Thank you SO MUCH for these amazing snacks and drinks! The kids have thoroughly enjoyed having access to a variety of healthy drinks and snacks to start their morning mindset in a POSITIVE way! I wouldn't be able to do this without your support. Please know that I am EXTREMELY APPRECIATIVE of your generosity to our classroom project! This is a great incentive to get the kids to focus and kick off their mornings on the right foot.
The students are much more productive and I see significant attention improvements when they are working with a full belly. THANKS AGAIN for your support!”

I'm sooooooo excited for my students to be able to experience my classroom with these new overhead light covers, as well as the diffuser oil. It is a very relaxing and welcoming environment and I'm looking forward to seeing my students next week for the first day of school. This funded project will make their first day (and beyond) extra special! THANKS so much for your generous donation. I greatly appreciate everything that you do for our school/students. I cannot express how thankful I am for your support!”

THANKS so much for funding this STEM project and helping to add new Lego sets to our classroom. I'm SO EXCITED for the kids to build these sets but I am going to wait until next school year before I open them. These will keep them busy while learning for hours! Thank you again for your very generous donation to our project! It's greatly appreciated.
Lego sets are a hands on way to teach building and following directions. The best thing is that they are SUPER FUN and the kids absolutely love putting these together. It also fosters teamwork and cooperation. Legos are great for countless reasons.”

THANKS so very much for this project! My students have had an absolute blast with planting, watering and measuring their seedlings. This is so exciting for them to interact with and as a teacher, what a learning lesson this is! I couldn't have provided everything if it wasn't for your generous donation so THANK YOU! My students have never been so focused on learning as they have with this science project. The bonus is that they each get to take their potted plants home and hopefully transplant them in the ground so that they get bigger and last longer. I'm so grateful that you chose to support my classroom.”

WOW!! We went through our drinks and snacks in a week!!! The kids absolutely LOVED them so much and I could tell a difference throughout the day when they were fed and hydrated. This was such a WONDERFUL thing that I was able to provide these items to my class on a daily basis due to your generosity! THANKS AGAIN for funding this project and making a BIG impact! It is greatly appreciated. I look forward to doing this again in the future for my fabulous students. We are SO SO lucky and blessed to have DonorsChoose partnering with our class :)”

WOW - these STEM kits are so fabulous! We will be working on these during our PSSA prep times as well since they incorporate so many learning skills cross curricular. The kids were really excited as we unboxed everything and can't wait to interact with these materials. THANKS so very much for your generous donation to fund this project. Sometimes at this level (age and grade) it's tough to engage students but with the help of DonorsChoose in funding these SUPER COOL projects, they really are so engaged and excited about learning.
THANK YOU AGAIN! This is going to be a fantastic centers in my class! They really look forward to using everything.”
Thanks so much for all of the FANTASTIC fidgets for our classroom!!! The students have been utilizing these items on a daily basis. We also loved the snacks and art materials as well. They are always so excited when they see boxes come in. I make sure that they get to experience the unboxing to see what new and wonderful resources are being provided to us.
Thank you for the generous donations to my students - they wouldn't be able to have these items without your support. I truly appreciate every single purchase for them! This has been a massive blessing for my ENTIRE CLASS.”

Thank you so very much for fully funding this project! We used the art materials the day that they arrived and you will see the FANTASTIC artwork that the kids made! We have another painting day coming up next week as well. The students has SUCH A BLAST and I wouldn't have been able to provide all of these new materials if it wasn't for DonorsChoose!
THANKS again for your generous donation. This project made a massive impact and the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves during a 2 hour uninterrupted period of painting/creating time! This activity is so helpful to their learning and individual style. I LOVED each and every piece of artwork they produced!”
As you can see, my students are thoroughly enjoying the snacks! This helps them make it through each day successfully. The participation has significantly increased due to having snacks for them when they start to get hungry. The attitudes and motivation seemed to improve as well. This is AWESOME to see!
Thanks so very much for your generous support. I couldn't do it without each and every donor. I'm thrilled that we were able to provide snacks for my class. Again, thank you for donating to this important project. I really do see positive results!”

WOW - these resources are THE BEST! The mochis are so adorable and the kids love handling them while working. The gel pens work really well as you can see from the pictures and we have been using them daily in class. The stickers went into our prize bin after all of the students got to pick some for their water bottles or to decorate their lockers. I have used a handful for graded tests as well. The tissues have been such a life saver - as we have gone through 2 boxes ALREADY! Thanks so very much for your generous contribution to help fully fund this project. We are SO APPRECIATIVE! All of these items help to make school a bit more interesting and engaging so THANKS!”

I am and have been a learning support teacher for 17 years and I have witnessed the benefit of flexible seating and workstations that will enhance a child's learning. The wobble seat has been popping up in classrooms around our district but I have yet to get my own set. I'm hoping that others will see the benefits that this seat would help create. The students also love sitting on the floor to work and the individual desks would be a fabulous addition as well. Please help make learning more fun and appropriate for my students with attention and academic disabilities. Much thanks and gratitude!
