Indoor Rainy Day Florida Recesses
Funded Aug 31, 2022Thank you all so much for your donations. Because of your generosity, my students have been able to truly enjoy indoor recess AND Fun Friday.
The play-doh has been an absolute hit with my students and we almost always have to play rock-paper-scissors to see who gets to play Life because it is so popular! The pillows have been an added bonus to our daily schedule. Since we now have enough comfy pillows for everyone, during whole group and independent activities, my kiddos can sit all around the classroom comfortably.
This has been such a help to us for daily classroom use, not just indoor recess days. I am truly thankful for each and every one of your donations to my classroom.”

Wizards Classroom
Funded May 5, 2020My Harry Potter themed classroom was missing some of those truly Harry Potter feeling elements. Now, with your help, my kiddos have a magical experience every time they enter the classroom. From the hanging candles to the library bookcase tapestry, everything gives our classroom a more Hogwarts feel. The hanging candles, LED tiered candles, and the extra string lights allow me to turnoff our harsh florescent lighting and give my students a calmer setting in the classroom. The extra fluffy circle chair, little bookshelf, and the tapestry tie my entire reading area together and provides a cozy place for my kiddos to grow in their reading.”

Funded May 5, 2020This project allowed me to get some much needed supplies for my classroom. My students needed to come back to a fresh and clean classroom and the disinfectant spray and hand sanitizer really helped keep everyone nice and clean. We also were able to add some organization essentials, like the blue banker box. This keeps all my kiddos work nice, neat, and orderly. Now everything has a place! Along with these essentials, we also were able to add a cozy rug to our reading area. In such a crazy time, now my kiddos have a comfortable and safe place to feel almost back to normal. Thank you all so very much.”

Funded Jan 17, 2020First and foremost, thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom! My students and I are so thankful for all of you. The lamps and string lights in the classroom have allowed me to turn off the overhead fluorescent lights and has given my students a more calming atmosphere in which to do their work. The day I set up all the lights, my students told me the classroom looked like Hogwarts now and with my Harry Potter themed room that was perfect!
My students were most excited about the balance ball chairs at their center stations. They absolutely love sitting on them and working independently at their station. These type of chairs allow my students to be active and move around without disrupting others while still getting their work done.
I am so grateful for every single donation. The looks on my students' faces when everything was opened and set up was something I'll never forget.”

Funded Aug 24, 2019Thank you, again, for all of your generous donations! You would have though it was Christmas Day in my classroom when my students saw all the boxes we received. I never thought a simple pack of Sharpies would excite 8 and 9 year olds, but boy was I wrong! We opened each box together and I had them guess what they thought was inside each box - they were almost always correct with their guesswork!
My kids now have beautifully colored and laminated centers that they can use, move around, and manipulate during their reading block that they did not previously have. They are also able to actually write on the white board and have multiple examples going at one time - which has been greatly beneficial during our math block.
My kids cannot wait for their new center stations now that they can actually interact with the manipulatives and I'm so excited to see their love for learning grow and grow!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Cooper
