• Celebrating our Success with Theme Days!

  Funded Jan 26, 2025

  Thank you so very much for your kind donations to our classroom for our year-end celebrations. We are so excited to use them all as we celebrate our successes with virtual field trips.

  Students can't wait to travel to Disney and for our Glow Day fun!

  Everything from the Mickey Mouse ears, the glow day supplies, pencils, and journals were received with so much excitement. We can't wait for our year-end celebrations to put on those ears and for Glow day to read in the dark with our glow supplies.

  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

• Terrific Supplies for Terrific Third-Graders!

  Funded Sep 26, 2023

  I cannot begin to thank you enough for your incredible contributions to our third-grade classroom. My students were amazed at your generosity and could not stop expressing their joy and excitement when the boxes of supplies arrived. The baggies were such a buzz when students realized that they can safely carry their books to and from school.

  We use our dry erase easel daily as it supports our whole class and small group instruction. The organizational drawers have been a game changer in helping us to keep our worksheets organized. The baggies have been an amazing way for students to carry their independent books to and from home. This has ensured that all students have books at home to read daily.

  Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please know that we are incredibly grateful for your generous support and investment in our classroom.”

• Much Needed Supplies & Snacks to End the Year Strong!

  Funded Apr 6, 2023

  THANK YOU for your incredible donations to our classroom. We were able to end our year strong. Students enjoyed snacks and were able to take some home when needed to have something healthy to snack on while doing homework.

  They used the journals to write about their year in third-grade and will continue using them to write all about their summer break. The copy paper allowed us to print all of the necessary year-end worksheets and assessments as well as summer packets for students to complete over the summer break.

  Thank you for helping me provide students with much needed snacks and supplies!!”

• Amazing Books That Students Love!

  Funded May 5, 2023

  THANK YOU does not seem sufficient to describe the impact your generous donations made to our classroom. Students were quick to grab their favorite A to Z Mystery book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, or Dog Man book and jumped into independent reading.

  Each day during our Reading workshop independent reading time, you found a student in their favorite reading spot nose deep in reading. This makes this teacher's heart so happy!

  The Dog Man series and Diary of a Wimpy Kid series particularly helped our most reluctant readers LOVE to read. Students were sharing about character development across books and developing ideas about how a character changes. These have been amazing additions to our classroom library.

  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

• Supplies for Differentiated Group Work!

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  Thank you for your generous contributions towards our project, Supplies for Differentiated Group Work!

  Our green desks are used daily by students in our small group work and allows students to work independently and in small groups from anywhere in the classroom.

  We use the headphones daily as we read books online and play math games online.

  We use the printer paper daily to print much needed worksheets to enhance our learning. The small notebooks have been especially loved as students use them as personal journals daily.

  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

• Fabulous Fifth Grade Readers!

  Funded Mar 16, 2022

  Thank you so much for these wonderful books. Students were able to work in reading clubs to dive into these fabulous books. They learned all about fantasy books and many were introduced to the fantastic world of fantasy books in a series. They are hooked and can't wait to get their hands on more of these types of books.

  Thank you, thank you, thank you! These books are amazing and my students dived right in as soon as they came in.

  Without your support, this love of reading could not be nurtured.

  With sincere gratitude,

  Ms. Franco and her fabulous 5th grade readers”

• Flexible Fifth-Grade Seating

  Funded Nov 3, 2021

  Thank you so very much for your generosity. The flexible seating has been a wonderful asset to our classroom.

  We use them daily during our mini lessons and in small-group work. They allow us to meet together but still be able to socially distance.

  My students also have benefitted greatly from the individual clipboards with the dry erase boards. We use them in small group work every day. It is such a great way to assess students' understanding with a quick glance. Students love to use them to try out the strategies they've just learned.”

• Phenomenal Fifth Grade, Here We Come!

  Funded Sep 13, 2021

  Thank you so very much for the wonderful books that you have so generously donated to our classroom.

  My students were so excited when I shared the news that some very generous donors were gifting us so many amazing books that they have been wanting to get their hands on. The sheer joy and excitement once we opened the packages and saw all of the books was priceless. My most reluctant readers have especially loved the Trapped in a Video Game series.

  Everyday during independent reading, the only sound in our classroom is the turning of pages as students get lost in the books. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
