Listen Up Class
Funded Dec 2, 2022Thank you very much for being so kind and supporting education. In this day and age of technology and online as well as in person learning HEADPHONES ARE A MUST! Students are back in person and using many online tools. They read, take quizzes, do research, practice speaking English and write poetry all on the computer. This makes for a busy, engaged and somewhat noisy environment. Headphones help them concentrate and immerse themselves in the world of reading, writing, math, science and social studies. I truly appreciate your support!”

Funded Sep 25, 2022We are constantly reading and analyzing texts. Highlighters help us focus on the key words and thoughts. The flourescent yellow color truly helps words pop! Students begin the year with highlighters but due to use they need replacements. Your generous gift provided fresh highlighters for the entire grade level of 3 classes.
Headphones are a MUST HAVE. Students sit in close proximity to each other and need privacy and the ability to concentrate. Personal headphones help them immerse themselves into the world of Reading, Science, and Social Studies. They are able to really focus on whatever they are listening to or researching. Thank you very much for your generosity!”

My Own H2O on the Go!
Funded Aug 27, 2022Thank you so for being so generous! The entire 4th grade class appreciates it! We had enough refillable water bottles for all 3 classes. The students are so proud of having their own refillable water bottle. We put their names on them with a Cricut. They are hydrating more and staying healthier thanks to you all. Our South Texas weather can be very hot. Our campus is open air and therefore we are outside quite often. The students go to daily recess and have physical education all week. They are staying cool and hydrated as well as developing healthy habits thanks to you.”

Funded May 4, 2022I am extremely grateful for your generosity. We were able to begin the school year with headphones for all. The students use them all throughout the day. They are high quality and the students are taking good care of them. The beginning of the school year can be expensive for families. They buy school supplies and uniforms. These headphones helped alleviate the cost for our families. These students can concentrate on their programs and work without distractions from their neighbors computers. You have made their school experience that much better. Thank you!”

Funded Dec 29, 2021H2O on the Go has become a reality! Thanks to your generosity our students now each have refillable bottles for water. The drinking fountains have been locked since the Pandemic began and the only opportunity to drink water during the day is with a refillable container,
Not only are we hydrating our students we are also saving the planet by producing less waste. The bottles are clean, washable, refillable, and easy to carry. It makes me proud to see students using their water bottles on a daily basis!”

Funded Sep 20, 2021Thank you so much for your help in getting headphones for my students! They use their computer and work on programs that can be loud at times. The headphones ensure that they don't distract each other and can concentrate on their own work more easily. The students rotate and travel to four different classrooms. These lightweight and portable headphones can travel easily with them. When other students visit my class and don't have headphones I have extras to lend them. Students can truly immerse themselves in the digital world without distractions.”

Clean Air EVERYWHERE!
Funded Aug 12, 2021Thank you so much for your generosity! My students were learning remotely for almost a year and now that we are back in person school many have shown apprehension and nervousness over being out of the house and around so many other students. They are excited but nervous. The air purifier is on all day and honestly that little blue light symbolizes purified air for all of us. It is one more way to make my students feel comfortable and safe in each other's company. Our classroom is a small portable building and there is no way to keep a 6 foot space between us. Comfortable, confident students are in the right frame of mind to learn and grow. Thank you for making our classroom a safer learning environment!”

Funded Aug 22, 2021Thank you so much for helping my students and I feel SAFE during these strange COVID times. These desk shields are lightweight and free standing. The students can see me and the lesson I am sharing but are protected from air born germs. My classroom is a small portable building and I have 19 students. There is no possible way for the students to practice social distancing. 6 feet apart is impossible.
My students are young but they are very aware of the dangers of COVID and seemed nervous and apprehensive when we came back to in person school. These shields give them the peace of mind to relax and learn.”

COLOR OUR World With Print
Funded Aug 17, 2021Thank you SO MUCH for your generosity! My students can create original stories, drawings and poems and see them come to life in COLOR! They can research topics of interest and insert graphics in color as well! This printer really helps validate their creativity. This shows them that what they create is worth saving and sharing with the world. We can display their work proudly. Their work can be collated and placed in an original portfolio that will surely become a keepsake. Some of my 4th graders were with me in 1st grade 3 years ago and some still have their original work and have brought them to share with the class. This proves that this work can become cherished keepsakes thanks to you and your generosity.”

Funded Nov 17, 2020We may be APART but we gather on-line to enjoy novels every day for at least half an hour at the end of the day. I have already read 7 novels to my students so far. This collection of books is full of options! I can read to them or let them borrow these books. We are keeping the JOY of Reading alive! You have been so generous! We all truly appreciate these books and the ability to keep Reading and Learning. The wonderful thing about this collection of books is that some of them are our favorites and others are new to us. We can expand our book repertoire.”
