  • Say Cheese!

    Funded May 18, 2024

    Words cannot adequately express how grateful I am for donors like you. Thanks to you, I get to continue my tradition of gifting my students with a class book, with their farewell letter written inside. I am so excited to see the looks on their faces when they receive this on the last day of school. πŸ’•β€

  • Rotating Through Novels

    Funded Jan 23, 2024

    As you know, classrooms are not places with tons of space, so we teachers have to get creative - and that's where you...and this bookshelf came in! This bookshelf has allowed me to display many more of our books in our classroom, in a way that is not only much more organized, but also eye catching, which causes my students to gravitate to these books!

    My students have loved rotating the shelves in search of the perfect book, but are also much more willing to keep it organized, which helps them finish book series!

    Thank you so much for your generosity!”

  • March Madness Tournament of Books!

    Funded Mar 8, 2024

    March Madness is one of our favorite times of the year at our school! As an entire school, we read the same books and vote for our school's favorite. Because of donors like you, my students were able to have the actual books and read them at their seats whenever they wanted. They have been making posters for the books, wanting their book picks to win the entire tournament!

    Thank you, as always, for being so generous towards our classroom. We are so lucky to have donors like you looking out and supporting our classroom!”

  • Rappin' Up Our Lessons!

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Flocabulary is one of our favorite resources in our class! This staff makes our lessons so fun, and you can find my students dancing and singing along to the videos. What is so great about Flocabulary is that there are not only math, reading and science/social studies videos, but there are social emotional learning videos. There are videos that help my students learn different ways to cope and manage their emotions.

    Thank you so much for your generosity, and allowing us all to continue to learn in our class, through singing and dancing!”

  • We're All Ears!

    Funded Oct 7, 2023

    When my students heard that they were receiving headphones, they all CHEERED in our classroom! They are elated that they get headphones...with microphones! The added bonus was the different colors that they came in! These headphones have also allowed my students the accomodations that many of them require, such as listening to passages, to ensure their success in our classroom.

    Thanks to you, my students are able to learn responsibility with their handling of the headphones, able to watch educational videos, and able to work independently on a variety of assignments.”

  • Math Incentives!

    Funded Oct 12, 2023

    My students are super mathematicians! And my students get to earn their ST math incentives after certain milestones in their math journey. All thanks to you, my students can earn charms for their Celebration Strands, stickers for their laptops and chromebooks, and keychains for their backpacks along with their homework passes.

    Thanks to you, my students are able to stay as motivated towards the end of the ST Math journey as they were in the beginning, even as the problems become more challenging.”

  • "Koala-ty" Writers on Free Write Fridays!

    Funded Sep 22, 2023

    Yay! I have been excited for these class tools for so long! Free write Friday is something that my students count on, every Friday, and they can write about whatever it is that they would like. They don't have to worry about a certain prompt, and they get to let their imagination fly! The stories that they wrote in their notebooks are so creative - it is so great to see them love writing!

    All thanks to you, my students get to be excited about writing, something that can be difficult to be excited about, so thank you so, so very much!”

    Ms. Hernandez

  • March Madness SEL

    Funded Mar 30, 2023

    These books were introduced to us through our school's March Madness - Picture Book Edition by our Literacy Coach. These books focus on social emotional learning, and the conversations that we had as a class were so eye opening and welcoming to all students in our classroom. Because of you, we do not have to rely on the videos of the books, but my students can read the physical books in our classroom, as many times as they want.

    My students are so very excited that they get their hands on these books, and that excitement is all thanks to the generosity of people like you! Thank you!”

    With gratitude,

My students welcome a challenge! They thrive most when they are learning new things, and are always up for persevering through the challenge. STEM projects keep my students engaged in learning science, technology, engineering and math. iPads will help my students develop their problem solving skills in these areas. These iPads will give my students the opportunity to engage with technology, as well as prepare them for their future career path. The iPads will open my students' eyes to new ways of learning, and ignite their creativity. These opportunities are imperative in preparing my students for the careers of the future.
