Standing Through the Pandemic!
Funded Dec 2, 2020Thank you so much for your kind and generous donation. This stand up desk changed the game for our daily learning this year. While we did end up returning to the classroom we still had half our class who was virtual all school year which resulted in teaching two groups of students at the same time. Because of the stand up desk this was made as seamless as possible with as little difficulty as possible. This year was a very different year with many challenges for both students and teachers but because of people like you it was made just a little easier! Thank you!”

Funded Jun 25, 2019Thank you so very much for your generous donation. These headphones have helped in so many ways it will be hard to list them all! Because of these headphones my students are able to successfully and accurately use Dreambox, which is a online math program. This program speaks to children and helps them solve math problems. When students cant hear this program it cant work to its full ability. They also are able to use these headphones during our researching. We have been researching different types of schools. Using these headphones have allowed students to watch videos on different types of schools and head what the video is saying. These are just two examples of the many ways these headphones have completely changed the culture in our classroom. Again, thank you so much. Without people like you - we couldn't do the things we do in the classroom!”

Funded Oct 12, 2018This printer has been such a great addition to our classroom. I cannot begin to describe to you the impact it has made.

The things we are able to do now because of this printer are endless! We cannot say thank you enough for your very kind and generous donation to our classroom. Thank you again so much and happy holidays!”

Funded Mar 27, 2018These books have made such a impact in my classroom. My students are so much more excited to come to their guided reading group and are eager to participate.

They are new, and on their levels or higher and it makes them so excited. Thank you so much for all you do for all the students out there we cannot thank you enough!”

Funded Jan 26, 2018Thank you so much for your kind, thoughtful, and generous donation. My students were thrilled when the rug arrived to our classroom. They immediately wanted to move their desk around and help me set it up! As soon as we rolled the rug out and they saw how fun and bright it was they were instantly so excited and couldn't wait to sit on it! As soon as we got it rolled out completely I let the students go down to the carpet and see and they were so excited. (This all happened at the end of our day) The next day during guided reading we moved around the room to a comfy spot and the rug was full! They are so excited and keep mentioning how much they love it and how comfortable it is. This rug helps gives my classroom a sense of comfort for my students and I love that I can provide that for them with the help of donors like you!”

Funded Nov 29, 2017My students are absolutely loving our new bean bag chairs with ottomans! They love to be able to spend independent reading time on them. They make the classroom feel so much more homey than before. I want my students to be comfortable in the classroom and have a sense of comfort while being in the room. These chairs allow them to have that flexibility with their reading. They love to be able to relax sit back and prop their feet up to a good book. When I first brought the bean bag chairs into the classroom the students were completely shocked! They had never seen a bean bag chair with a stool before and they instantly could not wait to use them! You generous and thoughtful donation can never be thanked enough. Thank you for all that you do, without people like you I wouldn't be able to provide such a comforting and respectable classroom.”

They are able to use the chairs during instruction time if they need and during group work and independent reading time. These chairs give my students the ability to learn and focus while still being able to sit and complete their work. These chairs are wonderful for my students. They help students keep themselves stabilized so they can get the maximum learning time. I love to see them so focused while using these chairs. Again, thank you so much!”

Comfortable Seating for Comfortable Reading
Funded Dec 16, 2016Thank you so much for your donation. These bean bags and pillows have brought so much joy to my students and this classroom. We are so much more engaged and love to read now that we have these materials in our room. Your donation will impact these children and their reading forever.

White Boards for D121
Funded Sep 14, 2016Dear Donors,
My students have been using the white boards, markers, and erasers everyday in math. They love them so much! These are so great for our unit on rounding that we have currently been working in. Students love to draw their number lines on the whiteboards to help them round numbers. They have such a good time answering the problems on the boards and then "flashing" them to me to show me their answers. When my students first saw the materials they were so thrilled to be able to have them and use them. I cannot say thank you enough for your donation to help make my classroom a fun and engaging environment for my students!”
