  • The Puzzling Project

    Funded Nov 30, 2022

    Thank you so much for helping to stock our classroom with age appropriate puzzles! My students were so excited when they saw the new materials in their station and they could not wait until it was their turn to play. The variety of materials has effectively reached every student in my classroom and each student has been able to benefit from the new materials! One student especially, chooses that station to go to every day, and I know it is helping his math skills as well as his logic and reasoning. I really appreciate your generosity and help in getting my students the materials they need!”

  • Classroom Community Rug

    Funded Oct 4, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating to our classroom rug project. This has helped our classroom feel like a community in so many ways! I would not have been able to purchase this on my own, and am not provided with a rug from the school so without you it would not have been possible!

    My students love to come to the carpet for story time or for whole group lessons so that we can all sit together. The love being able to sit by their friends but also as a teacher I love that I can get their attention right in front of me, without the many other distractions around the room. Our lessons are much more impactful when we can have discussions and conversations with each other in a close environment. For so long with Covid we were not able to do this and now it is great to have that sense of community again and a comfortable place for it to happen.

    This rug also provides the perfect spot for small group work each day. I bring a group of students to sit with them while I teach them how to read, what letters and sounds do and they work on the rug during their hands on math stations time. Thanks again for providing us with a much needed resource to help my students learn and grow in a comfortable and welcoming environment!”

  • Let's Write the Right Way, and Have Fun!

    Funded Aug 18, 2022

    My students have been using the amazing white boards that you purchased for us for a couple months now. I am thrilled to share with you the benefits that my students have gotten from these. Our writing has improved because of the lines printed on one side of the board. It helps our brains understand sizing and spacing and allows us to make mistakes that are easily corrected. We use these boards on a daily basis and it has helped us learn our letters and sounds and have a little extra fun with it in the process.

    Having enough boards for each student in the class has been most valuable as well. This allows me to have a product for each student, to analyze their answers, and to understand what still needs to be taught to them.

    Another huge benefit is that they boards are magnetic and we are able to use our magnetic letter tiles on the board to help us make words. Just this week we used letters to spell short a words, tap, tad, mad, pat, etc. This keeps us organized and helps the students stay engaged because of the fun with moving the letter tiles around the board.

    Honestly, I cannot express to you how much I appreciate your generosity in sending us these materials. They really have been a huge benefit to my students and are going a long way to increasing their learning and engagement!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Holtzapple
