Keeping our classroom Clean!
Funded Apr 14, 2025My students and I are using the new resources to keep our classroom clean, fresh and a place where they look to learn in a comfortable environment. We have plug in air fresheners to add an extra boost to the clean smell. Each class time class changes, we wipe down our lab desktops, spray and refresh our classroom in between classes. Whenever we receive gifts, my students are in Awe with smiles. The next step for my students is to have treats and water, lots and lots of water as the temperature continues to rise.”

Composition of Elements and Compounds
Funded Aug 6, 2024My students and I use the journals (spiral notebooks) daily upon classroom entry for Mastery Prep practice. The colorful filler paper is also good for engaging students with class assignments. We all use the germ-x hand sanitizer to keep germs away or any diseases that may be lingering around. The Canon PG-245 cartridge for the classroom printer is of great convenience for when I run out of paper, I can print directly in class instead of leaving in the middle of the classroom. My students are always excited when they see nice things that someone has donated to them.
We will continue to strive with the resources we have to make our students learning experience enjoyable, engaging and a little bit easier.”

Funded Jul 11, 2024My students and I are using the new resources for discussion questions, jotting down the answers with the expo markers and expo boards. They really enjoy the quick response to doing activities with the boards. When my students first saw the materials, they were in Awe! They were surprised to know that there are others out there who are rooting for them with their education process. The next steps for my students would be to adventure outside, it's springtime, we need to explore more fascinating ways of learning.”

Funded Jan 7, 2025My students and I are so grateful and very appreciative for you all supporting us with these resources which are essential in our everyday class. We can never thank you enough for making our classroom a success, no matter how much we ask, you all delivered. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Bind It Together
Funded Oct 24, 2024My students and I are using the resources you provided for us each and every day in class. Many of my classes have color coordinated binders, while other classes has an assortment of colors. All students now have dividers and binders which is needed to keep up in class. The students were all excited to have something given to them for free that's needed for class. This is just the beginning of making sure students are comfortable with coming to class because they know supplies are here for them. For that we cannot thank you enough!”

Funded Aug 6, 2024The resources for snacks that you have supplied to me for my students have been very instrumental with their class performance. When my students first saw the tons of boxes of snacks, they were so excited and knew the only way they would be able to get any would be to come to class, be productive, and participate in the discussions.
Because my students have been doing so well, I think that I need to continue this trend of snack breaks in between classes. They are really pumped and more eager to learn because they know it's a daily reward. This way my students enjoy their snacks, and I enjoy having an awesome day of learning.”

Funded Aug 4, 2024My students and I are using the resources for everyday use in class. When my students first saw the materials, they were so excited and felt the love.
We now have supplies for all students in class to make the daily work task a success. Students were all gifted with the items needed to make the grade needed to prosper and excel. With every unit change, we have dividers in the binders to mark and sort notes in the proper place. We ink in our printer so that when/if we need a paper or two printed immediately we can do it from our classroom, instead of going to the resource room downstairs.
We will love to continue this process in class. We will began using notebooks for journaling our class experiments. The students are always excited to explore new things and we are thankful for the support of donors choose for making our dreams come to life. We will continue to do our best with what we have and pray that whatever we maybe lacking we can continue to count on your support.”

Funded Mar 22, 2024My students and I are using the new resources Earbuds to listen to videos on our computer without interrupting other students. The color paper is being used to brighten students' minds as they learn and complete the assignments. The hole puncher is used to punch holes into the papers that go in the notebooks/binders. The glue sticks are used to paste pictures (cut-outs) onto construction paper or posters and the mechanical pencils are used daily, so when the lead goes short, there's no need to get up, all students need to do is twist the lead down.
Having supplies at hand is very rewarding for us all, this causes less distraction and interruptions from the lesson. Now my class runs a little smoother, quieter, and students are now more focused on completing that color paper, no matter what's on it. This has caused a great improvement in them engaging in the lesson. My students were all smiling when they saw the supplies funded by donors. The students felt the love through the supplies, knowing that others out there care enough to supply them with materials.”

Come As You Are!
Funded Mar 22, 2024My students and I are using the new resources to clean, freshen and clear the air. The beginning of summer has been hot and muggy, so having a clean and fresh environment makes it a little better to cope with. A specific classroom moment was the day after we received our materials/supplies we acted to clean, wipe, disinfect, sweep, mop, etc. since we had a little down time while other students were retesting in other areas within our school.
My students were in Awe when they first saw the materials, they could not believe someone thought enough of them to supply us all with the materials. They were eager to tear into the boxes and start using everything right away. The students wanted to take lead and plan to help as much as possible, so now when we bring our lunch to our classroom, they say we don't have to worry about finding a custodian for spills and messes, we can go to our classroom closet and do it ourselves.
The next step for my students in the current classroom lesson is to have ink for printing assignments, posters, and printing material to study for state testing next month.”

Elements of the Periodic Table
Funded Nov 9, 2023My students and I are using the new resources on a daily basis by cleaning, sanitizing, and washing our hands in between classes. We are all grateful to have such resources in our very own classroom, instead of having to go out and gather resources from elsewhere we now have our very own, and it feels good!
My students' reaction was of excitement, and they felt special. It is not very often they are surprised with educational gifts. They now see what I have been telling them all alone, they are special and loved, even by those who they do not see or know.
The next step for my students is to continue learning more about the elements of the periodic table. With the beautiful and colorful tapestry, they can make since of the elements and meaning, the color draws their interest of learning, so we are going to continue this path.”
