  • Setting Up for Success

    Funded Aug 19, 2024

    Thank you for donating to my project. I cannot wait to make my classroom a home away from home for my kiddos. With your help, they will be able to enjoy the supplies daily to ensure social, emotional, and academic growth. We appreciate the donation and support. Thank you again for impacting my students’ education.”

  • Keep Learning Fun!

    Funded May 7, 2024

    Thank you for supporting my second grader students. I will be able to create more learning activities and games for them. They will be able to work towards becoming more independent and finding their special place in the classroom. Without your support, they may not have these opportunities that the supplies create. Myself and 23 second graders are sending you a virtual hug. Thank you again!”

  • Keep Learning Fun!

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    Thank you for your donation to our "Keep Learning Fun!" project. With the gift cards, I have been able to purchase many resources, games, and activities for the students. In our classroom, we have a variety of learners at all different levels. I was able to purchase differentiated activities; such as BINGO, tic-tac-toe, board games; for each student.

    I introduce new activities based on lessons the students are learning. They are always very excited to see and learn a new game. I have also purchased worksheets that help students learn their sight words and irregular/regular spelling patterns. I have seen an improvement in their recognition and spelling of sight words. They also have been applying their spelling pattern knowledge to their reading and writing.

    Thank you again for making an impact on our classroom!”

  • We're All Ears for Learning!

    Funded Aug 27, 2022

    Thank you very much for the donation to purchase a class set of headphones and a storage area for them. They have been using them everyday and the classroom is much quieter. Students have increased their concentration during independent computer work, and there have been less interruptions.

    My students were extremely excited to know people care so much about them and that they would get them each a set of their own headphones. Their eyes lit up as soon as they saw the package enter the classroom. They know where to put their headphones at the end of each usage due to the labeled headphones and labeled shoe holder. It is all thanks to you!

    Thank you again for the support, we appreciate you!”

  • Words and Stuffed Birds!

    Funded Oct 25, 2022

    Thank you very much for supporting my classroom. The students will be excited to see the new book buddies and the new books that you have helped purchase for them. As we continue to grow as readers, it is vital that they have a variety of books to choose from and our classroom library continues to grow thanks to donors like you!”

  • Tennis Balls and Drawers, Oh My!

    Funded Aug 27, 2021

    Thank you for sponsoring our class projects. The tennis balls for the bottoms of our chairs have made a huge impact in our classroom. It is quiet when the students get up and sit down and quiet while the students are moving around in their seats. It is not as much of a distraction and that is all thanks to you!

    The students were very excited when they saw the tennis balls on their chairs. They also commented on the quietness of the room. We stay focused while completing our work and have stopped moving our desks around.

    The drawers have also been a hit. I use it to organize my materials for the week as well as extra work for each subject. The students know where to look for worksheets in an organized way. I keep my supplies for each day (manuals, worksheets, games) in a drawer and grab them each morning. The other set of drawers is used for ELA and Math games. The students get very excited when they earn an ELA or math game.

    Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Quesnel

The tennis balls will help the students limit their distractions. The noise of the metal chairs on the tile floor can distract others and cause a commotion. While minimizing the distractions, students are more likely to focus on their learning. We are great learners! The drawers will help organize materials for small group instruction. This will make it easier for myself and students to find items necessary for use. The drawers can be rotated based on what is needed and it makes transitioning seamless. This will help the students not have to search for certain items throughout the classroom.
