6th Grade Supplies and Fun!
Funded Nov 28, 2023This past school year my classroom received your amazing donations for school supplies and games.
These supplies were essential for my students to be able to work creatively and collaboratively on worksheets, projects, and presentations. Without them we would not have been able to design science projects or create graphical representations in math class.
The games provided structure during our Fun Fridays and were essential in our now annual Connect 4 tournament during Fun Day this year.
While I know this letter is coming a little late, I appreciate your understanding that the school year is extremely busy and sometimes I need the summer to be able to reach out. Thank you again for everything you do for me and my students, I hope your summer is restful and relaxing!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Stuart
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 12 other donors.6th Grade Headphones!
Funded Feb 1, 2023Earlier this year you contributed to a project to fund headphones for the 6th grade classrooms at Hunter Elementary. I am sorry that it has taken this long for me to send you a proper letter of gratitude, but here we are.
First of all, thank you so much for contributing to this project, this community has shown up for me so many times but each time I am still so honored and humbled by the support, it truly means so much to me and my students.
The headphones were a HUGE hit, the students loved that they each has their own pair and didn't have to share with anyone, and I loved that they could all do work individually and be able to access videos, audiobooks, and other media. These headphones were also especially helpful to my students who receive extra learning support because they could have audio guides for different tests that other students don't receive, this really helped them perform of these assessments.
Thank you again, and apologies for the delayed letter, I hope you are all enjoying the summer!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Stuart
This classroom project was brought to life by A Philly Special Christmas and 5 other donors.A Comfy Classroom
Funded Jul 19, 2021Thank you so much for contributing to my classroom. My students have loved using the pillows and cushions every day. The decor has made my classroom a bright, safe, and colorful space for my students to enter every day.
The pillows and wobble cushions are used every day for flexible seating during our independent reading time. The students get to line up and pick out what they would like to use that day. It's gotten so popular that I needed a chart to make sure the kids take turns and everyone gets access!
The posters, borders, and laminator have improved the look and feel of my classroom immensely and my students love learning in there every day.
Thank you again for your kind and generous donations!”

Middle School Science Station
Funded Aug 22, 2020Thank you, thank you, thank you for your donations to my lab cart and supplies. This cart has been essential for delivering science instruction virtually.
My students and I have used the cart for a variety of experiments such as: Does air have mass? What happens when we combine baking soda and vinegar? Does popcorn pop bigger if it's wet? How fast do air molecules move? and many others. The most memorable day with the cart was our popcorn experiments where the students decided how to conduct an experiment testing if soaking water in popcorn made it pop larger (spoiler, it does!). They student loved being able to see the popcorn pop and I used the hot plate and scale to change water temperatures and make sure we measured equal amounts of popcorn kernels.
Here are some messages from my students:
Thank you for the lab cart, due to you we were able to do experiments and learn with a better experience -Aiden
