Building Academic Language and Social Emotional Skills
Funded Sep 13, 2021Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! The school year is in full swing and the students are LOVING the time they get to spend building, creating and playing with each other. We have seen incredible growth in our students' vocabulary, social-emotional skills and ability to interact with each other. The students enjoy building communities out of blocks, acting out our favorite read alouds with puppets, and creating beautiful art projects with the art supplies. After many hardships in the past 18 months, the materials are bringing joy and active learning to our classroom. We are so grateful for your generosity.”

Tools for First Grade Success
Funded Nov 27, 2019Thank you so much for your generous donation to our project! We strive everyday to give our students the highest quality learning experiences and we are so grateful for your support in this endeavor. Our students were SO excited to receive all of their new learning tools! Every day, big boxes would show up at our classroom door and the students couldn't wait to find out what was inside.
The iPads were a huge hit and have enabled us to further differentiate learning to meet all students needs. We use a variety of educational apps for reading and math, and the new iPads allow more students to access these digital tools on a regular basis.
Our students love to read and are becoming stronger readers every day, so the new books have been instrumental in helping all students identify as readers and find books that build their confidence and skills!
All of the sensory tools, such as the weighted mats, wobble cushions and the noise-canceling headphones have made a huge difference for our students with special needs. These tools help our students to self-regulate so that they can be more successful and engaged in instruction.
Thank you again for your generosity and support!”

Learning Tools for 3rd Grade Success!
Funded Sep 7, 2017Thank you so much for your generosity in supporting my students. The school year is in full-swing and student learning is already feeling the positive impact of your donations! The students were SO excited to receive our packages, and even more excited when I let them know how many people are invested in their success. The individual book bins have enabled students to "book shop" in our classroom library and keep a small collection of high-interest books to read independently each week. This provides many opportunities for student-centered choice, promoting engagement and differentiated learning. Additionally, we are so excited to utilize our document camera to showcase and celebrate student work in real-time.
The classroom rug was a BIG hit, brightening the atmosphere of our classroom environment. The individual squares on the rug have greatly enhanced the learning experience, giving each student personal space to focus on their best work. Already, I have seen this transform student attitudes when approaching whole-class lessons. A majority of my students come from backgrounds where many aspects of their life are out of their control, and the organized environment provided by the rug brings a sense of peace and structure that is critical to their learning success. An added bonus- in the words of my students "Its SOO soft!"
I cannot thank you enough for your support.”
