  • Teacher Tools

    Funded Aug 1, 2020

    Thank you so very much for the incredible teacher supplies that you helped me receive. Each one is helping me so much throughout the days, which is greatly benefiting the students as well.

    I was so thrilled when I opened my supplies. The microphone is everything I was hoping for and more! It has been such a fun addition to our classroom. I can't wait to allow the students to use it, too, when germ-sharing isn't such an issue. The Mavalus tape helps hold our work and learning up so strong...no more falling papers, anchor charts, or posters! The personal paper cutter has been so useful so I can cut out any necessary work for students. The desktop calendar is keeping me so organized. Last, the two books are a perfect addition to our story and learning time.

    These items have truly been a blessing so again, thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Johnson

  • Playdoh, Crayons, & More!

    Funded Jul 30, 2020

    Thank you so much for helping provide so many amazing resources for our classroom. Our items arrived just before the beginning of our new school year and we are already starting to them. These items have proven essential to enhancing our classroom during a very difficult time.

    The students were so excited when they saw each item. The school-to-home folders are a great, sturdy folder to help transport necessary information to and from school. The Playdoh is a wonderful tool for the students to use throughout their learning during the day or even just when they may be feeling stressed and need a small break. The multi-cultural crayons are giving students such joy as they can find the perfect shade to represent themselves and the ones they love. The replacement bulbs have brightened up our classroom in the most perfect way. The colorful paper has been great to use when making individual stations for students...who doesn't love wonderfully bright colors? Last, but not least, the stickers have become part of our classroom reward system and the students are working hard to earn them...they cannot wait to make their first choice!

    Again, thank you so much for your generosity and your help with these items. It has truly made a huge impact!”

  • Classroom Supplies

    Funded Jul 27, 2020

    Thank you so much for helping provide so many amazing resources for our classroom. Our items arrived just before the beginning of our new school year and we have been utilizing them each day. In a time that has been difficult, these have been such a bright spot to us.

    The students were so excited when they saw our new items. The zipper pouches and Command hooks could not be more perfect for holding the students' daily supplies. They can just pull their pouch out of their backpack each morning and hang it right on the hook. This is a huge time saver as it is always within reach and keeps their supplies nice and tidy! The journals are a perfect addition to our writing time as students have space to share their stories and add a beautiful picture.

    Again, thank you so much for your generosity and your help with these items. It has truly made a huge impact!”

  • Classroom Basics

    Funded May 5, 2020

    Thank you so much for helping provide these new resources for our classroom. Our items arrived just in time before the beginning of our new school year and we are utilizing them every day. Each one has been a big help already and will continue to be throughout the year.

    The students were so excited when they saw our new items. Our fridge is set up and running perfectly...no more lukewarm snacks! Yay! The dry-erase markers have also helped us in our daily math and writing practice as we can use them with personal whiteboards to help us while we are working through various activities.

    Again, thank you so much for your generosity and your help with these items. It has truly made a huge impact!”

  • Making Math Meaningful!

    Funded May 5, 2020

    Thank you so much for helping provide so many amazing resources for our classroom. Our items arrived just before the beginning of our new school year and we are already starting to utilize part of them. Unfortunately, with the pandemic that we are facing, we are not able to utilize every single one as we cannot share hands-on items but I trust we will be able to soon!

    The students were so excited when they saw each item. We use our new 120-chart daily and it has been a huge help in our working with numbers. The dry-erase markers have also helped us in our daily math practice as we can use them with personal whiteboards to help us while we are working through various math problems. The Hot Dots have not yet been used due to the need for sharing when they are, but we are ready when the time comes!

    Again, thank you so much for your generosity and your help with these items. It has truly made a huge impact!”

  • Creating a Comfortable Classroom!

    Funded Jun 26, 2019

    Hello and thank you so much for your support in helping our classroom receive some much-needed items! I received the items from this project just in time for school to start so I could have them all ready and waiting for when the students arrived. I shared with them from day one how we had some new special items that had just been bought for our class this year and they were beyond excited!!

    Having the addition of new lighting has really helped to brighten up our room and allows the students to have plenty of light all throughout our classroom. The addition of new seating options has allowed me to provide extra seating so now even more students can choose a just-right-seat for when they move throughout the classroom to work. To some, these may have seemed like small problems but it makes a HUGE difference in the look, feel, and utilization of our classroom and YOU helped make that happen!

    Our year is off to a great start and the students are absolutely loving the space they have been given to learn in. Your generosity has made such a big impact on me and my students and we are so thankful. This impact will last for years as I am able to continue to utilize these supplies for years and years to come. Thank you again for your donation, support, and love!”

  • Soft Lighting

    Funded Nov 18, 2017

    Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom lighting project! It has made a huge impact on our classroom and learning environment and we are all so thankful. The whole atmosphere in our classroom has changed and we do not even use the bright overhead classroom lights anymore. The ambiance that comes from our soft lighting gives our classroom a more peaceful and home-like feeling. The students are much more calm and able to focus better. I truly think the harsh lighting we had previously really affected them and this has brought such positive change.

    When the box first arrived, the students were filled with eager anticipation about what could be inside! I shared with them that some very special people had helped supply our classroom with something new and exciting. We talked about how we liked working with the lights off but that we didn't have quite enough light that way and that whatever was in the box would help with that. When we opened it, they were so excited to see the lights!! They said it felt like Christmas :) They wanted me to hang them right then but I told them they would have to give me some time to get them up and that I was just as eager as they were. When the lights did get hung and they saw them for the first time, their faces lit up! They love them!

    Truly, words cannot express our thankfulness for your contribution to our project and helping us get such great lighting in our classroom. It is being enjoyed by all, even those who stop by our classroom. People always say they love the feel that the lights give and that they wish they had the same thing in their own classroom. Your generosity means so much so thank you again!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Johnson

The current lighting in our classroom is quite bright and harsh and my students often ask me to turn off the lights or at least one set. This can cause it to become too dark at times depending on the amount of light coming in from the outside. Having softer lighting in my room will help my students to not have to deal with the harshness of our overhead lights but still have light to see as they complete their work. It is also amazing how much calmer our classroom is when the lights are off! My students will be able to learn more because they will not be bothered by the harshness of the current lighting. These lights will be able to be hung from the ceiling and be out of reach of curious hands!
