  • Taking Turns

    Funded Nov 3, 2024

    We were so excited to receive our items from this project! The games have already been going to good use! One of my goals for this project was to have games where students could practice turn taking skills. The rabbit game and fish game are the ones we use the most for this. The students are learning skills like waiting their turn and using communication with their peers. The students get so excited when we play these games! Thank you again for support my classroom. Your donations are greatly appreciated!”

  • Sensory For Students!

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donations to this project. My students are loving the textured circle mats and chew necklaces. Many of my students use these to help regulate themselves or for sensory seeking needs. I am so grateful we received these items as I am building my new classroom where I am now working in special education. Our favorite item from this project is the kinetic sand. We have a sensory table that students use during their free choice time and there are always students using it. Thank you again for helping with this project!”

  • Classroom Basics!

    Funded Apr 22, 2024

    Thank you so much for your donations. I cant express how much I appreciate your support for our classroom and students. We have already used our scissors for some crafts, which are helping with our students fine motor skills. We are also using our crayons daily during table time to practice coloring in the lines, using colors that make sense, and coloring the whole picture (not leaving any white spots). We are so appreciative of these supplies because we use them everyday. Again, Thank you so much for your generosity.”

  • Classroom Storage Basics

    Funded Apr 18, 2024

    Thank you so much for your continuous support! Your donations truly help make the classroom more functional and organized. The storage bins are holding my small leveled readers and bob books, which we use frequently. I have used all the laminating sheets already to make materials in math and reading. The plastic envelopes are used to hold flashcards and small tasks. These help store materials and keep our classroom materials organized. Thank you again for all your donations and support for my classroom and students.”

  • Classroom Essentials

    Funded May 7, 2024

    Thank you for supporting this project. There is always a need for essential classroom supplies and your donations are greatly appreciated by my students and I. We use most of the supplies from this project every single day. During our math groups we use the folders to keep our papers more organized. The pencil sharpener we got is a big hit! It self sharpens and the kids love it! I also use the paper cutter to make activities for all subject areas. Thank you again for your kindness and support of my classroom!”

  • Hands On!

    Funded Feb 22, 2024

    Thank you thank you thank you! I just got the items from this project this week and we have already been using them! When the students saw the ten frame pop-its they lost it with excitement! Today we used them when we were solving math equations and the students didn't want to put them away. The word mapping wipe board is my favorite item from this project. We used these during our reading interventions today. I love that the students are able to write multiple words on the wipe board or even the same word to get extra practice. We love everything from this project! Thank you again for your donations!”

  • Math Manipulatives!

    Funded Jan 17, 2024

    Thank you so much for your incredible donations! The students have been loving the unifix cubes for math. When I opened the box they couldn't believe there were a total 1000 cubes. Their jaws dropped! The cubes have been coming in handy, each students has a set of 20 in their individual math tool kits. We use them most days during math and the kids really enjoy being able to use them as we learn to add and subtract. The ten frame stamps are another favorite. This also has helped the students with quantity, addition, and subtraction. They like being able to stamp it themselves. We really love everything from this project and it all has been great for students to be more hands on during math!”

  • Tools & Materials For Interventions

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    I am so grateful for your donations to my project. The students were so excited to receive new learning tools. We have used all of the items in this project during our small group intervention times. My students love the segmenting trays when we are working on sounding out words and blending them together. They also love using the bingo daubers to cover up words, letters, numbers, and equations on their papers. We have also used those for some art projects. Thank you again for your generosity and making it possible for my students to be more engaged and love learning.”

  • Classroom Organization

    Funded Aug 15, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. The students have become very familiar with how things are organized in the classroom. The rolling cart and pencil holders for markers have been wonderful to have in class as students can use them when needed. The bins are great for intervention activities and keep them organized for myself and they are easy for students to grab and put away. Thank you so much for your support and help in making my classroom run more smoothly. Your donations are much appreciated.”

I work with an amazing group of kindergarten students. The district I teach in is a Title I school district that serves a large population of low-income migrant students where 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and hardships, but no matter their situation they come to school ready to learn with a smile on their face. I am truly blessed to work with the most kind, resilient, and hardworking students. They never cease to amaze me.
