Mrs.'s Home Away from Home Classroom!

Funded Aug 14, 2024

Every year I go in with a laundry list of things I need for my classroom. Sometimes, I'm so overwhelmed by that list because I know there's SO much that's needed that is not provided by the district because of lack of resources. When I first decided to make a project on Donors Choose, I didn't know what to expect. Truly, it was a shot in the dark. I made the list, and forgot about it, expecting to have to scramble to find a way to get my students what they need. Then, I got the notification that my entire classroom project was funded.

There are no words to adequately express what this means to me and my students. They are so used to being told, "No" or "We don't have that." What you said to them through funding my classroom is, "Yes!" They are so happy with the resources they have available to them in the classroom. Yesterday we read, "Bad Boy" by Walter Dean Myers and they used the reading strips to follow along while reading and then additionally as a bookmark! They can learn in a space where they feel valued and nurtured. It is truly a home away from home classroom. THANK YOU!”

With gratitude,
