• An Organized Classroom for Organized Minds

  Funded Aug 15, 2022

  The beginning of the school year can be a little overwhelming with new rules, new friends, and a new teacher for our students, but thanks to our organizing tools things have ran a bit more smoothly than usual. My second graders were so excited to see their new plastic drawers to store their belonging in and they loved the individual pencil cases that we use to store our math tools in.

  Thanks to your gracious donations, my second graders feel right at home and can independently move around the room to find what they need. Having an organized room and knowing exactly where things can be accessed also create a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing environment. The best part is that these tools can be used year after year with classes to come.”

• Classroom Rewards

  Funded Dec 1, 2021

  I cannot thank you enough for your support. Our desk pets have not only brought happiness to my first graders, but they have helped in creating a little bit of comfort in a confusing time. The desk pets are used as a positive reinforcement strategy that helps our classroom continue to work in a positive tone. My first graders look forward to their brain break because they get to enjoy their desk pet's company.

  Our electric stapler has helped our classmates be more independent and even more creative. During center time they create little booklets and use our electric stapler to put them together.

  Once again thank you for your donation and support.”

• First Grade Authors

  Funded Nov 10, 2021

  Thank you for supporting my first graders with their writing journey. My students were super excited to hear about the kindness of people who donated our writing tools. It felt like Christmas came early in our classroom thanks to your generosity.

  We use our white board erasers daily when editing our sentences. The journals are such a treasure. We have started using the journals daily. It's where they will get to see how their writing skills will change and grow through out this school year.

  With the page protectors my students enjoy working in centers where they are available. They find it fun to write on them and that makes them practice the skill in that center more frequently than before. Thanks to you my first graders are enjoy school more than ever.”

• Choices, Choices, Choices

  Funded Nov 10, 2021

  Thank you so much for your support. My students were super excited to be able to use our flexible seating desks. They can now choose a spot anywhere in the classroom to work independently. Thanks to your generous donations my first graders look forward to our small group rotations to work extra hard and stay focus when using their portable desks.

  With your support, my first graders are becoming independent and taking the lead in their learning. The flexible seating option we now have has also helped my students take charge of their learning and become more responsible with their materials.

  We can not thank you enough for the wonderful opportunities that you have helped create for my first graders.”

• Learning with Fun Resources

  Funded Sep 22, 2021

  Thank you so much for making this project possible for my fantastic first grade students. The ability to download products immediately for my class has helped me get supplemental materials for my students to enjoy. Many of the supplemental material that we have been able to enjoy are the hands on interactive lessons that make learning memorable and fun.

  This year has been a challenging year and for many of my students it's their first time at school. For this reason, I have made it a point to have lessons that are very interactive and make learning extremely enjoyable. Thanks to you generous donation I have been able to do just that. You truly made a difference for us, and we are extremely grateful!”

• Literacy Centers in First Grade

  Funded Jul 11, 2021

  Thank you for your generosity. The donation that you provided will help my students improve their reading levels and their reading comprehension. With the materials we received, were able to start the year with our first-grade literacy centers ready to go. My first graders were beyond excited to practice their decoding skills in each center. Thanks to the Spanish Syllable Center my first graders get to practice and learn a second language in a fun and interactive way. One of my many goals this year is to make learning a second language as engaging and as fun as possible and with your donation this goal is reachable.”

• Safe Return to the Classroom

  Funded May 3, 2021

  This year has been filled with many new challenges that both my class and I have tackled on. Thanks to your donations we have been able to overcome some of those challenges. We received our much needed buzzer system that quickly made our lessons more into a game rather than a lecture. This made the transition back into the classroom a bit easier and not to mention a bit more interesting. Thanks to your kind gesture I was able to use the x-pen to give immediate feedback to each of my students while keeping them safe. We can not thank you enough for the wonderful gifts you have donated. These gifts have made our learning environment not only engaging but also meaningful.”

• Standing Up to Remote Learning

  Funded Oct 20, 2020

  We can not thank you enough for your generosity. Being new to online learning created a lot of anxiety on how to provide my students with the learning experience they deserve. The tabletop adjustable stand-up desk and wireless mouse helped me give my students a better learning experience by giving us a boost in our overall mental health.

  We are now able to move smoothly from one lesson to the other with ease. Having an adjustable tabletop desk has helped me keep active and animated when presenting my lessons. My students were happy to learn about the donated distance learning tools because they saw how I struggled early on, and saw an overall improvement instantly.”

• A Forever Treasure

  Funded Jul 31, 2020

  My 5th graders and I are completely grateful for your wonderful donation. It has meant the world for us to feel appreciated and loved during all these difficult times. We have kept optimistic about going back to school and have made plans on how to use our new laminating machine.

  As we wait to go back to school my students have chosen work they will like to laminate to keep as a forever reminder on how they kept learning in a middle of a pandemic. The laminating machine has giving us a forever treasure not only because we will be able to preserve our work, but it has giving us something to look forward to and plan for our normal routines in the classroom.

  Thank you for showing my 5th graders that hard work is rewarded and that there are a lot of people willing to help one another.”

• Quarantine Learning

  Funded May 5, 2020

  Thank you for the wonderful learning supplies my students were able to receive with your donations. Remote learning has been a challenge, but my students have been putting all their efforts to continue learning. These supplies are a true gift to keep them going.

  With the schools supplies, my students can take a break from their computer screens and work on hands on projects. Many of my student's family are not working due to the pandemic and therefore were unable to purchase basic supplies. Now, with your donations they have one less worry and can move with their learning. We can not thank you enough for your help in funding this project.”
