Quality and Comfortable Headphones for Super Second-Graders!
Funded Dec 10, 2024Thank you so much for donating quality and comfortable headphones to my second grade class. My students are so grateful that you thought of them and chose them to donate to. They come from low-income families and every donation brings them so much joy.
These headphones are used daily by my students. They use them for the Lexia Reading program and the headphones have helped them improve their reading skills and is helping them learn how to read! I print out a Lexia certificate every time they complete a level and give them a small prize from my treasure box.
Thank you so much for your generosity! Have a wonderful day!”

2nd Grade Classroom Pet Essentials
Funded Jul 24, 2024Thank you so much for donating toward my 2nd grade classroom pet essentials. Your donations went toward a hamster cage, food, bedding, food bowl, and water holder. My class of twenty-five students love our hamster! They named her--Pumpkin, and earned her as a reward in October thanks to your generosity!
Pumpkin is sitting on a table in our "Calming Corner" area. This area is used to help students calm down when they get angry or upset. This area is also used for students who are working with a partner to complete work such as--reading a book together, doing a math activity together, writing a story, etc. Students are always asking to sit by Pumpkin to get their work done!
When my students first saw the hamster they were excited and joyful! Many of them do not have any pets at their homes and it brought a sense of curiosity and excitement. Pumpkin helped to teach our first science and reading unit on plants and habitats and how they survive. We had a real life example right in our classroom! So fun!
We will continue to care for Pumpkin, the class hamster by taking care of her by feeding her and changing her water daily and changing her bedding as needed. I also bought her a wheel to run on and the kids love watching her exercise!
In the future, I would like to purchase a ball that she can go inside and run inside our classroom during a special reward time so the students can see how fast hamsters can run!”

Educational Necessities for the 2024-2025 School Year
Funded Jun 4, 2024Thank you so much for donating to our second grade classroom! We are using the new resources daily in all subject areas--reading, writing, math, science, and social studies! Students really enjoyed making an "All About Me" project that was hung up in our hallway.
Students reacted well when they saw their supplies! They were very happy and grateful!
We are continuing our learning this month by using our supplies to learn about Animals and Plants in their Habitats (science and reading/writing) and we are working on adding and subtracting to 20 fluently in math.
Thank you so much for your kindness!”
