• Diverse STEM Books

  Funded May 15, 2021

  Thank you so much for donating books to add to our library. The books have been well received and inspiring for the students.

  Representation is important in storybooks for students. The books purchased feature mathematicians, scientists, architects, environmentalists, engineers, etc.

  These books can be used to read for independent reading, read alouds, mentor texts, and everything else in between!

  Thank you for encouraging reading amongst young students, especially when school libraries are either nonexistent or underfunded.

  Thank you again.”

• Hero Puppets

  Funded Apr 7, 2021

  Thank you for your selfless donations! It takes a village to raise our students and you have all stepped up!

  The students are currently working on their biographies of their 'people who have made a difference'. We should finish up the writing process this upcoming week.

  Students have been planning how they will build their puppets! They have chosen some important people who represent various religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds.

  I am excited to see how they utilize the materials to create the important people like MLK, Walt Disney, Malala, Anne Frank, and Sacagewa.

  Stay tuned for the finished product!”

• Making STEM Accessible to All

  Funded Apr 16, 2021

  Thank you so much for your donations towards the STEM games. These resources have been an instant hit with my students. As soon as I unpacked the boxes the students were hollering with delight and requesting certain games.

  It's also amazing to watch them work together while solving, constructing, and building.

  We have incorporated STEM centers into our short 3 hour day. This is the favorite part of the day for the majority of the students.

  I also want to thank the if/then foundation for making this project possible!”

• Cricut Machine = Design & Tech

  Funded Mar 12, 2021

  Thank you so much for donating to our design and tech (Cricut) product! The students and I will love exploring all the features of the Cricut. I have already tested it out by cutting bulletin board fonts for our walls.

  I would like to have the students use and design the Cricut to help build classroom community. An idea I have is to create a class slogan or hashtag and have the kids design a t-shirt of it!

  I can't wait to explore all the features with my students and really blend science and the arts together.

  Thank you for your generosity.”

• Inclusive Books

  Funded Mar 5, 2021

  I can't thank you enough for your generous and selfless donations towards my classroom library.

  I'm very excited for the students to return on campus in the coming days. We have a fully stocked library that now includes books where my students can see themselves as the main characters.

  When the boxes arrived I felt like a kid on Christmas morning ready to open the box!

  You also purchased skin-colored crayons and skin-colored construction paper! We will work on self-portraits in the coming weeks.

  I can't thank you enough for helping my classroom.”

• The Gift of Organization

  Funded Mar 2, 2021

  Thank you so much for helping a first year teacher out! My classroom was looking so messy at the front because I had all my stuff in a ziplock bag. Now all the things have a home! Thank you so much for helping me organize the front of the room!

  I felt like a kid on Christmas when all the boxes arrived. Everyone was trying to figure out what it was. I loved that moment. The students will be welcomed back in the coming weeks and I'm so excited for them to see our space.

  I really appreciate your selfless generosity.”

• Book Bins Needed!

  Funded Nov 30, 2020

  We can't thank you enough for helping us get organized and supporting reading.

  The students have enjoyed helping me separate the books to determine what category books should be put in - for example, the enthusiasm of them recognizing space or animals as a theme. Having the students involved in the organization of the books that will go into your bins has been a learning moment in itself.

  Our class looks much neater now that books have their bins and students are learning how real libraries are organized.

  Thank you again.”

• Interactive Notebook Fun!

  Funded Oct 17, 2020

  Thank you so much for providing our classroom with the spiral bound notebooks and the TpT gift cards! The students have absolutely loved being able to cut, glue, and write the materials we are learning.

  There are gaps in the curriculum and because of your generous donation, I was able to purchase three units to help my students. I purchased year-long curriculums for math, grammar, and science. The students especially loved the science because they were able to go outside and utilize what's around them.

  Thank you again,”
