Building Bright Futures for Budding Readers
Funded Jan 12, 2025All I can say right now is WOW! You all have made our learning dreams come true. These supplies are going to motivate our students so much more! They already have such a fire to learn to read!! Just wait until I tell them all about the new activities we will be getting that they will be able to work with during center time to help learn how to retell stories, practice letter-sounds, phonemic awareness, and put their blending skills to the test! They are going to be blown away! Again, THANK YOU so much for supporting our class!”

Regulation Station Tools
Funded Mar 16, 2024I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation to my classroom project, which provided us with much-needed sensory and regulatory tools. Your contribution has had a profoundly positive impact on my students. These tools have made a world of difference in helping them to manage their emotions and stay engaged throughout the day. It is clear that this support has empowered my students to become the best learners they can be.
With these resources, my students now have more opportunities to regulate their energy and emotions in healthy ways. Whether it's using sensory toys to refocus or the sensory paths to redirect their energy in a positive way, these tools have become essential in creating a supportive learning environment. We are so grateful for your kindness and the lasting effect it will have on their educational journey.”

It’s All Fun and Games!
Funded Apr 8, 2022I cannot begin to express the impact your support had on my students! The materials you donated towards have given my students hands-on and engaging ways to learn, AND made it easier for me to plan and prep for each lesson. With your support, I was able to get ready-to-use alphabet and math activities that have saved me so much prep time and that my students absolutely love to play with! Well, they think they are playing, but really they are learning!! It has made each lesson so engaging and meaningful! I am so grateful for your support! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose community & an Anonymous Partner and one other donor.New Resources for the New Year!
Funded Aug 28, 2021I am so grateful for your generosity! Your donation has made it possible for me to implement exactly what I needed for my students this year! I have been able to purchase all of the curriculum I've needed to help my students be better learners and readers; your donation has meant that my students have not had to go without and I have not had to scramble to fill in lessons with mediocre material.
My students have loved the new Science of Reading curriculum I've purchased the most. I have seen tremendous growth in their blending, segmenting, phonics, and sounding out/writing words.
I cannot thank you enough for the impact that you have made on my students! Thank you!!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and 6 other donors.STEAM Station
Funded Apr 1, 2021The impact of your generosity in my classroom is nearly impossible to aptly put into words. My students have absolutely LOVED the STEM Station and the activities that YOU funded! Our STEM time is their absolute favorite time of the day. They have loved that many of the activities are themed with a fairytale story, so they have a personal connection to what they are doing and it has given them purpose and better understanding to complete the activity! For example, one of the activities is about building chairs for the three little bears. It was so neat to see their wheels turning, knowing that they needed to make the chairs differently for each bear because each bear was a different size! These resources are so developmentally friendly and helpful to teach young kids STEM concepts.
When my students first saw these activities, they were SO excited! They could not wait to try them out! They saw the familiar characters and knew the story lines, so they were ready to tackle the task! It didn't take them long to figure out how to help each character or use the activities, but they have really enjoyed finding other ways to complete the activities!
Since we have only made it through a few of the fairytale-themed activities so far this year, I am so excited to try out my bigger activities that have to do with magnets and motion. That will be our next unit, and I can't wait for the kids to have these activities to reinforce that learning!
This has been such a blessing in my class. I cannot thank you enough!!”

This classroom project was brought to life by T-Mobile and 3 other donors.Books for Little Scholars
Funded Nov 30, 2020I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have in my heart for your generosity. Being able to get books into my student's hands that they can actually read has been a huge turning point in their reading journeys. The books I received were beyond what I could have imagined; they are interesting and of high quality. My students are picking up on sight words and getting ample practice in sounding out words with these perfectly leveled books.
Because of your donation, I am able to send these books home with my kids to read with their families. Many of my students don't have books like these at home, so being able to send the books home has not only improved their reading ability but encouraged the support of their families.
One of my most avid learners, Wyat, is always so eager to get his hands on new books. He is picking up on his foundational reading skills so quickly that I'll have to find some higher leveled books soon!
Your donation will forever leave an impact in my students lives, as well as mine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
