Your contribution has provided our students with comfortable and functional seating that fosters focus, collaboration, and creativity during their lessons. It's incredible how something as essential as proper seating can transform a classroom into a more engaging and welcoming space for learning.

• Empowering Our Hearts and Minds in the Classroom

  Funded Aug 12, 2024

  We are incredibly grateful for your generous support in providing Anger Management Toys, a Social Emotional Learning Notebook for Teens, and a Liquid Motion Bubbler for Sensory Play. Your contributions have made a profound impact on our students and their classroom experience. Since incorporating these resources, we have seen a remarkable improvement in how our students manage their emotions and engage with their learning.

  One of the most memorable moments was when the students first encountered the Anger Management Toys and the Liquid Motion Bubbler. Their faces lit up with excitement and relief as they discovered these new tools. The Anger Management Toys, in particular, have become a go-to resource for students needing a break during intense moments, helping them regain their composure and focus. The Liquid Motion Bubbler has provided a calming distraction that supports sensory needs and helps students center themselves, making it easier for them to participate in classroom activities.

  As we continue to integrate these resources into our lessons, we are seeing tangible benefits. The Social Emotional Learning Notebook has become an essential part of our daily routine, allowing students to reflect on their emotions, set personal goals, and develop strategies for managing stress. Moving forward, we plan to use these tools to support a new project focused on creating personal emotion journals and mindfulness practices. This project aims to build on the skills our students are developing, helping them apply these tools to real-life situations and fostering a more empathetic and supportive classroom environment. Your support has not only enriched our classroom but has also empowered our students to take charge of their emotional well-being and learning.

  Thank you once again for making such a significant difference in our students' lives.”

• Arts and Crafts to Build Models in Anatomy and Physiology

  Funded May 24, 2024

  We are incredibly grateful for your generous contributions to our classroom through the Donors Choose platform. Your support in providing the Jovi Plastilina Modeling Clay, Play-Doh Modeling Dough, sensory strips, the Bubble Tube Lamp, and fluorescent light filters has had a remarkable impact on our students' learning environment and emotional well-being.

  The modeling clay and Play-Doh have sparked a wave of creativity in our arts and crafts projects, allowing students to explore their artistic talents and express themselves in new ways. The variety of colors and textures has enhanced their ability to engage in hands-on learning, making abstract concepts more tangible and enjoyable.

  The sensory strips and Bubble Tube Lamp have been invaluable in creating a calming and supportive classroom environment. The sensory strips offer a soothing tactile experience that helps students manage anxiety and stay focused, while the Bubble Tube Lamp provides a visually calming effect, supporting sensory needs and reducing stress. Additionally, the fluorescent light filters have created a more serene atmosphere, reducing visual distractions and contributing to a more comfortable learning space. Your thoughtful donations have significantly improved our classroom's ability to address social-emotional learning needs and support each student's individual well-being.

  Thank you once again for your kindness and dedication to our students' success. Your contributions have made a lasting difference in their educational experience and emotional health.”

• SNACKS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

  Funded Nov 9, 2023

  The students expressed great enthusiasm for the opportunity to have access to food and snacks in the classroom, not only for sustenance but also to facilitate learning experiences. Utilizing science phenomena as a teaching tool proved to be highly engaging for the students. Additionally, the provision of snacks was particularly beneficial for those students who may be experiencing hunger and lack the resources to obtain their own food.

  The joy on my students' faces as they received food and snacks was truly heartwarming. Not only were they able to satisfy their hunger, but they were also able to embark on exciting learning adventures in the classroom. Observing and experimenting with scientific phenomena ignited a fire within them, bringing their education to life in a way like never before.

  But the impact of these snacks goes beyond mere sustenance. For some of my students who come to school hungry and without the means to buy their own food, these snacks serve as a lifeline. They give them the fuel they need to keep going and stay focused on their studies. It is a small gesture with a profound effect on their well-being and academic success. My heart swells with gratitude for the opportunity to provide not just food, but a pathway to a brighter future for these students.”

• Help Me Display the Body Systems for All to See!

  Funded Dec 27, 2023

  My students found the frames displaying the body systems to be very engaging and insightful. They greatly appreciated the visual aids as they enhanced their understanding of the material being taught. The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" definitely rang true in this instance.

  As we progressed in our study of each body system, my students gained a deeper understanding of its functionality through visual observation. It became evident that a comprehensive understanding of the system was best achieved through direct observation.

  Upon initial inspection of the frames, they expressed excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to enhance their learning experience. Thank you again for your generosity.”
