  • Individualized Resources

    Funded Aug 25, 2023

    Thank you so much for giving to my project and my school. These resources go a long way in allowing me to support my students individual needs. Each of my students are on a different level and having resources I can grab from to support them is incredibly helpful. Your kindness and generosity is seen and appreciated.”

  • Keeping The Classroom Going

    Funded May 2, 2023

    Thank you for your donations. They have made a huge impact in my classroom. This resource allowed all of my students to have access to the same materials as others and be able to have the same tools for success. These funds allowed my students to still get the enrichment that so rightly deserve while also being individually accommodated. Lessons that can be created/altered because of this generosity have allowed my students to take responsibility in their own education and executive functioning skills. My students love the resource center with the bright office supplies.

    Without you, so many of these options for my students would not be possible. This takes their education to the next level every single day and allows them a learning experience that is unforgettable.”

  • The Right to Love Reading

    Funded Dec 31, 2022

    In my classroom every student comes to me as a struggling reader with a learning disability to add to the struggle. It is difficult to find books that have content that will keep my students interest my students while also being written on a level they can understand. So graphic novels have been super helpful. They support students who might not know all of the words while allowing them to follow the story through the pictures. I have also ordered a couple of the same books so that I can work in small groups or 2-3. In one of the small groups we worked on the Diary of a Whimpy Kid books. My student thought the story was funny and challenging but not too difficult. We were able to talk about story elements and apply them to the text. This offered hands on learning for each of them. My students love walking into the library in our classroom and being able to find a book that they like and just hang out and read. our school library can be overwhelming for them and has many many books above their reading levels. My classroom library allows them to feel safe and explore new stories without the stress.

    Thank you again for making such an impact on my classroom.”

  • Rewards and Prizes

    Funded Jan 10, 2023

    I work with ESE students and they typically work tremendously hard for the same success that comes to others more easily. I deeply believe this effort deserves acknowledgement and when appropriate a prize. In my classroom my students earn tickets based on tasks they complete and scores they earn. One student finally earned the 8 tickets he needed and he was so excited to get a fidget. I could see how much he valued the item because typically this student looses everything and he came back each day that week with the fidget in hand. This is just part of the impact that is made with this type of resource. I also have other students save up their tickets for an extra snack because food is not readily available to them. Of course there are many that enjoy the quick piece of candy and a sticker.”

  • Basic Supplies

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Thank you for your donations. They have made a huge impact in my classroom. These items have allowed all of my students to have access to the same materials as others and be able to have the same tools for success. Even thought not everything could be purchased, I was able to substitute a manipulative game that allows my students to still get the enrichment that so rightly deserve. The folders have added a level of organization to my classroom, as well as responsibility and care for my students in their own education and executive functioning skills.
