  • "Chompsaws: A Cutting-Edge Tool for Student Innovation!"

    Funded Apr 4, 2025

    I am so excited to thank you for your generous donation that funded a Chompsaw for our classroom! Your support has opened up a whole new world of creativity and hands-on learning for my students.

    The Chompsaw has already made such a positive impact. It allows my students to safely and confidently build their own projects, turning their ideas into real creations. Watching them measure, cut, and construct with pride has been truly inspiring. They are learning not just important skills in craftsmanship and problem-solving, but also building confidence in themselves as creators and innovators.

    Thank you so much for believing in the power of hands-on learning and for helping us bring more creativity and excitement into our classroom. We are so grateful for your support!”

  • Logical Thinking!

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of logic games to our classroom. Your support has made an incredible difference in our learning environment. The students are absolutely thrilled to engage with the new games, and it has been wonderful to watch their critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills grow through these fun and challenging activities.

    Your contribution has not only added excitement to our classroom but has also provided meaningful opportunities for deeper learning and connection. Thank you for investing in our students' development and for believing in the power of playful learning.

    We truly appreciate your kindness and support!”

  • Rowdy @ Recess!

    Funded Dec 5, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. There are so many useful resources that I have purchased through this very thoughtful donation. So much of what we do as teachers has to be purchased as a surplus and therefore comes out of our pocket. Teachers truly do it for the outcome and not the income. So, thank you once again for making this possible and allowing my students to have such a large variety of resources to choose from. It truly takes a village in order to reach and teach the needs of all students.”

In my classroom, we currently only have two desktop computers that work. We are continuously using our computers and my students love to get on them. Unfortunately, we just do not have the resources or time to rotate only two computers each day between my twenty six students. These iPads are so helpful for many different ways throughout the day. We use them to take accelerated reader tests on our library books, to increase phonics and reading levels, to increase math fluency, and also for research purposes. Your support will bring more technology and the capability of learning to occur!
