Starting Fresh!
Funded Jul 28, 2022Thank 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!”

Reading in Bloom!
Funded Mar 3, 2022Thank you very much for your generosity towards this project! The spring books have been added to our classroom library for students to come. We loved reading and sharing these beautiful texts. In addition, the book bags really helped us get organized with our daily independent reading. These book bags allow us to be independent with our materials and select books that are a good fit for us. We are very grateful for your support in our reading journey. We now have books for all the seasons in our classroom library!”

Let’s Go Out With a Bang!
Funded May 2, 2022Thank you so much for supporting this project! Due to your support, my students were able to end the year with tons of fun projects. This included tie dye shirts, slime, bubble party and even a gnome project. We had so much fun diving into these projects after working so hard this school year. Allowing my students to be creative is one of my favorite things to see in the classroom. Thank you for your continued support and generosity towards our classroom. We cannot wait to start the next school year!”

Falling for New Books!
Funded Oct 13, 2021Thank you so much for contributing to our fall books project! After only a few weeks with these books in our library, I have already noticed motivated, happy readers in our classroom! We have shared many of these books as a whole class, and students have been recommending different books to each other. My teacher heart is so happy to see this! The comic books have been of interest to many of my readers as well. They love taking turns visiting our classroom library to pick a good fit book!
I hope to continue to build and grow our classroom library throughout the school year!”

Back to the Basics!
Funded Jul 29, 2021Thank you so much for contributing to this project for our beginning of the school year needs. My students are very thankful for these supplies to kick off our school year! They use the pencil pouches, folders, and other writing tools on the daily to organize and complete their school work. These supplies should last us until at least the middle of the school year!
Additionally, we use the white boards for our whole group and small group math lessons daily. Students have shown so much work on these boards already! Their motivation to show and share their strategies has grown with these white boards. The fidget tools have been rewards that students can earn with their positive behavior points, and they are so excited to earn them every week!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Kleenex® Brand and 2 other donors.Socially Distanced Tools for Success!
Funded Mar 17, 2021Thank you so much for your generosity towards this project during such a challenging school year. With your help, my students were able to enjoy every recess with the chalk, jump ropes and coloring books. They loved playing outside together for the first time in months. I cannot thank you enough for providing them with these materials to finish off their year strong.
Additionally, thank you for providing fidget tools for the students to use during breaks and calm down time. They loved being able to pick out their own fidgets and try new ones out! These tools certainly helped them succeed and we look forward to a more normal year ahead!”

Remote Learning Reads!
Funded Jan 3, 2021Thank you so much for your donations for these books! The books for my students arrived last week and my students and class parents were so excited to learn about this project! I organized the books by level and interest for each of my students and then began the adventure of delivering them to each student. This took me a few days, but was well worth the excitement for many of my students. This was the first time many of my students saw me in person (masked and socially distanced of course) and that was amazing in itself! I received many messages of gratitude from parents last week saying that they were going to read with their child before bed and that it was much appreciated.
Many students have also started to share the books they received with the class and I cannot help but smile from their joy of reading right now. One of my students even read one of her picture books to her dog, and she is a level 1 ELL-- amazing! This project has really given us hope for the new year- thank you so much!”

Off to a Strong Start!
Funded Apr 23, 2020Thank you so much for the school supplies for the beginning of our school year! We have not yet started in the classroom in-person, but we are excited to use the pencil sharpener and writing supplies when we come back in person!
The whiteboard markers will be very helpful for our small group time and we are excited to use them! Once we get back into our classroom, we will get fresh supplies for in-person learning and these supplies will be part of that fresh start. Thank you very much for your generosity during these unprecedented times.”

Ready to Learn in the Fall!
Funded Jun 27, 2020Thank you so much for the variety of school supplies we were given for the start of the school year! At this time, we are still learning virtually from home. The notebooks, folders, pencil pouches and erasers were sent home in our at-home learning packages. Every day we use these materials to stay organized as we take on learning from home!
The chart paper and markers are being used as we share our thinking during many of our online lessons. We are so grateful for your generosity during this time and we cannot wait to be able to use more of the supplies when we come back in person!”

Sound On!
Funded Feb 26, 2020Thank you so much for donating to our headphones project! With your help, my students have been able to independently work on their personal computers without distractions. Students who have trouble focusing with noise distractions are now able to complete their online learning efficiently! Daily programs are being used with ease and far more engagement!
These headphones have also allowed my students to gain more responsibility. Every day when they get their computer they have to responsibly get their headphones out of our classroom set holder, and responsibly wrap and return them at the end of the block. They are learning how to work together to make sure our new classroom materials are used respectfully and responsibly.
Many thanks,”
