  • ABCs in Kinder

    Funded Sep 11, 2021

    All these recourses have already been loved and played with from day one. My students have learned many phonemic skills, phonics skills as well as learned letter names and letter sounds all through play and the many resources provided. Thank you for your generous donations that have lead to their growing emergent reading skills. These have helped and will continue to help them grow as readers. All of these games and resources have also helped them to learn English as most of them English is their second language. Thank you from all of us!”

  • Squeaky Clean

    Funded Jul 29, 2021

    Thank you so much for your donations. My school has been short staffed in custodial staff. These items have helped me to keep my classroom safe and clean. We use the wipes every day. I am able to keep my carpets clean with the vacuum and the new pencil sharpener is amazing. This has helped my students be productive and clean. When we are productive and clean we feel at peace and the classroom is stress free zone. When we are calm and things are clean we are able to learn better. Thank you so much for your generous donations. It has helped us stay safe and healthy.”

  • Learning through Interactive Play Store

    Funded Jul 29, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. My students love the new interactive store. They were so excited to receive all the food we ordered to go with our store. My students are mostly Latino. They loved that we had tacos and burritos in our food store. I am so excited for them to continue learning throughout the year. I am excited to integrate financial literacy into my classroom all year long. I am looking forward to watching them learn to share with each other, interact with each other, and build their communication skills, as well as math and literacy skills.”

    Funded Oct 22, 2019

    Thank you so much for your kind donations. You should have seen the kids faces when I pulled out the new ABC puzzle, animals and stamp pads. They are so excited to have stamp pads that work well. As a teacher I was so grateful for the links. We use them every day for calendar. All of the students love using them and sorting them by color, and helping me count them as we track the days of school with the links. Thank you all to your generous donations. Thank you for helping me to impact the next generation.”

  • Odds and Ends for Success

    Funded Jun 7, 2019

    Thank you so much for your donations to my projects. Day one my students used the peg number set. I love that they are able to use their fine motor skills and counting skills all in one game. We have already used the write on numbers. They love identifying the numbers and writing them. I can't wait until later in the year for them to be able to use the beginning sounds, making words, and syllables games. Thank you for your kind donations for our kinder family. Thank you for helping me to impact the next generation.”

  • Math Facts in a Flash

    Funded Feb 28, 2018

    Thank you so much for all the wonderful flashcards. My students made excellent progress at the end of the school year. These second graders will be able to have a great foundation of addition and subtraction in order to further and strengthen their math in third grade. They were super excited to receive each box and they all loved that there were enough boxes of flashcards for each of them to have their own. As always, we are forever thankful for each of you and your generous donations to our classroom. Thank you for helping to educate the next generation.”

  • Rolling With It and Growing Deep Roots

    Funded Nov 9, 2017

    Thank you for your generous donations. With each box that comes my class sits all together and we have a fun unboxing moment. It is one of their favorite times of the day. The note cards were the first to arrive. You should have heard the Woo's and Yahweh's. They said they have never seen so many notochord's. They were so excited about the notecards so you can imagine how excited they were when the rest of the packages arrived. Thank you from the bottoms of all of our hearts. We are all so excited to begin using all of the supplies.”

  • Mathematically Speaking and Learning About the Past

    Funded Jan 11, 2017

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. My students have loved having all the wonderful colorful books as they learned about our historical people. We have used the bingo games at least three times this week. As well we have been able to use the magnetic base ten blocks as we are learning about how to add and subtract with regrouping. The base ten blocks have been a great help. My students have been able to visually see and conceptualize what it looks like to add and subtract when we need to regroup. I am looking forward to using the shapes in our upcoming math unit. Thank you again for your generous donations we are truly grateful.”

My students are part of a school that is defeating all odds. The students from my school are 99% Hispanic with most of the Kindergarteners coming to school speaking only Spanish. The school is Title 1 with a free and reduced lunch rate of 99%. The students come from a very poor area. Many of these student's parents only speak Spanish and because of that are unable to help their child in their studies. They are kindergarten students who at five and sic years old are willing to give everything they have to further their education without allowing their circumstances to hinder their dreams.
