• Class Set of The Wild Robot to Inspire Young Readers

  Funded Apr 9, 2025

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to my DonorsChoose project! Because of your support, my students now have the opportunity to experience The Wild Robot—one of my favorite books—and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with them.

  This story sparks so many important conversations about empathy, nature, survival, and what it means to belong. I can already picture my students lighting up with curiosity and imagination as we dive into Roz's journey together. Your kindness is helping to foster a love of reading and learning that will stay with them for years to come.

  Thank you again for believing in our classroom and for making a difference. You’ve truly given us a gift that goes far beyond the pages of a book.”

• Flexbile Seating

  Funded Dec 31, 2024

  I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of flexible seating for my fifth-grade classroom. Thanks to your support, my students now have a variety of seating options that help them feel more comfortable, focused, and engaged in their learning.

  The new seating arrangements have made such a difference in our classroom. Students are able to choose spaces where they feel most productive, whether it's a wobble chair, a cozy beanbag, or a traditional chair. This flexibility has allowed them to take ownership of their learning environment, and I've seen an increase in both participation and enthusiasm for class activities.

  Not only does flexible seating provide physical comfort, but it also encourages collaboration, creativity, and independence—skills that are essential for success both in and out of the classroom. My students are now more excited and motivated to learn every day!

  Thank you for helping create a positive, adaptable learning space for my students. Your generosity is truly making a lasting impact on their educational experience, and we are so appreciative of your support.”

• Hooray for Headphones!

  Funded Dec 31, 2024

  On behalf of my fifth-grade students and myself, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for the generous donation of multiple class set headphones. Your support has made a significant difference in our classroom!

  These headphones have already proven to be an invaluable tool for our students. They help create a focused and distraction-free environment, allowing each child to engage fully in their learning. Whether they are working on interactive lessons, listening to audiobooks, or completing individualized assignments, these headphones are essential in ensuring that all students have equal access to learning opportunities.

  In a classroom with diverse learning needs, having access to these headphones allows my students to engage in lessons at their own pace and comfort level, which has led to a noticeable improvement in both focus and academic performance.

  We are so grateful for your support, which has helped provide the resources needed for my students to succeed. Thank you for making a lasting impact on their education.”

• Read, Read, Read!

  Funded Nov 13, 2024

  On behalf of my fifth-grade students and myself, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of Scholastic News and Science Spin subscriptions. Your support has made a significant difference in our classroom and has created exciting opportunities for learning that we will treasure for the rest of the year.

  Since receiving the magazines, my students have eagerly looked forward to each new issue. They are especially enthusiastic about reading Scholastic News to stay informed about current events and the world around them. Whether discussing the latest global news or learning about fascinating scientific discoveries, your contribution has sparked important conversations in our classroom. It's a wonderful way for my students to stay engaged and curious about what's happening in the world, while strengthening their reading and comprehension skills.

  The impact of this gift goes beyond just the articles. The interactive features, hands-on activities, and thought-provoking questions have helped my students make real-world connections, and they're motivated to think critically about complex topics. Many of them have expressed how much they enjoy the way the magazines bring the world to life in such an accessible and fun way.

  Your generosity has not only provided us with valuable learning resources, but it has also fostered a sense of excitement and curiosity in our students that will last long after this school year. Thanks to you, my students now have the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of current events and science in a way that makes learning enjoyable and relevant.

  We are incredibly grateful for your support, and we can't thank you enough for your contribution to our classroom. Please know that your donation is making a lasting impact on these young learners, and it is helping to nurture their curiosity and passion for learning.”

• Read, Read, Read!

  Funded Aug 11, 2023

  I can't thank you enough for your generosity. My students look forward to reading our weekly Scholastic News magazine. With such high interest magazines, students have loved learning more about the Titanic, Loch Ness Monster and other interesting articles. Our classroom is full of rich conversations where students discuss what they learned while incorporating their thoughts into our discussion. Students love to add their perspective to the weekly debate.

  Along with the Scholastic News, the Science Spin articles are perfect for our science discussions. The animal magazine articles are exciting for the fourth graders and they can't get enough of them. Thank you so much for giving my students something to look forward to each week.”

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. My students have benefited so much from the hands on maniplulatives and games that you have donated to our classroom.
