  • Our Kindergarten Students Need Supplies to Begin the School Year!

    Funded Aug 5, 2024

    My students are very thankful for the thick pencils that help them to learn how to maneuver in their little hands that help them to write their names.

    The large boxes of crayons are being used every day to make their artist creations. Having these tools to use everyday really helps because many of my students don't have the supplies at the beginning of the year, and we are truly grateful for them!

    The many donations of cleaning wipes are being used every day to wipe their tables after breakfast and helping to keep germs away!

    We are truly grateful for your generosity.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Zacierka

  • My Students Need Headphones!

    Funded Feb 27, 2024

    Many of my kindergarten students, and their parents, do not have the means to buy headphones for school. Now, with the support of Donors Choose, all of my students have a pair of working headphones which we use almost every day.

    Having the technology to use this tool truly helps my kindergarten children to stay on task, without having other distractions. to complete their work. It also makes it easier to focus on learning their letter sounds and beginning to write words and stories.

    It is very heart warming to see that many of my students are becoming more independent, through the use of this technology in our every day classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Zacierka

  • My Small Classroom Needs an Easel!

    Funded Feb 23, 2022

    I want to thank you for your generosity in helping my students. This easel will make a big impact on many of the reading, writing, and math activities we do every day! I am very grateful for your support and investment in our future scholars.

    My students will be so excited to be able to use the easel on a daily basis.”

    Mrs. Zacierka

  • A Bright, Cheery Rug Makes Reading Fun!

    Funded Aug 15, 2017

    I would like to, once again, thank you for supporting my project to give me a large, colorful carpet which my students and I use every single day! This large, colorful rug brightens my classroom and is the centerpiece of our learning environment.

    Every morning we start the day with Morning Message to practice the calendar, including days of the week, months, and the weather and seasons. My students really enjoy sitting on the comfortable carpet as a break from their desks and chairs. We read books, complete reading centers, and even play games on this wonderful carpet. As the teacher, I especially enjoy the large squares, which lets every child have their own "spot" and helps with classroom management!

    I feel like I could go on forever about the benefits of having this amazing addition to my classroom! Your support is truly appreciated! Thank you for giving my students a comfortable area to learn to read!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Zacierka

I am a first grade teacher at the John H. Webster School in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. The children in my class come from very diverse backgrounds and many live in poverty. Most of my students can not afford even their basic school supplies. These are wonderful children who need to be given a chance to succeed! My classroom is in an old building with many problems. I try my best to make the class bright and cheery for my students! I am trying to get a large classroom rug so that my students have a fun, comfortable place to sit together while enjoying stories and morning meeting time.
