  • Organization At Its Best

    Funded May 10, 2024

    It can be very difficult to organize your own supplies and things within a classroom. And then you add all of the students! It can be very tricky. We are also moving to a new school next year and I was hoping to find different organization furniture to set up the classroom right!

    I am so excited about the storage cubes I have received. I cannot wait for each student to have a space to put their things.

    I am so excited for new dividers for testing. I have had the same ones for a very long time now and let's just say, they have seen better days!

    I cannot wait to get into our new school and set up everything right! Thank you so much for making it possible!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McNeel

  • It’s Almost the End

    Funded May 8, 2024

    Do you know how hard it is to teach each day without a pencil sharpener? I was so so excited to have this project funded and receive this new AWESOME pencil sharpener! We were so excited not to have to walk next door and use the teachers next door. My students couldn't believe how cool this new sharpener was.

    When I was younger, so many of my friends had a Tamagotchi. It was the coolest digital keychain toy. For most of the year, my students have teased me about having a class pet, which to their dismay, I always said no. I was so excited to give them this toy pet and we had a good laugh about this being our class pet!

    And the speaker! Oh the speaker I have been wanting for too long. It is such a perfect addition to the classroom and now our dance parties are epic!

    Thank you so much for your support and kindness!”

  • Finish Strong

    Funded Apr 26, 2024

    At the end of each year, time and money becomes very tight. It gets tricky to do all of my end of year activities and have what I want to send off with my students for summer. I was so grateful when this project funded!

    I was so excited to send my students home with a notebook to use as their summer journal. My students were thrilled to have this cute little notebook to continue their writing.

    I was also very grateful to receive cardstock for end of year crafts and laminating sheets to finish off the games for my students to enjoy the last week of school.

    I felt so fortunate to receive the items I needed to finish the year strong! Thank you so much!”

  • Culture of Belonging

    Funded May 15, 2024

    In January I attended the Ron Clark Academy for the first time. I was completely blown away by the school that Ron Clark and Kim Bearden had created. I was blown away by the positivity, hard work and feeling of belonging! The one thing that stood out to me was the house system they had implemented.

    The faculty, students, and parents had completely embraced the house system. Students wore matching shirts, socks, and there were flags hanging in the hall and each teacher held students to a high expectation and points were given if the expectation was met. This system was incredible to me. I wanted to implement into my classroom as soon as possible.

    Thank you so much for donating to this project and giving my classroom these flags. I know this will create a culture of belonging .THANK YOU!”

  • Don't Forget to Read

    Funded Apr 28, 2024

    Thank you so much for donating to this project! We have read and loved the first two books in this series. We were thrilled to learn about Molly and her adventures in the magical land behind the lighthouse door.

    I was so excited to be able to gift this book to my students on the last day of school. Each student opened a gift bag with some small toys/candy and this book inside! I had students screaming and others running up to hug me because they couldn't wait to read the new saga in this series.

    Thank you so much for making my students dreams come true. I am hoping they find joy in this book this summer!”

  • Love to Read

    Funded Apr 17, 2024

    My third graders love to read! I have been lucky and established a nice size classroom library over the years. However, there are always new books coming out and students get excited about new authors or popular new series.

    I was so excited to get this project funded and to be able to add more books to my library. The students, believe it or not, were most excited about all of the Elephant and Piggie books. They were thrilled to get their hands on each story and read along with these silly characters.

    I love to be able to share with my students new books and have them find new stories to read. Thank you so much for contributing to my classroom and adding new titles for my students to love!”

  • Working Hard to Improve

    Funded Mar 13, 2024

    This project felt so personal to me. I received the boxes with so many books I have been looking forward to read. I was so excite to unbox the books by some of my favorite and admired teachers.

    I have already read through 3 books from Ron Clark and Kim Bearden. They are incredible educators who have inspired so many teachers, including me! I feel so lucky to have their books. They inspire me to improve, overcome hard things, and work hard at being a teacher!

    I am thrilled about the classroom management books. As a teacher I am always searching for new ways to manage and keep my class in line while they learn and grow!

    Thank you so much for your support of my professional development!”

  • Snacks for Energy

    Funded Jan 18, 2024

    Teaching is a wonderful profession! I love spending my time with third graders and watching them learn and grow throughout our school year together. I have seen what amazing kiddoes they are! And boy do they get hungry?!

    I am so blessed to be able to have a snack cart in my classroom that I can provide snacks for the stduents at least once a day. Snack time is a short ten minute window where we relax and refuel our bodies. The students look forward to it knowing they have something to eat at a certain time of the day.

    I also love being able to provide students with something if they are hungry at a different time in the day. An empty, growling stomach is no way to learn. And donors like you help me provide for my students! Thank you so much for your generosity!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McNeel

  • What's next for Molly?

    Funded Jan 18, 2024

    I love to support local. And when I met a local author of a children's series, I knew I had to support her and bring the book to my classroom. I was able to give each of my students the first book in the "Into the lighthouse" series at the beginning of the year. My students instantly fell in love with Molly and the magical world she escaped to through the lighthouse. The book gave us opportunities to read together and to discuss fantasy. I was really hoping that we could at least read the next book in the series this year.

    You made it possible for us to read it! Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and my students. They were so excited to get the next book. As soon as we started reading, we couldn't stop! They wanted to read another chapter and another. Thank you so much for your generosity!”

    Mrs. McNeel

  • A Special Chair

    Funded Nov 27, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and funding this project! I thought this chair would be exciting for my students for show and tell and book reporting. But wow! It has been more than I thought it would be.

    My students absolutely love getting the chance to sit in the chair. They love sitting in it. They get excited to share whatever they have to share by being in the special chair. It makes them feel special and important. They have confidence to share what they need to while they sit in it.

    Thank you so much for making this come true for me and for my students!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McNeel

We're getting excited to finally go back to school! In planning our comeback, I've decided each student needs their own pencil box, box of crayons and water bottle to stay clean and safe. We'll also be able to read about recycling and sanitize and reuse water bottles and pencil boxes. We'll be using the pencil boxes on top of each students desk to hold their own belongings. I'm so excited to be back in the classroom and helping my students learn, despite the uncertainties during coronavirus. We are ready for it!
