Little Learners
Funded May 31, 2011I am writing this letter in hopes that you know how appreciative I am of your gift to my classroom. I hope you will see in the pictures how excited the kids are to use our new games and how you've impacted our classroom. Donors Choose is the perfect organization to earn resources for the classroom and it wouldn't be possible without donors like you.
These games have been the perfect addition to our center time. These games have helped reinforce skills that we've learned but need to practice on to keep them fresh in our minds. These games are fun and engaging for the kids. They don't even know that they are learning because they are having so much fun!
Thanks again for your generosity and for making our classroom a better place and definitely more fun!”

You Ink It, We Think It!
Funded Apr 17, 2011Thank you all so much for donating to this project of mine. I cannot thank you enough for your time and donation to my classroom. I am so thankful for people just like all of you who are willing to support education and classrooms all over the nation.
Our new printer has been great! It is so helpful to have a printer that works well with ink to use for my students. It has also been a great help to me to print newsletters and reminders for parents so that they stay informed about what is going on at school. I hope through this letter that you see how appreciative I am for this new printer.
Thanks again for making this project happen and I hope it inspires you to make other teacher's dreams come true too! ”

Aussie Pouch my Classroom Chairs
Funded Apr 6, 2011How can I thank you enough for donating to my classroom. I appreciate your kindness and willingness to support classrooms around the nation. Your generosity is very much appreciated by my students and me.
The chair covers that came through this projects have been a great asset to our classroom. They have been so helpful to my students so they have materials right at their fingertips. I don't know how I got by without them. We are storing our journals and whiteboards in them. Before, my students had to get up to get journals or whiteboards. Now, they can reach right behind them and never leave their seat.
Thanks again for your generosity toward my classroom. I cannot tell you how thankful I am for the new chair covers. I hope you like the photos of my students using the chair covers. ”

Mission Organization
Funded Apr 1, 2011I am sending this letter of appreciation as a small token from my classroom and me. I cannot explain how thankful I am to have received wonderful new materials for my classroom. Thank you all so very much for taking precious time to donate to this project. I appreciate it more than you know.
My students love using the kid-friendly tweezers that were included in this project. They are very helpful for little hands to pick up things. We use them every week during math centers. These provide great fine motor practice for my students. The colored trays are great to keep areas clean and organized while my students are working around the classroom and during centers. They have been a great help. All of the materials that were purchased through this project will be put to great use.
Thanks again for thinking of our classroom for a donation. I am thankful for people like you that support education.”

It's a Fact! We Love Books!
Funded Apr 12, 2011I cannot express to you enough how grateful I am for your donation to this project. Reading is close to my heart. I believe every child should be read to every day and have many opportunities to be engaged in books. The books you gave to our classroom will help provide just that.
Our reading center is a favorite center of all my students. I love the fact that through Donors Choose I can provide my students with the newest books out there. New books come out each year and with budget cuts I don't have the money to buy the latest titles. I hope that as a kindergarten teacher and with the young age I teach that I can instill a love of reading and learning in my students. My hope is that they will become life long readers.
My classroom has been very blessed through the Donors Choose organization and I hope it continues. My students love receiving new things in the mail. I hope this letter and our pictures inspire you to make more dreams come true for others. Thanks again for your generosity! ”

Funded Mar 22, 2011I am sending this letter of appreciation as a small token from my students and me. I hope you see through the pictures how thankful we really are and how you have impacted our classroom. New books come out each year and it's hard to keep an updated library with the newest materials and books that have been published. I don't want my students to miss out on these great books. Donors Choose is the perfect organization to get new things for the classroom and it would not be possible if it weren't for donors like you!
One of my students' favorite centers is the reading center. It is because of the new books that you gave our classroom. Engaging kids with books and instilling a love for reading at a young age is so important. I know that these new books will do just that. I hope my students will see my love for reading and will become lifelong readers and learners. Thanks for being a part of my students' lives in helping them become successful readers.
Without donors like you we would not have the materials needed to make school fun and exciting. With funds cut so much, we are unable to buy a lot of the things needed everyday. Thanks again for your support of my classroom and my students. I hope this inspires you to make another teacher's dream come true!”

Funded Mar 22, 2011Thank you so much for making a donation to my classroom. All of the literacy resources have been such a great addition to our classroom this year. My students and I were very anxious to get them in and start using them.
Having these items in my classroom has been so great to be able to provide additional literacy activities for my students. My students use literacy games and activities each day while I'm teaching in small groups. I love being able to incorporate the items into our daily center routine.
My students love using our new literacy games as you can see in the pictures. They offer a fun way to learn how to recognize letters and their sounds and where those sounds come in words. This is a crucial skill they need to be able to learn how to read. My students also love to use the fill in the blank phonic stamps. These are great to learn which students can identify where sounds belong in words. Plus, they are fun, fun! While I am teaching in guided reading groups, my students are engaged in literacy centers. These games you provided give them an opportunity to put their learning to good use. The materials have enhanced our center library of choices to use during center time.
My students use the items that you provided for us daily. My students were so gracious when they learned that someone they didn't even know "bought" this for them. They asked, "Why did they choose our classroom?" I explained how there are great people in the world that cares about them and their success! Thanks again for your generosity and I hope this inspires you to make another dream come true for a most grateful teacher! ”

Sensational Centers!
Funded Mar 29, 2011I cannot thank you enough for the generous donation you made to our classroom. We desperately needed new white boards and you helped make that dream a reality. With funds being cut, we have a hard time finding money for the resources needed to help our students become successful and for teachers to teach most effectively. Without the DonorsChoose organization, I would not have the resources I have today and it is because of donors like you.
My students are loving the new resources you gave us. The alphabet sequencing puzzles have been a huge hit. Also, the rhyming games have been another fun game that my students always choose to use during center time. While I am teaching small groups, the other students in the room are engaged in literacy centers. The games and resources you gave us have provided us new games to use during this time. Getting new things keeps a fresh outlook on centers for my students.
Again, I cannot express to you how appreciative my students and I are for our new materials. We have already put them to good use and will continue to do so. Thanks again for donating to our classroom! I hope these picture inspire you to make more dreams come true!”

Fun with Math
Funded Mar 12, 2011How can I thank you enough for being the generous caring person that you have shown? Your kindness has touched not only my life, but 18 little ones as well. We are already using our materials that you gave to us.
Having these items in my classroom has been so great to be able to provide additional math activities for my students. My students have absolutely loved these new folder math games. They are wonderful because each set focuses on different skills. This allows review games to be differentiated for each individual student. This way, my students are getting what they need as individuals.
My students have loved being able to use and play with the different math games. When our box of "goodies" arrived, my students said, "What is all that stuff?" I explained to them that someone was gracious enough to buy these items for our classroom. They thought that was very nice. All of these great math items provide a nice learning experience for my students. They get challenged from all levels of thinking & are learning different skills.
My students and I use these wonderful math manipulatives daily. Math has become fresh, fun, and exciting since our new materials arrived a few weeks ago. Thanks again for your generosity and I hope this inspires you to make another dream come true for a most grateful teacher!”
