    Funded Aug 24, 2024

    We've been thrilled to incorporate the new resources into our classroom activities, enhancing both learning and fun. One standout project is our "Creative Learning Stations" initiative. Each station is equipped with different resources:

    Foldable Lap Desks (Blush, Green, Blue): These have been perfect for creating flexible workspaces. Students use them for writing, drawing, and using their tablets during group projects. They appreciate the portability and extra storage pockets for keeping their materials organized.

    Mind Reader Lap Desk Activity Trays and Folding Lap Desks: These trays have become a favorite for our hands-on activities. We use them for everything from science experiments to creative writing exercises. The extra dividers help students keep their materials sorted and easily accessible.

    Board Games (The Game of Life: Super Mario Edition, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, Connect 4, Trouble): These games have been fantastic for both educational and recreational purposes. For example, "The Game of Life: Super Mario Edition" is used to teach decision-making and problem-solving skills in a fun, engaging way.

    Magnetic Drawing Boards and Tic Tac Toe: These are used during break times and as rewards for positive behavior. They help students develop fine motor skills and provide a creative outlet.

    Noise-Cancelling Headphones: These have been invaluable for students who need a quiet space to focus. They use them during individual work time or when participating in online lessons.

    When the students first encountered these new materials, their excitement was palpable. The lap desks and activity trays were particularly popular; many students were thrilled to have their own personalized workspace. The board games sparked enthusiasm as students gathered around to play, eager to challenge each other and engage in friendly competition. The noise-cancelling headphones were a hit, especially among students who appreciate a quieter learning environment.

    As we continue with the "Creative Learning Stations" project, the next steps involve deepening students' engagement with the materials. They will rotate through different stations, each focusing on a specific skill or subject. For instance, at one station, they might use the magnetic drawing boards to illustrate scientific concepts, while another station might involve using the lap desks to complete a writing assignment. The board games will be used in lessons to teach strategy and cooperation, and we'll continue to integrate the noise-cancelling headphones into our daily routine to support focused work.

    We are excited to see how these resources will further enrich our students' learning experiences and help them develop new skills in a dynamic and enjoyable way.”

    Funded Mar 8, 2024

    I hope this letter finds you well and filled with the same warmth and joy that your generous contribution has brought to my classroom. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support and share with you the incredible impact your donation has had on both me and my students.

    Since receiving the new resources, my students and I have been eagerly diving into exciting classroom projects that have truly brought learning to life. As I distributed the materials, I could see the anticipation building in my students' eyes. Their excitement was palpable as they eagerly explored the contents of each kit, asking insightful questions and brainstorming ideas for our project.

    When my students first saw the materials, their reactions were nothing short of priceless. Their faces lit up with wonder and curiosity as they examined the tools and equipment before them. It was a moment of pure joy and discovery that reminded me of the magic of teaching and learning.

    Moving forward, the next steps for my students involve delving deeper into our current classroom project on environmental sustainability. With the help of the new resources, we will be embarking on a hands-on exploration of renewable energy sources. Our goal is to design and build miniature solar-powered models, allowing students to apply their knowledge in a real-world context and gain a deeper understanding of the importance of sustainability.

    I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and support. Your contribution has not only enriched my classroom but has also inspired a sense of wonder and curiosity in my students that will stay with them for a lifetime. I am truly grateful for your kindness and belief in the power of education to transform lives.”

    Funded Mar 10, 2022

    Thank you for your generous donations. Exploring art with your help is easier task to do. With your help my students now have supplies to make new projects and are able to open more doors to creativity.

    When my students first saw all the materials they were very excited. One child stated, "I can't control my feelings." In honor of Read Across America, we celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday and were able to incorprate all of the material into our hot air balloon projects. The kids were so happy using all he new supplies and were able to organize all their materials.

    We will be using all the materials for the rest of the school. Building cultural through art. We were able to plan out our upcoming activities with ease.

  • Every Child Is an Artist!

    Funded Nov 29, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. We received most of the supplies and my students were absolutely thrilled when I opened the boxes. All of the art supplies will be used to create a different piece that will reflect on a story that we read and a moment in the students the live that they would share with another perspective.

    Art is suppose to be a natural way and safe way for children to express themselves. Students in my class play, experiment, make a mess, create stories and explore alternatives narratives through their artwork. We truly enjoy art in my class and find ways to externalize feelings by creating characters, reflecting and sharing art with others.

    We truly appreciate your donations and have found opportunities to develop our imagination and invent new ideas through art.”

  • "An Investment In Knowledge Pays The Best Interest"

    Funded Apr 6, 2015

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. My students were thrilled to see all the new learning materials. We immediately opened all the box and started to use all the new resources that were now readily available to us because of you. My students were so grateful and really appreciate all the new resources.

    The material will be used during math mostly. Math is a very difficult subject for most of the students to understand and retain.My students need multiple opportunities and different strategies to grasp the given task. These materials make it not only easier but gives them a hands on approach to understanding certain areas of math that is are not feasible to them.

    This project boosted the teaching morale in the classroom for both my students and myself. We did not have many different materials to learn from and this gave us a different way of learning. My students are more confident and enthusiastic about math and want to use the resources on a daily bases.

    Thank you once again for your generous donations. You are truly making a difference within my classroom.”
