  • Engaging Rug for Learning!

    Funded Sep 4, 2024

    I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity! The students walked into the room and saw the rug and immediately were excited and hurried to sit on it! The look of surprise and excitement on their faces was priceless! They are now able to enjoy sitting on the rug to learn! This has increased engagement with their peers, provided a comfortable learning environment, and allowed the students to find their spot on the rug. The students are using the rug to have meaningful conversations with their peers and teachers and for all subject areas. Rather than sitting behind a desk, they are able to engage on the rug during learning periods which is located closely to our learning materials.

    Thank you again for providing a comfortable and engaging learning environment for our students. We are truly grateful!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. De Simone

  • Easily Learning With an Easel!

    Funded Sep 12, 2023

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Easily Learning with an Easel!" With the use of an Easel, I have been able to facilitate Small Group Instruction for my students. Students have been utilizing the Easel during Reading, Writing, Math, and Word Study. It has been a positive influence that they have access to everyday to help further individualize their education to meet their needs. Not only has this Easel impacted Small Group instruction, but also Whole Class instruction by using it to read with Big Books and holding important charts for learning.

    All students learn differently, and providing the students with an Easel opened up learning opportunities for all students. The use of the Easel in my classroom provides opportunities for multiple facets of learning.

    Again, thank you for your donation. My children's faces lit up when the Easel arrived! My class and I are very grateful!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. De Simone

  • Gift Special Smiles! Small Group Table for Collaborative Learning!

    Funded Aug 24, 2023

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward "Gifting Special Smiles!" With the use of a Small Group Table, I have been able to facilitate Small Group Instruction. Students have benefited from the use of being able to work with each other to help build their Letter Recognition/Sounds, improve their Math skills, and perform Guided Reading and Partner Reading. It has been a positive influence that they have access to everyday to help further individualize their education to meet their needs.

    All students learn differently, and providing the students with a Small Group Table opened up learning opportunities for students who need more individualized learning.

    Again, thank you for your donation. My children's faces lit up when the Group Table arrived! They always ask to sit and join the Small Group Table to learn! Your kindness has greatly impacted the students in my class. My class and I are very grateful.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. De Simone
