Storage Solutions and Snacks
Funded Jan 26, 2023Thank 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”

This classroom project was brought to life by A Philly Special Christmas.When They Open a Book, They Open Their Worlds
Funded Dec 31, 2021First, 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!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Dollar General Literacy Foundation and 4 other donors.Watch Us Grow
Funded Dec 17, 2021First, 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.”

Funded Mar 17, 2021Your 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.”

Wow, That Person in the Book Looks Like Me!!
Funded Sep 18, 2020I 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.”

Ready or Not...3rd Grade, Here I Am!
Funded Nov 23, 2019Thank 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.”

Fun Times In Kindergarten!
Funded Oct 8, 2019When 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.”
