• Writing and Technology

  Funded Nov 8, 2024

  Thank you to a the donors who contributed to this project. In my years of teaching, my class have had to go through many, many headphones. My hope is that these are better quality and durability and will last for years to come. I am also looking forward to the smiling faces when everyone gets their new writing tools.”

• Prepping For The New School Year

  Funded May 23, 2024

  I cannot express enough, the gratitude for the support starting the new school year. My students were ready with everything they needed to start out a successful school year. This year we were informed that we could not ask family for donations therefore we teachers are needing to be more resourceful for items we need for our classroom. Luckily, we teachers have a whole donors choose community that is ready to help. So thank you for always being ready to support a complete stranger or someone from around your community.”

• Showing Our Thinking from Anywhere

  Funded Jan 15, 2024

  Thank you for your generosity and supporting teachers and students. The whiteboards have been a success in the classroom. Students have been able to show their thinking and have been able to move the whiteboard around the class easily. The other one I have it blocking part of our calming corner and students have been utilizing it as a doodling whiteboard to regulate emotions and express their feelings through art. The students have been utilizing the calming corner much more now thanks to the whiteboard and the privacy it gives students from the rest of the classroom and not being worried about others looking at them. Thank you for making this possible!”

• Help Us Stay Organized

  Funded Sep 20, 2023

  Long overdue thank you. The new items in our classroom have helped us in so many ways. The rainbow drawer has helped me stay on top and organized in helping my phonics groups receive their appropriate lessons and keeping materials organized and safe. Our new classroom writing tools have made the kiddos excited about writing. The new laminator has helped us keep our art projects protected and long lasting. The wireless mic has helped students' active listening skills and myself preserve my voice the couple of times I have come down with a cold and have almost lost my voice. I cannot thank you enough for these very much needed items that will now follow my students to come.”

• Exploring STEM Stations

  Funded Nov 8, 2023

  Thank you for your generous donation. Our classroom now has stem stations to visit during our morning stations. My students have been showing their creativity and are enjoying working together. The wireless microphone has come in so handy while doing read alouds as it helps from having to project my voice. I also am now able to transport items to and from my classroom easily with my new wagon. My students have also enjoyed using the crayon sharpener and have been saving many broken crayons from being thrown out. Our calming corner now has a cool seat where students can regulate emotions but also is suitable for my students with mobility disabilities.”

• New School Year, New Start

  Funded Jul 13, 2023

  I have been able to successfully start out the new school year on a great start thanks to your generous donation. I was able to have name tags ready for the first week of school. A set of folders for the class for them to put their work in progress, give them the reusable bags to keep library books safe and a set of writing tools for each of my kiddos to get them excited about writing. I now also have desk privacy dividers for when testing comes around. I cannot thank you enough for getting our classroom off on a successful start. Looking forward to continue the rest of the year on this same path.”

• Making Learning Engaging

  Funded Jun 8, 2023

  My students have been enjoying using the class set of watercolors that was funded thanks to your help! They have created beautiful masterpieces, one of them being self portraits (a picture has been shared with you). I also cannot emphasize enough how amazing and classroom life changing the rolling easel has been in my classroom so far. It allows for me to easily move around the classroom and support students on chart paper. My students are also very excited to earn classroom incentives that thanks to this project they will be able to earn and be rewarded for. All of this would not have been possible without your generous support.”

• Fun Reads

  Funded Mar 30, 2023

  Thank you for supporting students and teachers like myself! The faces of my students when they saw reads on some of their favorite soccer and basketball players were so awesome to watch. I believe in having a library filled with books of my students interests and thanks to you I have been able to add more of what they enjoy to read. As my students and their likes change, I hope to upkeep my classroom library with current books my students enjoy to keep the love for reading going. As a teacher, it makes me excited to hear when my students want to pick up a book to read for pleasure.”
