• Help Me Reward My Students for Their Good Behavior!

  Funded Dec 1, 2021

  I appreciate your generosity more than you know! This has been a tough year but the positive reinforcement with the students has gone a long way. They always look forward to fun Fridays when they earn them, and when these new prizes come in they’re going to be SO excited and work that much harder for it!”

• Help Students Keep Their Brains Full by Filling Their Bellies!

  Funded Oct 15, 2021

  Thank you so much for helping me help my kids learn to the best of their ability. Putting food in their stomachs while their hungry helps their learning more than you can imagine. These snacks will really help with the second half of our day by helping them get their minds ready for math before we go to lunch. Thank you SO MUCH!!!”

• Bring Arts Into the Classroom With a Cricut

  Funded Aug 31, 2021

  Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! This Cricut is going to help bring some of my students work to life and help us really get our artistic juices flowing this year! The first thing I’m going to do is make some class T-shirts, so excited to start this year as a family! I appreciate this more than you know.”

• Let Literature Show Diversity!

  Funded Jun 4, 2020

  These books made a world of difference this last school year! With so many things going on, the kids found such solace in listening to books with children that look like them. Although they weren't able to hold these books themselves seeing as we were virtual last school year, it was touching to see how in tune they were by looking at the pages so closely and I presented them on the screen while I read. The different books sparked many conversations between my students, even simply about the clothes the characters were wearing. Thank you so much for continuing to help me build a library that shows diversity and reaches all students.”

• Help Me Give My Students Gifts for the Holidays!

  Funded Nov 16, 2020

  I am beyond grateful for your generosity. This year has been so tough for my kids and classroom community as a whole. The holiday time can bring a lot of different emotions to these babies and these gifts will bring a smile to their faces. It will help build our classroom community as well!”

• Help My Students Hear Their Online Lessons!

  Funded Jul 23, 2020

  Many of my students live in a home with a LOT of kids all around them. They're trying to pay attention to school and at the same time take care of their family. Whenever they unmute themselves you hear a lot going on in the background!

  These headphones have been a life saver! They have allowed the students to focus in an environment where they would not be able to without them. The students can HEAR the lessons and it also allows me to hear them better as well with the built in microphones! I cannot thank you enough for your support for my babies. ♥️”

• Give My Students a Doc Cam to Aid Distance Learning!

  Funded Jul 27, 2020

  At the beginning of the school year, the students were given workbooks and different things that we would be working on during the year. There had been a large disconnect by not being able to give examples to students on what they should be doing. This document camera has been a game changer for distance learning! It's so difficult for the students to see any papers you are working on online through the webcam. This document camera not only shows them what they see on their paper, but allows me to SHOW them exactly what I am asking from them! I could not be more grateful for the funding of this document camera, it makes distance learning easier for us.”

• Help My Class Bind Together!

  Funded Sep 15, 2020

  I appreciate your generosity more than you could possibly know! These unprecedented times have brought such a whirlwind of emotions but everybody is PUSHING and will continue to do their best. Your help in completing this project will give the students a chance to be proud of and feel ownership of their work, which means everything with them being in such a disconnected environment.”

• Help My Student Socially Distance While Staying Organized!

  Funded Aug 25, 2020

  Words cannot describe how appreciative I am of your generosity. These are very trying times trying to get everything together before the school year, but your generous donations are making it easier for everyone involved. This will not only help my students stay organized during distance learning, but we will also be able to use these tools when we get to all be together in the classroom again.”

• Give My Students Enjoyable Online Lessons!

  Funded Aug 11, 2020

  These Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will change everything for my students! Distance learning will already be extremely challenging in many ways; Student engagement will just add another layer to it. These distance learning lessons will not only help improve student engagement, but will also allow them to have fun- maybe not even realize that they're still learning 😉.

  I've purchased a math bundle with games and practice to cover every math unit this year. I've also gotten a few start of the year activities that will help create excitement and establish classroom community to start the year off! Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity. ♥️”
