• Terrific Teaching Tool!

  Funded May 9, 2023

  Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! The double sided easel has been an enormous help in keeping my students engaged and helping all of my third graders access the curriculum.

  In the past, I had to hold up a small personal whiteboard to teach during small group instruction or when the kids are sitting on the rug. Now, I can teach entire lessons from anywhere in my classroom!

  My students are benefiting from being able to see my larger writing and love getting a turn to also write on the "giant whiteboard". Thank you for providing us with such a great resource!”

• Fantastic Fourth Grade Chapter Books

  Funded Feb 4, 2022

  Thank you so much for our class set of chapter books. It brought such wonderful conversations, insight, and community to our classroom.

  It was so much fun to read and analyze each chapter. It gave my students such a great opportunity to relate to some of the characters experiences as well as give them a window to understand different perspectives.

  I loved seeing how their eyes would light up when they had something in common with one of the book characters. It was also wonderful to hear the great conversations that they had with each other. They not only gave their opinion but also learned to listen and show empathy when they listened to each other.

  It was such a joy to see the inspired look on their faces when we would complete the last chapter of the book. They were so excited to talk to each other about their opinion of the ending and their favorite characters. These books became one of the best parts of their fourth grade experience.”

• Distance Learning Kits for Kindergarteners

  Funded Sep 17, 2020

  Thank you so much for funding our class project! These materials have helped my students to become more engaged during our online lessons. They love writing their answers on their whiteboards and holding them up for the me and their classmates to see. This is also a great way for me to constantly check if they are understanding the lessons. The whiteboards, journals, and school supplies have also helped them practice their new writing skills while they are learning from home.

  My students were so excited when they received their materials. They hugged their supply bags and couldn't stop smiling. It felt like Christmas! Thank you for providing such a great memory for me and my students.”
