• Setting the Foundation for Our Kinder Scholars

  Funded Sep 9, 2024

  I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our classroom. Thanks to your contributions, my students and I have been able to integrate our new resources into daily lessons, enhancing our learning environment and inspiring creativity in ways that have transformed our class. Since receiving these materials, my students have eagerly engaged with them in every way. We recently used our new Whiteboards for a hands-on project that allowed the students to apply the skills they've been learning!

  When my students first saw the new materials, their faces were a mix of pure joy and disbelief. They couldn't believe these items were for them to use, explore, and learn with. For many of my students, having access to this quality of equipment was entirely new, and their enthusiasm and gratitude were clear in every word and action as they began exploring the resources.

  Thanks to your donation, our classroom has become more dynamic, engaging, and interactive. Each day, I see new sparks of discovery and understanding that are only possible because of your support. In addition to this project, I'm planning future lessons that will continue to use these resources in ways that encourage independent thinking and problem-solving. This donation has made it possible to envision these projects in a way I couldn't before, and my students' curiosity is already growing as they think about what they'll explore next.

  Thank you once again for your generosity, and for investing in the futures of my students. Your support has made a meaningful difference in our classroom and has opened up new possibilities for all of us. Please know that you are welcome to follow along as we continue our learning journey, and that you are part of our classroom family.”

• Help Fifth-Graders Be In-Person Ready!

  Funded Sep 23, 2021

  I wanted to once again express my gratitude for helping me provide the resources my students need to thrive! The individual chargers has allowed my students to work with their Chromebooks daily. From using virtual manipulatives during Math to search engines for research, my students have had opportunities to expand their learning in ways they have not been able to before!

  Additionally, the water bottles have helped them tremendously throughout the day. They have been an extra benefit during PE, seeing as they are getting tested in this subject for the first time. A million thanks once again!”

• Powered for Hybrid Learning

  Funded May 5, 2021

  My students were beyond thrilled when this project got funded! Many of them had either lost or broken their chargers and could only charge their iPads when they were in the classroom. For some odd reason, the original materials requested were no longer available. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise since I was able to find cheaper portable chargers which allowed me to get charging cables AND pens that work for their iPads. This has helped my students TREMENDOUSLY when they are working with our Computer class teacher! These materials have helped my little ones navigate the iPads. A thousand thank yous!”

• Disinfecting Classroom Supplies

  Funded May 4, 2021

  Thanks to you my student's have been very organized and have not mixed or lost their materials. Additionally, I have been able to easily disinfect their objects with ease so each student is safe! My students were very excited when they saw the face shields and are super grateful that they can take a break from their masks when needed and not put another classmate at risk. The book bins have been used as their recess bins where they can take their "toys" and any snacks with ease. They also say thank you every time they can disinfect their hand with their own hand sanitizers after they come back from recess.”

• Safe Return to the Classroom

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  I wanted to thank you all again for helping me provide a safe transition for my students! They are super excited to come back and love the idea of having their own space! They love how colorful the classroom is and it has helped them not only keep their distance, but know which way to walk to minimize the possibility of spreading germs with each other. The hula hoops will help them keep their distance as they are walking in line to go from the classroom to recess. I cannot thank you all enough! My students wanted to give their thanks as well (:”

• Distance Learning Essentials

  Funded Sep 21, 2020

  I cannot thank you enough for helping me provide headphones and blue-light glasses for my students to use at home! Participation has gone up TREMENDOUSLY now that the students can tune out the noise around their house. It is also MUCH easier for me to understand them with the microphone on the headphones which makes for a much smoother lesson! The blue-light glasses have made a great impact on my students, helping them begin to think of how to take care of themselves. One of my students has eye problems and has gotten surgery, these glasses have helped her so much! I am forever grateful for your generosity!”

  I am beyond grateful for your help in providing age-appropriate materials for my students! They will be super excited to see the brand-new headphones in the classroom and even more excited to know they each get their own pair! It's a wonderful way to start the new year!”
