Furniture to Showcase
Funded Nov 9, 2023I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I write this note to express my sincere thanks for your incredible support in providing my classroom with the much-needed supplies. Your generosity, including the Metal Stackable Kids Stools, 12-Drawers Rolling Storage Cart, 3 Tier Metal Rolling Cart, and other supplies has made a significant impact on my students' learning experience.
The organized storage allowed students easy access to a variety of materials, fostering creativity and making the entire process more enjoyable. The heavy duty 3 tiered cart has been a great place to store student water bottles and binders. They have been loving the convenience of somewhere to store their materials.The Metal Stackable Kids Stools provided comfortable seating, creating a conducive environment for discussions and group activities when they are seating at my half circle table.
I am thrilled to see the positive impact these supplies will continue to have on my students' education. Once again, thank you for making a difference in the lives of my students. Your kindness has created a lasting impact that extends far beyond the classroom.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Nugent
This classroom project was brought to life by General Motors & Young Sheldon on CBS and one other donor.Cozy Learning
Funded Jul 1, 2023Firstly, I would like to say thank you for your generous donation to my classroom. We are really grateful for the supplies that were included in this project.
These supplies have assisted in making our classroom environment a more comfortable and relaxed space. My students have been particularly happy with the carpet. Personally, I have enjoyed taking some down time with them to play games such as Uno or other math related games. They also have loved being able to use the foam couch and table on days where we have flexible seating options.
While it took some time to get these materials fully set up in our class, now that we have my students wanted to create thank you cards/letter. I'm happy to share them with you.”

Funded May 16, 2023Thank you again for your generous donation to my classroom. With the supplies we received, I had the materials I needed for students to engage in fun activities. In addition, the prizes and snack options were an absolute hit! Lastly, the TeachersPayTeachers gift card contribution was extremely exciting for me.
Some of the fun activities my students engaged in was a "Goodbye Math Workbook" and a Chose Board Math Project. We used the Astrobright Paper, Post-it Super Sticky Easel Pad, and the Post-it Pop-up Notes to make these projects come to life! It was very helpful to have these supplies on hand as my students can have a difficult time bringing in their own supplies to use. Secondly, the stickers and shoe charms were amazing incentives for my students! The sneaker stickers were an absolute hit! I am so glad this project was able to fund supplies that actually will motivate my students. Of course, it does without saying that the snacks were very popular. My afterschool students especially loved the Takis and Rice Crispy Tears. Lastly, I am so appreciative of the TPT gift card! I use the site often to purchase materials and support other teachers. I'm confident that with this gift card, I will be able to bring my students materials that are rigorous and engaging. It will also come in handy when I don't have a lot of prep time to prep my own materials.”

Funded Nov 4, 2022Thank you for your generous donation for these graphing supplies for my students. All of them have been extremely helpful in allowing my students to access the type of learning that comes about when working hands-on. From the notebooks to the erasers, it has been a pleasure being able to provide my students with the materials they need every day.
The graphing notebooks themselves resulted in such a motivation boost for my students. When I first distributed the notebooks, the students spent time decorating the covers to make them personalized to them. We have also pasted reference sheets inside the notebooks. This has allowed them to take personal responsibility for the notebooks. While they do store them in my classroom, they have been able to show their work to their families and caregivers at parent/teacher conferences. It has been amazing to see how proud they are of their notebooks. The pencils and erasers have been something my students have also enjoyed. Because of the number of erasers that were in the pack, I was able to share with other teachers to help reach more students.
The impact that has been made with these supplies is significant. We appreciate your donation greatly!”

Getting Started
Funded Nov 4, 2022My students and I are using these resources on a daily basis in my classroom. The bands on their desks have been extremely helpful, not only with my students who experience anxiety and fidgetiness in the classroom, but to all my students. One special aspect of the installation of these bands was that my students did the installations 100% on their own (with supervision of course). This really fostered teamwork, community, and responsibility.
My students were especially excited when they noticed the large pop-it multiplication charts. This was a way I motivated some of my students who can have a hard time following classroom expectation. It was also a motivation to other students because using them was seen as a positive reward. In addition, many students loved the pop-it balls. Having these on hand in the classroom has been such a help in allowing my students to have their hands busy while I'm teaching an important lesson.
These tools have been so valuable in more ways than their inherent use. The bands and their installation fostered a sense of teamwork and community. The charts were a way to incentivize students to follow expectations. The pop-it balls have been a way for them to focus on their content and take responsibility for small items. Thank you so much for your generosity. These tools will come in handy for years to come.”

A Clean Classroom is a Happy Classroom
Funded Oct 8, 2022My students and I are using the resources from this project every single day. My students sweep the classroom after every class period. They use both the broom with the long-handled dustpan. I think this was their favorite part of the project. Before we hand a hand-held dustpan (which was always complained about). Now that's a thing of the past! My students also use the Lysol spray daily to sanitize their desks, chairs, door handles, and other high traffic areas.
One of the greatest impacts it has had in my student attendance rates have been at 90% or above. I believe this is contributed to the cleanliness of the classroom (as well as the other classrooms who use the resources). I also (as their teacher) have not missed any days of the school year. I also contribute this to the sanitary environment.
This has a huge impact on student's learning and opportunities. Being present and healthy everyday allows me to have a greater impact. I am able to utilize every day of the school year to build relationships with my students. We are so appreciative of these supplies! I'm not sure how we would have made it through the cold/flu/covid/rsv season without them! Please see the attached pictures to see my amazing students making use of these supplies. Thank you!”
