  • School Supplies and Scholastics

    Funded Jul 29, 2022

    My students are using the new resources everyday in their learning. Students are able to use their brand new headphones to complete their math and reading assignments on their Chromebook without distraction from other students. They are helping them stay on task and focused. My students were so excited to use the new crayons, dry erase markers, and pencils in the classroom. They have enough supplies to last the whole school year!

    Students love the new water bottles also. Each student is able to have a water bottle of their own that they can keep in the classroom. This helps students not have to remember to bring one from home.

    Thanks again for your donations. It has made this year less stressful and has made the students excited about learning!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Merchant

  • Writing Supplies

    Funded Dec 29, 2021

    Thank you so much for the writing supplies. The students are using the pencils and dry erase markers everyday to complete whole group instruction work and their independent classwork. The pre-sharpened pencils have saved so much time in teaching because I have not had to stop in the middle of a lesson to sharpen a pencil. Also, the masks have been a blessing due to the mask mandate in the school. This has helped me provide a mask for a student if they have accidentally forgotten their mask at home or if their mask broke throughout the day. Thanks again for your contribution to our classroom!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Merchant

  • Reading and Organizing, Oh My!

    Funded Jul 7, 2021

    Thank you so much for your donations. With your donations I was able to buy a bookcase for my students to use in our classroom library. Every season/holiday I rotate the books out and students are able to see/read the new books. I also used your donation to put towards a new storage cart. This has helped tremendously with keeping our classroom supplies organized. My students are able to keep their daily school supplies organized with the pencil cases thanks to your donations. Again, thank you so very much for donating to our classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Merchant

  • Operation Organization!

    Funded Jul 17, 2020

    All I can say right now is WOW! You all have made our learning dreams come true. These supplies are going to motivate our students so much more! They already LOVE using the dry erase boards as a learning tool for group work and independent work. Just wait until I tell them all about the new supplies we will be getting that they will be able to work with during our Math and ELA blocks! They are going to be blown away! Thank you for the dry erase boards, thank you for the books, thank you for the organizational items! Again, THANK YOU so much for supporting our class!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Merchant

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. I just need your help in getting everything through our door! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. The use of whiteboards is a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math and phonics. Students come to the carpet with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. Students also use whiteboards during small group work and independent practice. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. The use of organizational tools in our classroom will help keep students on task. When students need certain materials they must leave their seats quietly to get what they need. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues. With the use of personal chair organizers, students would be able to have everything at their seat. The organizational cart will be placed in the back of our classroom and will help Math/ELA centers run smoothly every day.
