  • Cushie Tushies

    Funded Oct 6, 2010

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and generous gift! The students love the bean bag chairs so much that I had to put them on a very strict beanbag rotation. Every morning I put five names on the board (we work in alphabetical order) and those are the ONLY children that may use the bean bag chairs that day. Otherwise we have children pouncing if a bean bag child gets up to go to the bathroom!

    Students enjoy bringing a book or a clipboard to the bean bag chair and working in a quiet spot. It has become such a special privilege to sit in a bean bag chair and it also helps with concentration and focus.

    I thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. Your donation has brought us such a wonderful treat!”

  • Montessori Madness!

    Funded Sep 25, 2010

    Thank so much for the incredibly kind and generous gift! You donation has brought such joy and fun to learning in my classroom each day. As you can see from the pictures, the class was so excited to open the box and see all these brand new and exciting games and materials. Their faces simply lit up.

    Every child, from the very bright, to those who struggle, was enthralled with these activities. They have a way of making each child feel successful, regardless of ability. I am so grateful to you for thinking of us and making it all possible.

    Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.”

  • Good Grammar Goes a Long Way

    Thank you so very much for your incredibly kind and generous gift! Your donation has brought us such wonderful and whimsical ways to learn grammar. As you can see from the pictures, the books were a BIG hit in the classroom. The children were so excited to open the box and their eyes just lit up when they saw all the colorful and exciting brand new books.

    I have such an amazing class this year- 18 very special and unique first and second grade students. They work so hard and it was such a pleasure to bestow these new materials upon them. We feel so fortunate that you chose to help us!

    Thank you again for your extraordinary generosity!”

  • Brighten Our Room with Color!

    Funded Apr 21, 2010

    How do we even thank you for such a marvelous and generous gift? The supplies you sent us have changed the culture in our classroom 100%. Where children used to fight over crayons and never have the colors they wanted, we now have a plethora of crayons, markers, and colored pencils. Creativity just flows, as my students have what they need to really express themselves on paper, It is such a joy to see.

    I am sending some thank you notes, made by the children, with their lovely new supplies. We are working on writing skills, such as capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and leaving space between our words. These letters come from the heart, even if they are a little difficult to read.

    Once again, my kindergarteners and I thank you for your generosity, kindness, compassion. Your donation has made a difference in the lives of 20 very special children.”

  • I-photo, U-photo, We All Photo For I-photo!

    Funded May 28, 2008

    Thank you so much for your extremely kind and generous gift! Your donation will give my class the opportunity to do all sorts of fun and exciting projects. Children love to see their own photographs and we will be making slide shows galore! Families in our neighborhood do not usually own cameras, so the classroom is the place where kids can take pictures to bring home. Having our own camera will mean so much to us. I thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart”

I teach a class of delightful first and second grade students. They attend a Montessori school in South Florida. We have a great mix of many different nationalities and cultures. It always fascinates me to watch them interact with each other. Having two different grades in the same room lends itself to a lot more mentoring and emulating than a typical classroom environment. I feel the children really learn to respect one another in a different way. Peace and kindness is a large part of our curriculum.
