  • Resources for Future Success

    Funded Oct 6, 2024

    I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donations to this project. The books you provided have been a tremendous hit with my students. They eagerly look forward to their daily reading time, which has significantly helped them improve their reading skills and build their reading stamina.

    Additionally, the cart bookshelves you donated have been incredibly handy and useful. They make organizing and accessing the books so much easier, creating a more efficient and enjoyable reading environment for the students.

    The Life Skills book I requested has also been a fantastic resource. It offers a variety of activities and lessons that have greatly benefited my students, providing them with essential skills and knowledge that they can apply in their daily lives.

    Thank you once again for your kindness and support. Your contributions have made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and we are deeply appreciative.”

  • Optimizing Instruction with Binder Organization

    Funded Aug 1, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. These binders are truly very helpful. My students' IEPs look great because their binders are in uniform color and size. All necessary documents are well-contained in the 3-inch 3-ring binders. The 2-inch 3 ring binders are used for my students' IEP goals. Their progress is easily monitored because their works are kept together in one place. Additionally, thank you for those stamps. My students are happy seeing positive feedback for their work. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. May you continue to be blessed in many ways in return.”

  • We Love Colors!

    Funded Jul 16, 2024

    Colored printer is really a classroom necessity nowadays. We are blessed to have been provided with this tool in class. However, this also requires continued supply of toner so that it continues to serve its purpose. Thankfully, you were there to help us with this. Without you, we will not be able to produce quality printed materials like our visual schedule, classroom expectation, focus wall information, task cards, and so many more.

    Thank you so much for your generosity. May you continue to support teachers and students in public-school classrooms like ours. May you be blessed in many ways in return.”

  • Power Up Mighty Chargers!

    Funded Sep 12, 2024

    This is to thank you for all the support you have extended to our classroom. These materials that you provided are must-haves because they are used and needed on a daily basis. Because of you, our sensory lights are up and shinning, our devices are charged up and running, and our food are warm and nourishing. The batteries, the power strips, and the microwave oven you donated are life savers. Thank you for easing our burden and making teaching and learning less challenging. With your continued support, we all can go through the school year with strength and confidence. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. May you be blessed in many ways in return.”

  • Putting Small Pieces Together

    Funded Jul 16, 2024

    Thank you very much for making this project happen. These jigsaw puzzles are very meaningful addition to our classroom. During my students' free time, they are able to keep themselves busy by playing with a variety of puzzles made available by generous donors like you. Each of them demonstrates persistence and focus in putting the small pieces together. They are also made to share not only the strategies they used in successfully completing the puzzles but also the lessons that they learned from working on it. Know that we really do appreciate your support. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.”

  • Treats for the Teachable

    Funded Jul 16, 2024

    Thank you so much for the snacks that you donated to my students. They truly enjoyed their treats. It was a joy to see them inspired with what they do because of the incentives that we gave them. My students have demonstrated maximum participation in all activities knowing they will get some treats, too. Additionally, because of you, they were given access to clean bottled water as well. Please continue to support us with our endeavors. One way is to provide our scholars with their favorite treats so that they will continue to be inspired doing good works. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. More power to you.”

  • Our Daily Classroom Helpers

    Funded Jun 4, 2024

    A huge thank you to all of you who supported our classroom with essential items. We just concluded our lessons on variables and expressions and my class was very successful because of the calculators you donated. They will be introduced to measurements next, and they will be equally successful because of the rulers you donated as well. All the supplies are very valuable. My students amazed me with their understanding of Algebra despite of their different disabilities. Truly, if we provide the tools that they need, our scholars will have a meaningful learning experience. Thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts. May you continue to support public classrooms like ours. More power to you all.”

  • How Much Does It Cost?

    Funded Dec 30, 2023

    We would like to thank you for all the donations you gave to our classroom. With the velcro dots, I was able to create multiple task cards for my students to use. The phony register is being used for our classroom store where students collect points, exchange those points for fake money, and use them to buy real snacks of their choice. The money flashcards are being used for daily reviews and drills in their math and life skills classes. Please know that all these materials are being used meaningfully and productively. We thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.”

  • Healthy Practice, Healthy Self

    Funded Jun 27, 2023

    We are very grateful and honored to be supported by warmhearted people like you. These requested materials are often lacking in most classrooms due to insufficient funds; but not having them inside the classroom is depriving our precious students with many benefits. With the bathroom weighing scale and the height measurement chart, I can teach my students to watch their weight, their height, and compute their BMI. I can better attend to my students needs when they have minor injuries because we have a first aid kit. Likewise, I can teach my students to observe cleanliness because we have Kleenex tissue and disinfectant wipes. Thank you all so much for making them available and accessible in our classroom. May you be blessed in many ways in return.”

  • Not Just Functional But Inspirational

    Funded May 31, 2023

    It is a great joy and honor to be supported by donors like you. We are very appreciative of all the classroom supplies we received. The basket organizers are used to keep sensory toys and math manipulatives. The file organizers are used to hold students' notebooks so that they are neatly kept and easily located. The classroom printer is once again up and working because you supplied us with the needed toner. Our classroom is serving its purpose-a functional learning environment because of the essentials like pencils, hole puncher, and posters that you made available for our eager students. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for all these benefits. May you be blessed in many ways in return.”

Virtual learning has brought new challenges to education. Students learning from home, for example, may have difficulty finding a space that is really conducive to studying. Movements around the house as well as noises can easily distract them. These headphones will enable them to focus on listening to the teacher during virtual instruction and listening to a read-aloud text with fewer distractions from the surrounding environment. Most of my students are easily frustrated because they struggle with reading stories and passages by themselves. These headphones will serve as a bridge to learning and engagement. It will be surprising to see students' potential unlocked.
