  • The Calming Corner of Our Classroom

    Funded May 23, 2024

    I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of the calming corner and the invaluable resources you provided for my classroom. Your kindness has significantly impacted both my students and me, and I wanted to take a moment to share the positive effects these resources have had.

    The calming corner has quickly become a beloved space in our classroom. It offers my students a safe and peaceful environment to regulate their emotions, reflect, and find comfort when needed. Whether it's a few quiet minutes to decompress after a challenging moment or simply a space to gather their thoughts, the calming corner has been instrumental in helping my students better manage their emotions and focus on learning.

    The thoughtful resources you donated, such as the sensory tools, calming visuals, and mindfulness activities, have been incredibly helpful in fostering a supportive atmosphere for all students. These tools have not only helped students who may struggle with anxiety or stress, but they have also provided everyone in the class with valuable strategies to stay calm and centered. As a result, the overall atmosphere in the classroom has become more peaceful and conducive to learning, and students are more engaged and open to participating.

    Thanks to your generosity, I've seen my students grow in ways I had hoped for but couldn't have achieved without your support. They are more confident, better equipped to handle challenges, and, most importantly, feel safe and cared for in their learning environment. This calming space has made a difference, and I am deeply thankful for your thoughtfulness and dedication to supporting our classroom.

    Once again, thank you for your incredible generosity. Your contribution has had a lasting and meaningful impact, and I am so grateful to have such a tremendous supporter for my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Sao

  • Help my Students Build Their Reading Skills!

    Funded Apr 6, 2022

    The use of reading materials and learning tools in the classroom has had a positive impact on my students. It has allowed them to access more information and resources and provide more engaging activities in my learning centers, which has improved their understanding of the content and has shown improvement in their reading skills. Additionally, it has allowed them to engage more actively in the learning process as they can access materials and tools tailored to their needs. This has resulted in improved student engagement and increased student achievement. Thank you so much for these materials. It has been such a positive impact on my students, and they enjoy using them so much.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Sao
