• More Ink Please!

  Funded Dec 16, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous support in providing black printer ink for our classroom. Your kindness has made an immediate impact on my students' learning experience. In our classroom, printed materials are a critical resource. From worksheets and graphic organizers to reading passages and visual aids, having access to printed materials ensures that every student can engage with lessons in meaningful ways. With your help, we can now print high-quality resources that cater to the diverse needs of my students, many of whom thrive with hands-on and visual supports.

  Thank you for being a part of our learning journey. You are helping to build a foundation for success, and I am deeply grateful for your support.”

• Empowering Readers: Dyslexia Reading Pens to Boost Literacy!

  Funded Dec 18, 2024

  I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our classroom project to acquire scan pens for our young learners. Your kindness is making a profound difference in the lives of my students.

  Our school serves an urban community with limited resources, and many of my students face challenges such as learning differences, language barriers, and low reading proficiency. These scan pens are transformative tools, enabling students to independently decode words, understand text, and build confidence in their literacy skills.

  Your donation goes beyond providing a piece of technology; it instills a sense of hope and possibility. You've shown my students that their education and future are worth investing in, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you for believing in the potential of every child in my classroom. You are changing lives and helping to build a brighter future for these young learners.”

• Hungry For Some Good Reads!

  Funded Dec 18, 2024

  I am so thankful for your kindness and generosity. Your donation helps build a greater love of reading among my students. My goal is to get my students interested in reading by providing books that are interactive and fun. Seasonal books and books with book companions and toys are a great way to get my students excited to read.

  My older students will be getting the chapter books that they can choose from in my updated library. My younger students are visual learners, so the new books have lots of big, colorful pictures and an accompanying plushie that they love to hold as they listen to the story. This helps the student understand the context. They love to describe the pictures, use it to help them with story elements, and draw their own characters based on the text.

  We are so grateful to have these new resources to promote the love of reading.”

• A Touch of Color to Stimulate the Mind

  Funded Sep 24, 2024

  Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and ongoing support. Your contribution means a lot to us and I can't thank you enough for helping make my classroom a little brighter and a lot more colorful. I am able to create fun activities, posters, and anchor charts for my students.

  My students are visual learners. The activities that I create have to be fun and engaging in order to catch their attention and maintain their focus and attention, and promote a positive learning environment. Black and white just won't do. The color printer is definitely a big game changer and the new supply of ink was much needed. My students think it's so much fun to create activities colorful resources that are customized specifically for them.
