  • Comfy Work Time!

    Funded Mar 8, 2025

    My students come in every day excited to learn. They love being able to choose where they sit. We even go outside for learning on beautiful weather days!

    You are truly amazing people. Thank you so much for helping us get this project funded. We could not do this without you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Goodnight

  • Sensory & Stem

    Funded Sep 21, 2022

    We are so lucky to have good people like you to support us. This classroom has truly become a home. I can’t wait for the students to try out the scoop chairs!

    We’re having fun with learning and bringing joy into it. I’m truly excited to share these resources with our students.”

  • Let's Get It Started

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    I am so grateful to each of your donations. We look forward to using the paint and markers for creative spelling activities, as well as the play doh stampers.

    Our classroom couldn’t be what it is without the support from donors like you. We will start the year off great!”

  • Clean, Safe, and Ready to Learn

    Funded Jan 24, 2022

    We appreciate your donations so much! With the cleaning supplies, we have been able to stay masked up and our room has been able to stay clean, and sanitized. We have been *almost* sick free in room 103!

    With the ink, I have been able to print and laminate so many new puzzles and sorts for our class. The students have really enjoyed the variety of activities to choose from! I was able to find activities to make for all levels of learning. They also enjoyed having different color white board markers so they could rainbow write and draw colorful pictures.

    Our students are most appreciative of having snack choices. We eat lunch at 1030am, and need a snack in the afternoon so we can focus on math. Our class is so grateful for your donations.”

  • Supplies, Snacks, & Surprises!

    Funded Dec 1, 2020

    I know that it has been several months since you donated. I apologize so much for the delay. Our students LOVED their supplies! The white board markers lasted throughout the year. They were also able to pull out their manipulatives for math, and their mini posters for reading for reference and help. It was so wonderful to see them put more and more effort into their learning as the virtual year continued. We ended our year with a (masked) in person popsicle parking lot party. We still see most of those students on the way to their second grade classes and they hold their hands up to make a heart, which was our virtual hug and show of love.

    Again, I am very sorry about how long it has taken me to say a simple, 'thanks.' Please know that everything we were able to get was so appreciated. We really loved the day we were able to read "There was a Cold Lady who Swallowed Some Snow" together and everyone had their own copy to look at. We read it right after it snowed, so it was extra special.”

    With gratitude,

  • Mail & Learning Time

    Funded Sep 8, 2019

    My students have really enjoyed the cushions for our library! They love to get all comfy cozy during our reading station. Reading time should be comfortable and something they look forward to. I know when I'm reading, I have a favorite spot. Having the cushions has given them a new favorite spot in the classroom!

    We are also super enjoying all of our new games! Specifically, "I sea 10!" and "Pop!" have been great additions into our math rotations. They're both fun, engaging games that make them really want to practice math facts. I have students ask me to play during indoor recess! They're in love with the big 120 mat also. They love this game where we start at 1, and keep rolling the dice to add onto the previous number. Its a race to see who gets to 120 first!

    We are learning how to care for all of our new items! As a class, we have discussed the proper way to play the games and how to treat the materials. It has been really good for them to have the responsibility of taking care of everything!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Goodnight

Our classroom is in desperate need of technology. There are so many good resources that our students have the ability to use, but no way to access it. We currently have one working desktop and one that works about half the time. If we had this technology, we would be able to implement a technology station. Many of my students do not have access to computers at home. It would be beneficial for them to have the extra practice, but also to have exposure. In second grade they start taking assessments on the computer, but have limited knowledge of how to use one. With access to the computers, my students will be able to utilize multiple online resources to help enrich their learning. Websites like First in Math and i-Ready are wonderful tools that allow students to review skills in a fun, engaging manner.
