  • Let's Glow Scholars!

    Funded Feb 11, 2025

    Thank you very much for your generous donations towards this project. Due to your generosity, we were able to decorate for the whole school glow party including a black light, glow sticks and even a glow draw wall.

    Scholars enjoyed earning this celebration by being accountable with their classroom supplies. They had fun dancing, playing glow games and spending time with each other at this event. They even got to bring home a few glow sticks!

    We appreciate you taking time to celebrate all the hard work our students do and motivating them to keep up their great work!”

  • New Year, New Supplies!

    Funded Aug 6, 2024

    Thank you very much for your support with our beginning of the year supplies project. Due to your generosity, our classroom has been stocked with the supplies we need to learn and grow every day. The chart paper has allowed us to establish our classroom routines and procedures, along with new learning. The markers, erasers and other school supplies have helped us to show our learning in a variety of ways. We appreciate your generosity as we start the school year off strong. Thank you for all that you do for us!”

  • End of Year Creativity!

    Funded Jun 3, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity towards our end of year fun. With your help we were able to decorate pots and plant sunflowers, make suncatchers and create our very own tote bag. The end of the year can be a tough time for kids due to curriculum winding down, and my students loved all the fun we had and embracing their creativity! Sharing the last few fun days with them are some of my favorite memories of the school year. I hope to continue this tradition of end of year projects moving forward and cannot thank you enough for making it possible!”

  • Staying Calm for the MCAS!

    Funded Mar 4, 2024

    Thank you for your project donation! With this project we were able to get calm strips for all students for state testing and snacks to fuel our brains and bodies to learn! These tools allow us to be successful learners and we are very grateful.

    As we go into the summer, we want to thank you for your donations to not only this project, but for many the past school year. With your help we have the tools to be motivated learners every day. We appreciate all that you do for us in room 201 and hope you enjoy your summer!”

  • Winter Updates!

    Funded Nov 26, 2023

    Thank you very much for your support with this classroom updates project. We have been able to learn new vocabulary, display student thinking, and anchor our learning on the new easel in a very simple way. Students love the new winter books, especially Sneezy the Snowman. As we get into state testing, these tools will help us be prepared and successful thanks to you. We appreciate your generosity towards our classroom as always and look forward to new projects in the future. Thanks for all you do!”

  • Back to School Tools!

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you for supplying our classroom with tools for success this school year! My students are enjoying using the sensory tools at the break spot as well as our calming pup to work through challenging moments.

    The utility cart has allowed me to store our morning meeting supplies and to present instruction on the front board safely with my laptop. Additionally, the easel paper helps us daily to show our learning whether we are creating posters or summing up learning on an anchor chart to put around the room.”

  • Let's End the Year With a Bang!

    Funded May 10, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting our end of the year project! At the end of the school year, we enjoyed creating, collaborating, and celebrating with these activities! The planters allowed us to paint and plant for Father's Day and we enjoyed the arts and crafts. The tote bags allowed us to design and paint, and many of us are creative thinkers. We don't get to do these types of projects often, and thanks to donors like you we made it possible to have a little extra fun! Thanks again for all you do for our classroom community.”

  • Multiplication Matters

    Funded Dec 28, 2022

    My students and I are very grateful for your generosity towards this project. We have become multiplication masters, and many of us have completed all of our multiplication tables at this point in the year. Woohoo!

    Students continue to use the flashcards to practice during independent time, and to quiz one another. We love using the flash cards for games as well such as around the world and matching. I hope that my students will continue to be motivated to learn and master their facts as they prepare for 4th grade!”

  • Stem Bins Galore

    Funded Oct 18, 2022

    Thank you so much for your contributions towards this project! My students were bursting with excitement when these materials arrived this week. They have really enjoyed using the STEM tools during morning routine and choice time. So far, they have created some amazing structures and their collaboration has been amazing! We cannot wait to use these materials for our next unit project. We appreciate all that you do for us and cannot thank you enough! We will continue to use these tools as we move into our science and engineering unit.”

  • Starting Fresh!

    Funded Jul 28, 2022

    Thank you very much for your generosity towards our beginning of the year project! Moving to a new school was a lot of work for me, but the supplies really got us started comfortably for the year. The chart paper has been helpful for anchor charts and routines/ procedures in the classroom. The writing tools and markers have helped us have the basic supplies we need every day in class. We have enjoyed exploring the fidget tools and switching them out weekly in our calm corner. As always, we appreciate all you do for us!”

Our classroom is starting guided reading and we need materials including magnetic letters, whiteboards and center activities. This will allow my students to have a more enriched, hands-on learning experience every day. A large amount of my students need visual, hands-on tools as they are ELL learners. The magnetic letters will allow students to build, chunk and visualize new words during reading group every day. During my guided reading rotations, the variety of centers I have chosen will allow students to independently practice skills we have already practiced as a class. Additionally, the whisper phones will be used for independent reading time so that students can hear themselves read and monitor their reading on a regular basis. The mathematics tools will allow my students to get hands-on experience every day. A tool as simple as counters can be highly effective for a student struggling to understand a concept in mathematics. Students will build, practice and solve problems using both the counters and place value blocks. These tools will allow them to understand their practice and share their thinking with others on a daily basis. They will be used during both whole group and small group math time. I want to provide exciting learning experiences for my students every day and these tools will help me do so on a regular basis.
