  • Bright Futures Begin Here: Support Our Classroom!

    Funded Jan 22, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous donation and interest in supporting our classroom! I’m thrilled to share that our project has been fully funded, and the supplies will be arriving soon.

    Your kindness and support mean the world to my students and me. These materials will make a positive impact on their learning experience and help create a classroom environment filled with curiosity and growth.

    Thank you again for making a difference in our little learners' lives. We can’t wait to share all the amazing things we’ll achieve with your help!”

  • Essential iPad Charging Station for Student Learning Success

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for your incredible generosity! The technology devices and chargers you donated have truly transformed our classroom and the way my students learn every day.

    In our kindergarten classroom, technology is not just a tool but a gateway to exploration, creativity, and individualized learning. The new devices allow my students to engage in interactive lessons tailored to their needs, providing activities that strengthen foundational skills like reading, math, and problem-solving. For example, they've been using educational apps to practice letter sounds and counting, which adapt to their progress and help them feel successful.

    The most exciting part for the students is how these devices make learning fun and hands-on. They love using touchscreens to create art, play learning games, and explore virtual storybooks. One student recently exclaimed, "It feels like we have magic computers!" Their faces light up when they realize they can interact with the technology to make things happen.

    Your support has opened up new opportunities for our students and has given them tools to explore the world in ways that were previously out of reach. We are so grateful for your kindness and investment in their futures.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Duran

  • Small Group Support in K103

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your donations to our classroom. Your generosity has made a significant impact on both me and the students, and I cannot thank you enough.

    With your donations I was able to purchase leveled nonfiction books, writing resources, phonics resources and a kidney table for small group instruction.

    Your thoughtfulness and support have made a lasting impact on our classroom, and I am confident that the benefits will be felt by all my students for years to come.”

  • Readers, Writers, and Mathematicians!

    Funded Feb 15, 2022

    Given your support, I was able to get my entire wishlist fulfilled. In fact, thanks to all your donations, the original budget doubled in funding which allowed me to shop for more resources and materials. We were all so excited when we started receiving the materials; The shipments kept pouring into our classroom and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for all your donations. One of our favorite items that we received is called our "counting boxes" math center. This is a fun, hands on activity-filled box that has a set of ten counting games. The best part is that each set has a different theme. Some of the themes include treasure chest, candy, under the sea and insects! The students love using this center because of the fun manipulatives and themes. Aside from the math centers we also received many literacy resources. Our literacy centers include books, puzzles, magnetic letters and dry erase mats. All of these wonderful donations have made a significant difference in their learning and I am so grateful!”

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time. With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level. They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
