  • Puzzles Celebrating Our Differences!

    Funded Jan 20, 2025

    Thank you to each and every donor who helped us fund this project for puzzles and more! I love exposing my 1st-grade students to puzzles that celebrate people's differences! I believe it is extremely important to raise awareness about our different needs and abilities. My first graders and I had so much fun 100th day of school! This is a fun day where our school participates in making it a memorable day for our little learners.Thank you for helping us make this 100th Day of School, one they will never forget!

  • Lunar New Year Experience for Firsties

    Funded Dec 24, 2024

    Thank you to all the donors who helped us fund this project for Lunar New Year. My students are diverse, some coming from Mexico, Central America, and Bangladesh. They are eager to share their culture and learn about other cultures and traditions.

    Celebrating Lunar New Year will help my students build respect for other cultures around the world.

    This year, we learned about and celebrated the Year of the Snake. We completed a variety of crafts that will require red and yellow paper. They will learn about the significance of the color red, the red envelopes and the gold coins.

    All of these hands-on learning experiences will make a difference in my students' learning because it will promote an understanding of diverse traditions and allow my students to appreciate the importance of family and community within different cultures.”

  • Math Tools for Firsties

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    Thank you to each and every donor who helped us fund this project for math tools! My students love math and enjoy any opportunity for a hands-on learning experience. These math manipulatives play a helpful role in teaching math concepts to children. They help students see the math and physically engage with math.

    The dominoes and 1-120 wipe boards will be used for math games, small group instruction and during 1:1 learning. I believe that with these math manipulatives my students will have fun and become successful mathematicians! Thank you all once again from the bottom of my heart!”

  • STEM Ginger Bread House Part 2

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    Thank you so much to every donor who helped us bring this project to life! This hands-on project allowed me to provide each pair of students with the necessary materials to complete the challenge. Gingerbread house building is a perfect way for my students to be able to collaborate, create, build, design, and problem-solve while having fun. My students really enjoyed taking their structures home, explaining the process to their families, and then taking them apart by eating all of the decorations.

    This gingerbread house project always brings so much joy to my students, and I really enjoy observing their creative minds at work. Thank you all again for supporting our classroom!”
