• Treasure Chest Prizes

  Funded May 14, 2024

  P.B.I.S stands for Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support. This system helps to improve the behavior of students school-wide. It has been proven to not only improve their behavior, but, also their academics and social skills.

  In my classroom I have been able to reward and recognize those students with positive behavior in and out of the classroom.

  The variety of toys listed such as fidget toys and squishies have been so popular within kindergarten. Thanks to your donations, I was able to restock my treasure chest to continue to support our school P.B.I.S program within my class.

  Having a treasure chest also encourages and motivate students to participate more in the classroom. This ranges from trying their best on any assignment, supporting their peers, and simply answering questions in class.”

• Starting The Year In Kindergarten

  Funded May 11, 2024

  Thanks to your donations: our class can practice writing our letters numbers, solving math problems, drawing shapes and other pictures. Play-doh is always a favorite in a Kindergarten classroom and we use it often. Play-doh will be used in many creative ways to spark excitement in learning. There are many art projects that take place throughout the days in our classroom so we need googly eyes. As I prepare materials to start the year I will use pencil toppers as rewards. I also like to acknowledge every child's birthday with a special birthday bracelet, which they usually love. The suitcase is to organize and bring to school all my teaching resources.”

• Eat Healthy, Be Healthy! School Garden!

  Funded Apr 30, 2024

  Thanks to your donations: My students now can use the step stool to present the information to the class about our projects about planting. Everything they need to know is available in the books. Putting books in the students' hands will allow them to be responsible for their own research. They will focus on health and how food impacts our health, what is best to grow in our region and how to care for a garden.

  The step stool will allow them to address the students as each group of students will present their projects to the rest of the class.

  Students will discover how they are capable of impacting their world.”

• Help Us Grow With Our Outdoor Learning Center

  Funded Apr 9, 2024

  Thanks to your donations: we will use our outdoor learning center for our children to incorporate into all aspects of their academics -- including writing, reading, science, math, and social studies -- as well as to nurture social-emotional health.

  Time in the garden will teach my students about team building and promote communication skills. We will plan a garden, plant the seeds and watch them grow, which will give kids a sense of purpose and responsibility. Students will make sure that the plants get enough fertilizer, water, and sun fosters mindfulness.

  Gardening teaches a lot of emotional development as they learn about failure and disappointment as well as success. The students will also learn about the plant's needs which helps them learn about other living things needs. Learning to take care of a living thing has untold benefits.

  Through professional development, I will be able to acquire new teaching strategies to benefits my students at out outdoor learning lab by providing effective lessons that will ensure their growth.”

• Mrs. Shannon's Kindness Counts Project

  Funded Oct 17, 2023

  Thanks to your donations: my 28 students have received all these engaging math manipulatives. These awesome hands-on manipulatives have helped my students to have a better opportunity to have more hands-on learning activities. Students have been able to grasp more and remember more math concepts by using the magnetic tens frames, math educational games, and base ten blocks and disks. These hands-on activities have made our math lessons be more fun and enjoyable. The SEL books that I have requested, has helped us build strong, prideful character. We have been able to practice building prideful skills/characters daily in my students.

  Thank you so much for supporting teachers!!”
