  • Flexible Seating While Playing Math Games

    Funded Jan 18, 2024

    Thank you for supporting my students, they will definitely appreciate seating options and will have fun practicing their math while they play fun games. My students always benefit from different teaching modalities and flexibility in teaching methods. Thank you for taking an interest in the growth of all students, particularly mine.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pinto

  • Money and Multiplying Are Essential for Financial Literacy.

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    I am so excited to know that such wonderful people stepped up to help my students better understand basic mathematical skills, learn to love math, and see it as pivotal to their success in life, as you know it is. I can't thank each of you enough for your kindness and generosity. This math program will help my dyslexic and dyscalculia students learn how to multiply, which can build their capacity in all aspects of math. I cannot wait to see their faces when the supplies arrive, but more importantly, I cannot wait to see the excitement on their faces when they realize they are becoming mathematicians! Watching students learn math and understand the foundational math skills when they have given up is of great joy to me. Thank you for being awesome and for helping give my students the tools they need to be as successful as possible.”

  • Technology, Technology, Oh How We Need Thee!

    Funded Sep 26, 2023

    All I can say right now is WOW! You are amazing for donating to our class and for making our learning much easier. This printer will allow us to print in color so our students with learning disabilities can better understand the material. This printer will make color copies to motivate our students so much more! My students are so motivated to learn and they will be so excited to know that there are great supporters like you who want them to succeed! They are going to be blown away! Thank you for the color printer and thank you for believing in our students and supporting their learning process. Again, THANK YOU so much for supporting our class!”

  • A Calming Area in the Classroom

    Funded Jan 11, 2023

    Thank you, this calming area has allowed my special education students to de-escalate or get themselves prepared for the day. This calming area allows students to relax with books to read of different genres and at different reading levels, coloring books, a variety of fidget toys for the students to select and utilize as needed, stuffed toys to hug and snuggle, and relaxing music.

    This calming area is a welcome retreat for my students with sensory challenges and has been a great addition to my classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pinto
