Make It Last!
Funded Feb 14, 2025I am so grateful for everyone’s donations. These items will not only benefit my current class but they will benefit my classes for many years. I am thankful for the time I will save not having to duplicate resources that can be laminated and preserved. It truly takes a village to support our children.”

A Colorful Environment!
Funded Aug 22, 2023Thank you so much for funding our project. It has allowed us to have access to a color printer. We have a color printer in our school office but every time I needed an item printed in color I would have to email the document to them and wait to have it printed. Then we are limited with how often we can print.
My students have loved having resources that are in color throughout the classroom. We have been writing the room, and that is where we hang up different cards with letters, numbers, words, or shapes and they walk around in the room finding the cards and recording what was found. They have even started looking for them during their free center time. They will go get the magnifying glasses and wander they room together. Then as they find them they scream with delight I found the green monster, we did monsters for Halloween, with the number 6 on it.
The other exciting moment was being able to share color reports with the families at parent teacher conferences showing where their child scored on their Early Childhood Observation Tool. I had parents that had older children. In the past years they have been given grey scale copies, and they commented that it was so easy to read and understand.
Again thank you so very much! It is greatly appreciated.”

Creativity Through Art
Funded Dec 8, 2022My students were so excited to receive our Creativity Through Art supplies. We are doing project based learning units at our school. These supplies have been very appreciated and helpful as they create their projects.
One of the units the students choose was a Dinosaur unit. The students decided to create a dinosaur museum. We used our supplies to create dioramas. We used the watercolors to color the scenery in our dioramas. The scenery pieces that were added such as the volcanos and vegetation were copied on the cardstock.
We are so grateful for the generous donations. We will continue to use the supplies in our project based learning, and other activities in our classroom.”

This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and 6 other donors.Positive Behavior Treasures!
Funded Oct 24, 2017Thank you so much for your donation. All of the items received were turned into the "Tiger Store." The students try their best to make great choices and love working hard to earn DOJO points. After I received the items the students shopped from the store twice in November. Then they shopped once in December. They will continue to earn points so they can shop from the store once in each of the following months until the end of the year.
The students were super excited to see all of the items in the store. They like to sit and look at all of the items. They make plans for what they are buying and what they want to buy next time. After the first store when the children went to free time. I was putting the store away in the closet. One of the little boys was playing with stickers and he followed me and put a sticker on the store. He then said, "The store deserves a sticker!"
The store has helped with encouraging good behavior. They know there is a reward for all of their points they are earning. The students are always wanting to know who has the most points, which helps them work harder to earn more points. We are so appreciative of your donation.”
