• New Teacher Must Haves

  Funded Jun 20, 2023

  I want to express my immense gratitude for your support in providing the essential resources for a new teacher like me. Your generosity has made a profound impact on my students and our classroom.

  We've wasted no time in putting these new resources to work. One of the projects that has been particularly impactful is our "Exploring World Cultures" series. With the help of the materials you provided, my students have been able to immerse themselves in learning about diverse cultures, traditions, and languages. They've created impressive presentations, showcasing their newfound knowledge, and have engaged in meaningful conversations about the importance of global understanding.

  The first time my students laid eyes on these materials, their excitement was palpable. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it's been incredibly rewarding to see them so eager to learn. These resources have ignited a passion for exploration and discovery in my classroom, and I'm convinced that this will have a lasting positive effect on their education.

  Looking ahead, our next step involves a multicultural fair where students will work in groups to create immersive exhibits about different world cultures. This project will integrate various subjects, including social studies, geography, and even some art and music. Your support has not only set us up for success as a new teacher but has also paved the way for enriching and dynamic learning experiences for my students. I am truly thankful for your help in making this happen.”

• Reading Resources Make Learning Fun

  Funded Jun 6, 2023

  I'm excited to share the incredible impact your support has had on my students and our classroom. Thanks to your generosity, we acquired a treasure trove of reading resources that have truly made learning fun.

  We've incorporated these materials into our daily routines, using them for engaging reading exercises and interactive projects. One project that stands out is our "Literary Adventure" series, where students choose books from the new resources, read them, and then creatively present their findings to the class. The excitement and energy in the classroom during these presentations are truly heartwarming.

  When the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with amazement and curiosity. The books, games, and interactive tools have ignited a passion for reading that I hadn't seen before. It's been wonderful to witness their enthusiasm and increased participation.

  In the near future, we plan to expand our "Literary Adventure" to include collaborative group projects and discussions, fostering critical thinking and communication skills. Your support has not only opened doors to the world of reading but has also paved the way for enhanced learning experiences for my students. I can't thank you enough for making this possible.

  With deep gratitude,”

• Amazing Resources for Amazing Students

  Funded Oct 11, 2022

  These resources have changed the lives of my students and my teaching. I am forever grateful for the supplies for my classroom. My students love creating amazing structures using their communication and collaboration to evaluate, fix, and solve. They test and retest their designs which generates a spark in their critical thinking skills and ignites a fire for hands on learning. Whether it's after a hard day of learning, completing rounds of state testing, or taking a brain break my students are eager to run to our building buckets and create.”
