Individualized Instruction is Key to Success
Funded Jan 24, 2025I still cannot believe how lucky I am to have people support my students and me without knowing us. Your generosity has helped me find new exciting ways to motivate my students with new materials and paper for hands-on projects. My students will stay motivated and on task because they know they have tasks on their level to demonstrate their understanding of specific topics. My special education students will sit for the state exam and the Algebra 1 regents. Many students struggle and motivation is difficult. Keeping students on task and not giving up is essential. Having supplementary material on the spot with ink and paper is essential. I know my students will be successful because of you and your help.
The use of ink and paper in my classroom has enhanced my lessons because I am able to reach the needs of all my special education students. Your donation has helped me motivate my students by creating hands-on tasks where they can be individualized so every student can be successful. Thank you once again, you have made such a positive impact on my life. I hope to one day pay it forward and help other teachers that are in need of classroom essentials.”

Funded Oct 17, 2023I still cannot believe how lucky I am to have people support my students and me without knowing us. My students stay motivated and on task because they aren't hungry. My special education students will be sitting for the State Exam and the Algebra 1 regents. Many students struggle and motivation is difficult. I know them being hungry is one less thing I have to worry about.
Some students struggle to get to school on time. Other students don't have adequate supplies at home. When my students are hungry they find it difficult to focus on the lesson. They don't tend to participate in discussions or complete classwork. Now I can hand out a snack which enables them to get their focus back on the lesson.
Thank you once again, you have made such a positive impact on my life. I hope to one day pay it forward and help other teachers that are in need of classroom essentials.”

An Apple iPad Amplifies Student Success and Envolvement
Funded Feb 8, 2023I still cannot believe how lucky I am to have people support my students and me without knowing us. My students will stay motivated and on task because I can present information in a multitude of ways and I am not forced to stand in front of the board.
I now have the ability to share my screen and write on parts of the lesson to facilitate learning styles. I will be able to model problems, take pictures of the problems, and then post them on google classroom. Most importantly, I can show math processes, not just the answers. The versatility of an iPad is amazing in the classroom.
Another benefit of an iPad will be the ability to use my cricut with it. I was blessed with a cricut and have no way to download the software. I am dependent on my fellow teachers who let me use their iPad to make prizes and gifts for my students.
Thank you once again, you have made such a positive impact on my life. I hope to one day pay it forward and help other teachers that are in need of classroom essentials. The world of teaching has changed greatly since I first started and the generosity of kind individuals helps me continue educating students. It takes just a little pressure off the work I have to do and keeps me positive.”

The behavior in my classroom has improved immensely because students are excited to earn prizes. So far I have made each student a water bottle and notebook with their names. All my students got excited, and to watch them use the prizes I made for them warms my heart. I intend to continue to purchase prizes and reward my students for trying their best. Special education students can meet the same standards and goals as their regular education counterparts with extra supports. Now I am able to diversify my lessons and have all students motivated and participating because of you!

Funded Jun 21, 2022I still cannot believe how lucky I am to have people support my students and me without knowing us. Your generosity has helped me find new resources to supplement my lessons in order to reach the needs of all my special education students.
Your donation has helped me find remedial activities to help students who had a gap in their education for approximately two years. Special education students can meet the same standards and goals as their regular education counterparts with extra supports. Now I am able to diversify my lessons with fun activities because of you! I was and am able to purchase both online and paper activities to keep students on task and motivated.
To intensify this need to diversify, this is my first time teaching Algebra 1. I am preparing my students to take the regents for the first time in June. I know my students will be successful because of you and your help.
My students especially enjoy pixel art activities where they must solve a problem and if their answer is correct, a piece of a picture is filled in. When all answers are correct, they see the entire picture. They also enjoy puzzles and mazes based on various algebra 1 topics. Thank you once again, you have made such a positive impact on my life.”
