• Tiny Bites, Big Smiles: Third Grade Classroom Snack Adventures

  Funded Nov 20, 2024

  I cannot express enough gratitude for your kindness in providing nutritious snacks for my students. When they saw the snack bins filled with healthy options, their eyes lit up excitedly, and I heard a chorus of "Wow! We get these every day?" For many of my students, having access to a steady supply of nourishing snacks has made a difference in their ability to focus and engage in learning throughout the day.

  These snacks have become an essential part of our classroom routine. Whether it's a mid-morning energy boost before a big math assignment or a brain break during a challenging lesson, students have the fuel to stay alert and ready to learn. One of the most memorable moments was during a group project on healthy living—students eagerly discussed the benefits of different food choices while enjoying the snacks that support their well-being. Seeing them make connections between what they eat and how they feel has been incredible!

  Looking ahead, we'll continue incorporating nutrition education into our lessons, helping students understand how food impacts their health and learning. Thanks to your support, they have the resources to stay energized and the knowledge to make healthier choices in the future. Your generosity has nourished their bodies and minds; we are so grateful!”

• History, Me Please!

  Funded Nov 9, 2024

  Thank you for your generosity in providing social studies journals and pencils for my students! The moment they saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement. One student even exclaimed, "Are these really for us?!"—a testament to how much this means to them.

  We've already used these resources to great effect! Each student now has a journal to record historical reflections, take notes on our discussions, and sketch maps and diagrams to deepen their understanding. One of our recent projects involved creating personal "History in My Life" timelines, where students used their journals to document significant events in their own lives and connect them to broader historical themes. Seeing them take ownership of their learning in this way has been inspiring!

  Looking ahead, we'll dive into a civics and government unit, where these journals will become a space for students to explore big questions like, What makes a good leader? and How do laws shape our communities? Thanks to your support, they now have a meaningful place to think critically, express their ideas, and grow as learners.

  Your kindness has made a real impact, and we are so grateful. Thank you for helping us bring history to life in our classroom!”

• Magic Carpet Storytime!

  Funded Aug 5, 2023

  We are excited to update you on the impact of the large rug that you generously contributed to our kindergarten class. This rug has become a central and cherished part of our classroom, significantly enhancing our story time experiences and fostering a love for reading among our young students.

  When the rug was first unrolled in our classroom, the reaction from the kindergarten class was a delightful mix of amazement and joy. Their faces lit up with excitement as they saw the vibrant colors, playful designs, and ample space for everyone to gather comfortably. It immediately became the go-to spot for story time, and the children couldn't wait to sit on the rug, surrounded by the inviting illustrations that adorned it.

  This rug has transformed our daily story time sessions. The children eagerly anticipate this part of their day, and the carpet has created a sense of unity and togetherness. It provides a dedicated, cozy space where they can sit, listen, and engage with our shared stories.

  The following steps for our students involve a continued journey of exploration and learning through stories. We have introduced a variety of books, both classic and contemporary, that cater to their interests and educational needs. We plan to use the rug as a platform for interactive storytelling, where the children can not only listen but also actively participate by sharing their thoughts and ideas.

  Furthermore, we are encouraging the development of early literacy skills by incorporating letter and number activities on the rug's surface. The rug's engaging design has made learning letters and numbers a fun and interactive experience.

  Your generous gift has created a warm and inviting space for our kindergartners to develop a lifelong love for reading. The rug has become a symbol of unity, imagination, and the joy of learning. We are grateful for your support, which has had a profound impact on the educational journey of our young students.

  Thank you for being an essential part of our classroom's story time experience.

  Sincerely,”

  With gratitude,

  Ms. Nicolas
