Math Centers
Funded Nov 3, 2021Thank you so much for your support of my classroom and my students. The kids have been using their new math center materials for the past few months. Engagement has gone up!
When I first opened all of the new materials for them you could see the excitement on their faces! They look forward to math centers everyday. The hands on materials really help them practice skills they have learned.
These materials have truly made a difference in my students learning. They spend more time on task and less time distracted. They are now super independent when it comes time for math centers!”

Funded Oct 17, 2020Thank you so much for your support of my classroom. The headphones have been such a help for both our in-person kids and our remote students. They can ignore distractions both at home and in the classroom and focus on their learning.
The personal pencil sharpeners have been a huge help. Students can't share supplies right now so for each student to have their own is huge! The students also love using their dry-erase sleeves to practice math facts or play reading games.
Thank you for your continued support of my students and their learning!”

Blended Learning Materials
Funded Aug 31, 2020Thank you so much for supporting my classroom. My students were so excited to receive their own personal binder with materials they would need to be successful this year. These materials have been so helpful while we transition back and forth between in-person learning and remote learning. Students always have their binders with them to grab any resources they need. The students also love having their own dry erase markers for math! It has increased their engagement.
Lastly, the students loved all of the read aloud that were funded,
Thank you so much!”

Funded Sep 9, 2019My students are loving the resources that you provided for them! The seat sacks have been a real life saver in our classroom. The students are able to keep their most important materials in there.
When my students first saw the new books, tablets, and fidget toys they were so excited! They have been using these materials every single day. The books are read over and over. The fidgets help them regulate their emotions and stay focused. The tablets are great for reading intervention.
Right now, we are working on reading with fluency and addition/ subtraction. The dry-erase markers are so useful during our math time. Students are able to quickly show work in an engaging way.
Thank you so much for your continued support of my students and our classroom!”

New Classroom Needs New Supplies!
Funded Jan 9, 2019Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our classroom. The materials we received have truly made such an impact in my students' daily lives. They also help keep the classroom organized and running smoothly. The kids were so excited when the materials arrived!
The noise-canceling headphones have been such a game changer. I had a few students who could not handle any distractions while they worked; even a minor sound would prevent them from doing their best work and staying focused. Now, with the headphones, those students are able to get more work done and feel better about the work they complete.
The student mailboxes, seat sacks, bins, and pencil holder have really impacted the classroom and student organization. Students can pack up with ease by going to their mailboxes. Now they can no longer say they didn't get homework or important letters! The seat sacks gave the students who didn't have storage in their desk somewhere to put their materials and minimized noise and distractions because they no longer have to walk to their cubbies. The pencil holder is probably my favorite addition. Now students can place their pencils in their numbers at the end of each day. It didn't stop calls of "I need a pencil!" but it did minimize them.
The students also love using the dry-erase boards and dry-erase sleeves during math centers. Heading into math test prep, we will be using both to help keep students engaged. The sleeves are a great way for students to play math games. Test prep can be scary for third graders who have never done it before, but the materials we received will help keep them focused and even having some fun!”
