Funded Jan 16, 2025Thank you for your generous donation! With your support, we've been able to enhance our classroom with an electric stapler, calm strips for sensory and anxiety relief, and a USB document camera to make learning more interactive and accessible. Your contribution has made a lasting impact on our learning environment, and we're truly grateful. students had a positive and engaged reaction to using the USB document camera for math and reading lessons! When I received the materials my students face lite up, the joy and excitement they expressed when I received the materials made learning more interactive and accessible. The document camera allows them to see the content clearly, which can help in grasping concepts more effectively. It's great that they're able to understand the material better and feel more connected to the lesson through this visual tool! thank you once again.”

Warm and Inviting Setting
Funded May 8, 2024I would like to thank you very much for your great generosity in donating to my project.
I'd want to start with the plants and borders. The design of our room has created a more welcoming and stress-free environment for all of our students. When they go in, they notice greenery and plants and feel at ease because they are not distracted by bright, vibrant colors. For my students with disabilities, having the space set up exactly perfectly for my students with impairments has helped them remain calm and focused. The calendar on the wall has had a significant influence on helping my students recognize the days and holidays, as well as the visual cards that must be entered on certain days. This was quite useful, and my children look forward to shifting the cards. When we received the materials, my students were overjoyed and even asked to help put them up themselves. I sincerely appreciate your assistance in getting my class ready for the upcoming semester. Thank you!”

Treats and Self-Care
Funded Jan 9, 2024Again, I want to thank you for your kindness. Rice Krispies and snack fruits are my students' favorite sweets. People are asking me where I purchased the soap. They are continuously washing their hands and it smells amazing. After showering and feeling parched, the lotions are a huge relief. and we use Lysol every day since we have ill students that sneeze and cough. The gloves and beanie are welcomed by the pupils who don't have anything to cover up while it's raining and really windy. and get incredibly happy when we brew hot chocolate. Again, I want to thank you for supporting our students.”

Funded Jan 4, 2024Again, I want to thank you for your kindness. The materials are used regularly, encouraging our children to work on their vocabulary and phonics. The tap sentence encourages those who find reading difficult to read aloud with a partner and offer corrections to each other. My students say that starting the morning with educational activities is the most enjoyable and educational part of our morning practices and they look forward to it. The most common requests are building sentences and super blends. I have never seen a third grader get so competitive, but they grasp the idea of reading and using word families when my team sets up five stations and become ecstatic when they play phonics board games. Thank you so much.”

Sensory Control
Funded Sep 9, 2023Once again, I appreciate your kindness. My students use the cushion to keep their fidgeting under control while they are seated. Some particular students find that the body-sock really helps them manage their excessive anxiousness. My student refers to it as a blanket and often asks for it. My students are much more calmed by the diffuser. They were ecstatic when I told them what I had received for the classroom that day! They were astounded to find resources that could support them in managing their sensory issues and keep them concentrated and on task. Again, thank you.”

Funded Mar 15, 2023Thank you once again, theclassroom library is wonderful. They enjoy reading and act like miniature grownups in a peaceful setting. When students have free time, this space serves as a friendly and motivating place for them to read and share seats. My students were ecstatic to get the materials because they had never seen a bean bag before and they loved how welcoming it was in a peaceful setting. They can tell the time now that we have a digital clock, and when we rotate and work in small groups, they are aware of it and know when to get up if we forget to remind them. Your assistance in making my students feel at home and inspired to read more in the library is greatly appreciated. They become really excited when we obtain new supplies for the classroom.”

Decode New Words
Funded Oct 11, 2022My student has had more success reading and blending words thanks to the resources we were given. They were ready and excited to be able to read sentences, touch and slide the phonics touch, and place the image next to them. As a warm-up, they ask for more worksheets because the writing prompts and correcting the sentence, are keeping them busy. Every student learns differently, and the tablet has been a huge help to my students with their reading because they can see the words and participate in phonic games.
Since they had never seen or known that they could use additional materials for their playdough or kinetic sand during their sensory breaks the Timeless Toy was a big hit with my students. Once again, I want to express my gratitude for your generosity, which has made it possible for me to make great progress and enjoy learning.”

Lets Us Read
Funded Sep 7, 2022We appreciate your generosity and your contribution to this project. I Can Read has been used by my students to practice reading, and the 180 days of reading have really helped them understand the text and be able to retell it and respond to questions. In my morning class, Learn to read hooked on phonics has been an excellent tool; my students can sound out the letter while hearing it and are slowly reading. When we received the materials, my students were eager to start reading the books and were extremely excited about Pete the Cat. Flashcards and rhyming have also been very helpful. Their reading is greatly encouraged by the materials. Many thanks”
