Brighter Is Better!
Funded Nov 29, 2022Thank you so much again for your generous donation to our second grade classroom! We have been loving being able to print our academic vocabulary and visuals with a color printer. The colors make the visual much more clear and engaging for the students in our classroom. As the units and concepts change, I am able to refresh our vocabulary walls and vocabulary visuals with the use of the color printer. It has made a tremendous difference in our classroom, especially with my English Language Learners that frequently refer to the visuals for understanding.”

This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and 4 other donors.Help Us Shine in Grade 2!
Funded Dec 31, 2021Thank you again for your generous donation! All of my second grade students were so excited when the new materials arrived in our classroom!
The math manipulatives enable the students to practice with a more hands on approach and make the activity much more engaging. I have seen tremendous growth with their math skills and with their excitement to practice new skills! These math manipulatives will be utilized throughout the school year during our math block and during our intervention blocks. The learning dividers give privacy to my students during assessments and when they are working independently on an assignment.
Again, thank you so very much for your donation! We all greatly appreciate your generosity!”

Clear View in Grade 2 Zoom!
Funded Mar 2, 2021Thank you again for your generous donation! Our entire 2020-2021 school year has been via zoom so technology is clearly critical in our every day learning.
Face to face time is so very important in the education of my second grade students. It is challenging to build a relationship and community over zoom, but I wanted to ensure that this was accomplished. My class and myself, have our cameras on throughout the day. We are able to look at friends when they are talking and smile, laugh with them when it is appropriate. This makes it feel like we are in "class" with one another.
It was challenging to accomplish this while working on one screen. With your donation I am able to see every student in my class at all times. This has allowed us to build a relationship and enables me to be able check-in that all students are engaged and on task. Thank you for giving us this opportunity!”

Staying Focused on Zoom!
Funded Sep 12, 2020Thank you so much for your generous donation! All 24 of my 2nd grade students now have a brand new pair of headphones with a microphone!
In my 20 years of teaching, I have always strived to create a safe, calm and welcoming environment for my class to do their best learning. My students are now learning in all kinds of environments. Some are better suited for learning than others. These new headphones allow my class to block out background noise so they can focus on their learning. They also allow me to easily hear my students questions and anything that they want to share with me. With these headphones it is almost as if we are all together again. Thank you so much again! We all really appreciate it!!”

Help Us Make Our Work Shine!
Funded Aug 30, 2017It has only been a few days since we received our project and I already can see a tremendous difference in each of my students! They are motivated to finish drafts of their writing so they can begin to publish their work. Once their drafts are published, they are able to print out the finished copy ! Then they are able to use our brand new crayons and colored pencils to illustrate their writing piece. Finally, we are able to laminate their work to preserve it for years to come. They are like little authors and illustrators eagerly awaiting their masterpiece from the publisher! Thank you very much for inspiring my students so much. You truly have made a difference.”

Help Brighten the Day of My Students!
Funded Mar 11, 2016Dear Donors,
I wish you could have witnessed the facial expressions of my students when all of our fabulous materials arrived! It literally gave me goose bumps to witness their reactions!
It did not take them very long to become immersed in our new non-fiction texts within small group, buddy reading and independent reading time. They love to share the beautiful pictures and interesting facts with their classmates. A popular spot to enjoy these books is on our cozy couch that you so generously donated!
Our classroom mail center is wonderfully organized with our "mailboxes" and white board easel with important messages for the day.
Thank you very much for your generosity!”
