  • Happy Readers Have a Happy Library

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Part of why I became a teacher was because I had so many fond memories of elementary school. One of my favorite parts of the day was when my teachers would read aloud to our class. Now that I am a teacher, that is still one of my favorite parts of the day, though now I am the one doing the reading! When I read a book aloud to my students, we put it on our book display shelf. Putting it there allows students to choose that book to re-read for independent reading, allows us to reflect on it or connect it with future read alouds, and to see a theme in our reading if that is what we're working on.

    Having such a beautiful display signals to my students that reading is a special and integral part of our day, and makes our classroom look so beautiful and special.

    I can't thank you enough for your generosity. When I told my class about how people we didn't know cared enough to donate so we could improve our classroom, they thought it was so cool. It was an amazing example of goodness in the world. Again, thank you. Your generosity means the world to us.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wilks

  • A Place for Everyone on the Rug

    Funded Dec 11, 2022

    I wish you could have been in my classroom the day our new rug arrived. My class was so, so excited. They ran in, lay down on it, and I could tell they felt SO special. Many of my students come from challenging home situations, and to have something new and special meant more to them than I can express.

    Not only does having this beautiful new rug make our classroom brighter and give my students more space, the experience of creating this project and getting it funded has brought us closer as a class. I told my students about how we got this rug from people who don't know us, but wanted us to have something nice in our classroom, and they were amazed. You have given them the experience of seeing true kindness in action.

    I cannot express how thankful I am. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that it warms my heart every time I think about your generosity. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wilks

    This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and one other donor.
