    Funded Dec 20, 2024

    Thank you so much! My students are going to be so beyond happy when they receive their books and get to bring them home to share with their families and loved ones. The Chicka Chicka series has already given my students a love for reading even at their young age!”

    Thank you so much for your generous gift to our classroom! Our class library will be expanded greatly because of you!

  • Money, Money, Money

    Funded Sep 27, 2024

    Thank you for your gift to my classroom. I'm so excited to be able to teach our students the real world skill of money! Even though they're only four years old this is still a critical life skill. I know they will be especially for the shopping cart! I can't wait to see the looks of their faces when they see it.”

  • Give Our Reading a Boost!

    Funded May 17, 2023

    Thank you so much! The science of reading has proven just how crucial decodable readers are for our emergent readers. Not only are they shown to increase reading levels they have been shown to increase students confidence in reading which leads to students becoming life long readers. These books will benefit students for many years to come.”

  • Getting on Level

    Funded Oct 27, 2022

    Thank you so much for these books for our classroom library. I couldn't believe the range of reading levels my students are at this year. I was completely overwhelmed and unprepared. Your generous gift allowed me to expand my library and serve all of my students at their reading levels and the levels they have grown to. I never have to worry about a gap in their reading because of you and your gift. As a first year teacher these books will also be with me for many years to come, inspiring many, many students to fall in love with reading.”

    Ms. Mary

  • Help Keep My Students Sharp

    Funded Oct 26, 2022

    Pencils often seem like such a small part of a classroom, but the impact the pencils you purchased for our classroom has been HUGE! Parents have been grateful that they have not had to send new pencils weekly with their students and I haven't had to purchase any on my own.

    These pencils are used every single day, for everything in my classroom, even for recess! With it being so cold in Chicago right now we've been able to do directed draws, that my students absolutely love, and according to them their art work turns out best with a fresh pencil and eraser. I included a picture of some of my students taking a spelling test. Spelling tests are the first thing we do on Friday mornings. It takes a lot of stress off of both me and my students knowing we have plenty of pencils ready to go and we can get right into our test and then on to our Fun Fridays!”

    Funded Feb 20, 2023

    Thank you for your generous gift to my classroom! I can’t wait to get to school tomorrow and tell the students! They are going to be so excited! I’m blown away by how much they all love reading, and new books are always their favorite. These books will be really well loved this year and for many years to come. Thank you again!”

  • Help Our Reading Levels Soar

    Funded Jan 23, 2023

    I can't wait to walk into my classroom tomorrow and share with my students that more books will be coming soon. We recently did our middle of the year testing and many of my students are already above grade level. With your generous gift the sky is truly the limit for them!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Mary

  • Print It Out!

    Funded Nov 4, 2022

    Thank you for funding my project. I am so excited to finally have a printer in my classroom! The uses for this printer are endless. My students will be able to make copies of their digital work to share with their families. I'll be able to differentiate my lessons at the last minute by printing out worksheets for different groups of students, and I will be able to use many more resources to create engaging lessons for my students!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Mary
