• Choose Your Seat

  Funded Sep 29, 2022

  Thank you so much for providing my students with the ability to choose their own seats.

  Giving students the choice to sit and work in an area they are most comfortable transfers the ownership of their learning on to them. If they don't complete their tasks, then they will not be able to choose their seating the next day.

  My students are more engaged and eager to complete the assigned tasks. They enjoy working and sitting in a comfy cozy chair or on wobbly chair. The bean bags seem to be their favorite.”

  My students were overjoyed to receive the boxes of math tools. Place value , addition, subtraction and the regrouping chart is their favorite.

  Since time and money tend to be more difficult for them, the games will help them stay focused and engaged.

  The regrouping chart helps with place value and regrouping both subtraction and addition. Thank you so much , your support is greatly appreciated.

  Practice is essential for students to master a skill so practicing pen and paper then through games allows my students to see the material presented several ways.”

• Keep Calm and Engage

  Funded Sep 7, 2021

  It's been a year like no other. Many of my students have not seen the inside of the classroom since the beginning of 2020. Needless to say, teachers and students have their work cut out for them. We are ready and are rising to the challenge. My students came prepared and ready to learn. Your generous donation will help narrow the educational gap this pandemic caused. The cd/cassette recorder has proven to be a huge help already, my below level students have been listening to books on tape and loving it. They all want to know when it's their turn.

  Our newspaper arrived today and already distributed, the interesting and diverse articles have fun activities included. Learning made fun is how we keep our kids engaged and motivated.”

• Safe and Ready

  Funded Jul 12, 2019

  I cannot thank you enough for providing my students with the tools they need to achieve academic success.

  Having a charging station allows me to keep all the tablets charged and ready for use.

  Our classroom has limited electrical outlets and many times in the past when my students went to use the tablets they were not fully charged, this caused problems because my students enjoy using their tablets to learn . This will help me keep our tablets charged and my students engaged.

  It's donors like you that provide my students with the tools they need to grow as learners”
