    Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our project! Your support has made a meaningful impact in our classroom. The Play-Doh, snacks, and Easter Surprises will bring so much joy and comfort to my students.

  • Hands-on Learning Fosters a Deeper Understanding of STEM

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    On behalf of my students and myself, I want to express our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of hands-on STEM materials to our classroom. Your contribution has made a remarkable difference in the learning experiences of our students, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.

    Since incorporating these materials into our lessons, the impact has been immediate and profound. Students who once found STEM subjects intimidating are now more engaged, excited, and confident in exploring science, technology, engineering, and math concepts. Whether they're building structures, conducting experiments, or working through real-world problems, the hands-on materials have sparked their curiosity and fueled their problem-solving skills.

    Your donation has not only enhanced their understanding of STEM but also empowered them to collaborate and think critically, essential skills that will serve them well in the future. It's amazing to see how your generosity is shaping the next generation of innovators and thinkers.

    Thank you again for your support. Your kindness is truly making a lasting difference in the lives of my students and helping to foster a love of learning that will stay with them for years to come.”

  • Help Bring The Essentials To My Classroom Community

    Funded Sep 2, 2024

    This Donors Choose project was one of the most important ones that I have had funded. My students don't always have the luxury of coming to school with a full belly, clean clothes, or having showered/brushed their teeth daily. Thanks to you at Donors choose, I can provide those resources for my students at school on the days they've not had the opportunity.

    After having my project my funded, within the first week, I was able to provide resources to 6 students. Things like a tooth brush, deodorant, or snack don't seem very important, unless you are in need and don't have access.

    Ironically enough, the week after having received the materials form the project we had picture day. Because of you, we were fully prepared to tackle that day. Thank you so very much! We appreciate your support.”

  • LCDs and Reinforcement Tools!

    Funded Jul 15, 2024

  • Keep Classroom Incentives Enticing

    Funded Apr 30, 2024

    The contribution you have made to my class has been so beneficial. Because of your donations my students are extremely excited to access their classroom store again. Because items are reinforcing again, they are more willing to complete their work without additional accommodations and modifications. Redirection is so easy now. A simple reminder about store, gets them back on track. In addition to the store items, your donations added additional sensory items for my students to engage with. My students frequently requests access to the sand bins, play-doh, and slime kits. Your donation has started our year off amazing!”

  • Make Student Spending Worth While!

    Funded Sep 20, 2023

    This project has made such a huge impact on my students' interest in financial literacy. Having items they want to "purchase" had been so reinforcing for them. They now look forward to shopping the Friday store. The items I had in my classroom store were interesting to my last group of students. This new group of students is much, so their interests are not the same. Being provided with items in alignment with my new students' interests has made learning about financial literacy so much more fun.”

  • Stem to Increase Student Engagement

    Funded Jun 19, 2023

    Welcoming my students back this year was made extra special by all of you who donated to these stem project. My students were overly excited when they saw all the new things.

    The legos were a great way to begin building new relationships because students were working together while building, without even realizing it.

    The Play Doh also supported my new students who entered the classroom by giving them the opportunity to sit quietly at their desks until they felt comfortable enough to branch out in the new environment.”

  • The 3 R's Make an Impact. Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse.

    Funded May 1, 2023

    The materials that were donated could not have come at a better time. My class was working on climate change and the impact of solar energy just before Earth Day, so they were so excited to be able to make a small impact on bettering the environment woth the use of the materials from this project. Not only was my class excited to help make a difference, but the students I have this upcoming school year will be able to continue working on that positive impact in the future. In addition to the positive impact on the environment, the reusable containers have helped me become more organized.”

  • Program Fidelity Makes All the Difference

    Funded Apr 29, 2023

    Thanks to your donations, my students have been provided more opportunities at independence since I have been able to create a more organized classroom for them. Program fidelity means that everything has a certain place. This allows the program to run smoothly. Not only has it made my classroom more functional, but my students really enjoy the ability to be indpendent and no rely so heavily on me for their academic materials. I am so excited to have all of these things multiple throughout my class this upcoming school year. The more prepared my classroom is, the more prepared my students can be.”

    Keeping my students reinforced is a continuous focus of mine. The implementation of kindness cash in my classroom has been very successful. Thanks to all of you at donors chose, we were able to refill our classroom store with new and exciting merchandise. My students were so excited to see all of the new fidgets that were donated by you all. It gave them something new and exciting to work towards at the end of each week. I try my best to keep all of my students excited to do their job and make kind choices. The materials should get us through a few weeks of our classroom store.”

    Mrs. Sam

My students are bright, witty, and full of potential. I provide opportunities for my students to participate in every activity their typically developing peers do and in many instances even if it takes them much longer, they are successful. They are funny, charismatic, and creative. They are an amazing group of students and it is always an adventure with them. There is nothing they cannot do if given the correct material and direction/support.
