Rain, Rain, Go Away!
Funded Dec 14, 2023By living and teaching in Colorado, we get a variety of inclement weather. This results in many inside recess days. My students were super excited to unbox all of the new learning games for our inside recess cabinet! They helped open and organize the games along with explaining to each other how to play the new games.
We are currently working on our animal research projects so my 2nd grades are excited to use the animal cards and puzzles. With the possibility of having inside recess days any time of year, our class will have so many opportunities to have fun while learning at the same time!”

Learning With Brainpop Jr.
Funded Feb 19, 2023Thank you so much for your support and donations. With your donations, our second grade class was able to get a subscription to BrainPOP Jr. The videos BrainPOP Jr. provides are engaging and allow us to use technology to enhance learning! The videos cover all content areas and serve as an introduction to new skills. My students love taking the quick quiz after each video to shown what they know! Once again, I would like to thank you for believing in my second graders and for your generous donations.”

Students, Supplies, Success, Oh My!
Funded Jan 18, 2023First off, thank you so much for investing in my students and their learning! Through your donations we received many wonderful supplies that have been used daily since receiving our package.
My students love getting packages and helping unbox our supplies. They helped in finding the perfect spot for our supplies where every student would have access to them. The clipboards are used every day throughout the day providing students a sturdy workplace. We have used the magnetic letters in small groups and for spelling practice. Having the colored letters has helped students recognize spelling patterns.
Our next steps are to have these supplies ready to go for next year. I liked how my students choose great places for these supplies where every learner can access them.”

Shrug, We Need a Rug!!
Funded Oct 11, 2022I like to share the projects I am working on with my students so they know what it is we are in need of and how it will impact our classroom and learning. They were so excited to learn that our rug had been delivered and couldn't wait for me to get it to the classroom and show them! A few students even offered to stay after school to help rearrange desks and help me place the rug.
My students use the rug every day from; morning meetings, to inside recess play spot, to a place where we come together to learn math or work in partners. My students now have a place they can lay while working on their laptops. One of my favorite use of the rug would be having them come together on the rug for a read aloud!
Our current project is trying to get a subscription to Brainpop Jr. This subscription will provide engaging and interactive learning videos for all content areas. Technology has become so important in the classroom and these videos make for a fun opening to a variety of lessons.”
