• Classroom Restock

  Funded Apr 10, 2025

  We are so excited to have received our new books and materials this week! The students are so excited to start using all of the materials! We know they are going to love them!

  I am most excited about the new read aloud books and the books that coordinate with our Tonies and Tonie box! I know we will enjoy these for many years to come!

  The classroom materials like the pencils, glue sticks, headphones and crayon boxes will help ensure all of our students have access to basic materials for the entire school year! Thank you for your donation that has made such a difference in the lives of my students!!”

• Time for Tonies!

  Funded Mar 8, 2025

  Thank you so much for supporting our Time for Tonies project! The students look forward to using the Tonies every time they go to the listening center in our classroom.

  Our collection has grown so much this year! We try to match the Tonies to our unit of study for the week and the kids really look forward to being able to use the Tonie box and Tonies independently!

  So much of what teachers supply for their classroom comes out of their own pocket. Thank you for helping to provide new, exciting, and engaging products that get our students excited about reading (and listening!) We are so thankful for your support!”

• Bundles of Books

  Funded Oct 22, 2024

  Thank you again for supporting our project, Bundles of Books! The books coordinate perfectly with the Tonies that we received earlier this year!

  Students are LOVING going to the Listening center! It's their favorite center all week! Now we have lots of books that they can follow along with while they listen to the stories on the Toniebox!

  I am so thankful for your assistance in helping get more books in the hands of my students! They are learning so much and I know it is because we are able to provide a variety of learning experiences throughout the day, just like this!”

• Tune in with Tonies!

  Funded Oct 1, 2024

  Thank you again for helping us fund our "Tune in with Tonies" project. Our students are absolutely LOVING the Tonie Box and all of the awesome Tonies that we have to go with it!

  They are eager for their turn to visit the listening center! They are engaged and excited to listen to the story and to retell the characters/setting or the sequence of events in the story! My hope is that the Toniebox and characters will continue to spark a love of reading throughout the year and throughout these students' lives! Readers are Leaders!!

  We are THANKFUL for your support!!”

• New School Year, Let's Go!

  Funded Aug 30, 2024

  We are so thankful for your donation to our most recent project, New School Year, Let's Go! You helped provide our class with new materials to help get our year off to a great start!

  We are LOVING our new round rug for our Art center. It matches the rectangular one that was already in our Science center and it looks so great in our room!! The headphones are being used with our chromebooks and they are perfect because they allow each student to have their own set to use! We love the pencil pouches as well to help all of our students keep up with all of their supplies.

  We are looking forward to using our new Science of Reading kit. We will use that in small groups when we really dive into the Science of Reading materials in a few weeks. Right now we are reviewing letters, sounds, and letter formation so we are not quite ready for it but we will get there SOON!!

  Thank you again for your generosity! These new materials are so helpful and useful in our every day routines! We appreciate you so much!!”

  Thank you so much for donating to our latest classroom project! Your generous donation allowed us to get our school year started off on the right foot! This year we have 24 Kindergarten students in our class and it is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!

  All of our students are enjoying their new materials! We are using the headphones daily with ipads and chromebooks! We are also using the fun pencils, large crayons and glue sticks and amazing writing paper each day!

  We can't thank you enough for your support! Many of you are repeat donors and I am so thankful for you! You make my job easier every day!”

• Gearing Up for a New School Year!

  Funded May 4, 2022

  Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! This project brought our classroom new materials for a new school year.

  This group of children is special! They are so excited about learning and they are so eager and willing to dive right in! Because of your donation, I was able to provide materials to my new students on day one of school. Many of these materials are used daily-especially the classroom headphones, pencil pouches and leveled readers!

  The students love using their own headphones and the pencil pouches keep us all organized! We can't thank you enough for donating to our classroom and always supporting us! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!”

• A Fresh Start

  Funded Aug 12, 2021

  Thank you so much for donating to our project over the summer! We have been using the new materials in our classroom and the kids are enjoying everything so much.

  The lego table has become one of the most popular centers in our rotation! I love it because it allows students to use their creativity to build and it fosters their imagination. The kids love it because they get to have some free time to explore and build on their own! It has been a wonderful addition to our classroom!

  The students have all received a new pair of headphones that they keep in their center box. They use these with their iPads for different apps and activities. It is so nice to have these headphones that they do not have to share!

  Finally, we LOVE the writing paper! It's just the beet! It is thick so it doesn't rip or tear if they need to erase and it has colored lines to help them know where to position their letters!

  These materials have made our classroom a better place this fall! Thank you for your continued support of education in this crazy time!”

• Good Clean Learning

  Funded Oct 22, 2020

  Thank you again for your donations to our project, Good Clean Learning! Our school year has been so different this year with Covid-19 and all of the new rules and procedures.

  We LOVE using our air purifier daily to help keep our classroom air clean! It is the first thing we turn on in the morning and the last thing we turn off in the afternoon! We can hear it "hum" a little louder when it needs to work a little harder to keep our air clean and it sure gives Mrs. Daniels and I a little peace of mind to use it in addition to our other cleaning supplies!

  We are excited about the acrylic dividers and using them for extra protection at our small group tables. Our class sizes have increased since January so these are extra helpful at this time!

  The kids love the bright colored foam mats in our classroom library! We are not allowed to have our beautiful classroom rugs this year so a little extra color in the classroom goes a long way!

  Thank you, as always for your continued support of our classroom! It means so much to us!”

• Spicing Up Our Storage and Writing!

  Funded Dec 20, 2019

  Thank you so much for donating to our project, Spicing Up Our Storage and Writing! My 21 Kindergarten babies were so excited to see the brand new Scout boxes come in! They were also so excited about the high quality writing paper!!

  The kids were so helpful in getting materials moved over to our new Scout bins. We cleaned out all of the old "clutter" and had it all put away neatly in NO time!! The kids (and I) love these new boxes! They are so nice and durable!

  I can't say enough about the new writing paper! Most of the time, we use a lined newsprint type of paper. This paper rips easily when the kids have to erase. The new paper is THICK, bright white, and does not rip!!! The kids love using the colored lines to be sure they have written every letter JUST right!!

  In this time of uncertainty, please know how grateful we are for your support of public schools! Thank you so much! Stay well!”
