Multicultural Classroom Environment
Funded Aug 12, 2021It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward our "Multicultural Classroom Environment" project. Your donation commitment was incredibly helpful and allowed us to reach our goal which enabled us to receive multicultural books, plastic foods, dolls, puzzles and other learning material (including digital resources). You truly did a wonderful thing and the materials received have directly benefited 19 children in my classroom.
As seen in the photos, the children have been very excited about the materials and request to play with those supplies daily. The students have made tones of things to share with their families. They have been utilizing the different emotion dolls to place with the special abilities wheelchair, sight seeing dog, etc. They love the new puzzles and help one another try to place the pieces in the correct location.
The materials from your generous donations have allowed me to teach the children about diversity through play, including music, dolls, puppets, puzzles, and arts and crafts. Engaging in activities that represent the home cultures, enables children to learn new concepts, explore new attitudes, and develop new skills as well as learn more about each others families and diverse backgrounds.
Having access to multicultural literature has empowered my students to have positive attitudes towards diversity and tolerance, and that it is okay for others to be different from what they are used to! They will one day be respectful and character minded citizens of this world, that have sensitivity and tolerance for all people.
Again, thank you for your donation!”

Funded Jul 19, 2021It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward our "Biliteracy Immersion Station for Young Learners". With the learning station that was donated, we have been able to have an area for learning. This easel serves a multitude of purposes in our classroom and students are enjoying learning from it and easily accessing their learning materials.
Your donation has given my students a comfortable area in the classroom to learn and be active. It has also impacted the quality of focus and learning that my students receive through self directed practice by using the easel for their own learning purposes! I am confident that having an area where everything is accessible for the students will build on their independence for future grades.
Again, thank you for your donation. Our children's faces light up when they know we are headed to the carpet for an activity. This is also as highlight of my day, to see them freely learning, happy, and engaged! Thank you again!"”

Magic Carpet Squares for the Classroom
Funded Sep 20, 2021It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Magic Carpet Squares for the Classroom"! With these amazing rug squares, my students were able to have flexible seating in the classroom throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. They were extremely useful to our reading group partnerships.
The students were excited to use them on a daily basis. Some students had their personal favorite square, based on the letter or picture and they would go straight for it. We were also able to use them during schools events, when seats were limited due to social distancing.
Thank you for your kind and generous donations! We are very appreciative!! These rugs will last for many schools years to come, allowing multiple future children to benefit from it. Thank you once again!”
