  • Rainbows in Kinder

    Funded Aug 15, 2023

    Thank you so much!!! My students will be so excited to come to school for the first time in such a colorful welcoming space. I can't wait to get all of our new supplies organized and working to benefit all of our new Kindergarten students.

    Thank you again for donating!”

  • Kindergarteners Love Drawing & Writing

    Funded Sep 23, 2022

    These writing tablets are excellent. They are so perfect for practicing writing our letters. The students get so excited when we start to hand these out as they know they will have fun no matter what we are working on. Isn't that the best thing in education, when the students want to be learning?

    We also use these for math, the students write their equations and solve them. They can practice their numbers and draw out problems. Thank you so much for providing our students with such a fantastic resource!”

  • Keep Our Fidgeting Bodies Moving!

    Funded Jan 29, 2022

    The items I received for use in my classroom have been amazing. The spiral binder is so great, it works wonderfully and allows my students to have notebooks that will lay flat and easily fold behind.

    The rainbow cushions and stools not only provide comfortable seating options for my students but also brighten up the room.

    The fidgets are wonderful. So many students benefit from having something they can use to keep their hands busy. I'm so grateful for being able to use these wonderful supplies in my classroom.”

  • Help Us Explore the World Through Books!

    Funded Sep 13, 2021

    My students are absolutely loving our new books. They are so interested in the history they find in Nathan Hale's Hazardous tales and then want to learn more about the events. They read one after another of the Who Was series. It is so fun to have them come share interesting facts they have learned with me.

    We read about the Underground Railroad together as a class and the students were so invested in the story. Any time we hear or see any mention of Harriet Tubman the class gets so excited and can't wait to find out more.”

  • Who Was...?

    Funded Sep 30, 2020

    My students have absolutely loved reading the Who Was books! Thank you for broadening their knowledge of influential people in our history. Where Was books are also great, they particularly love the maps that are included in the books.

    This year, I read What Were the Twin Towers to my class. It was so powerful with the 20th anniversary of 9/11 just around the corner. I was happy to be able to have such a meaningful discussion with my class regarding a critical event in our history. This also ties into the current events in Afghanistan.”

  • Help Us Get Organized

    Funded Nov 15, 2019

    Thank you so much for the fidget toys, my students were so excited each time I introduced them to a new one! They are such a big help when it comes to keeping them quiet and engaged.

    The group hanging chart allowed me to provide easy access to the supplies that different groups needed during centers, and was a great help!

    Moving to online school has proved a challenge, which some students have more than risen to! They have attended online classes, recorded videos of themselves, completed online assignments and so much more. I can't wait to be in a physical classroom with students again and be able to utilize these tools once again.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Gourley

I have tried several methods for small groups, with varied success. Looking forward to having the requested ready made organizational chart that will allow me to easily assign tasks/activities according to the wide variety of levels in my classroom. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given fidget toys to help keep them engaged. These supplies along with the numeric keypads and the organizational chart for math will increase our effectiveness in the classroom, and make it easier to engage the students. Thank you for helping us to reach our classroom improvement goals.
