• Get Ready! Get Organized! Get to Learning!

  Funded Oct 10, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom! The large area rug, laminating sheets, and magnetic eraser whiteboard have already had a wonderful impact on our learning environment. We've been using the large area rug for group activities and reading sessions, which has created a cozy and inviting space where students can engage more actively. One memorable moment was during a collaborative math activity, where students worked together in small groups on the rug, solving problems and sharing strategies. The change of setting helped foster a sense of teamwork and creativity, and the students were so excited to have a designated space for collaboration.

  When the students first saw the materials, their excitement was contagious! They immediately claimed their spots on the rug and eagerly explored the new tools. The magnetic eraser whiteboard has been a game changer for quick brainstorming and interactive lessons. Students love how easy it is to write, erase, and revise ideas on the spot. And the laminating sheets have been invaluable for preserving important charts, flashcards, and learning aids, allowing us to use them for years to come. The students are especially enjoying the opportunity to interact with the materials in new and engaging ways.

  Looking ahead, we plan to continue using the rug for more hands-on, interactive learning sessions. The laminating sheets will be put to good use in creating durable resources for future lessons, and the magnetic whiteboard will continue to support our daily practice and problem-solving activities. These resources are helping to create a more dynamic and engaging classroom environment, and we're excited to see how they will support the continued growth of our students.”

• Happy Hearts & Healthy Minds

  Funded Oct 17, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! The Learning Conversation Cubes and the Social-Emotional Classroom Activity Kit have already made a meaningful impact on our students' social and emotional learning. We've been using the Conversation Cubes during our morning meetings to help students practice sharing their thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. One memorable moment was when students took turns rolling the cubes and responding to prompts like "What makes you feel proud?" or "How do you handle frustration?" It led to a rich discussion, and I could see how much the students enjoyed opening up and listening to one another.

  The students were absolutely thrilled when they first saw the materials! They loved the interactive nature of the Conversation Cubes and how they encouraged each of them to participate in the conversation. The Social-Emotional Classroom Activity Kit has also been a big hit, especially the "Feelings Bingo" and "Kindness Journal" activities. The students are excited to engage with the kit each week, and I've already noticed an increase in their ability to recognize and talk about their emotions, as well as a growing sense of empathy toward their peers.

  Looking ahead, we plan to continue using the Conversation Cubes during our daily check-ins to foster open dialogue and build stronger communication skills. We'll also dive deeper into the activities from the Social-Emotional Classroom Activity Kit, focusing on how to manage emotions and build positive relationships. These resources are truly helping our students grow emotionally and socially, and I look forward to seeing the lasting impact they'll have on their development.”

• Get Organized, Get Balanced, Get to Learning!

  Funded Nov 25, 2024

  I want to sincerely thank you for your generous contribution to our classroom! The Kids Balance Ball Chair, Magnetic Dry Erase Marker Holder, and Magnetic Pocket Chart Squares have already had a positive impact on our students' learning experience. The balance ball chair has especially helped my students who need a little extra movement throughout the day. One memorable moment was when a student who typically struggles with focus was able to sit comfortably on the balance ball, which helped them stay more engaged during our math lessons. It's been incredible to see how these resources are supporting students' comfort and focus.

  The students were so excited when they first saw the new materials! The balance ball chair was a big hit—everyone wanted to try it out, and I noticed a shift in energy as they discovered how fun and helpful it was for staying focused. The Magnetic Dry Erase Marker Holder has also been a game changer, keeping our supplies organized and within reach as we use whiteboards for quick brainstorming and problem-solving activities. And the Magnetic Pocket Chart Squares have made our classroom routines more interactive, allowing students to visually organize and categorize words, phrases, and even math problems on the board.

  Looking ahead, we plan to use the balance ball chairs more regularly to support students who need a movement break, while continuing to incorporate the dry erase board activities to reinforce math concepts and spelling. The Magnetic Pocket Chart Squares will be key in our upcoming lessons, where students will be working in groups to create word families and categorize vocabulary terms. These new tools are making learning more engaging, and I can't wait to see how they continue to support our students' growth in the coming weeks.”

• Show, Share and & Tell!

  Funded Oct 6, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! The multiplication flashcards, Learning Resources Adjustable Chart Stand, and Math Vocabulary Word flashcards have already made a noticeable difference in our learning environment. We've been using the flashcards during daily math warm-ups, and the students love the interactive nature of the activities. One moment that stands out is when the students took turns using the chart stand to display different math vocabulary terms, creating a visual aid that helped reinforce their understanding. It's been wonderful to see how much more engaged they are with the material now that they have these tools.

  When the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was palpable! They immediately began using the multiplication flashcards in pairs, challenging each other to race through different sets of problems. The adjustable chart stand has become a central part of our math lessons, allowing students to display and discuss key concepts as a class. The Math Vocabulary Word flashcards are being used for quick reviews and even as a fun way to quiz each other in small groups. It's clear that these resources are making learning both more interactive and more fun.

  Looking ahead, we're excited to build on the foundation these materials have provided. We plan to continue using the flashcards for more advanced multiplication practice, while also incorporating the vocabulary cards into mini-lessons that will help reinforce math terminology in context. These tools are helping our students develop a deeper understanding of the subject, and we can't wait to see how they apply these skills to more complex math problems in the weeks ahead.”

• Rock & Rolling Through Hands on Learning

  Funded Oct 6, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous contribution! The new resources—especially the dice for math games and the wooden mailbox organizer—have already made a huge impact in our classroom. We've been using the dice to engage students in interactive math games that reinforce their understanding of key concepts like addition, subtraction, and multiplication. One memorable moment was when students worked in pairs to roll the dice and create equations, competing to solve them the fastest. It was such an energizing way to practice math while encouraging friendly competition and collaboration.

  The students were thrilled when they first saw the materials. They immediately started imagining how they could use the dice for different types of games, and the mailbox organizer became an instant favorite for keeping track of homework and important forms. The students love that they can easily retrieve and submit their assignments, helping them stay more organized and responsible.

  Looking ahead, we plan to build on the math games by incorporating more complex challenges as the students' skills grow. They're also becoming more independent with managing their homework through the mailbox organizer, which will help them stay on top of assignments and deadlines. Your support is truly making a difference, and I can't wait to see how these resources continue to inspire and enhance our learning!”
