  • Easter Reward for Good Students!

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    Thank you so much for the Easter rewards for my students that you gave them. I just want you to know how happy you made them and how much they appreciated everything you gave them. They were able to use the Easter books to practice their reading and they were great books, the squishy toys for their sensory issues, toys to cheer them up, and snacks that they enjoyed. My students felt like the luckiest kids in the entire school when the other students saw me with the bags and wanted them and I said sorry they are for special students. My students have been working so hard this year and your gift is giving them the motivation to work even harder this week during state wide testing. I really appreciate what all the donors do for my special education students. My students don't have it easy, but they work so hard and want to do well so badly. Having people who care so much about them makes them so happy.”

  • Students Need Sneakers for School!

    Funded Mar 14, 2025

    Thank you so much for providing sneakers for my students who needed. With so many immigrant students who have come to my school and those that are less fortunate, it is really important that these kids have sneakers. Students shouldn't have to go to school and not have what to put on their feet or worry about things like this. Yet, this is the reality that there are kids like this out there and I want them to focus on learning and not what they don't have. I have many students who come to school and ask to get a second breakfast because they are hungry. I also have students who say that they don't have enough food at home, so the reality is that there are kids out there who need our help. With the rising food costs in this country, unfortunately, we are going to see more and more kids who need things because they won't have it otherwise. Thank you again for giving my students these sneakers so that they can come to school and know that they have what they need.”

  • Team Basketball Players Must Have Sneakers to Play Basketball!

    Funded Jan 2, 2025

    Thank you so much for making sure my basketball team has everything they need to be the best basketball team that they can be. By giving my students basketball sneakers that are all the same you are helping me eliminate competition among the players that can't afford the fancy sneakers that other students can afford. This way, all players are using mid priced, good quality, durable, and well fit sneakers that they can play in. Students should not feel competition about finances when playing basketball and everyone should feel good about themselves. Basketball players should only think about playing to their best if their abilities and winning. We appreciate everything you do for us.”

  • Hungry Students Can't Learn!

    Funded Mar 14, 2025

    Thank you so much for ensuring my students have snacks to learn. Learning on an empty stomach is very hard and having snacks on hand for hungry students is really important. As a public school teacher who's salary is not high, having to buy supplies out of pocket means that my own children at home will have less with food prices as high as they are today. Having donors who want to help my students means a lot to me. My students want to do well in school and learn, but many come from homes where they don't have enough food to feed them and having food for them is really important. Thankfully, I have never known what it is like to be hungry, but many of my students come to school and ask for two breakfasts each day because they haven't eaten since the day before. I love teaching my students and having the right supplies is crucial.”

  • Hip Hip Hooray for Improving Behaviors, Effort, and Perseverance!

    Funded Mar 4, 2025

    Thank you so much for funding my project to get my students gift cards for positive behavior and academic rewards for our PBSIS program. In today's day and age with kids on the phones all day playing video games and using social media, kids are out of control and do what they want when they want. Kids use social media to bully each other and as teachers we have few ways to discipline students for negative actions both in and out of school. With the PBSIS program, we are able to reward students for good behavior and try to encourage other kids to improve their behaviors and become better students and people. Becoming productive citizens of society with respect and manners is something that needs to be learned from a young age and I want to make sure that not only do my students learn academics in school but to be good people as well. Thank you for helping me make my students be the best students that they can be.”

  • Snacks and Treats for Good Students!

    Funded Dec 19, 2024

    Thank you so much for all the treats you have given my students for all the good work that they did and are doing. All kids love to be rewarded for doing good work which motivates them to try harder and work even better or continue to do good work. I really appreciate all the support I get from donors like you who give my students the things that they need to make them the best students that they can be. My students have been getting rewards for doing well on diagnostic testing, unit tests, great homework, and for participating in class. In addition, my coteacher has made a "store" in the class to teach more math skills, so students are rewarded with fake money each day for different things that they do in a positive way. Then, students can cash in their fake money for treats once a week. Sometimes items are discounted with percents so students have to find the new price of the item to buy it. This also teaches my students the value of money as well as to count money and what the value of each coin and bills are. Today, we use apple pay and credit or debit cards so much that children aren't even exposed to real money so they don't even really know how to use it. By you giving my students these treats, you are allowing my co teacher and I to teach math skills while rewarding the students.”

Because I work in an inclusion classroom, I want the inclusion students to have all the resources they need to succeed. By getting touch screen Chromebooks the students will be helped in two ways. First, in New Jersey my students take the PARCC, so they will be able to practice using technology as they learn material. When they take the PARCC the technology component it will not be a shock to them as they will have practiced with it on a daily basis. Secondly, my students respond better and are more motivated to work with technology. Currently we have the students write on the white board tables with dry erase markers to have students work out problems that they are learning. However, at times this is problematic because things get erased or it does not translate as well on white board tables as it will with touch screen Chromebooks. With this technology there are tools that students can use to flip or manipulate pieces to better help them visualize what they are doing.
