  • Strong Finish

    Funded May 11, 2023

    Thank you for being so supportive. I am so ecstatic my project just got funded. Students and I will greatly appreciate the items listed.

    We look forward to using these items to end the year, but also they will be a great start for next year. Thanks for all you do for teachers to ensure we have the necessary items to ensure scholars' success.”

  • Math Manipulatives Galore

    Funded Sep 20, 2022

    This year has been fantastic because of your generous donation to my math manipulatives galore project. The students were about to have hands-on experiences that made a massive difference in how they solved problems.

    This year, with all the manipulatives, students could decide which strategy to use. For example, when solving a problem, some students used ten frames, some the number line, and some counters. I let the students decide what strategy they wanted to use. It made a huge difference. Students were more excited to learn when they chose their own methods.

    Thank you for giving students for years to come to this opportunity to be successful.”

  • Our Planet Earth

    Funded May 4, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donation. Because of you, scholars will be able to learn new things about our planet through books, puzzles, and other hands on materials like a globe. These things will ensure students get a head start on how they solar system works while learning to read with decodable books.”

  • Our Learning Spot

    Funded Sep 20, 2022

    First, I would like to thank you for your wonderful donation. The learning spot project was created to ensure all students in my class get the extra attention they need by being in close proximity. By now, using the rug in our everyday routine has tremendously changed how we do large groups on the floor. Students no longer have to sit on the cold floor when we have large group time. Now the student can sit comfortably on the floor. The most significant impact has been when we are doing FUNdations. The students can now see up close the mouth movements of each sound. Thanks for keeping us in mind.”

  • Learning Boosters

    Funded Feb 10, 2022

    Thank you for everything you have done to make my project get funded. The impact has been a tremendous addition to our curriculum. Learning boosters have helped by saving prepping time, engaging students, and learning.

    Prepping time was cut in half while using learning boosters. Since prepping time was cut in half, I now have time to prepare other parts of my lessons.

    Students are engaged now more in centers. The activities provided in the package were age-appropriate, engaging, and educational.”

  • Protection Hero

    Funded Aug 23, 2021

    Protection Hero was a huge success this year, thanks to you. Students were able to work in groups and complete assignments while feeling safe.

    Working in groups was a big hit since the students could now work together and feel safe. No more worrying about whether or not someone is not properly wearing their mask. The shields added that extra protection, so there was less worry. Completing assignments was not an issue either. Students using the protection shields could easily see the smartboard while I instructed them, ensuring everyone's safety.

    With your help, the shields provided an excellent start and end to our school year.”

The protection shields will help keep our scholars safe. I want to ensure all are safe once they enter the classroom, maintaining parents' thoughts at ease. The protection shield can help shield germs so scholars can focus more on their education. By shielding the germs, it ensures scholars are present at school to get the education they deserve. Our students are ready to hit the floor running. Let us help them start this race off successfully by making sure they are safe. They are our future and deserve it all.
