  • Seeing Better Lessons

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    Thank you very much for your support. We are so excited to have a new device for our smart board. We no longer have a lot of downtime waiting for a web page to completely load. Our kids are amazed and excited to see how fast the pages pop up onto our smart board screen. This new device is definitely helping us to keep our kids on task and attentive to the learning materials and lessons. It is also very exciting for our technology leaders to "start up" the device and be finished within a minute, rather than having to wait it out! Thank you!”

  • Sweet Motivation

    Funded Oct 31, 2024

    Thank you so much for your very generous donations to our classroom! We were so excited to receive our packages filled with candy! Our class is so motivated to participate in our lessons for the chance of earning coins to spend! This project allowed us to add additional items, such as an assortment of cany, to our classroom store. Our kids can now cash in for candy! They are eager to learn and having new incentives keeps them involved and active in our room. As always, thank you so much for your support!”

  • New Year, New Supplies

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for your support. We were so excited to receive our back to school items just in time for the first day! The color ink replacement cartridges really came in handy for our new students. We were able to welcome them into our classroom with beautiful, bright-colored resources.

    We are now fully prepared to celebrate birthdays in our class! The slap bracelets and certificates are amazing. The kids will be so grateful to receive a special gift from their teachers on their special day!

    The pencil bucket system is working out great! These buckets are helping us recycle pencils in an organized way.

    Thank you again for your support. We truly appreciate it so much!”

    Thank you so much for your help and for supporting our classroom! We are extremely excited to begin the organization journey in our class and to help our students become more accountable for their work. These file cabinets will hold personal work portfolios for our kids. They will be able to keep all of their proud work in a safe place.

    As always, we are extremely grateful for our donations and for the ongoing support from our families. We appreciate all of your help, all the time!

  • How Many Hours?

    Funded Oct 30, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our community service projects. We are looking forward to using our new iPad for tracking data and to research different organizations in our community. Our kids are extremely excited to have a "go to" device to use where they can keep all of our class information in one place. We will be choosing a student of the week who will be the recorder - using the iPad to record all of the class data and research that we find. We feel that each child should be able to have a chance to utilize the iPad. We will also be projecting the information we record onto our smart board for all to see. Thank you!”

  • On The Fly

    Funded Sep 20, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting our classroom. This is the perfect resource to have on hand for last minute changes in our lessons. We also love to offer our kids a variety of options when completing work and this TPT gift card will come in very useful in fulfilling those options. We enjoy using new things and adjusting to make it our own. TPT has a lot of amazing resources that we can incorporate for any subject. We truly appreciate your help and we look forward to adding multiple options into our lessons in order to motivate our kids to learn!”

  • Seeing the Good in Everyone

    Funded Sep 18, 2023

    Thank you so much for your support. This new HP Pavilion Laptop is exactly what our classroom needed! We already have it up and running and it is just perfect. Not only do we have a device that runs smoothly and quickly, but we have a new way of seeing the screen. We hooked up our new laptop to our Smart Board, so our kids are able to see the research that we are conducting as a whole class. We are excited to use our laptop specifically to learn all about different charities that we will consider for our philanthropy projects. Thank you for your help!”

  • Get Comfy!

    Funded Sep 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donations to our class. Our kids love to come in each day and begin their day with a choice. The items that were donated are the perfect addition to our classroom. Having different choices for flexible seating has really improved motivation and performance throughout the day. Just being able to have a choice in which seat they want, and the choice to use the seat where they want, has really been amazing. We really appreciate your help and we really look forward to the rest of the year.”

This technology will be a tremendous asset to our class. We currently have to share one class set of laptops with the entire school, so technology time in our classroom is extremely rare. I truly enjoy creating lessons based on the use of technology, however, I am limited due to the lack of laptops available to us. When I am teaching a lesson on the SmartBoard, with all of the visual and auditory effects, I just see the eyes of my students light up. They are so engaged in the technological aspect of it. I would love nothing more than to see that twinkle in their eyes while they are able to take the technology back with them to their desks and have the opportunity to work on their own in all subject areas...being engaged, just learning. We have 28 students, so these Chromebooks would be perfect. We could have some of our class engaged with technology and then be able to switch. My students also love to work together and learn from each other, so they could collaborate on one laptop. These would make such a difference in our education!
