Creating a Kinesthetic Classroom
Funded Dec 30, 2017As my kiddos have been on break, they are not aware of this project at all. I cannot wait for them to come back from their break to see our new classroom setup and explain to them that we have a whole new classroom environment to learn in the rest of the school year. I have so many kinesthetic learners, and they are going to benefit so much from this. Thank you so much for your generous donation!”

Teaching Critical Thinking Through Technology
Funded Dec 17, 2017I cannot thank you all enough for your generous donations. My students are going to be over the moon when they find out this project is fully funded and will be even more ecstatic when the items arrive. This item is so innovative and creative and allows critical thinking skills that they cannot gain when they are just sitting at a regular computer. This item will help them immensely in so many areas and I am so grateful to have it as a classroom resource. With the holiday season upon us, I know money can be tight; to have so many donations this time of year really shows me just how important education is to each and every one of you. Thank you so much!”

Math Games for Master Math Wizards
Funded Aug 20, 2016I can't express how much enjoyment my class has had from these games! These games came completely set up; we just had to unwrap them (which the kids LOVED doing with me). From day one they have been engaging and very bright and colorful, so the kids flock to them whenever there is free time.
Because the folder games cover so many different units that we study in math, they're getting spiral review every time they play these games. I can't express how much it means to me to have a student beg me to play math games instead of do free time for recess.
These games have definitely enhanced our learning greatly and are really preparing the students for standardized testing at the end of the year without letting them know that they're actually reviewing math. They have so much fun with them and I'm so happy to be able to pass these on year after year to my students. It's so wonderful to instill a love for learning in such young minds.”

Books for Brilliant Minds
Funded Feb 18, 2016Dear Donors,
I can't express how much enjoyment and learning these books have added to our reading groups! My students were getting bored with the regular leveled readers and were really wanting something more! We began novel studies using the titles purchased by you and the students have been blowing me away with their comprehension, connections, vocabulary, and most of all enthusiasm during reading groups.
My students who were on higher reading levels are finally making great connections with the text, they're expanding their learning and they are engaged and begging me to read during recess. My lower reading level kiddos are striving to do their best, working hard on vocabulary, backing up to reread to clarify meaning, and most of all ENJOYING reading on a higher reading level.
These books have enhanced our learning so much and my students now beg me to read long novels! Through your donations I have been able to engage readers and encourage them to truly find the meaning of a text as well as expand on what they are reading and write about their reading.”

Mrs. Johnson
