  • 3rd Graders Love Novel Studies, and We Need New Books!

    Funded Oct 7, 2024

    On behalf of the 3rd-grade students and myself, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donation of books to our classroom! Your contribution will make a tremendous difference in fostering a love for reading and learning among the students.

    Each book offers new adventures, lessons, and opportunities for our kids to expand their imaginations and knowledge. We truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and support in enhancing their educational experience.”

  • Art for an Entire Grade: Desktop Easels, Canvases and Paints!

    Funded Feb 28, 2024

    Our project was funded with one generous donation! I can't wait to plan our first painting lesson!!!! I did an adult class one weekend and had so much fun, so I thought it would be awesome for the kids. Now I just need to find a teacher onsite with the artistic talent to help me!”

  • Help 3rd Graders Be Successful In School and Life!

    Funded Aug 13, 2021

    It is so exciting to have these planners so that we can teach our students how to manage their time. This life skill will teach them how to keep track of their schoolwork and commitments. This is a skill that many adults struggle with or just never had the opportunity to learn. The donation that you provided will set over 100 3rd graders (7 classes) up for success in school and life! Thank you!”

  • Help Students Be Inspired by the World Around Us!

    Funded Feb 23, 2021

    Thank you very much for providing this resource to my students. I have a lot of science promised once we return and this project will help me keep it. I will be able to set up a viewing station so that students can participate without touching anything. It will allow them to explore and learn in a weird classroom environment.”

  • Student Materials for Distance Learning

    Funded Jul 13, 2020

    I don't know how we would have survived this year without our binders and supplies! I was able to plan out a lot of pencil and paper work for my 3rd graders. My idea behind this is to get them working off-line for the majority of assignments. This turned out to be a major factor in student engagement very early in the year.

    Being on-line for 3rd grade is really hard! Not just learning how to learn on-line, but the strain on our bodies from having to sit still and look at a screen for hours. The binders that I made with your donation allowed me to teach a lesson on-line and send students off to work with paper and pencil. Not only did it help with eye-strain...organization is hard when you are 8! I was able to color code each subject and make sure that materials are easy to access. This allows all students to access materials!

    We have had two binder "refills" so far...they are possible because of the materials you so graciously provided for us! Besides all the academic support you provided, the joy and excitement when the students picked up their materials was priceless! They got brand new school stuff and it was just for them! I think it made a rough school year much brighter for my students!”

  • Help 3rd Graders Achieve Success With Hybrid Learning!

    Funded Aug 11, 2020

    Thank you so much for all of your help! I feel like learning to use a planner is key to teaching time-management skills. This year more than ever, the students need to have an easy way to organize and prioritize their school day.

    We will teach them how to use these planners, with the hope that it can ease some stress and trepidation that these 8 year old students are feeling.”

  • 3rd Grade Garden

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    OMG! We are so excited! We start state testing in a few weeks; so, we will be able to garden and learna bout life science after lunch everyday. Thank you for your donation. You have given 48, 3rd graders an amazing gift! I can't wait for you to see pictures of our learning!”

This year I want to share the amazing feeling of making something grow with my students. These materials will allow me to share this learning opportunity with my entire grade level using standards based materials. We have no science materials-we don't even have a text book that covers NGSS! I requested two school garden books to share with my grade level, so that we may plan out a feasible plan this year. I also requested seed, gardening tools, a vegetable garden kit, and a flower garden kit. These will help me include NGSS standards. I also need these sets to help me plan out how and when to plant. I requested dirt, and planting materials to add to our garden beds when planting. I am hoping to show the difference while learning about what living things need to survive. I requested two soil thermometers. We will learn to use them and include math standards for measurement and problem solving. These will allow me to conduct an experiment to see if soil temperature changes growth rate. While we are growing things out side I think it is important to see how they are growing. That is why I requested the root view planter for inside the classroom. We did not have butterflies last year, and it was very sad doing life cycles on paper plates when so many of my students can't go outside and search for real butterflies. I requested two butterfly pavilions for us to share amongst 4 classes. We will combine classes for research and discovery of the life cycle. These materials will allow them to be scientists and explore new ideas. They could come up with, or discover, something new! Isn't that what education of our next generation is really about?
