A Spot for Us All
Funded Sep 4, 2022I would like to say thank you so much again for donating to my project! As a first year teacher, I couldn't imagine gathering these materials for my class all on my own, it means the world to me and my kiddos. The generosity and kindness of all of these donations allowed me to create the welcoming and inclusive learning environment that I dreamed of creating.
When my students first came to my classroom, they were so excited to see that they would not only have a desk, but a space on the floor specifically for them. They were excited about the colors and their names being on each one.
When we finally had our first day of school, their faces lit up when they were able to wander around the room and find their spot all on their own. They now become even more happy when we have the chance to switch spots and mix it up a bit at the end of each month. (The rug is in my room, however due to the time it came, I'm not putting it under the sit spots until after winter break.)
All of my students are able to learn in my classroom, whether that be from their desk, close to the teacher and board, individually or in a whole group style. And, that truly is thanks to you all. So, thank you again!”
With gratitude,

Ms. Gedney's Creative, Comfy, Reading Corner
Funded Aug 12, 2022I would like to thank you again for being so generous and donating to my classroom at the beginning of the year! As this was my first year teaching, I could not have done it without your support. The materials that I chose for this project, and received, allowed me to create the perfect reading corner that I had envisioned for my kiddos. It really was a dream come true!
The majority of these materials went towards my reading corner, and it would be an understatement to say that my students find this part of my classroom to be the best spot. They have gotten so much use out of it already, and were excited over it from the first moment they walked into the room.
One of my students, who is already an avid reader at 5 years old, assists me in picking out new themes for the corner as the seasons change. They get so excited over this, and spend everyday during center time, cozy and comfortable with a picture book in hand.
Without your help and donation, I could not have created such a safe and welcoming space for my class. Thank you form the bottom of my heart, it means the world to my class and I.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Gedney
