  • Learning through Life Cycles

    Funded Mar 6, 2021

    Thank you so very much for your donation to my classroom. The kids love the interactive globe. It is even more incredible than I could ever imagine. Students can learn about animals, landmarks, cuisine and so many other things. They all love to take a turn with it.

    This week we are going to begin our life cycle unit. We will be using the awesome new incubator. They are so interested in the life cycle models and the sea turtle book. I can't wait to share it all with them.

    Thank you so much for enhancing the first grade experience in my classroom. Bringing science and social studies to life in ways that students will always remember is such a gift. I can not thank you enough for making this happen for my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Palmer

  • Making Learning Grammar and Phonics Fun

    Funded Jan 2, 2019

    I have used the resources you helped fund for my classroom. They have made a huge difference in student learning. Jolly phonics has become an integral part of our first grade curriculum. Jolly phonics is a synthetic phonics program that has been highly successful. Anytime we can get more resources in the hands of students it helps build learning experiences. These resources have added fun to our curriculum while increasing skills and learning opportunities. I can't thank you enough. I always appreciate your kindness and generosity.”

  • Hatching Learning Opportunities

    Funded Apr 18, 2017

    Thank you so much for helping provide this opportunity for my students. We love being able to have a successful hatch and were able to candle the eggs easily throughout their development. It was so exciting to see the living embryos inside the eggs and compare them to the model kit that we have.

    The students were so excited to open the new classroom materials. The incubator has a large window so we can really see what is happening during hatching. They loves the new text and learning new information in the books. We not only were able to hatch chickens in our new incubator we also got to hatch ducks and turkeys. This was something so exciting that no other students in our school have been able to do before.

    This gift to my classroom will reach far beyond these 17 students. It will bring joy and learning to students for years to come. I simply can not thank you enough.”

  • Opening Opportunities Using a Doc Camera

    Funded Jan 3, 2017

    Thank you so much for the donation of a document camera for my classroom. It has made a huge difference for the kids. They are able to demonstrate their thinking when they are solving problems. They can show their work in a way that everyone can see. I am able to demonstrate directions on work, which is super helpful especially for our early readers. Students can read along in stories and we are able to investigate the author's craft and have genuine discussions about it. The document camera is used throughout the day in many ways. The kids are proud to see their work displayed. The students' work has become neater because they want to show their personal best. Being able to show math with manipulatives on a large screen helps the students to understand math concepts easier also. I could never thank you enough for the impact your donation has had to my classroom. Thank you for contributing to the students in my class.”
