  • Promoting Academic Engagement Through Play Edit

    Funded Feb 5, 2025

    I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation that allowed me to purchase a new classroom carpet and toys for our second graders. Your kindness and support have had an incredible impact on our classroom, and I am truly thankful for your contribution to our students' learning environment.

    The new classroom carpet has already made a world of difference in our daily activities. In a classroom full of energetic and curious second graders, having a comfortable and inviting space for reading, group work, and activities has created an atmosphere where students feel relaxed and engaged. The carpet not only adds a sense of warmth and organization to our room, but it also provides a designated area for students to gather and collaborate. It has become a focal point for our circle time discussions, where we share ideas, read together, and build connections as a class. Having this space has helped to foster a sense of community and belonging, which is so important for young learners.

    Beyond the physical space, the carpet has allowed us to develop more interactive and hands-on learning opportunities. Students now have a comfortable place to sit and engage with lessons in a way that promotes focus and participation. Whether it's during morning meetings, story time, or small group activities, the carpet serves as a gathering space where students can collaborate and contribute to discussions. It has truly elevated the learning experience for everyone in the class, and we couldn't be happier with how it's enhancing our day-to-day activities.

    Additionally, the toys you helped provide have been an amazing addition to our classroom as well. These educational toys have not only sparked joy among the students but have also supported the development of critical skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork. From play dough to board games, these toys are helping to foster a love for learning and play in ways that make the classroom experience both enjoyable and educational. It's been wonderful to see students working together, sharing ideas, and using their imagination as they explore the possibilities these toys provide.

    Your donation has made such a positive difference in the lives of my second graders. These new additions to the classroom are more than just physical objects—they represent an investment in the joy of learning, in the relationships we are building, and in the growth of these young minds. The excitement and enthusiasm in the classroom have been contagious, and the students are thriving in an environment that feels more nurturing, engaging, and inclusive.

    Thank you once again for your generosity and support. You have helped to create a classroom where students feel inspired, motivated, and excited about learning. Your contribution has made a lasting impact, and we are beyond grateful for the difference you've made in the lives of our second graders.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Viviano

  • Technology for Second Graders!

    Funded Feb 1, 2025

    I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation to our classroom. Your support has truly made a difference in the learning experience of each student, and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and commitment to helping our classroom thrive.

    With your donation, we were able to acquire a much-needed projector, a color printer, and headphones—resources that will greatly enhance both teaching and learning. The addition of the projector is already having a significant impact on our lessons. It allows me to present content in a more dynamic and interactive way, ensuring that students are engaged and able to visualize complex concepts. Whether it's showing educational videos, presenting interactive lessons, or displaying student work for peer review, the projector has opened up new opportunities for creativity and collaboration.

    The color printer has been another game-changer. It enables us to print out materials, assignments, and projects in vibrant color, making the learning process more engaging and visually appealing. Students now have access to high-quality printouts of their work, which not only boosts their pride in their accomplishments but also helps to illustrate important concepts in ways that black and white materials simply cannot. It has made a world of difference in how we present information and encourages students to take their projects to the next level.

    The headphones you provided have also been a game-changer for our classroom. In today's digital age, much of our learning is enriched by online resources, and headphones have allowed my students to immerse themselves in these resources without distractions. Whether it's for listening to language lessons, watching educational videos, or completing listening exercises in class, the headphones ensure that every student has a chance to focus and engage with the material. This has been especially helpful for students who benefit from a quieter learning environment, providing them with the tools they need to succeed.

    Your generosity has not only improved the quality of education in our classroom, but it has also contributed to creating a more inclusive and positive learning environment. The students are beyond excited to have access to these new tools, and I can already see the difference it's making in their motivation and excitement for learning. You've helped to inspire them, showing them that there are people out there who care about their education and well-being. Your gift has ignited their curiosity and empowered them to take their learning further, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

    Thank you once again for your kindness and for making such a tangible difference in our classroom. Your support has had a profound impact, and I am beyond thankful for everything you've provided. We are excited to continue learning, growing, and achieving with the tools you've given us.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Viviano

  • Flexible Seating for Second Grade

    Funded May 30, 2024

    We wanted to take the time to thank you for your generous donation. With the supplies you gifted our classroom, we are able to offer flexible seating to our students. Students are asked to spend so much time in school sitting in one place which is hard for any young kid, but especially kids with special needs. With your donations our students have the flexibility to make a seating choice that will not only help them learn, but help them self regulate. We can't wait to continue using these tools in second grade!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Viviano

  • A New Class Carpet

    Funded Sep 22, 2022

    Class 1E can't thank you enough for helping us get a new carpet. We have been listening to stories, having morning meetings and getting to engage in group activities all because of you! When our students walked in and saw we had a new carpet they couldn't contain their excitement. We wished you could have been there to see their faces, but we've included a picture and a thank you letter from them to extend their thank you. Teaching is a demanding profession on so many levels. Without people like you supporting us, we wouldn't be able to do the work that we do. It really does take a village.

    Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Viviano
