  • Sensory Station and More

    Funded Sep 15, 2022

    We are so grateful for all your love and support! Having these new materials, tools, and fun rewards in our class help engage, motivate and create a wonderful learning environment!

    I love when all the packages come and I always let my students open them. The looks and smiles on their faces fill my heart! They get so excited and are so thankful for everything.

    A lot of my students have anxiety and we have created a special bin with a sensory area for them using these tools in order to help them calm down and feel more relaxed.”

  • 2nd Grade Wishes

    Funded Mar 4, 2022

    My students and I are once again blown away by the love and support from friends, family and strangers. We are so grateful of your donations that help us get tools and supplies for our learning. We have not had the easiest year and things in the classroom have been different. As a teacher I try to make learning as fun and engaging as I can and help lessons be as impactful as possible for my students. They are our future and should be able to have materials and tools that will help them access higher level skills and engage them in the classroom. Thank you so much for helping our class.”

I am trying to give my students the best year by offering them many different ways to learn. In order to do that it is so helpful to have these tools that will further their education. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The world is a better place because of you!”

    Once again I am blown away by support from strangers, friends and family. My class is officially back in the classroom and they couldn't be happier. These tools and supplies are a great addition to our class and they can't wait to get their hands on them. These kids have been through so much the last year and half and I am trying my best to make this an easy and enjoyable transition for them. The last two days of school have filled my teacher heart so much and I can't wait for so many more days with them. Although we all have masks on, I know they are smiling under them! Thank you!”

Technology is everywhere and a very important part of everyone's daily life. Technology is the future and my students are the ones that will be leading the future. Technology in the classroom is very important for many different reasons. It helps prepare students for the future. Using technology in the classroom is a great way to differentiate learning and different learning styles. Technology helps prepare students for the real world. Students are more engaged with technology activities. Students are excited to use technology as it's a different way of learning and creating for them. Students become more responsible with technology. Technology allows students to demonstrate independence. It allows students to stay up-to-date with current and trending lessons. You'd be amazed when you walked in my classroom and you are able to watch a 7-year-old create their own Powerpoint or Excel sheet. Students love being able to use different opportunities to create their own work and have the choice to make it more personal. Students will use these tablets on a daily basis to engage, create and explore. We will use these for reading groups, math activities, blogging, virtual educational games, book and movie making, and much, much more.
