• Communication Made Easier with a Translator Device

  Funded Apr 26, 2025

  Thank you for supporting my students, their families, and me with this translator device. I am so happy to be able to better communicate with my families. I want them to feel that they are a part of their children's school lives by being a part of our classroom and school. I want my families to know that I want the best for their children's future and it starts here in our classroom, together. I want to include them in our classroom, our school activities, and their children's school adventures. Thank you for making this possible. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.”

• Cereal and Breakfast Bars for Added Energy Throughout the Day

  Funded Mar 12, 2025

  Thank you for this amazing gift. Having food in one's belly helps the mind to think and learn. My children know that there will always be something nutritious and delicious to eat in our classroom. This means they will not be hungry when they are at school, ever. It encourages them to come to school, too.

  At the end of the day, they sometimes ask for something to eat on their way out the door. Of course, I say yes. I don't always know what food is in their pantry at home and I want to help where I can. Thank you for making this possible and for allowing me to feed my students throughout the school day.”

• Science: The Cycles of Nature

  Funded Dec 31, 2024

  Thank you for your kindness and generosity. With these items, I have been able to share the world with my students. They have been learning about the earth and outer space. They have trekked across America with our globes and traveled to same path as the pony express. They have learned about the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. They have learned about the rainforest. They have discovered the oceans and the moon. It is amazing to see how much my children have learned with the help of these tangible manipulative. They have learned about the four seasons and everyone's need for water. The funding of this grant has made it possible for me to teach beyond the curriculum to the interests of my children. Thank you for making this possible for helping me to expand the knowledge of my children.”

• A Rainbow of Colors

  Funded Jan 12, 2025

  Thank you for helping me to add color and spark to our classroom! Colored paper adds so much more to a picture, design, or story. My children are becoming more creative and experimental in their work. It rolls over into their writing and story-telling. The surprise in their voices when they discover how to create three-dimensional objects with paper or mix paint colors to find a new color on the color wheel (with a new color name to learn) is amazing and inspiring. Thank you for your generosity and contribution to the education of my children.”

• Books, Books, and More Books!

  Funded Dec 17, 2024

  Thank you for your kindness and generosity! These books have been such a wonderful addition to our classroom. With our new curriculum, there are fewer trade books that are being shared with our children. I believe children need a variety of stories from as many authors as possible so that they can see different styles of writing and also enjoy different views, and different language and word choices.

  Many of the books in this grant are books that my children can read on their own. They do not need to wait for me to read it to them. Nor do they have to wait for our small group reading sessions to get their fill of words and language. They are learning about diversity, differences in appearance and culture, social skills, respect, homophones, and homonyms. The books that we have received are fun and inspiring. My children are asking for a time to read more! What a dream come true! Thank you for helping me to get these books into the hands of my children.”

• Reading Books For Middle Readers

  Funded Dec 25, 2024

  Thank you for your generous donation to my children and my classroom. These books have been the perfect boost to my middle readers. I am teaching small groups of children who already have the beginning skills of reading. These books give them the push they need to feel confident while also building their vocabulary and fluency. I love hearing them as they read both individually and chorally with that feeling of success! Thank you for providing with my children with these sets of books and for making this acquisition of success happen for them.”

• Beginning Readers

  Funded Dec 18, 2024

  Thank you for helping me by providing my students with sets of beginning readers. Having Leveled books for my beginning readers and English Language Learning students has been a gift. I can work with small groups of children, each reading the same book together, learning choral reading, phonetics, pointing and tracking words, while feeling successful.

  Your kindness has helped me to build language skills in my early readers. I appreciate your gift. Thank you for donating to my children and for helping me to take care of them building their abilities and confidence.”

• Breakfast Bars For a Quick Start to the Day

  Funded Dec 25, 2024

  Thank you so much for helping me to feed my students. Having these breakfast bars has been such a gift. My students are growing and they are always hungry. Sometimes, they don't make it to school on time for our free breakfast program. Sometimes, they are still hungry an hour after eating breakfast. And even at the end of the day, they just need that extra boost to make it to the end of the school day. These breakfast bars are an energy boosting quick snack loaded with grains. Knowing that they have this option throughout the day is a blessing and it eases their mind. Thank you for helping me ease their minds along with their rumbling tummies.”
