• Help Mrs. Deter's Class Become a Thinking Classroom

  Funded May 7, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous contribution to my project. The thinking h classroom is so important for kids. We as teachers try to teach them to think. When they are given the tools to do so it's so important. The whiteboard paint worked so well. You can not tell that it used to be a chalkboard. All the other whiteboard supplies for well in my classroom.

  My students this year are going to be excited about the different surfaces and areas that are available. They will do a lot of things long on these boards. I'm so excited to have the opportunity to try the thinking classroom on these boards and using the expo markers. Thank you again!”

• Help Our School Be Green

  Funded Oct 25, 2023

  Thank you so much from my students and I! We have started our recycling club with our bins and books. My student who wanted to start the club made a poster about recycling. Then, she went and read one of the recycling books to several classrooms. She then was able make our boxes and distribute them to the teachers in the building. We have had 3 pickup weeks so far and the bins are brimming from all of the paper that is being recycled. The students in club were so excited to see the bins and books when I first showed them. They have been working very hard to spread awareness with how important recycling is. Thank you again for helping our school be green! We greatly appreciate you!”

  State of Colorado, thank you so much for all of the items for my classroom. My class was so excited when each new shipment came in. The bouncy band chairs are a big hit.

• Help My Students Boogie into Sharing Thinking

  Funded Aug 23, 2023

  Thank you so much for helping my class boogie into sharing their thinking! They are so excited to have these new Boogie Boards to write on during our group time. When I received the box of Boogie Boards today, they were very curious as to what they were. I was able to open them up and start using them right away!

  When we were doing our reading groups today, my students were able to write an answer on the board and show me right away. They are easy to write on and don't make a huge mess! The kids were so excited to start using them. We had a lesson first and then I gave them time to draw with them. They were very enthusiastic.

  Thank you again for your generous donation to my classroom. My students and I are very lucky! Thank you again!”

  Thank you so much from Southeast Elementary School. The kids are very excited to start our chess club in September. There are so many skills that they will learn through the game of chess.

• Help Mrs. Deter’s Class Read About Current Events

  Funded Jan 18, 2023

  Thank you so much for our Time for Kids subscription. My class is such inquisitive little beings that they love to know what is going on in the world around them. When I told them that we were getting a subscription they were so excited. We received our first edition last week. I told them that it had arrived and they were anxious to read it. We read them as small groups and then discussed the magazine together as a whole class. They were so thrilled to learn about a famous conductor. The other stories were also interesting. The best part is that they get to take a copy home with them. The kids are so excited for the next months magazine to arrive. Thank you again for your generous donation!”

• Help Mrs. Deter's Class Have a Fun Way to Learn!

  Funded Nov 18, 2022

  Thank you so much for the wiggle wobble chair feet! My class is so excited to use them. It really helps with their focus. When I opened the box the kids were so excited! I was able to give 10 kids in my class help with their focus. They can wobble and not be a distraction to others. The wobble feet are so easy to add to my classroom because they attach to regular chairs. The kids are able to have a new chair without having to change their chair. The kids are focused and learning so much better! We appreciate you generosity from the bottom of our hearts! THANK YOU!”

• Help Mrs. Deter’s Class with a Beautiful Meeting Space

  Funded Sep 7, 2022

  Thank you so much from my entire class to you! The students were so excited when they came in and saw their new rug. It is one of their favorite spaces to sit at when we are doing our whole group lessons. We meet together on the rug and they really like it. Their favorite part is it already has spots for them to sit on because of the circles. They really enjoy using the rug during work time on the floor as well. It has brought beautiful colors and more space to our room. The kids work well together and this has really made our room complete. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! We appreciate you! Thank you!”

  Thank you so much for your help this year. The kids and I are so excited to use our new reading rug, headphones, and wobble seats. We are still waiting on a couple of items that are due any day now. There is so much great learning going on with our new items. The kids were ecstatic when they saw their headphones and new rug. They love to sit on it and read a book. They are also making good use of their wobble stools during independent learning times. All of these items have helped keep the kids focused and learning.
