization tools that have proven to be such an indispensable addition to our daily school instruction and learning. My students and I were so excited when we received all of our packages. All of the things were nice and new, we immediately began using them!
My students no longer have to go to their cubbies to retrieve their books. All of their necessary books are in the middle of their table in their red trays at arms reach. I have my routine cards inside the magnetic pouches, they are visible and accessible for instruction. Our classroom manipulatives, magnetic letters, etc. are well organized inside the plastic bins. My students use, then stack them up again when they are done. We began a new school wide leadership program and the magnetic bookcases have helped draw my students' attention and focus to the new curriculum. They like seeing and knowing what books I am going to read next.
All these educational organizational tools have proved to really enhance instruction and learning in our classroom. They have cut down on transition time and interruptions, making my students more independent and responsible!! Once again, thank you!!!”

Funded Oct 9, 2010I wanted once again to THANK YOU for your generous donation to our classroom and this letter is just a small token of my sincere appreciation.
We've already used the Color, Seasons and Weather Theme Boxes, and are currently using the Farms Theme Box. My students have learned so much so far from your generous gifts.

Can't wait to see the amazement and awe in my students' beautiful faces as they learn about life cycles and get to see and experience it first hand!!!
