• Writing and Art Supplies

  Funded Sep 20, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generosity. The art supplies have brought so much joy and creativity to the classroom. We have used the markers to create art inspired by James Rizzo and Romero Britto as well as to add to everyday creative writing activities. The erasers are always the first prize they go to when they win our ticket drawings ...they are so much fun!

  The gear clocks have made learning about time so much more relevant for our hands on learners and the tpt gift cards have been put to good use purchasing resources for the entire third grade team. Again, I can't thank you enough for your support!”

• Hands-on Science and Math Activities

  Funded Sep 29, 2021

  We have many types of learners in our diverse classrooms. We have students who need hands on materials to learn and fully understand the lessons we are teaching. The hands on science and math materials helped us to offer center rotations where students could interact with the games/ manipulatives in small groups. They then drew a picture and wrote about what they learned. We saw understanding in students who had really struggled with just pencil/paper work. Your generous donation helped us reach all students. Thank you!”

• Art Supplies for Blooming Third Grade Artists

  Funded May 27, 2021

  Students have done such amazing work with the art supplies. They were so thrilled to have the opportunity to work with various mediums such as water color, pastels and colored pencils. They look forward to art every week and it is amazing to see their individual and unique creativity. For students who struggle in academic areas this is a chance for them to shine and create something they can really be proud of. They have progressed greatly in their ability to follow directions when working on a directed project. Thank you so much fo your generous donations.”

• Project Classroom Beautification

  Funded May 12, 2021

  My class is thrilled to have such a beautiful classroom to work in. The calm, cool colors brighten up the room and create a peaceful workspace. We do "2 min of Zen" focus and breathing exercises throughout the day and the succulent blooms help to set the scene.

  The succulent theme can be seen throughout the classroom on weekly folders, name tags, bulletin boards and posters. These creates a sense of unity and cohesiveness reminding students that we are a part of a classroom team. We work together, encourage one another and help each other succeed.

  We have many academic adventures ahead of us this school year. Thank you so much for helping to provide them with a beautiful, peaceful learning environment.”

• Classroom Incubator

  Funded Aug 22, 2014

  The incubator has been such a wonderful addition to our classroom this year. In April we studied a unit on farm animals and visited the farm. When we returned from the farm we placed our 6 duck eggs inside the incubator. We read books about the duck lifecycle and created a count down chart to keep track of the 28 days that it takes for them to hatch. Students kept a duck journal where they drew and wrote about what they saw happening with the eggs. We candled the eggs so we could see inside on days 10 and 20. Students were amazed when what was only veins the first time, turned into a moving baby duck.

  The students were in class when the first baby duck emerged from the egg. They described their feelings as "happy, excited, surprised and amazed". Students learned that they need water, food, heat and a clean tub to grow and be healthy. When the ducks were big enough we took them outside to play in the grass and kiddie pool.

  This is something that our students will never forget. I am so thankful for your generosity and support. Without you this amazing learning experience would not have been possible.

  Students in kindergarten for years to come will benefit from your donation. Thank you so very much!”

• ABC Tubs

  Funded Nov 8, 2013

  Thank you so much for the generous donation you gave toward our ABC tub project. We use these tubs every day to teach letters and sounds to our students. We introduce our letter of the week each week using the corresponding letter tub. We have fun giving clues about each item and having the students guess before finally revealing each object. We also use the tubs in centers where students write about the items in each tub.

  Many students for years to come will benefit from your kindness and generosity. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
