  Funded Mar 19, 2018

  Thank you so much for sending us such amazing books! When I brought the box into the class the kids freaked out. They were so overjoyed to see so many brand new books ready to be read. It was like Christmas, but for bookworms! They loved the Elephant and Piggy books, they always make kids laugh. Kids were also loving the books about animals.

• Help Kids Love Math! Huge Box of Math Tools, Games!

  Funded Mar 2, 2018

  Thank you so much for sending us such amazing math games. I can honestly say that kids are loving math more than ever. They loved the dice game you sent us called math chase. One kid rolls one large dice and then proceeds to roll 5 other colored dice. They have to use the 5 other dice to make the number on the large dice. They can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division and it requires so much critical thinking. It has been so great to see kids apply the skills we have been learning. Now they can't wait for math class because they know it will be fun!”

• Make Kids LOVE Math! Send HUGE Box of Math Games!

  Funded Mar 17, 2018

  Thank you so much for the amazing math games you sent our kids. They absolutely LOVE the math stacks games. It is a card game where kids have to stack different math concepts. They have to think critically to solve the problems and it is so fun and engaging. They beg me almost every day if they can play. They loved it so much I started using it as a reward. Now, if they get their math work done they can choose a friend to play math stacks with. It is amazing that kids are excited to practice their math skills now. it is all thanks to you!”

• Help Girls Read! Send Kids a HUGE Box of Books!

  Funded Feb 14, 2018

  Thank you so much for the amazing gift you sent us! The kids LOVED digging into a huge new box of books. They were so excited, they started calling "dibs" on who got to read which book first. It was amazing to see kids excited to read and practicing their literacy skills. The Owl Diaries series has been a huge favorite. One of my students is a little girl who tries very hard, yet reading and phonics are still challenging. She hadn't quite gotten into reading chapter books, but her friend was reading the Owl Diaries and she gave it a try too. Now they are her favorite books! Thank you for making a difference in my class.”

  Thank you so much for the amazing books you sent my students. Every morning we start our day with an hour and fifteen minutes of reading. When I started they day by showing them the huge box of books you sent us, they were blown away. They especially loved the "Squish" books and were trading them back and forth and calling "dibs" on who got to read them next. As a teacher it was so encouraging to not only see kids reading, but to see them excited about reading. You have made a huge difference in our classroom!”

• Give HUGE BOX of Books! Native American Culture and Characters

  Funded Jan 20, 2018

  Thank you so much for sending our kids such amazing books. I had been telling the kids that a huge box of books were on the way and they had been waiting excitedly. When they finally arrived the kids were overjoyed. One girl, who is learning Navajo at home, had asked me once a week when the books were coming in. When I showed her the new box of books she said, "Wow all of these are for us?" She dug in and picked out two books right away. It is so important that kids see themselves in the books they read. Now all my students can learn about Native culture and read stories that resonate with them.”

• Teach Kids Kindness! HUGE Box of Books to Teach Empathy

  Funded Feb 19, 2018

  Thank you for sending our classroom these amazing books! We have been reading a few each week. Today we read a book you sent us called "Do Unto Otters." It was a funny book, but we talked about the lesson of treating others they way you want to be treated. We also read a beautiful book called "The Invisible Boy." It is about a boy who feels invisible because no one notices him or includes him. Today, when we were walking back from art class a girl told me she asked another kid to sit with her just like from the "The Invisible Boy" book. Thank you for helping my students learn how to be good friends and good community members.”

• Help! Send Kids Huge Box of Pencils, Markers, School Supplies

  Funded Feb 6, 2018

  Your gifts could not have arrived at a better time. I walked down to the cafeteria to pick up students from lunch and your box was waiting for me in the office. I was so thankful because our next lesson what about multiplication. The kids all drew hamsters on note cards and glued them on a poster. Then we counted the groups of 4 legs and wrote equations like 6 hamsters times 4 legs each equals 24 legs total. We used your glue sticks and your markers to make our poster. School supplies seem like a small thing, but they have already made a huge difference in our classroom. Thank you!”

• Get Kids Reading! Send Us a Huge Box of Books!

  Funded Mar 2, 2018

  The books you sent us arrived yesterday after school. I unpacked them and set them on our bookshelf. I was excited to tell the kids about the new books during reading time, but they ruined my plans. Within 3 minute of school starting there was a group of 5 kids crowded around the bookshelf passing the new books around. It was like they sniffed them out! The kids were so excited to read the newest books in their favorite series. One kid asked if we had book #8 of the Dragon Breath series. I told him that the donors had sent us the entire series and we had all the books now. His mouth dropped. He was so thrilled to be able to follow his favorite characters through many other books. Thank you for getting kids so excited about reading!”
