  • Building Strong Character in Kindergarten

    Funded Dec 30, 2023

    Words can not describe how grateful my students and I are. We could not have done it without your generous support! Can’t wait to hear the rich conversations during and after the read alouds in the classroom. I’m excited to share how these books will help us cope with our emotions.”

  • Woah, We're Half Way There

    Funded Jan 31, 2023

    My students and I are so excited to restock and freshen some materials in the classroom for the second half of the year! We can't wait to use the digit clock to help our center time run smoothly. Once again, we have the DonorsChoose community to thank for supporting our classroom!!”

  • Second Grade Bookworms

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    The students and I have been reading nonstop! I absolutely love how hard it is for my students to put their books down. They've been fully engaged with the exciting and new titles in the classroom. It is amazing to see the variety of genres enter their newly created interests.

    Not only did this project help create the love for reading, students are now comprehending literature and making connections. Students have the option to independently read and/or listen to a read aloud as a whole class.

    We cannot thank you enough for these wonderful books that reach all of our interests!”

  • Back to School Basics

    Funded Jul 27, 2022

    You wouldn't believe the progress the students have been making with their new materials! We all know how it can be scary starting a new school year with a new teacher and classmates. These students had one less thing to worry about, they were lucky enough to have donors like you to provide them with these materials.

    My students have been able to use the pencils and notebooks to work on their yearlong goal of active reading and writing. They have also been able to use the folders to keep them organized. The Kleenex tissues and paper towels help keep our learning space clean so we can stay engaged with our learning.

    We are lucky to have such great supporters like you! Thank you for your continuous support! :)”

  • Keep Calm and Breathe On

    Funded Jun 8, 2022

    You wouldn't believe the progress the students have been making! We all know how it can be scary starting a new school year with a new teacher and classmates. Students have been able to use these calming materials to self regulate and get ready for the school day.

    My students have been able to use the sand timers to keep them on track and still engaged in their learning. The different faces they can create with the "face cube" has helped them express their emotions. This is a wonderful tool for my English Language learners who may have a difficult time expressing their emotions with oral language.

    We are lucky to have such great supporters like you! Thank you for your continuous support! :)”

  • Rain Rain Go Away, What To Do During Indoor Play?

    Funded Apr 7, 2022

    Thank you so much for allowing us to create new memories in our classroom. The students have been nonstop begging for indoor recess so they can play with the new games. Students have been able to create new friendships and learn how to take turns. Most students have never played these games before, which has sparked an interest with other activities. Students have been able to share games from their cultures and explain how to play them their way. Learning patients and strategies is something these students can carry with them. We greatly appreciate you kindness!”

  • Wobbling into Focus

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    I'd like to thank you again for the generous donations! These third-grade students have been wobbling into focus since the stools have arrived! Let me tell you, these are hot tickets right now in the classroom! Students are able to get their wiggle and juggles out while reading and writing. Our school goal this year is active reading and writing, and we are crushing this goal with these chairs! It is amazing to see students working to their full potential.

    The wobble chairs have been used for individual students, during small group at the teacher table, and as rewards! I will never forget the excitement on their faces the first time the students were able to try these out! I forward to watching students wobble into focus!”

  • Back to Basics School Supplies

    Funded Aug 12, 2021

    I cannot thank you enough for the generous donations! My students and I are lucky to have such a great support system. I couldn't believe how excited my students were when they saw all of their back to school supplies; the smiles and excitement were endless.

    Students are actively reading away with our new books in the classroom library. We've also been using these books with our first grade reading buddies! Notebooks and folders are used daily to keep student work in a safe place. The plastic adhesive pouches have helped us stay organized by housing our math materials and classroom jobs.

    From here, students are learning to stay organized and grow their passion for reading and writing. Again, thank you for your support! :)”

Please consider helping set up my students for academic success this school year. Not all families are fortunate enough to send their student(s) to school with the supplies needed or have to opportunity to read at home. The books will allow my students to continue to grow their passion for reading. The folders will be used daily to hold student work and notebooks will be used as writing journals. The pencil pouches will hold student materials as they transition from class to class. Their manipulative bins and personal bins will be labeled using the adhesive pockets for all forty-eight students. To help keep our classroom clean and germ free, the wipes and tissues will be a big help! Students will greatly benefit from having these specific materials and books accessible to them! Any donation will be greatly appreciated by my students and me. I thank you for your consideration and generosity!
