  • 3rd Grade Squad- Let the Journey Begin!

    Funded Jul 2, 2022

    I am beyond grateful for the donations that have been made to my classroom. My students walked into the classroom overjoyed to see the beanbag chairs, markers, slug light, and posters. I heard many of the students say "this is an awesome classroom." I cannot wait for my students to use all of these materials throughout the journey and to expand their creativity and excitement to learn. Thank you again for the amazing donations and for making the day for 20 3rd graders in my classroom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

  • We Can Read Together!

    Funded Nov 10, 2021

    My students absolutely love reading and cannot thank you enough for donating these wonderful books to our classroom. Many of my students are at different levels in their reading and by providing these books I can provide the opportunity for my students to read and enjoy books that they can read. I also am able to use the leveled readers in small groups to provide my students with individual reading attention to help them gain confidence in themselves and to really expand their literacy skills.

    I use the leveled readers with students, especially those who are in the third grade but do need support in their reading. It is hard to use printed books and by having these leveled readers I better understand where my students are at and how to help them from there. For example, I have a student who is in third grade but her leveled reading is at a kindergarten level. I can feel her frustration when it comes to books. However, now that we have had these leveled readers she has been super enthusiastic to read and even asks me to take some of the readers home.

    In my classroom reading goes beyond small groups as well, we also spend the time for independent reading, and by having these readers students are able to also independently read. Thank you so much for these books and really for continuing to spark a love for reading for my students.”

  • Wiggle Wiggle Time!

    Funded Nov 10, 2021

    I cannot thank you enough for donating a variety of flexible seating to my students. I have many students who love to move around the classroom and work in different parts of the classroom. By donating items such as wobble chairs and beanbags, it has allowed my students to move around in their seats when they feel anxious and also sit on the carpet to work. I really have seen a change in my student's learning and the focus that they have gained since introducing the flexible seating. They absolutely love the flexible seating and it is wonderful to see how my students are using it to the full use. Thank you again for these wonderful donations and my students are beyond grateful for the donations that you have made to our 3rd-grade family.”

  • New Class, Fresh Faces, Another Year Grasps

    Funded Jul 30, 2021

    I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my class for donating to my classroom! Though I have not met my students yet they are going to be excited to use all the materials that were sent. I am so excited to be able to create my new classroom and use the different donations from the laminator, books, table spots, and others to really create a welcoming environment for my students. Again, thank you so so much for donating to my classroom and I hope to send pictures of my students using the materials as we begin to open to in-person teaching. You donors have made this possible and I am beyond grateful for all that you do for teachers. Thank you.”

My students are eager and yet excited to come back to school after all the changes and uncertainty that have been happening around them.
