Strong Start Supplies for an Awesome Year!
Funded Aug 17, 2020Wow! I am overwhelmed with your gratitude and generosity in support of my students. This school year will truly be unique in so many ways, but I am so thankful to have incredible supporters to help lead us as we begin the year remotely.
It has not been easy to be a teacher right now. We are constantly learning new platforms and new ideas while the structures of our schools and classrooms are rapidly changing. However, one thing is for certain... we do this for our students to help support their learning and growth.
Because of your support, I do not have to worry about my students having access to high-quality materials. My students will be able to learn both at home and at school (when we can finally return to the classroom!) because of your help. So, thank you! Each student will receive their own supply bag for at-home learning and these supplies will eventually be brought into the classroom so each student has their own individual supplies to limit the amount of shared items.
Again, thank you for your continued support of my students! As I prepare to begin the school year remotely, I feel confident knowing that access to materials will not be a barrier to my students' learning. Thank you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Kirshenbaum
This classroom project was brought to life by A Generous Donor and 15 other donors.Books for All: Culturally Relevant Books for Classroom Library
Funded Oct 12, 2018Thank you so much for your support in helping me build a culturally-relevant library for my young readers! Research proves that when children see themselves represented in the books that they read, they will be more likely to feel affirmed in their identity. Your donation provided my classroom a much-needed upgrade and allowed me to include picture books and chapter books with characters of color! I am excited to continue developing my classroom library for years to come and I appreciate your support in helping me start my teaching career!”

Know Yoga, Know Peace
Funded Feb 7, 2020Thank you so much for supporting my yoga-club start up! With your donation, I was able to purchase 12 yoga mats, 12 blocks, resistance bands, and healthy snacks to begin a yoga club at my school!
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the yoga club was only able to meet one time; but the ladies who joined had a wonderful experience! I am excited to be able to continue to use these yoga materials for years to come to continue my school's yoga club. It is important that my students have access to free after-school programming and your support made this happen. In the next school year, I hope to expand the yoga club to include more students so that all who want can participate in this calming, community-driven activity!
Thank you!”

Creating Classroom Culture: Social-Emotional Success
Funded Aug 27, 2019Thank you so much for your support in helping us foster social emotional learning in our classroom! Your donation has helped bring joy to our day by providing students with manipulatives to help support their academic and personal growth.
We use our crayons and colored pencils frequently to support art projects and learning in the classroom. These art supplies our favorite part of the donation package! We always ask if we can use these items to color, and we've seen so much creativity blossom through access to art supplies. We have also started reflection journals where students have an opportunity to write a message/draw a picture, and I get to respond back to them. This is an excellent way for students to learn to communicate through written word and practice their writing skills. We have had so much fun in using our art supplies to help us express their emotions and feelings. Thank you!
We greatly appreciate your help in ensuring that we have access to materials to support our learning!”
