Classroom Learning Environment
Funded Aug 14, 2024Thank you so much for helping me fund this project. You helping me fund this project has really made a positive impact on my teaching this year.
I started this school year with very limited supplies. However, now I really feel like I have what is needed to create the classroom environment I have been hoping for.
The rug helped create a space for students to come together for a circle activity or to be able to come closer to the board to increase the ability to learn. Always staying in their seats seemed to provide very little variety, so the rug has helped a lot.
The colored printer has been really good to help students supplies be more colorful. I do have a black and white paper, but always having printed paper for them in gray or black and white made it feel a little dull. The scoring guides for my reading class has more color now, which is much better visually.
It is also really good that I have a desk and chair now. It helps provide me a space to work, and also helps so I can work with students individually if needed.
Finally, the snacks help give a good reward for students, especially at the end of the quarter.
Overall, having this project get funded helped my classroom so much. I feel like it has been a great school year because of it, so thank you so much.”

Funded Apr 5, 2024Thank you so much for helping me get the laminator and backpack storage cart for my classroom.
Before receiving the backpack storage cart, my students had to place their backpacks on their chairs or inside a bookshelf, which was not ideal for organization. The backpack storage cart has helped improved the classroom organization.
The laminator has also been very beneficial. Previously, the papers I provided to my students would often fall apart and get lost. With the ability to laminate checklists and other important resources, my students can now keep these materials intact and readily accessible. This helps them stay organized and ensures they are able to follow their checklists effectively. Additionally, I have used the laminator to create durable visuals to hang around the classroom.
I truly do appreciate your support in providing these essential tools for my classroom.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Steele
