  • Color Printing

    Funded Nov 1, 2023

    Thank you for enhancing the productivity of our classroom. The ability to color prints has added to the excitement of student publishing when it comes to the writing. My students can be more creative in how they present their materials instead of the typical black-and-white end product.

    This product also helps with my students publishing of slides. The colorful work that they put into the slides often times does not get properly displayed because of black-and-white only features. This printer resolves that issue for our students and enables them to display exactly what they were trying to create in the first place.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ekk

  • Electronics Support

    Funded May 5, 2022

    Thank you so much for supporting the behind-the-scenes needs for our classroom. While the students may not necessarily see all the technological donations you provided, they use these peripherals frequently. In that way, thank you for supporting our classroom's technology. We use each of these items constantly and frequently and hope to have this current supply which you funded last us a good while. Thank you for your generosity and my students and I appreciate you for your financial kindness to our class.”

  • Easel for Small Groups

    Funded Feb 20, 2022

    This easel has been a godsend because I use it with my small groups. The easel sits behind me and becomes a portable whiteboard that I can bring to either small groups or my table groups. It has become a vital parts of my daily classroom usage and aids to students who need extra support in a small group setting.

    Thank you for this nice piece of addition to our classroom furniture and know that it gets used on a daily basis. So our classroom thanks you and I thank you. My daily usage of the easel is the best way for me to describe my gratitude to you.”

  • Cushions for Flex Seating

    Funded Mar 7, 2022

    Thank you so much for providing our classroom with padded seat cushions where the students can sit on the floor more comfortably. We use them often as we head over to the rug and the cushions make it more comfortable as they do their learning there. Each child is able to get their own seat cushion in a setting different from their regular desk chair. Fortunately we are able to store them on the sides of the classroom when they are not being used. The cushions offer good comfort without taking up too much extra storage space.”

  • Padded Chair Legs for a Quieter Learning Environment

    Funded Feb 20, 2022

    Thank you so much for allowing my room to be a quieter learning environment. The padding on the chair legs helps reduce unnecessary noise and keeps our floor from getting scratched up. When you have a space with multiple students every decreased sound helps with the volume of the classroom.

    While a quiet classroom doesn't always translate to a learning environment, there are times throughout the instructional day when a quieter atmosphere is conducive to learning. These chair leg covers help reduce the noise and help students who like a quieter setting.”

  • A Classroom Rug

    Funded Nov 26, 2021

    Thank you for giving my students a different and more comfortable place to learn in the classroom. We appreciate your generosity and want you to understand that this kind gesture of yours has brought more color and vibrancy into the classroom. With your funding, we are able to have specific seating arrangements as we transition back and forth from our seats to our rug space. Thank you for filling in a gap in our funding structure for classroom supplies. My students and I are extremely thankful and wish you all the best!”

  • Toner for the Classroom

    Funded Sep 7, 2021

    Thank you for giving us a steady supply of toner. In a typical classroom, we go through ink and toner very quickly. Although this is not the most exciting type of request, your generosity will be not go unnoticed. With every printed paper, you've made our classroom that much better. Thank you for streamlining our work. It's much more convenient to be able to print student materials from inside the classroom than to run across our campus and wait for a copier in the office. Those copiers are constantly being used and for that added efficiency, I thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ekk

  • Classroom Printing Solutions

    Funded Apr 27, 2021

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to give our classroom an updated printer. This isn't something our district provides, and I'm extremely grateful that this classroom need is covered by your generosity. Having copies on hand streamlines our work in the classroom, so thank you for making our room operate more efficiently.

    Thank you donors, for making this available to us during COVID-19. Your generosity is always a welcomed point of discussion with my students. We appreciate you immensely!”

  • Who Was? Books for my Third Graders

    Funded Apr 27, 2021

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to buy books for my classroom. My third graders loved The Who Was books this most recent school year. As we returned to the classroom, having real, physical books in the hands of my students was invaluable. I was able to work on building reading stamina again for those who didn't have access to books during school closure.

    Thank you donors, for making this available to us during COVID-19. Your generosity is always a welcomed point of discussion with my students. We appreciate you immensely!”

    Funded Apr 26, 2021

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to go through Teachers Pay Teachers to find ready-made digital content for my students. Ease of use, speed of readiness, and a wealth of resources make Teachers Pay Teachers a valuable site to both me and my students. Given our circumstances, having digital content is immediately beneficial to our classroom. Thank you donors, for making this available to us during COVID-19.
