    We are so grateful for your generous donations that made our March Madness book tournament such a success! Thanks to your support, our students were able to engage with a wide variety of wonderful stories, fostering excitement and joy around reading. After weeks of thoughtful reading and voting,so many wonderful books. The top two books were Don't Eat Bees and Mr. S. Don't Eat Bees was crowned our Book of the Year. Your kindness helped create lasting memories and deepened our students' love for books. Thank you for making this special event possible!”

    I can't thank you enough for your generosity and support! The new bookcase and books have completely transformed our classroom reading experience. As soon as my students saw the new setup, their eyes lit up with excitement, and they couldn't wait to dive into the stories. Our classroom library has become a favorite spot, where students eagerly browse for books that reflect their interests.

  • Teachers Pay Teachers Resources

    Funded Nov 11, 2024

    I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your amazing support. The TPT funds have made such a difference in my classroom, especially when it comes to math. With the resources I was able to purchase, my students have had the chance to dive into a math unit that really brings the concepts to life. It's been great for both math enrichment and providing extra support where needed.

    I've also been able to send home math practice sheets with students, which has given them a chance to continue practicing and building confidence outside of school. The impact has been really noticeable—my students are feeling more confident with their math skills and even more excited to take on new challenges.

    The combination of interactive activities, practice materials, and the ability to use technology has definitely made learning more engaging. It's been so rewarding to see students warm up to the new tools, especially as they start to see how they can use them to solve problems in a way that makes sense to them.

    Thank you again for helping make this possible. Your generosity is making a real difference for my students, and I'm so grateful for your support!”

  • Kleen Slates!

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    I just want to say a big thank you for the colorful whiteboards! They are already adding so much excitement to our classroom, and I know my students are going to benefit so much from them.

    My students learn best when they can get involved and have fun, and these whiteboards are perfect for that. During writing practice, we create sentences together, and everyone gets a chance to share their ideas. It's amazing to see their faces light up when they see their sentences on display. Sometimes, we even draw pictures to go along with our sentences, which really brings our stories to life!”

  • Phonics Flip Books and Word Building Boards

    Funded Sep 26, 2024

    I just want to take a moment to say a huge thank you for the amazing resources you're providing for our classroom!

    In our class, my students learn best when they can play and explore, and the word-building board is perfect for that. We create words together, practice phonics, and have a lot of fun along the way. The kids love trying out different word combinations and seeing what we can come up with as a team. Phonics lessons are so much more engaging now!

    Thank you so much for your support and generosity. These resources are making our classroom an even better place to learn, and I'm so grateful to have them.”

  • Representation Matters

    Funded Oct 1, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous support! I was thrilled to add some new diverse books to our classroom library. This space was incredibly important to my students, as it was where we gathered for read-alouds and dove into independent reading. Each book received a lot of love, and my students were grateful for the opportunity to read.

    These new books not only helped keep our library fresh but also ensured that every student saw themselves in the stories we read. I wanted my classroom library to reflect the wonderful diversity of my students, allowing them to connect with the characters and stories. Your support made this possible, and I truly appreciate it!”

  • Wave Seats!

    Funded Sep 17, 2024

    Thank you so much for the Wave Seats! They had a significant impact on our first graders by providing them with comfortable and dynamic seating options. These seats allowed students to rock gently while they worked, helping them stay focused and engaged during lessons. With the Wave Seats, students were able to choose seating that suited their learning styles.

    Our goal was to create a dynamic classroom environment where students felt empowered to make choices that supported their individual learning styles. By incorporating Wave Seats, we improved collaboration, communication, and overall academic performance. Your support helped us create a comfortable and motivating learning space for our young learners!”

    Thank you so much for the BOB Books Deluxe Reader Collection! These books significantly enhanced our students' reading skills by providing them with engaging and accessible stories. They helped build confidence, improved literacy, and fostered a love for reading among our beginning readers.

    The rolling crate was an invaluable tool in organizing and transporting classroom materials, helping to keep our learning space tidy and making it easier to distribute resources.

Technology has the potential to revolutionize my daily classroom instruction. I currently only have five computers, and they are constantly being used. My students are eager to learn beyond the walls of our classroom. With the fulfillment of my project, my students will be able to access online resources using five new iPads. Project based learning is a major component of our classroom instruction in order to develop lifelong learners and researchers. These tablets would be used daily to provide students with a means to research and discover. This project will drastically impact the lives of each and every one of my students.
