• Classroom Culture and Basic Materials

  Funded Sep 2, 2023

  the extremely generous donation that my classroom and students have received has made such a positive and beneficial impact. I am able to more fluidly provide solid classroom structures and routines with items such as the chair kick bands, pencil containers, and 5 subject notebooks. I have been able to dive into grade level content AND have times for prepared small group instruction by just being able to save time during transitions.

  Another huge benefit to the classroom has been having a white erase easel. For the last 4 years, it has been extremely difficult to come by a functioning easel and each year I have either been provided with a broken one or without one at all. The basic materials help keep the classroom environment thriving and accessible for all students. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!”

• Let’s Put the Fun Back In Learning

  Funded Nov 29, 2022

  I did not know how impactful and incredibly helpful this set of donated gifts would be until I saw how much my students' writing had improved since receiving the Paragraph of the Week Journals. This was so impactful for my classroom that I believe I will be ordering these every year from now on. The students were VERY excited when they saw the games I received and love getting the opportunity to take a break from the curriculum and use what they learned when playing the games. I love listening to them discuss the game questions with each other. It really helps with engagement and are great centers for small groups. I am honestly unsure how I would have helped the students more in their writing without these resources. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me shape these young and precious minds.”

• Give a Child a Book - Watch Them Thrive

  Funded Sep 4, 2022

  The magazine subscription has created such a positive impact on my students' reading growth and has given them exposure to real things happening in the world! These magazines are especially great because they are on topics that are relevant to students' lives. I use them for reading stations to practice summary work and I use them as homework assignments so they can practice different literacy skills such as finding key details and compare and contrast.

  I used to LOVE reading student magazines as a kid and I was so excited that I was able to give my own students the opportunity to experience the same enjoyment in reading student news magazines as I had.

  I have had over 60% reading growth over the last 4-5 months since receiving these reading materials. They have helped to supplement and support the curriculum materials that are used school wide and so my classroom has seen the highest reading growth in my school so far and that is something truly incredible.

  My students and I can not thank you enough!”

• Let's Get Immersed in our Learning!

  Funded Oct 11, 2022

  The new rug has given my students and even the admin at my building so much joy! I can not express how happy and excited we all were when we rolled it out and saw how absolutely beautiful it was. My students have even learned the abbreviations and locations of many states just from having this rug in the classroom and choosing states to sit on during carpet time!

  This year is the first year that most of my students have seen a map and now this rug has helped to familiarize the students with the U.S. map which they will continue to learn about throughout the rest of their learning careers. We are so incredibly grateful for the kindness that you have shown our classroom.”
