• Centers for Skill Building in ELA and Math

  Funded Nov 30, 2022

  First and Foremost I would like to thank you for your support and dedication to our students learning and academic success. You are making a difference in the lives of our students on a daily basis. I would like to start off by saying that when the materials arrived to our classroom my students were very excited to see what we received! Once I took out the materials and explained to them how they would be used, they were overjoyed and excited. I would also like to share a little bit about how we have used the resources from our project in the classroom. The main purpose of our project was to have the materials we needed in order to create skill specific centers for our students to use during lessons. These centers create a hands on experience for all of our learners and their abilities. These centers have been such a great way for our students to learn! Not only are they learning the material, they are also more engaged and focused during the lesson. The paper, laminating sheets and paper trimmer are being used to create these learning centers for our students. We have created different reading and math centers based on the lessons and skills we are targeting every week. As for the privacy boards, they have been very helpful in creating a space in which distractions are minimal and our students can focus while doing their work. Our next lesson in ELA will be adverbs and our students can't wait to work on their new center! Once again, thank you so much for all your support.”

• See It, Do It, Master It!

  Funded Aug 3, 2022

  First and foremost I would love to thank you for your support! Our new magnetic dry erase board has made a big difference in our students learning. As a teacher I am able to use the board to model lessons in math, reading, writing, spelling and more. My students are able to interact with their learning by coming to the board and showing the skills they have learned. They are able to put up magnets with words, number sentences, characters, setting, and so much more. They love the lessons we are now able to create and are excited to get up and participate. Since we received our board I have noticed that my students are more engaged in the lessons and their academics are improving! Thank you so much for gifting this opportunity to my students and believing in them! You have made a difference in the lives of all my kiddos.”

• Comfortable Seating for Confident Minds!

  Funded Jan 9, 2022

  First and foremost I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your support! You have had such a positive impact on my students and their learning. Thanks to your support our students had the opportunity to learn in a safe and comfortable environment. When the flexible seating arrived into our classroom our students were so excited! We immediately opened it up and began using it. My students are still young and need movement throughout the day, this flexible seating allowed them the movement without the distraction of getting up and out of their assigned seat. My students were even able to use the seating around the room and they loved that now they had that option. Now my students can focus on their work and are excited to do so with their new comfortable seating! Thank you for believing in our students! You have helped shape the future generation and provided them a love for learning within our classroom!”

• Engaging Resources to the Rescue!

  Funded Dec 1, 2021

  First and foremost we would like to thank you for all your support, we couldn't have done it without you! You have provided our students with engaging, hands on lessons that have helped them blossom this year. Some of the activities they have been able to use are sentence building activities, spelling tic tac toe, 10 more or 10 less, and literacy activities to support our weekly units. They have not only gotten to do the lessons but they were engaged and excited about the new activities. Our students have become better writers, they have improved on their spelling, they have become mathematicians, and fluent readers. The activities have helped our students improve their overall comprehension and it has been an incredible change. Not only are their grades improving but so is their self esteem! I have seen my students light bulb turn on as they work through their activities. These changes couldn't have been possible without you! You have had such a positive impact on our student. Thank you! Thank you for believing in them!”

• Cultivating Curiosity!

  Funded Feb 3, 2021

  I would like to start off by saying thank you! We couldn't have gotten our Cozy Cabana without your help and support! This cozy cabana has made a great difference in the little ones learning throughout the year! Our students now have the opportunity to engage with the outdoors in a safe and comfortable way. The students are able to go outside during recess and use the Cozy Cabana to learn, observe and grow while they interact with nature. Whether they are using it to rest, read or reinforce concepts learned in class, it is teaching them about the wonderful world we live in and helping them cultivate a love for our planet. Many little ones say they want to become scientists and this is helping them learn and grow to achieve their dreams! Thank you for making their dreams come true!”

• Creating Classroom Community!

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  First and foremost I would like to thank you for your generosity! Your donations to our classroom created a huge impact within our students. With the materials I was able to create shirts, personalize materials and personalize gifts. The shirts we made our students were for different occasions throughout the year. The students loved their matching shirts and loved matching with us as well. These shirts helped our students understand that although we had to keep our distance we were still in it together! We were also able to personalize our students chair pockets and end of year gifts. Thank you so much for creating a sense of community and unity throughout a difficult time, we appreciate your dedication to our classroom!”

  First and foremost I would like to thank you for all of your support! Our students have resources, that help them learn, within their reach thanks to your generosity. The books in our project have helped our students learn the beauty in books. These books have opened the doors to a whole new world.

Having the books has provided them opportunities to practice the skills they have learned and help them master those skills. Our kids will not only end the year mastering new skills but also loving to read books! You are the hero's of this story! Thank you for believing in our class!”
