Give Me a Break!
Funded May 18, 2024Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom! The break boxes were a big hit amongst the students. They really enjoy using the items in the break box and it really helped them focus and calm down. I really appreciate the kindness of donors to help my young learners to be their best!
The children were so excited when they saw the new materials! Everyone tried them out and had a lot of fun! The break boxes are now in my break area and when a student needs a break, they take out a break box and play for 3 minutes. This has really helped them calm down and be able to get back to work! Thanks again!”

Funded Dec 20, 2023Thank you for donating to my classroom! The calming corner materials are so helpful and used every day by my young learners. They use the calming corner to help regulate their emotions, feelings and sensory needs during the school day. For Autistic students, this is something that they require to be able to function in school. When they are not provided with breaks, they can become upset and refuse to do work. After they take a 5 minute break, they are able to come back to their work and complete everything appropriately.
The students have loved using the stress ball fidgets, weighted stuffed animals, and weighted vests. They have really helped the children calm down when they need it. I couldn't provide these things for my students without donor like you so thank you so much!”

Funded Mar 29, 2021Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom! It has been so helpful to me to remotely teach my class. When remotely teaching, This second screen allowed me to show my students many different slides, videos, read alouds and digital lessons. I have been able to use it when we went back into the classroom too! The monitor allows me to show my small groups digital lessons, videos and slides. Without donors like you, I would not be able to provide these opportunities to my young students. Thanks so much!”

Funded Sep 29, 2022Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom! The sensory items have been such a big help with my young Autistic students. Since this project was funded I was able to share the items with other classrooms and the kids love it! I see the students in the hallway and they are constantly thanking me and asking if I have any new items! It has helped my students to be able to regulate their bodies in school and become more productive during the day. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to you for this. When I am able to provide what my students need, it is such a win for me as a teacher. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Funded Dec 13, 2022I cannot begin to express my gratitude to you for your donations to my classroom! My students have had so much fun playing with the outdoor recess items. They are so excited when they see my bag of balls, chalk, jump ropes and frisbees come out each day. Not only has my class been using the items and having fun but the entire school is using the items. They say thank you to me every time I bring the items out and allow every one to use the recess items. It's very sad that my young elementary school students don't have access to outdoor play spaces and when they do, they do not have anything to play with. That is why I was so happy I could provide them outdoor recess items that they can use. Thanks again!”

Indoor Recess Items Needed
Funded Sep 21, 2022Thank you so much for your donation to my class! The children are loving the indoor recess toys! I cannot explain how indoor recess has changed since I have these new toys for them to play. When I brought the toys and games to indoor recess the children screamed, jumped up and down and were so happy. They continue to be excited and happy to use the new toys. The children are actually having fun and enjoying indoor recess! When I am able to provide a little bit of happiness and fun to the school day, it gives me so much joy. I wouldn't be able to do that without donors like you!”

Funded Jan 8, 2022Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom. The kids loved the new sensory items! Receiving these items made such a huge improvement to the everyday functioning of my class. My class consists of Autistic students with sensory issues. Having the play dough, sand and water beads really helped them when they needed to calm down. The other students in the class also enjoyed the items and request to use them everyday!

Big Books Please!
Funded Oct 15, 2019Thank you for donating to my project and providing my class with big books! The parents and children have loved reading the books! There is something so engaging about big books that the Kindergarteners love! They are always asking if they can take a big book during reading time. They even asked to read the big books during play time. That shows how much they love the books! We have used the big books during parent engagement, story time, reading and center time. I can't begin to thank the donors because without you we wouldn't have these big books! Thank you!”

Funded Oct 7, 2019Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom. The children have loved having a library area to use in the classroom. They have been borrowing books and taking them home to read with their families. I love that I am able to get high quality literature into the hands of my students that may not have it at home! It makes the students love to read and enjoy reading at home and at school. This helps them to become lifelong readers and lifelong learners.
There has been a lot of positive feedback from the parents and students about the lending library! I am so glad that with the help of the donors I was able to provide that for my students and their families. I will continue with the lending library and plan to add more books and resources that they can borrow and use at home. I would like to add some learning games and other supports that can help them at school and at home.
Thank you so much for your donation and allowing me to provide a lending library to my students and their families!”

Funded Sep 11, 2019Thank you for your donation to my project! The children have loved using the lending library to take books home and read them with their families. It is so important to put high quality books into the hands of young readers and I am able to do this with this project. Children who spend time reading at home have higher reading levels, score better on tests and are better readers for life. That's why I find that it's so important to make sure that my young learners have high quality books at home! Without donors like you, this wouldn't be possible so thank you!”
