• Let’s Get Organized!

  Funded Sep 18, 2024

  I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the generous donations we received. The items have significantly enhanced our daily learning and routines. Many of the donations consisted of organizational materials, such as dividers, pencil pouches, and caddies, which have proven invaluable in helping my students maintain organization.

  With the dividers, students have been able to sort their binders by subject, while the pencil pouches provide a designated space for their writing utensils. The caddies have also been instrumental in managing shared classroom materials, streamlining our workflow.

  The excitement among the students when they first saw the donations was evident! They thoroughly enjoyed organizing their binders, selecting their mechanical pencils and highlighters, and choosing the colors of their pencil pouches.

  Moving forward, we will continue to utilize these organizational materials to foster an environment that supports smooth learning and readiness. Thank you once again for your generosity and support in enhancing our classroom experience.”

• Fueling the FOURTHies

  I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of snacks for my fourth-grade students. The arrival of the snacks brought immense excitement to the classroom! During recess, the students eagerly enjoyed their treats, which not only made them happy but also fostered a sense of gratitude among them.

  With our lunch period not starting until 12:35 PM, having access to these snacks was invaluable. It helped fuel the students, keeping them energized and engaged throughout the day. The snacks were a tremendous hit; the students always looked forward to recess, relishing the opportunity to choose their favorite snacks.

• Stem Kits for Little Explorers

  Funded Apr 18, 2024

  The STEM kits donated to our class have been a great addition to our center rotations. Students got to engage with the kits during centers time for about 15 minutes and then switch to a different kit.

  Students were so excited to see the new additions to our class. They couldn't wait to try every one of the STEM kits. They especially liked the magnet kit and the magnet tiles. They enjoyed using a magnetic kit wand to move chips and metals around. They also loved building tall towers with the magnet tiles. We are so grateful for your generous donation!”

• Counting Meerkats!

  Funded Jan 6, 2023

  My students and I were beyond grateful for the wonderful materials we were gifted! The resources are being used to help aid students during math lessons. Students were excited to be able to use the manipulative to help them count! They were excited in getting choices for their counters, from animals to gems. Students were also excited to learn in new and exciting ways. For example, we set time aside on Fridays to play bingo and review letters and numbers. We will continue to use the materials to enrich our math lessons.”

• Building Character with Books

  Funded Jan 11, 2022

  These books have been a wonderful addition to our class. My students loved the mindfulness and building character books! They have been of great use because they go hand in hand with our social emotional learning lessons. One book we use daily is, "Breath Like a Bear." This book teaches 30 mindful moments to help you keep calm and focused. Students look forward to learning a new mindful moment weekly. Additionally, whenever students are feeing upset or down, I have them grab the book and pick their favorite mindful moment to practice and keep calm.

  Reading in my classroom is usually whole group or in centers. Every day we have carpet time where I read to students. I have been integrating the books we received as a fun read incentive. Students enjoy the character building books because they are able connect it to themselves. One of our centers is reading/exploring books. Students have enjoyed looking through all the new books and reviewing shapes, colors and the alphabet.

  One of my students has really enjoyed our mindfulness books. She loves, "Breath Like a Bear," and, "My Magic Breath." She was even able to borrow these books from our local library.

  We are extremely grateful for these amazing books!”
