Funded Sep 24, 2021When this school year started, I quickly came to realize that our classroom was missing quite a few items. We didn't have a pencil sharpener, scissors, sentence strips, and other things that were honestly quite essential for the classroom. You were able to change that for us! Because of you, I no longer have to walk down the hallway every time I need to sharpen a pencil or borrow another classrooms set of scissors when we start a new project. Not only does this make my life a whole lot easier, but it also gives the students a sense of ownership over their own classroom materials. They have come to learn that they need to work together in order to take care of these items if they want them to last. That is a priceless life lesson.
Students were so excited when the boxes arrived! They wanted to open everything and couldn't wait to try things out. By far the favorite item was the dress up set! We are currently learning about community helpers in reading, so they are beyond excited to explore as these essential workers during play time.
Thank you so much for giving my students the items they need to have a functioning and fun classroom. We couldn't do it without you!”
With gratitude,
