  • Finish Strong!

    Funded Mar 16, 2025

    Thank you for your donation. You have such a kind heart and I’m grateful you chose to help my students with these items. As you know, rewarding the kids goes a lot way but can get expensive when we have to do it ourselves, so thank you for helping support!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Dries

  • Continue Working!

    Funded Jan 15, 2025

    Thank you for your donation to our project! The students are blessed to be able to have these snacks in their classrooms. These items are such a special gift to give the students to be able to always have a snack midday. Being able to gift them with something they may not get otherwise is a blessing. The students have loved having a snack each day to look forward to. I can't say thank you enough for giving them a smile on their face and making them feel special by having these items donated. It is truly appreciated,”

  • Keep Pushing Through!

    Funded Dec 16, 2024

    The students were so excited to get these rewards! Many students don't have the rewarding in the homes and when they come to school it's something they look forward to. These items were their reward during reading and small group and to see their smiles light up, it is amazing. The impact you helped have on these students is more than anyone could ask for. I can't thank you enough for finding our classroom and donating towards these items. There were plenty extra to be able to use in the future for more rewards as well!”

  • Keep Reading!

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Students in third grade can struggle with the simple phonics skills, but yet somehow they're in the third grade. These items have helped those students progress in the learning to be able to sound out words and become more fluent. They practice each day, they apply the phonics skills whether using flash cards or the flip chart. The students continue working each day in small group to be able to read fluently in the future. Thank you for your donation for these items as they are helping our classroom of struggling readers succeed!”

  • Snack for Class!

    Funded Sep 17, 2024

    With the students working every day, we have been working diligently on our reading skills and reading every single day. We read together, we read independently, we take reading tests to see if our skills have improved. Rewarding our students for their hard work is important as they continue their high efforts everyday. The snacks have provided the students with rewards and energy to continue to succeed each day before testing approaches. We can't say thank you enough for the donation to help make this possible!”

  • Getting Ready To Celebrate!

    Funded Sep 21, 2024

    Thank you for donating to this classroom project. To be able to give these students the means of hydration throughout the day, regardless of what class they are in, is a blessing they'll appreciate throughout the year. The students are in a portable with me this year, without a sink or restroom. This has brought difficulties in staying hydrated as they have to walk outside to the building, in this 90-degree daily Florida weather. I am grateful to be able to offer the students their own custom water bottle to help keep their focus!”

Students don't learn their best when they are sitting in their seats and listening to a lecture for hours. Having the students engaged, moving and at times without even realizing their enhancing their skills. The students learn the content whole group, but each student learns at their own pace and in their own way. Students learn from many different forms as well. These games help the students learn together, from one another, all while practicing different skills in a way they look forward to. When working in math center groups, these games can work with the students in small group on different skills and different levels; as well as Language Arts. The student's scores last year excelled and reached their goals in growth because of what I truly believe bringing different ways of learning that is fun and exciting to them!
