Let's Play Some Math!
Funded Nov 21, 2021These resources have my students excited to learn math! After each assignment I'm asked over and over again "Can we do math games now?!" They love playing the games with each other but also independently. It's amazing to watch them have the love for math and desire to want to do it in their spare time. These games range from lower grade level to higher. It can do simple addition and subtraction all the way up to multiple digits multiplication and division. We are incredibly greatful for the donors who funded this project and gave us these wonderful opportunities to enhance math skills!”

This classroom project was brought to life by An Anonymous Funder and 6 other donors.Always Push Through!
Funded May 18, 2021The sentimental affect of this project is tremendous. Starting the year out in Covid, with such big changes, many of the students AND staff felt like they would be climbing a huge mountain. This book to always push through is an affirmation we used as a school that year to encourage and remind student's that you CAN do it! To have the student's be able to take home this book and have the reminder not just as school but in their home as well gave them the hope they needed to succeed! Thank you for funding this project and giving student's that reminder!”

Funded Feb 18, 2021I wish I took a photo and video of the student's reactions when I opened the boxes! They we're beyond amazed at all the items brought to the classroom! Donorschoose has made such an impact at a difficult time in education to give these students motivation. The student's pushed themselves to continue passing their lessons to get more marks on their chart so they can fill it up to get treasure box! Once a student see another get a light up bracelet, they worked even harder to get their goal met because they were all so excited to get one themselves! Thank you truly for such a blessing in our classroom!”

Keep Pushing Through, Read!
Funded Dec 8, 2020As the student's go through the books it has been an amazing experience to see their excitement finding these books in the class library! The girls love the baby mouse books as the boys always go after the action and creative imagination books. To get student's interested in reading can be a task, students struggle with reading or just don't like to make the time for it. These books give them the excitement they need to get involved, to partner read and engage with each other while developing their vocabulary! It is such a blessing to have these items in our classroom and we are all very grateful, thank you!”

Let's Get Started!
Funded Aug 12, 2021The students have been thrilled this year to use these items in our classroom. We've had almost enough headphones for all the students and they are unbelievably happy they don't have to use the harsh, tight headphones they always complain about. The hundreds chart is a hit! Especially for our students still counting to 100, and helping with addition and subtraction! The students are always asking for math centers to solve the math problems so they can use it. During recess the magnetic tiles is the most popular activity, we have a rotation chart for the week because the students all love building with them and showing me what they made! Thank you!”

Funded Oct 4, 2019The impact this has given the students has been amazing. The students eye lit up when they seen we had deliveries. It's always fun to get packages, but when its for them it makes it ten times better. The students all gathered around as we opened our new items with a lot of "whoa" and "wow" all filled with excitement. I am still building the games for reading and math, but this was a great start to the centers created to help engage the students in their learning. It's greatly appreciated and forever remembered!”
