    Funded Nov 14, 2024

    Thank you for donating to our project! Our kids have been so excited to use these resources. Surprisingly, the one item they enjoy the most is the vacuum cleaner! I have turned it into an incentive for completing work! Ever since I've done this, their participation has sky rocketed. The writing boards are also a big hit! They love using them because the rainbow colors, I love them because I don't have to worry about dry erase markers running out anymore so thank you for that! We are truly thankful to everyone that helped bring these resources into our classroom!”

  • New Year, New Technology!

    Funded May 6, 2024

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping get this project funded! This has tremendously helped my classroom and teaching abilities! Thanks to your donations, I am able to get through a lesson without any freezing or without my laptop shutting down. This is exactly what was needed, a faster more reliable laptop to create new engaging PowerPoint presentations that make learning fun in my classroom. I can also be productive and complete lesson plans, grades, input data, and complete anything else that has to get done, all from the comfort of my own home. Thank you again for making this possible!”

  • Organization is Key!

    Funded May 6, 2024

    Thank you so much for all you generous donations! These resources have helped our classroom in so many way! Thanks to the storage containers, we were able to organize resources for each module for our math curriculum. This helps me as a teacher stay focused and be fully prepared for our upcoming lessons. The rolling carts and drawers have helped store materials, station activities, STEM materials and so much more! These help keep things clutter free because now everything has its own place! The laminator and laminating pouches have help create engaging resources for my students. Thanks to the laminator we can have durable material that will last us throughout the year!”

  • Ready, Set, Go!

    Funded Oct 30, 2023

    I just want to thank you for making such an impact in my classroom, thanks to you my students were able to start the year off with everything they needed to learn! The headphones are used daily, it allows all students to be fully engaged while not interrupting others from learning. The dry erase marker make small group fun with all the different colors! The laminating pouches and cardstock helped get station activities ready and durable to make sure they last a long time. One of my favorites have been our math books! It is a great way to tie in literacy! The books let students know that math does not have to be scary. We are all great Mathematicians!”

    Thank you so much for helping us gain so many new resources! Thanks to you, we were able to purchase a variety of hands on engaging resources. These wee perfect to wake students up in the morning, small group, and their station time. I loved seeing the students have so much fun.

  • Finishing Strong, Starting Strong!

    Funded May 15, 2023

    Thank you so much for helping this project come to life. My students loved all the resources! Not only were we able to finish the year strong, but every year students can continue to enjoy these resources. The organizers are a huge help for me, I can organize student papers all in one area. The kids loved the bean bag toss games. They are able to build numbers, practice math facts, and so much more! Laminating sheets, bulletin board paper, borders, file folders all helped get ready for this new school year, thank you for making this possible!”

  • Diverse Seating to the Rescue!

    Funded Sep 21, 2022

    Thank you for donating to our classroom! The diverse seating has been such a hit for my students and I. The wobble seats are definitely the most popular and my students are always super excited when it's their turn to use them. The other seat options are great for small group activities or when the students are completing assignments on the carpet, no one wants to sit in our normal seats anymore :) These seat options have given my students the power of choice and has also helped with problem solving in the classroom. They are responsible enough to choose the best place in the classroom to complete their work, they cannot be in an area that will distract them or might keep them from completing their assignment for the day. Thank you again for helping my busy bodies stay more calm, alert, and focused!”

  • Learning Materials for Diverse Learners

    Funded Aug 26, 2022

    Thank you so much for helping fund our classroom project! My students love all the games and resources we received. I mainly use these activities for small group or for my early finishers, now everyone tries to finish early because they all want the chance to play. My students always get excited when they see a new box in our classroom, they know if everyone finishes their work before the timer goes off then we can see what's inside. This has helped my class stay on task the entire time. I like to have Fun Fridays in my classroom, as little reward for working hard all week. These materials are perfect to have available because not only are they having fun, but they are also practicing important math skills!”

  • Engaging Resources

    Funded Jun 6, 2022

    Thank you for your generous donations! The gift cards have helped purchase numerous resources that help keep my students engaged and participating. We have purchased materials such a, "Fitness Fluency, Station Games, Math Bundles, Small Group resources, and so much more. Theses are resources that can be used across grade levels or even help modify lessons for our unique learners. It's so fun to see students engaging in partner discussions or fitness breaks, they do not even realize that they are learning. One of my favorite resources is the Fitness Fluency Bundle, we normally project it on the board for everyone to see, but we have also used it during our small group sessions. The kids love it because they get to get up and moving with different exercises, I couldn't imagine getting though the week without these resources!”
