  • New Books!

    Funded Apr 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! The students absolutely loved the journals! It was so nice to be able to have them write their own notes for lessons. What did they want to learn? What did they need to know to understand a concept? These journals helped with just that! We used them often throughout the day, and all the students took them home to study their notes before the big end of year test. We are beyond delighted with your donation and I simply cannot thank you enough for the generosity.”

  • More Reading!

    Funded Apr 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation of more books for our little classroom library! We love having options of different genres and authors to pick our very best books for read to self time! We also love being able to share those books with our classmates and friends. These new books are just what we were looking to add to the library as there is a variety of genres and authors. We especially love reading more biographies, and these new ones happen to be a favorite, especially the book about Simone Biles!”

  • Math Is Fun!

    Funded Apr 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! These centers are so fun and, as an extra added bonus, they are being used throughout kindergarten through second grade! We have such a wide range of student academic levels, that I have created a center check out in my room. Teachers in kindergarten through second grade can come and check out phonics and math centers that will directly, positively impact their students! This is such a wonderful way for you to reach as many students as you can, and you have done just that!”

  • Phonics for Fun!

    Funded Mar 28, 2024

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation for the phonics centers. My students love their phonics centers and with your generous donation, they will be able to have new ones! These stations reinforce the students phonics skills where they can work on them independently. These centers are big enough to be split up so multiple students can use them at one time. These centers are specific for little hands, so they are durable and large enough that even students that need occupational therapy, or are receiving occupational therapy, can easily use them.”

  • Journals for Notes!

    Funded Jan 25, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! These notebooks are just what our fifth grade students need for learning how to take notes on important subjects. So far, they have used them for science and math. They are just so delighted that they can write down what they feel like they need to learn for the subject that is being taught. These notebooks have made them feel like such grown up students. This is such an important step for our kids to take in their educational journey and I just cannot thank you enough for allowing them the tools to take it.”

  • Ready, Set, Goal!

    Funded Jan 4, 2024

    Thank you for your very generous donation to our soccer program at our school. We have an amazing group of kids that are here every day and work hard during the school day. And we have a wonderful group of teachers who are dedicating their time outside of school to make a difference in each of these kids lives as well. These corner flags and cones will help expand our students soccer ability, and help make them more agile when playing the game. This will also help with our actual game at the end of the season. This has been our first year with this soccer program and with the success we have seen, we will be doing it for years to come. You generous donation of supplies will help so many students.”

  • New Resources!

    Funded May 9, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! These resources are for student led goals and for each teacher to have a binder with their students listed. Each binder has goals personalized for each student and the student can record and track their own goal! The index card holders are for students that need extra help with sight words. These holders will hold all the words they know, and the words they are working on knowing. The journals will be for vocabulary words and comprehension of the books that they are reading on their own. I cannot tell you how much this means to the students that will receive these! They LOVE tracking their goal and meeting them. They love to have their words available for them to read quickly, and the journals will help with their "book reviews" that they are able to present to the class!”

  • Recess Equipment!

    Funded Mar 21, 2023

    First of all I wanted to let you know just how grateful and appreciative my class and I are of your generous donation. When the new materials arrived there was a lot of clapping and excitement! At our school we have different recess areas to maintain safety during the recess time, so we are not always at the playgrounds. We have alternate recess areas, but there is not equipment for the kids to play with there. This new recess equipment has made every recess location a fun one! My girls and boys are so in love with all of it, it is hard for them to decide what they want to play with!”

My students enjoy quality reading time during reading workshop. They like to take their books and a pillow to a favorite spot around the room and read. During this time they put in their best work to grow their reading stamina and the ability to read to themselves using all the strategies that we, as a whole class, work on daily. Individual reading time is so important in the growth of these young minds. Plastic bags rip often and need to be replaced continuously. If we had these plastic book bins, my students could keep the books that they "shop" for and pick out themselves neat and orderly, never worrying that they've lost a book through a hole in a bag.
