  • A Place to Sit!

    Funded Aug 31, 2024

    Thank you so much for supporting our DonorsChoose project, A Place to Sit! Your kindness has brought so much excitement and comfort to my 2nd-grade classroom.

    With your help, we now have a new, clean carpet that allows students to choose the best spot for their learning. This new carpet and the seating option it provides is already making a difference by giving my students the freedom to focus and choose a seat that is best for them during lessons and activities. They're so excited to have seating that matches their needs, and it's creating a more welcoming and productive learning space.

    Your generosity has truly transformed our classroom environment, and we're so grateful for your support. Thank you for believing in my students and helping make their learning experience even better.”

  • Engaging Math Fluency!

    Funded May 8, 2024

    Thank you so much for supporting our DonorsChoose project, Engaging Math Fluency! Your generosity has made a big difference for my 2nd-grade students, giving them exciting new ways to build their math skills.

    The hands-on materials you provided are helping my students practice addition, subtraction, and problem-solving in fun and interactive ways. It's been amazing to see their faces light up as they use these tools to learn and grow. They're not just improving in math—they're gaining confidence and learning to work together.

    Your donation has made math more engaging and helped set my students up for success. We are so grateful for your support and for believing in our classroom.

    I cannot thank you enough for funding this project JUST in time for our new math unit!

  • Customizable Whiteboards for All!

    Funded Nov 29, 2023

    Your support has brought about a transformative change in our whole-group lessons through the use of KleenSlates customizable whiteboards.

    Thanks to your thoughtful contribution, our students are now actively engaged and participating in our lessons like never before. The KleenSlates whiteboards have become an invaluable tool in keeping our whole-group activities dynamic and interactive. With each student equipped with their own whiteboard, everyone has the opportunity to contribute and share their thoughts, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Additionally, the customizable panel feature has allowed us to turn any worksheet into a dry erase activity, enabling us to review and practice concepts in a fun and interactive way.

    These whiteboards are such a staple in our classroom - we use them each and every day! They get so much use and love from our students and we could not accomplish that without your generosity! Thank you so much for supporting learning in our classroom.”

  • Warm Sweaters!

    Funded Nov 19, 2023

    Your support has made a significant impact on our students' well-being by providing them with a class set of warm sweaters to borrow on chilly days when the temperature inside the school is cold.

    Thanks to your thoughtful contribution, our students no longer have to endure the distraction of feeling cold during class. The availability of warm sweaters has ensured that they can focus on their studies and fully engage in classroom activities without being hindered by the cold. Whether it's during morning lessons, group discussions, or independent work, the sweaters have become a comforting and essential resource for our students, allowing them to remain cozy and attentive throughout the school day.

    My students use these sweaters every day and they have truly helped to make students more comfortable and to decrease disruptions, as they now have an easy solution if they feel chilly. We are so grateful for your support in providing us with these sweaters to use in our classroom!”

I am a first year kindergarten teacher at a low-income, Title I school in Norfolk, Virginia. 100% of our students receive a free breakfast and a free lunch. I first fell in love with the scholars at this school during my student teaching. These littles stole my heart and I'm so grateful to have a full-time teaching position to continue to get to know more and more of them. Despite facing numerous barriers to education, both in and out of school, the scholars at this school impressed me from day one. Their kind hearts and willingness to try pushed me to be a better teacher and show up for them, day after day, no matter what. I know that each and every one of my scholars will find their home in my classroom. I'm so excited to watch them grow as I support their learning!
