Library Organization!
Funded May 18, 2024These baskets have been an amazing addition to my classroom library. They have helped to keep my classroom library neat and organized. My students were so excited to help me be able to label the basket for the books and also to put the books in the baskets. The students love the colors that were chosen.
When I had to move classrooms, these baskets were so easy to move and it helped keep the books from getting damaged or carried in heavy boxes. These baskets are an easy storage solution as well. The books that I have not put out yet are waiting in the baskets that are in my closet. It will be so much easier to bring a basket into my library that is already sorted with the correct books!”

Funded May 14, 2024These games and activities were such a big hit in my classroom. This was such a great idea to have for an End of the Year party. My students enjoyed playing the activities over and over again.
My students loved the basketball head hoops. They loved trying to get the ball inside the basket using their heads. They loved bouncing the ping pong balls inside the fish bowls. They loved knocking the cans down with the bean bags. The list goes on and on. My students requested another day of games, which tells me that these games were the best way to end the school year. I cannot wait to try these games out again next year.”

Funded Apr 22, 2024These items have made outdoor recess a lot more fun for my students. This would not have been possible without the help of each and everyone of the donors. Before, I had these items, my students would just run around and get bored after five minutes. Now the students would stay outside all afternoon long if I let them. They love getting chosen to carry the basket for all the equipment. They are learning how to play nicely with each other and to share the equipment.
When the boxes first should up, the students were so excited to see what was inside. When I opened the boxes, my students started screaming and jumping up and down. They now how outdoor equipment to use.
Again, thank you all so much for helping to support this project.”

Funded Mar 5, 2024These lamination sheets and copy paper have been so helpful for my classroom. First graders do many hands on centers. Many centers use activities that can be used over and over again. The lamination sheets have helped to protect these activities so that they can be used over and over again. The copy paper has been put to great use as well. I can easily print the center activities that I need printed and then laminate them. They can be used for several years to come! All of my students have loved using the center activities to help practice their new skills.”

Sweatshirts to Keep Warm!
Funded Jan 16, 2024My room has certainly become a lot warmer thanks to these sweatshirts. These sweatshirts are just right for my students that are taller. They wear them throughout the day and take them off before leaving at dismissal. They no longer have to struggle with wearing a smaller size sweatshirt. They know where to find them and where to put them back. They are so warm and comfortable that the student sometimes forget they are wearing them. Thank you all so much for helping to support my classroom and this project!”

Water Bottles and Storage!
Funded Dec 30, 2023These water bottles and baskets have been such a blessing for my classroom. My students no longer constantly ask to go get water. The water bottles are filled with water at the beginning of the day and students can drink from them all day long. The baskets are the perfect size to hold all the water bottles on my back counter as well.
My first graders were so excited to be able choose the color that they wanted for their water bottle. They loved that they could decorate their water bottle how they wanted to. I am looking forward to the water bottles being using for the remainder of the school year.
Thank you to all the wonderful donors who helped make this project successful!”

Comfortable Rug for Reading!
Funded Nov 3, 2023Thank you all so much for helping to support this project and my classroom. This rug is a great addition to my classroom! My students love to sit on it and read a great book.
