• Room Transformation Materials

  Funded Dec 15, 2018

  Thank you so much for the generous donation. My students are so excited to use these room transformation materials. I am currently in the works of collaborating with a local college to use these materials in an even more realistic and applicable way to these students' worlds. We are going to inspire future doctors, lawyers, construction workers, etc. through the use of these materials. We are so excited to begin setting up our operating rooms, court rooms, racing scenes, etc. and begin learning in a relevant way. Thank you again!”

• Putting Diverse Books Into the Hands of Learners

  Funded Feb 19, 2019

• Writing Station Supplies

  Funded Aug 22, 2018

  We are so grateful for the funding of this project. When I told my students that someone had donated, they were so excited and I saw in them a spark for wanting to write. With all of the materials supplied, students will not only learn to write effectively, but they will love to write. When a student loves to write, the possibilities are endless.

  In today's world, students absolutely need written communication skills. As adults, they will communicate through their writing nearly every single day. My students and I are using these resources in Writing Workshop, where students work on the Writing Process and developing their skills. The fun supplies make writing workshop more fun and organized.

  We are about to begin a Grandparent Essay Contest very soon, and I know these supplies will be so great for that. Again, thank you so much. My students and I are very grateful.”

• Books for Kids

  Funded May 14, 2018

  I am so excited that this project got funded. Many of my students are reluctant readers-- mainly for the reason that they have not found a book of interest to them. In this project, there were several high-interest books included that my students have been requesting and I know they will enjoy. Daily, students are given time to independently read texts of their choosing. This time is invaluable and is what creates strong, avid readers. I cannot wait until students dive in to these books this year. However, what is even more fantastic is that these books will continually be of interest to kids in the coming years. Again, I am so thankful for this opportunity and very excited for my students. Thank you!”

• Escape Room Supplies for Kids

  Funded Mar 27, 2018

  My students and I completely are blown away by Ripple's kindness to public education. We are so appreciative of all of our supplies and are about to dig right in. When my students first saw the materials, they were completely blown away! Their smiles were truly worth every thing that has been done all year long so far. We have some wonderful plans to use these materials. Specifically, we will begin by implementing a test prep escape room where we will use the supplies to practice all of our reading and language skills we have been learning all year long so far. Again, thank you! Your kindness does not go unnoticed.”
