Having a Space for Our Authors and Illustrators!
Funded May 17, 2022This year I have an amazing group of kiddos who are eager to come to school every day and visit the classroom to think, create, share, grow and of course, read!
Even with some of the hurdles that they face from day to day in this ever increasing virtual world, they are still eager to read and READ books where they can incorporate hands-on activities and/ or crafts and artwork with it. I've added each of these materials to our classroom and the kiddos LOVE them!
These materials are so helpful in keeping the kiddos engaged and yearning to do more. They get so bogged down with "school reading" or reading just to take a test, that they lost sight of reading just for fun. Especially the students who already struggle with reading at grade level. With the materials funded by donors like you, I've been able to reach so many of my kiddos that were ready to give up.
I've watched as their eyes light up when I pull out a new book to read and I am beyond amazed at what they create for our activities and artwork. Seeing them so involved wanting MORE, makes my heart smile. Thank you for helping me make it all possible.
Thank you so much; we appreciate you and your donations!”

Westward Movement: Finding Our Way Across the Oregon Trail
Funded May 3, 2022I jumped for joy when I saw this project had been funded! What an exciting and fun blessing to wake up to during Teacher Appreciation Week! I can't begin to thank you enough for your generosity! I am so excited to be able to receive new and such good quality materials to help provide the best learning experience. Although these materials didn't come in time for this year's unit, I am so blessed to know that we will get to start the new year off with an enhanced learning environment and it will only get better and better as we continue.
This year we used these very same materials, but were borrowed from our student teacher while she was with us. In the pictures you'll see her working with groups as they made their way across the Oregon Trail. It was voted as one of their favorite units when we did I did a feedback survey on the books and activities chosen this year.
Because of donors like you and your acts of kindness, I am able to provide a fun and engaging experience for my kiddos. Thank you again for thinking of them and helping them have the best learning experience they can!”

Funded May 2, 2022Thank you so much for supporting my kiddos and their health. I am so excited to have this project funded! You have no idea how many water spills we have to clean up when we have 20+ kiddos in one space! It can definitely be an overload to your patience, but not with these sturdy and reliable water bottles. We didn't have single water spill or book damaged due to a leaking bottle. Thanks to your kind heart, I get to have another year of one less worry to deal with every day. It means more than you could ever know. And in my opinion, I can never have enough cleaning supplies to kill all of the germs that live in a classroom. These Clorox wipes are perfect for helping to keep my classroom clean. I hope by having a clean environment to learn in, it'll be one small step for these students to be just that much more successful. Thank you for helping my kiddos to be successful and have the best experience possibly. I couldn't do it without people like you!”

Springtime Celebrations
Funded Apr 8, 2022Thank you so much for supporting our classroom project! Some activites and projects are planned and sooooo many are on the spot teaching moments where the kids are so engaged, it hurts my heart to stop them. We've had so many of these wonderful and fun filled days this year. This project helped to provide the supplies for just such an activity. I didn't realize how many of my students had never dued eggs before... or knew why we did. In the true form of learning, we did some research and we read ALL about it. Kids are so fascinated to learn the history or the origin behind the traditions we have as a culture. They're always super surprised to find that it started as something completely different than from why we do it today. I do this with many different things throughout our year but this year was particularly interesting because I had such a large diversity of ethnic groups. They were each able to bring so much to the discussions and I told them they taught me just as much as I did them this year! I won't be able to say it enough but thank you so much for your contribution to our classroom!”

Using Our Imagination to Create Our Very Own!
Funded Dec 28, 2021Thank you so much for supporting our classroom project! My students have absolutely been the best class a teacher could have asked for. All year long this group of young boys and girls have shown what it means to have true HEART. We've had so many wonderful and fun filled days this year. We've laughed together but we cried too. We grew and learned together. There were so many days I think I learned more from them than they did me. These boys and girls have made my heart so proud. I was blessed to have them a part of my life and I'm overjoyed that I get to give them something to remember me by. I won't be able to say it enough but thank you so much for your contribution to our classroom!”
