  • Headphones for Students

    Funded Jan 17, 2025

    I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation toward headphones for my classroom. Thanks to your kindness, my students now have the tools they need to focus, learn, and engage more effectively.

    Your support makes a real difference in their education, and I truly appreciate it. Seeing their excitement and improved concentration has been incredible, and it's all thanks to you! They are so excited and they love it.

    Thank you again for your generosity and for believing in our students.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Castro

  • Fraction Frenzy

    Funded May 2, 2023

    I appreciate you so much!! My students had a blast using the fraction manipulatives . They enjoyed having them relate to real life objects. They enjoyed having them in shapes of fruits. I had them make their own fraction fruits for a project.

    Additionally the fraction tiles were proven helpful when making /converting mixture numbers into fractions as we had hands on experience with the tiles.

    With this we were able to master fractions by 53% of my class. This proves to me I need to make an inventarme to more manipúlate es and hands on learning. Thank you all very much. Support more !!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Castro

    This classroom project was brought to life by Lessons Learned and Cherished by Deborah Roberts and one other donor.
