Thank you so much for the additions to our third grade lounge! It's been so much fun settling that space for our students. Our school has gone through a multitude of changes this year, with schools consolidating and teachers moving. We've truly enjoyed making our third grade house feel like a home. The new cushions have allowed my students to break out of the confines of their desks and work throughout the room wherever they feel comfortable. The caddy and baskets have organized our student supplies and created an easily accessible toolkit in our calm down corner. Our floating shelves highlight important books of the moment and are spread throughout the classroom. I can't thank you all enough for your generosity. You can be sure that I will be sharing it with my students and paying it forward.”

I can't thank you enough for your donations to my classroom project. Each year teachers are given a limited budget, and though it's helpful, it's far from what we require to cover the needs of our classroom. So much comes out of our pockets that it's become the norm to pay for what you need. It's been years since I haven't had to buy construction paper, glue sticks, markers, and highlighters for my students. It was so emotional to see those boxes arrive, knowing that I would be able to provide for all of my classroom needs this year without worry. We are thrilled to know that you believe in us enough to support the needs of our classroom so selflessly. I've shared your kindness with my students and we vow to take it and pay it forward to others throughout the year. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.”

I cannot thank you enough for my new science resources. Kits like these are a dream. Teachers spend their budget trying to stretch out every cent on paper and utensils. I never dreamed of being able to bring such enriching and hands-on projects to my students. Everything arrived just in time for Meet the Teacher night and I have a DonorsChoose table on display to get my kids and families excited for the new school year. The support you have shown to me through your donations is everything. Projects like these light a fire in the passions of teachers to keep them motivated during these tough times in education. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

I can't thank you enough for this beautiful book set. My students read this story with me a month ago and as soon as the saw the classroom set they were begging to read it again. Rechenka's Eggs is a beautiful tribute to the Ukranian culture, the resiliency of the human spirit, and the relationships we share with nature. Each time I share the story with my students I take away something new. Your support of my classroom initiatives is what fuels my spirit in the current educational climate. I can't thank you enough for all you do.”

Thank you again for your thoughtful donation to our classroom project. Supplies like these are a prime example of supplies that regularly come out of teachers' pockets. They're the passion projects that otherwise would get cut. When you're planning for the school year, you may think of the book sets you wish you had, but you don't immediately think of things like fake snow and plastic plates. Those items quickly add up. Thanks to you, we will be stocked up for many years to come! In the dark days of winter, it's difficult to keep our students engaged and passionate about their learning. I can't thank you enough for giving us a new spark to fuel our fire.”

Thank you so much for providing these fun, new resources to our classroom. They're things that would never fit into our strained budgets otherwise. The students were thrilled to see the sets arrive and they're anxious to start creating! We'll use this them during our centers and recess time. It's been a personal goal of mine to be more deliberate in providing STEM opportunities to my students as part of their daily lives. Kits like these makes it so easy for me to do so! As students finish their work or play with their friends, they're thinking, learning, and creating! I can't thank you enough for the ways you've blessed our classroom.”

I can't thank you enough for taking the opportunity to stock our shelves. There are so many expenses that come up during a school year that are paidfor from a teacher's pocket. Little by little, it adds up to a lot. I can't explain how helpful this shipment will be. The ink will be used for printing task cards, the bags will be personalized for student chromebooks, and the rest of the tools will be used to give my students what they need to create comfortably and bravely. You have given us what we need to move forward with our year without having to prioritize what we can do with what we have. For that, I am so grateful.”

I can't thank you enough for the new book set for our third graders. They have just connected with The Magic Treehouse series and it's so much fun to see the excitement as they successfully tackle their first chapter books. The Balto set is going to be such an engaging story to add to their Iditarod unit on those dark days of March. As a teacher, finding new book sets is as refreshing of a change for the kids as it is for me. Unfortunately, our budgets don't always allow for these new resources, so I am continually grateful to the donors who find value in my classroom efforts enough to invest in them. You have my heartfelt appreciation always!”
Thank you again for the Plus Plus building kit donations for my classroom. Prioritizing a 'soft start' in my classroom has been a goal of mine for years and it's exciting to see it come to fruition. As a teacher, I make sure that we are optimizing every moment of the day, but in doing so, our students don't always get the time they need to build and create. These sets will be given to my students in the mornings to exercise their brains and ease them into their day.
Teachers have so much on their plates. It's such a fine balance finding the time to prioritize core instruction but also find opportunities for children to invent and explore at their own differentiated pace. You've given me ready-to-go tools that I can use in a moment's notice and by helping to alleviate the strain of planning I will always be grateful.
As we move forward in the school year, please know how deeply I appreciate your faith and investment in my classroom. I am looking forward to a creative year ahead with my third graders!”

My 4th grade students attend a very small, rural elementary school in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds. In my classroom it is my goal to provide my students with a well-rounded education, prioritizing literacy, 21st century mathematics and technology skills, and outdoor education. Many of my students come from low-socioeconomic families and do not have much exposure different cultures and parts of the world. Because of that, I highly value literature within my classroom, and I feel that reading is the gateway to inspire future learning!
