  • Printer, Printer, Print All About It!

    Funded Dec 13, 2024

    Your donations have allowed us to print on the fly! It has helped us as teachers get ready for the day and print as we go along and supplement when needed within our lessons. Students have benefitted from our new classroom printer by having pictures printed in color, rather than black and white.

    When we need copies but do not have time to leave the room, we are now able to make our own copies in the classroom rather than having to ask someone to do it for us or waiting on the copy room to complete the task. When a student needs a copy because we are short or they have made a mistake we can do it immediately. For those students that benefit from looking at pictures in color, we are now able to print in color. It can be done within our room!

    The students are not losing learning time as both of their teachers are within the classroom, printing away when needed and that is a HUGE benefit to all aspects of the classroom. Your impact on the classroom has been so rewarding to both the teachers and the students. You are truly an inspiration to us, and we cannot thank you enough. We hope to work with you again in the future!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Symons

  • Teachers Helping Teachers

    Funded Jun 3, 2024

    It is with great and humble appreciation that you have impacted not only one teacher but multiple teacher with your donation. The teachers that are purchasing these activities will be able to put more time into their lessons and less time worry about supplementing them. The teacher that are trying to supplement their income will worry less about how to support their families and be able to spend more time being present with them. But this is not only about the teachers. Many students will benefit from a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card as well.

    The students in these class and many times in the grade levels will receive supplemental work, many times, fun class activities that they will be able to work with and create in their classrooms. These activities will show them unconventional ways to learn without just paper and pencil. These can be any thing from cutting and pasting to more hands on and technology supplements.

    Supporting teachers in their professional development and providing them with resources can have a meaningful impact on both their teaching and their students' learning experiences. It's great to see such support for educators!”

  • Headphones for Hearing

    Funded Jan 19, 2024

    With your donations we will now be able to use our headphones to help with some of our literacy programs on our ipads. These headphones will help us speak with our programs to interact with them and work on our reading skills. The microphones with the headphones are key when it comes to these programs. The students will not only be able to use them to interact but also we will be able to listen to our stories when we use reading and math programs. The students will benefit from these and we vow to take good care of them so that the next year's students will also be able to use these. Thank you for your generous donation.”

  • Daily Classroom Needs

    Funded Jan 19, 2024

    Thank you for your donation to our classroom. With your donation, we are able to enter into a linen smelling classroom that is fresh enough for us to work in. We are able to complete our work throughout the day with the dry erase markers and erase what we need to when we make mistakes or are done with the work. We use these dry erase markers in all areas of our class, including phonics, math, social emotional learning and literacy. Our laminating will also assist us with our centers in math and literacy.. We will be able to use these centers for years to come with the lamination on the papers.

    It is an honor to be chosen for this donation.”

  • Perfect Paper!

    Funded Jan 19, 2024

    It is with a great amount of gratitude that you have chosen to donate to our classroom. Paper is something that we can take for "granted" thinking we can find it at any time. In a classroom though it is a different story. It is so hard to come across paper in a school building this time of year, when it is desperately needed. As teachers we end up having to buy many of our own supplies and this can become a burden.

    This year thought we are honored to be able to get more paper and be able to print out many of our worksheets and papers in the classroom. Not only will the students have fresh worksheets, but they will also be able to use the paper for drawing on their own. The bright assorted paper will also bring color into our classroom and hallways with the teacher being able to print out bulletin board letters and other accents to our class and building. Thank you again for your generous donation.”

  • Teachers Helping Teachers

    Funded Jan 4, 2024

    With this donation, we have been able to purchase materials that pertain to our learning experience. We have purchased worksheets, center activities and holiday crafts. It has also supplemented other teachers in their work as they are the ones that are creating these materials that are being shared on the market.

    The students can be fully engaged in our lessons as well as learn in different ways. With the gift card there are many lessons and creative worksheets that we are able to experience. Without your assistance it can be a struggle to complete many tasks and have to purchase so much.

    The students in many of these classes are lucky to have your support! We thank you again and cannot wait to continue working with you in the fututre!”

During learning students should be comfortable and warm giving them a chance to focus on a lesson or just a laid back read aloud. When entering the room the rug is always the focus area and with bright colors, the students will enjoy gathering to listen and share their thoughts daily. The floor is too cold for anyone and with a nice new rug they will be relaxed for their day ahead. Many of these students don't have that comfort in their daily lives. They at the very least should receive it at school, where they will always know they are safe and warm. This will help them understand the importance of their educational career.
