Cleanliness and Rewards!

Funded Apr 11, 2024

I am beyond thrilled to inform you that the supplies we requested through the Donors Choose grant have arrived, and they have already made a significant impact in our classroom. The tissues, Clorox wipes, band-aids, and candy have been put to good use by both myself and my students.

One specific project that we have implemented using these supplies is the creation of a health and wellness corner in our classroom. We have placed the tissues and Clorox wipes near the entrance so that students can easily grab them to keep themselves and their workspace clean and germ-free. The band-aids have also come in handy for minor cuts and scrapes that occur during our hands-on learning activities. And of course, the candy has served as a small reward for students who go above and beyond in their schoolwork.

When my students first saw the materials, their eyes lit up with excitement. They were thrilled to see that their needs were being taken care of and that they would have access to these supplies whenever they needed them. Their reactions reaffirmed my belief that even the smallest gestures can make a big difference in a child's life.

As for our next steps in the classroom, we are currently working on module 4 in our curriculum which consists of a "reducing plastic pollution" project that involves students handling plastic waste. With the help of the Clorox wipes, we are able to keep our classroom and other project areas clean and sanitary, ensuring that our students have the best chance to thrive. The band-aids have also been a source of comfort for students who may get a little scrape from handling waste.

Overall, your generous donation has truly transformed our classroom environment and has allowed us to focus on our learning goals without worrying about basic supplies. I cannot thank you enough for your support, and I know that my students feel the same way. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of these young learners.”

With gratitude,
