• Stem Options for Everyone!

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  Thank you so much for your very generous donation to our classroom! My students were so excited when the boxes started rolling in!

  the first thing we opened and put to use was the class pack of small whiteboards. Each student has one to keep in their desk and we use them daily. The students use them to solve problems and practice writing numbers during math. They use them to build words and write sight words during phonics. They have been a great addition to our daily routine!

  We have used the legos and building blocks during stem projects. We used them to build animal habitats during our Arctic Animals unit. Next, we will be using them to recreate screens from fairy tales for our fairy tale unit.

  Your donation is making a difference in our classroom everyday. We can't thank you enough!”

• More Books, Please!

  Funded Oct 19, 2020

  Thank you so much for your very generous donation to our classroom! We were all so excited when the boxes started arriving. These new books are such a great addition to our classroom library. We were all so happy to have new books that we read 5 on the first day! These books are great way to start classroom discussions on kindness and other positive characteristics. The cart has come in really handy for storing our new books! It is compact and does not take up much space. It has wheels so I can move it around the room with ease. Your support of our classroom is very much appreciated!”

• Help Us Space Out!

  Funded Oct 16, 2020

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom! We were so excited when our packages started arriving. The storage cart has come in so handy! We were able to combine several storage shelves into one place and it has freed up some much needed space in our room. because they are on wheels, we can move them around and reduce the number of times students have to get up and move around. The candy is a nice treat for students who display strong, positive characteristics. Your support of public education and our classroom is very much appreciated!”

• Hard Work Pays Off!

  Funded Oct 5, 2020

  Thank you so much for your very generous donation to our classroom! Sonic is so amazing to do this for teachers year after year! My class was so excited to learn we had funded and even more excited once the packages started arriving. The paper, ink, and markers are being used to make new, individual games this year for each student. The candy and treats are being used to motivate and reward students who work hard and show kindness to others. My students are so excited to be recognized and have even started telling me when other students show kindness so that student can get a reward, too! Thank you so much for you support of public education and our classroom!”

• Help us Space Out with a Portable Whiteboard!

  Funded Sep 9, 2020

  Thank you so very much for your generous donation to our classroom! We were all so excited to find out that our project had been funded! This year is full of challenges and on of those is that we just don't have enough space in our classroom. This portable whiteboard has allowed me to downsize and has freed up lot of space that we desperately need. I am also able move it around the room and take it to individual students desks. I can work on skills one on one with them now very easily. I can move it to small groups of students to do mini lessons. It has been a great addition to our room! thank you so much!!”

• Storage Solutions

  Funded Oct 21, 2019

  Thank you so much for your very generous donation to our classroom! We were all thrilled to start receiving the Amazon packages. I started using the ink and colored paper right away to print things for our classroom. We will also start using them to make games and to print writing that my students do.

  The storage center is awesome! It has already helped in creating more independence in my students. They are able to get supplies without interrupting my teaching or my small group instruction. It is working great! Thanks for your support of our classroom!”

• Building a Great Kindergarten Year!

  Funded Oct 14, 2019

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classrooms! We were all thrilled when the packages started arriving after our fall break. We put the new STEAM supplies to work right away. My students got in groups and worked on building scenes from a read aloud we have been working on during reading groups. The ink and markers will be used to print games that we will play in small groups to help build and retain skills that have already been taught. The games are perfect for indoor reason and a great way for us to work on social skills, like taking turns. We are so thankful for you!”

• Working Hard to Be Our Best!

  Funded Oct 7, 2019

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom! We received the supplies our first day back from Fall Break and we were all so excited! We have already put the gumballs to use as students began earning them the first day back from our break.

  The ink and paper have already been put to use, as well. I have started working on making and printing new games for us to use during literacy and math groups. These games really help reinforce skills previously taught and help build independence in the students so they are not interrupting when I am working with a small group.

  The other supplies will be used to encourage and reward positive behavior and good choices. The students are so excited to earn them!”

• "Hot Dots" Reading Is Fun!

  Funded Oct 29, 2018

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to our class! My students were thrilled to see the brown Amazon box and could not wait to open it. We started using the Hot Dot Readers the same day we received them! My students loved being able to use them independently and were so excited that the pens would talk back to them! The really like the instant gratification that they get when they get one of the questions right. I like that I am able to work with other students one on one while other students are using the Hot Dot Readers in another small group. These new items have really made our small groups more interactive and fun! Thank you for supporting public education and our classroom!!”
