• Classroom Organization Pockets

  Funded May 21, 2024

  Thank you so much for supporting our classroom. Thanks to your generosity our 2nd graders are starting the year off with brand new seat sacks to help organize their materials. There is room for folders, notebooks, pencils, crayons, headphone and computer badges!

  These seat sacks will allow our students to be more independent as they can easily access all of their materials in one place. They also will learn organization and accountability for their belongings.

  We are so thankful to you all and appreciate helping us kick off the 24-25 school year fresh and new!”

• Headphones Help Us Concentrate

  Funded Aug 2, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous donations. With your help our students have been able to stay focused during their independent work time.

  Our new headphones have kept distractions to a minimum and our classroom is a quiet place where our students have been able to focus on their learning. Currently our class has completed the most reading levels thanks to the students ability to have a calm learning environment.

  Our students enjoyed picking their favorite color headphone and pairing it with a matching badge lanyard. They have learned how to take care of their belongings because they like what they have chosen for themselves.

  Thank you so much for supporting our classroom!”

• Connecting Reading to the Real World!

  Funded Aug 2, 2023

  These headphones have helped us so much already this school year. Each student loved being able to select their favorite color headphones! They loved pairing their headphones with a matching lanyard for their technology log in information.

  We use these headphones everyday! Sometimes twice a day! It has truly helped our classroom become a quiet, peaceful working space. The web pages we use in our classroom to support student learning are very fun, engaging, and interactive- unfortunately they are also very LOUD! However with these headphones our students are able to concentrate and focus on their own work because they aren't distracted by someone's noises or sounds coming from technology.

  With it being much more quiet during independent work time we, as teachers, now are better able to help students who may need a little extra support.

  We are so appreciative of your donation and support to our classroom!”

• Active Play Games and Activities!

  Funded Aug 12, 2021

  Thank you so much for supporting our class. We have been really enjoying all of the fun new toys and games that we received.

  They have been able to hone their social skills through games like dinosaur snakes & ladders, Yeti in my spaghetti, emoji Uno and guess who. They have had so much fun using their imaginations and building STEM skills by building with brain flakes, hot wheels and dinosaur clay.

  Our scholars have gotten so much better at organizing their toys and materials by having a place to put them in our toy chest bins!”

• Connecting Reading to the Real World!

  Funded May 12, 2020

  During the pandemic our scholars have gotten to enjoy learning about FUN real world experiences through the use of these Scholastic News Magazines. They enjoy learning new vocabulary and finding out more about cool subjects like ice castles!

  The online web portal has been the way that our scholars have most enjoyed these magazines and they love the interactive videos and dance breaks that go along with each article. We can't wait to use these magazines in person once we return to our in person learning! Thank you so much for your support!”
