  • Classroom Essentials For Eager Learners

    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donations and interest in my classroom. Your support and contributions means the world to me and will make a significant impact on creating a learning environment that encourages and supports my students. Your contributions of these essential materials are invaluable to our eager learners. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity.”

  • Promoting Encouraging Young Readers

    Funded Sep 1, 2024

    I am thrilled to share the incredible impact that these books have had in our classroom. These engaging books have not only become a favorite among my students but have also significantly enhanced their reading skills and enthusiasm for learning.

    When the books first arrived, the excitement was palpable. The students' faces lit up with joy as they eagerly explored the colorful pages and humorous stories. One specific project that stands out is our partner reading where one student is Gerald (elephant) and one student is Piggie from the book. This activity not only helps students be good listeners and follow along with their peers reading but also improved their comprehension and expressive skills.

    Currently, we are using these books to support a reading buddy system and reading to self system. The next steps involve integrating these stories into our writing curriculum, encouraging students to create their own adventures inspired by Elephant and Piggie. Your generous contributions have truly transformed our classroom into a magical and engaging learning environment.”

  • Essential Back-to-School Items for a Safe, Welcoming, & Hydrated Classroom

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    This project has helped my students in many ways. The students love being able to access water when ever they are thirsty because of these water bottles. They are also getting more learning time because they do not need to go into the hallway to get a sip of water.

    The wrist bands were so helpful during our fire drill and our run drill. These drills are important because they teach students what they should do in case of an emergency but they are also a stressful time for teachers for there are so many kids moving in the same direction, in the same space, at the same time which causes some students to get mixed up in different classes. With the all my students wearing red wrist bands, no one got lost or mixed up for either of these drills!

    The students love the classroom's confetti themed wall paper and students were excited to see a confetti caddie. This caddie has brightened up the classroom with its confetti and colors!”

    With gratitude,
