  • Reading is "FUN"damental

    Funded Dec 11, 2024

    I appreciate how you always look out for my class and me. I also appreciate your generosity in helping to make learning fun and resources accessible. Without you, I would not be nearly as great, and I thank you! I cannot wait to share all these amazing resources when we return.”

  • Supplies for Success!

    Funded Sep 9, 2024

    Early in my teaching career I taught students with Autism is kindergarten thru second grade. This year I am teaching third thru fifth. Older students have different needs. The supplies and materials provided by this funded project made it possible for each student to have supplies of their own as opposed to sharing community supplies. This opportunity will help teach responsibility and aid students in taking pride in caring for their own things. With community supplies I would bit and replenish them about every 6 weeks. This would be nearly impossible with 15 students on my minimal teacher's salary. I am grateful and thankful for the generosity of the donors that have given my students the gift of supplies that they would otherwise not have. Thank you so much!”

  • Change Is Good, You Belong Here

    Funded Aug 9, 2023

    Everybody loves packages! The joy on my student's faces when they had the opportunity to receive gifts from people they didn't even know was a blessing in itself. I try hard to ensure my students have the same experiences as their same-aged peers and sometimes it takes funds and creativity. I am always appreciative of those that go out of their way to assist me with this. Your generosity is an integral part of my students learning journey and I cannot do it without your support. I appreciate you! Thank you!!”

  • Supplying the Demand

    Funded Sep 21, 2022

    Teachers spend an overwhelming amount of their money on supplies, materials, and resources so their students can have opportunities and exposure to a variety of enriching experiences. Donating to this project gave students exactly what they needed to fully participate and helped me keep some of my earnings in my pocket. The support you provided excited my students because EVERYBODY loves receiving packages and I was able to check one more thing off the list that parents would need to provide. Thank you!”

  • Holiday Knowledge, Hooray!

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Each year I strive to provide my students with enriching experiences that help them connect their learning to real life things. This year your generous donations helped me expand my classroom library and include books, resources, and materials to help my students learn and understand how children all around the world celebrate holidays during the winter months. We experienced Chanukah, Christmas, Los Pasados, Diwali, Kwanza, the Chinese New Year and more. The books helped me explain the hands on activities better and the students were engaged and immersed. What better way to teach the children than through the joy of the holidays. Thank you so much!”

  • A Space Where All Are Welcome!

    Funded Jul 26, 2022

    It has always been important to me to provide a safe, comfortable and inclusive classroom environment for the very special Littles that I serve. This year I wanted students to see, feel, and know this space was crafted especially for them. Your generous donation has helped me build a space that is calming, serene and comfy; a literal home away from home that reiterates the resounding message that EVERYONE is welcome. The students were super excited to enter this space and parents were immediately equally comfortable knowing this classroom would be where their child would learn, grow and always be welcome. Thank you for helping me do this.”

  • Center Based Thematic Learning

    Funded Jun 30, 2022

    Everybody LOVES receiving gifts and packages in the mail, my students are no exception. They were so excited to receive these very special learning materials and couldn't wait to open them.

    The students I serve learn in many different ways. The ability to teach them and help them grow by offering a variety of resources to address their many learning styles has had an amazing impact on their educational journey.

    Thank you for your generosity in providing my students with hands on experiences that relate to their everyday lives and make learning relatable.”

  • I See Me!

    Funded Dec 28, 2021

    Before becoming an educator I did not understand the importance of having a diverse classroom where students could explore text with characters they could relate to. I realized that many text provided by the school did not reflect the diversity of the student population I send and that the only way to achieve this was to build it for them. I teach special needs students from a variety of backgrounds; different races, ethnicities, genders, familial makeups and abilities. I realize the importance of providing a place where they can read about kids just like them!! Thank you so much for your donations. Your generosity has given me the opportunity to educate students even more students through a love of literacy.”

  • So Fresh & So Clean!

    Funded Oct 18, 2021

    COVID has had a profound impact on my classroom this year. I have worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of myself and my students. Your generous donations have lightened the financial burden of having to purchase cleaning supplies, gloves, and masks for my classroom. I have been able to teach my students the importance of go good hygiene practices and the importance of staying safe against germs now and in the future. Thank you so much for helping me keep my students safe by finding this project. So Fresh and So Clean has definitely taught us ALL so much!”

Students with Autism suffer, in varying degrees, with difficulties in social interaction, verbal/nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors and sensory sensitivities. I wish to furnish the space with vibrant, colorful textures and items that will not only feed the sensory needs of my students, but provide them with a comfortable space where learning can happen naturally. The requested items will provide an alternative learning environment more conducive to their specific cognitive, social and sensory needs. The array of textured carpeting can offer students a place to lie down and read or relax. The chairs we have currently are hard and cause discomfort for the students. The discomfort causes distraction and difficulty staying focused. The bean bags, and ottomans covered in different materials give the students a variety of places to sit while learning. The motion of the rocking chair can offer sensory relief for students in overload. Storage bins can help keep student belongings and manipulatives neat and orderly. We use the binders for progress monitoring and communication with parents. The triangle shaped pencils help students with dexterity issues improve writing skills. Whiteboards are an essential part of our everyday learning. We use them for guided math lessons and pre-writing activities. With all the staffing changes over the past 8 years, much of the supplies and materials have left with the teachers, and the room is a space filled with miscellaneous odds and ends that have been discarded by others and reclaimed by me. The chance to give the students some items that will remain in the classroom even if the teacher leaves will offer a bit of consistency.
