  • Storage Solutions and Snacks

    Funded Jan 26, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donation. The shelving unit and baskets have been very useful in our classroom since we have very limited storage space. The snacks and calming stickers helped us as we navigated some hard lessons and our PSSA's.

    The finger flashlights come in handy when we are reading our books. We use them in our Small Groups and we love it!

    The timer came just at the right time! We used it to help us get ready for our PSSA's and the magnetic rods are being used to hang out the anchor charts that we need for our daily lessons.

    I can't thank you enough for all the support you have shown our classroom”

  • When They Open a Book, They Open Their Worlds

    Funded Dec 31, 2021

    First, let me humbly apologize for the delay in properly thanking you. Please do not think that your generous donations to our classroom have gone unnoticed.

    The students have used the tracing letters to help them develop their letter recognition and fine motor skills. They love being able to go into our classroom library and pick up a book that they can identify with the main character.

    And the games like Number Bingo and Sight Word Zingo have provided reinforcement of our skills without anyone really noticing that they were actually learning! They are also now helping us get to the end of the school year!

    Again, I thank you for your support of our classroom, it has not gone unappreciated!”

  • Watch Us Grow

    Funded Dec 17, 2021

    First, let me apologize for my delay in this note. Your donations have been greatly appreciated and very much utilized and loved in our classroom.

    The jumbo pencils have helped all of my students that were struggling with fine motor skills and having trouble holding on to a thinner pencil. The pencil cases help them hold all of their supplies and have them ready to learn all day! The folders help keep them organized and keep all of their work together.

    The display shelves show us the books that we are currently reading and have them accessible for us all to reach out and grab something new to read. The easel paper has helped us create anchor charts for our room that help us reinforce our lessons.

    Thank you for all of your continued support and well wishes for success for me and my scholars.”

  • Watch What These Boom Cards Can Do!

    Funded Mar 17, 2021

    Your donation helped impact the lives and the learning of all of my scholars last year and it will continue to do so this year.

    My students last year were able to play games while learning new skills and through these games they were able to retain and implement that skills not only in our classroom but in their daily lives.

    I am able to use these Boom Cards in my current classroom and I know with all of my scholars being on varied skills levels that they will get the same benefits from these learning games.”

  • A Little Boom Card Goes A Long Way!

    Funded Dec 1, 2020

    Thank you for all of your support. Because of your generosity, my students were able to have a productive school year.

    The Boom Cards were set up to help reinforce our daily lessons. The students were able to play games and have fun while learning.

    The Boom Cards were able to be utilized on nights and weekends and it was beneficial to all of my learners. And they were able to see the progress that they achieved as they completed each set.

    Again, your support is greatly appreciated especially during these challenging times.”

  • Technology Is a Tool, Help Me Reach All My Students!

    Funded Dec 24, 2020

    Because of your continued support and generosity, I have been able to purchase Boom Cards that provide entertainment to my students while reinforcing the lessons that we are working on during class. They are able to go on the program after school and work on all of the cards/games that we have in our ever-growing library.

    I have also been able to purchase curriculum-based materials that I am able to upload into Google Slides or into SLSO for student learning.

    This year has been one that no one could have ever predicted, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for helping me make sure that all of my students have the materials that they need to be successful during this school year.”

    Mrs. Sloan

  • Wow, That Person in the Book Looks Like Me!!

    Funded Sep 18, 2020

    I humbly thank you for your generous donations to my classroom. Because of you, I am able to make sure that my students will have supplies that they can use in our classroom. They will be able to color pictures of people that resemble what they look like and what the members of their families and communities look like! That is amazing!

    I am looking forward to using our TPT giftcard to purchase more Boom Cards for our classroom! The kids really enjoy using them and don't realize they are learning, they think they are just playing games!

    The books will be read and loved over and over again in my classroom. I look forward to reading and discussing them with my students.”

  • Starting the Year Off Right!

    Funded Apr 19, 2020

    Thank you for your continued love and support for my students. I can't wait to be back in the building and show the students all of the supplies that will be waiting for them to use.

    Because of your generous donations, I will be able to make our classroom a welcoming place for learning and collaboration. The students will be able to have supplies of their own that they can use throughout our day which is most important now with the situation in our world.

    Again, I can't express just how much your support will impact all of the learners in my classroom.”

  • Ready or Not...3rd Grade, Here I Am!

    Funded Nov 23, 2019

    Thank you for your generous donations to my classroom. Teaching 3rd grade has been rewarding but not without some challenges. My voice was not ready, my resources were not ready but your kindness has helped me immensely.

    The karaoke microphone has helped me get the attention of the students when I need it most but it has also helped to give a voice to my children with low voices. The film has helped us create Christmas and Valentines for our parents.

    The magazine holders has helped me organize my room and the resource books allow me to help the students retain all of the information that they learned throughout the week.

    Again, I would not be able to do any of this without your help! I greatly appreciate your support and kindness.”

    Mrs. Sloan

  • Fun Times In Kindergarten!

    Funded Oct 8, 2019

    When I started this request, I was excited to be placed in a Kindergarten classroom, shortly after the school year started I was placed into 3rd grade.

    All of the supplies that I had requested have fit into nicely into our 3rd grade life. The camera and film get used to document the kids while they do work or they get to pick friends that they want to take pictures with as a reward for good behavior. As your can imagine, all of the students love it and are always asking to have their picture taken.

    The animal crackers and Tootsie Rolls help me with classroom management and come in hand when the students are working on a project and need just a little bit of extra incentive to stay in their seat. The putty helps us hang our anchor charts and art work on the classroom walls with out leaving any damage. And the sit spots help the students know where to sit and work during our centers.

    Thank you for your continued support of my classroom, it is greatly appreciated.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Sloan

One thing I learned in student teaching is that pencils are like gold in a classroom, you can never have enough. Also if you want to use something again, laminate it!! I have added some basic classroom supplies to my list. Your generous donation will allow me to spend money on other things for my classroom like: curtains, beanbag chairs, and other decorations. My students will come into school everyday knowing that they will be able to participate with every project in our class. The magnetic letters will be used during one of our Daily 5 centers, they will have books to listen to on tape, and stamps to help them with letter and word recognition. By laminating the activity sheets, the students will be able to them throughout the entire school year. I want my classroom to be a place that my kids are excited to come to everyday! I never want a child to feel uncomfortable because they don't have a pencil to use! When they are properly prepared, they will be eager to learn!
