  • Let's Listen

    Funded Dec 16, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity! These headphones will make it easier for those little ones to use their iPads daily. It is heartbreaking to see a child struggling to hear their iPad during technology time. This will give them the little boost they may need to have a better day and know that someone out there cares about them and their education. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!”

    With gratitude,

    Thank you for your generosity! These snacks will make it easier for those little ones struggling to transition back from the summer or a long weekend. It is heartbreaking to see a child arrive at school hungry and tired. This will give them the little boost they may need to have a better day and know that someone out there cares about them and their education. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!”

  • Creative Lessons

    Funded May 10, 2024

    My students were so excited to receive the Teacher Pay Teacher gift card! It was all they could talk about. Many of my students said the same thing, "No one had ever given them a gift like this before." They truly appreciate your support.

    My students are able to get worksheets and crafts that benefit their learning. Since receiving them my students have become more verbal about expressing their needs and wants. When they need a different worksheet that is more on their level they will ask. By having the gift card available in our classroom, my students are becoming more verbal.

    Thank you again for supporting our classroom. We appreciate it!”

  • Toilet Training

    Funded May 13, 2024

    My students were so excited to receive extra pull ups! It was all they could talk about. Many of my students said the same thing, "No one had ever given them a gift like this before." They truly appreciate your support.

    My students are able to use the pulls up to help them with potty training. Since receiving them my students have become more verbal about expressing their needs. When they need a new pull-up or would like to use then bathroom they will tell us. By having these items in the classroom, my students are becoming more verbal.

    My students are motivated to come to school because they know they will have pull ups available if they need them.

    Funded Aug 22, 2024

    My students were so excited to receive their snacks! It was all they could talk about. Many of my students said the same thing, "No one had ever given them a gift like this before." They truly appreciate your support.

    My students eat the snacks on a daily basis in the classroom. Since receiving them my students have become more verbal about expressing their needs and wants. When they become hungry they will ask for a snack or if at snack time we give them something they do not like they express they do not like it and would like a different one. By having these items in the classroom, my students are becoming more verbal.

    My students are motivated to come to school because they know they will have a snack during the day. Finally, they enjoy being able to pick the snack they would like for the day.

My class is a class of 10 kindergartners with unique personalities and varying academic levels. Some students are learning disabled, autistic, OHI or speech and language impaired. My students are part of a larger school community of about 400 students. Compared to other New York City Schools we are much smaller. While our small size has a lot of pros there are also many cons; one being the lack of space that our school has along with a smaller budget. While we try to use our budget wisely providing a great deal of resources for our students, we often do not have many of the things that we need to help all our students be successful.
