• Fun With Numbers

  Funded Sep 7, 2022

  We appreciate your generosity and your contribution to this project. My students have been using the multiplication math game and stacks, which has helped them comprehend more when they have the visuals and are going over the procedures to realize the resources are helpful and aid in their understanding. As a result, my student is better able to see numbers and put the pieces together when counting, which has helped her understand money and how to recognize coins. When my students first saw the materials, they were amazed and grateful. They especially enjoy the connect-four game and enjoy sharing the materials with partners.”

• Relaxed, Creative, and Inspired

  Funded May 25, 2022

  My students and I were beyond excited to begin decorating our new classroom. We brainstormed ideas while communicating. The classroom was beginning to look and feel creative and calm, as well as relaxing. We came up with the idea as a class of adding a tree to the library and hanging some of the 12 Strands Artificial Ivy Leaf Plants Vine Hanging Garland from the ceiling to make it a very welcoming place to relax. We were all impressed with the materials as I brought them in. My students couldn't wait and were overjoyed to have the best class setting possible. The Eucalyptus Bulletin Boards and the 56 Pieces Alphabet and Number Bulletin Board Set Manuscript Bulletin Board Cards and Wood Wallpaper made our class very welcoming, and everyone in our building asked where we got our decorations and complimented us. Our next current classroom lesson or project will be to add live or fake plants and to have the appropriate resource for our lesson plans.”

• Wellness and Knowledge

  Funded Jul 25, 2022

  With the rise of germs, my students appreciate the fact that we have air fresheners with a fresh scent and that when we spray Lysol to wipe tables, either with Clorox wipes of the lemon scent, they love the smell and always volunteer to wipe off the tables; they like to be helpers and keep the classroom clean. They enjoy coming in after recess to wash their hands because it produces foam and smells nice. They earn their treats by staying on task, and they favor the fruit gummies by far. As we continue to wash our hands, the kids like to apply Vaseline intensive care lotion. They were ecstatic when I arrived with the boxes of the material, They were very excited to see what materials were donated.”

• Soft and Adaptable Seats

  Funded Jul 25, 2022

  Thank you for your assistance with this project. My students are learning and reading while using the Soft Zone Tree Floor Cushions, and Flexible Seating for Classrooms, and Libraries. My students enjoyed the fact that we built a tree and decorated hanging vines, and they felt as if they were sitting outside in the shade, as they had groups and played when they had free time and relaxed.

  My students were overjoyed and wanted to touch and feel the cushions; they were thrilled that they matched the theme in the library and were overjoyed. They appreciate the Kleenex because they know they need one if they don't feel well or sneeze.

  Thank you”

• Get Book Smart

  Funded Nov 10, 2021

  Thank you so much for your generous contribution to becoming more book smart. Our reading resources, such as sight word readers and word family books, are used on a daily basis. Every day, my students improve as readers. We practice blends and diagraphs, and they're getting the hang of how to sound out words and blend them together. When it comes to rhyming, rhyming words and visuals are also a big help for them to understand the concept with and without visuals. Having the right materials makes it much easier for my students to be excited about learning to read and spell. Thank you once again.”

• Time Set-Let's Read

  Funded Nov 10, 2021

  Thank you for your support to contribute to this project. With the help of the timer, my students are able to stay on track. The books are also very beneficial, as many kids ask to take some home to practice reading more fluently. My students were ecstatic to have thin dry erase markers that didn't dry out quickly and allowed them to manage the pressure they used when writing. Thank you once again for your generosity in assisting my class in adhering to protocol when wiping their desks and spraying Lysol to keep germs away.”

• Happy Hand Writing Journals

  Funded Nov 10, 2021

  I'd want to express my sincere appreciation to all who helped me obtain this thoughtful gift for my students.

  We were excited to begin using the materials when they came, and my students were thrilled to have writing notebooks in class and to take them home.  My students use the draw and write a journal on a daily basis to improve their handwriting and creative illustrations. When it's time to clean up, we have a routine since we use dry erase markers on the desk and then wipe them down with Clorox wipes. Thank you so much for your generosity this will help their penmanship and with their learning to continue to write.”

• Introducing the Value of Money

  Funded Sep 23, 2021

  Thank you so much for being so kind with your time and resources for our project. The items on the list have helped me provide my students with the necessary materials so that I can teach and demonstrate a basic concept of money. This year, I was able to produce more enjoyable and engaging lessons, as well as make my math class a more welcoming environment. My students can't get enough of playing the Allowance Game and learning about it. They've been learning about money and how to spend and earn it, as well as identifying each coin and its value. Thank you again for your support.”

• Staying Cool Indoors During Covid-19

  Funded May 5, 2021

  Thank you for your generosity. Even when going through a difficult time my students are very eager to learn, the fan tower you help provide help keep the class fresh and my students stayed focus. The masks were a perfect fit, they were comfortable and breathable for them, that they would ask to have an extra one. When we received the materials my students were excited for the snacks and water due to the weather changing and no water fountains were open the water and snacks really made a difference in the class. The Clorox wipes were a daily use for each student to use on their desk and chairs and to keep areas clean. Reminding them to follow protocols. Thank you so much once again.”
