Flexible Seating for My Classroom
Funded Aug 16, 2021Thank you so much for providing these portable picnic seats for us to use for flexible seating in our classroom. It's been great moving it around to sit wherever we need to do that the children can have their personal space. They even take it with them to my little library area to have some quiet time. It's been a blessing!
Thanks a million for making this possible. Without your support classrooms like mine wouldn't have what they need to accommodate the needs of our children. Can't wait to reuse them year after year.”

Funded Oct 14, 2021Thank you to our amazing Kester families who stepped up and fulfilled this project within 48 hours of posting it. The green screen, stand, and microphone have been a lifesaver!
I cannot thank you enough for giving our students this opportunity to be broadcasters for KCKN (Kester Cougar Kids News)! My 5th graders started the process and have passed it on to other 5th grade classes. Teachers, students, and families who have been involved in broadcasting have given us nothing but positive feedback. These student broadcasters feel like stars when they walk around campus and see younger children look and point at them in surprise as if they've seen someone famous. It's the sweetest thing ever!
If you'd like to see the videos that have already been recorded, please visit our school website and you'll find them there. Thanks again for your support. Our 4th and 5th graders wouldn't have this opportunity without you. You all rock! ❤️”

Teacher in Need of Engaging Material for Distance Learning
Funded Apr 25, 2021Thank you so much to providing the gift cards for my class that allowed me to have access to some amazing lessons other teachers had created. It made planning for my current class (and their needs) much easier. As teachers, we are always creating new materials to make the curriculum more accessible to all. Those long hours of planning take away from the time that could be spent with family or even self care. TpT allows teachers to connect with other teachers and share lessons for a small fee. Thank you again for helping me get access to these lessons without breaking the back. Your support is greatly appreciated!”

Multicultural Class, Multicultural Books
Funded Apr 15, 2021Wow! This book, Esperanza Rising, was the best book to read with my class. It opened up the minds of those who had no idea about what immigrants go through and it allowed some to make connections and know that they are not the one ones whos families have gone through this process. The conversations we had where ones these kids will always remember, ones you can't learn from a textbook. This was the first multicultural book I introduced to my class and will not be the last! I can only thank you for making it possible. I can't wait to read this book with my students every year.
Thanks again for making this possible!”

Oh the Places They Will Go!
Funded May 5, 2021THANK YOU for allowing me to gift my students something that they will cherish for years to come. I had the opportunity to read them the book and have a great discussion about the challenges they will face and how I have the faith that they will succeed. This group of children were extra special for me since I was their 4th and 5th grade teacher. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to give my 5th graders the education/advice that is so impactful. You are the angels behind teachers giving us the wings to make our visions possible. My heart is full of gratitude.”

Funded Apr 16, 2020Thank you so much for your generous support. I had asked for this air purifier prior to the Covid shutdowns since it was "flu" season. I finally received the shipment a few weeks ago, perfect timing for in-person school opening. I have had it on throughout the day and it had helped put myself, my students, and parents at ease knowing that our class is taking extra steps to make the environment safer for the kids. Thanks again for sponsoring our class, without your support teachers like me would not have the extra resources we need to make our classroom the best environment for out kids. YOU ROCK!!!!”

Help Better Prepare This Teacher for Distant Learning
Funded Aug 29, 2020Thank you for always support in our class and getting us the things we need to make distant learning much easier. My students and I need the extra support more now than ever.

Look at the images of the items we have received due to your generous donations. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! Together we will get through these tough times. Looking forward to a brighter future.”

In Desperate Need of a Laptop
Funded Oct 17, 2019Thank you for being so generous and gifting me what such an amazing laptop for my birthday! One of the most important things about this laptop is that it has a CD/DVD player. Yes, CDs and DVDs are part of the past and people do not use them anymore, however, working for LAUSD we are still asked to use them in order to view things that go with the curriculum we teach. You have allowed me to do that with ease! I also do not have to guess what is behind the black corner of my screen. If it wasn't for you, my job would be a lot more difficult to do. I'm beyond grateful to have such supportive families like yours! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!”

Funded Aug 13, 2019Thank you for supporting my classroom. As a teacher, I find myself spending a lot of money out of my pocket to buy little things that usually go unnoticed. I want to specifically thank you for providing the hot glue gun and the Scotch guard for my run. Having a rug for the first time this year was getting me nervous about keep it clean but it's been a breeze. These two items alone have been a life saver this year. Thank you and to Donor's Choose for making my job a little more easier in the classroom. You ROCK!”

Funded Jun 30, 2019Thanks again for the support. This stool and standing table has given my students the flexibility to stand while I teach and look at things at a different point of view. I find that traditional seating doesn't work for at least a third of my classroom. Giving them the option to stand or sit on the floor makes it more comfortable for my students and makes learning more enjoyable. This table has been the new "hot item" in my classroom, it is a constant fight on who will sit there next. I can't thank you enough Vincent for the constant support. I was happy to share some photos of my classroom with you. Glad you liked my classroom and setup. Hope you have a great day/week/year!”
