    I want to take this time to thank you from the bottom of my heart for donating to my project. It is so nice to see kind friends like yourselves take the time to donate to my project.

  • A Start to Flexible Seating

    Funded Oct 17, 2019

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for donating to my project. My goal is to have my whole class be a "Flexible Seating" classroom. It is the best way to learn in an effective classroom and gives the students the chance to choose how they want to learn. Having a flexible desk gives me the chance to move it around where ever I want in the class room and meet with students one on one to help them excel. The hooks where the kids hang up their backpacks makes the room more tidy and organized! I am so grateful to have kind people like you guys who are so generous!”

  • Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti

    Funded Aug 9, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generosity! You have helped make our classroom a environment where students look forward coming to everyday to shine. My focus this year is to teach students how to be kind and also have the right resources to learn. The calendar is used every single day for morning meeting. The kind posters are used to motivate students to be kind everyday. The wallpaper is used for the bulletin boards to display student work! I really appreciate your help in helping me make this classroom fun!”

  • Seating for Scholars

    Funded Nov 7, 2017

    I just want to take a small moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous donation to our classroom. The items that you donated helped my students every single day. We've used the image pillows to read every single day in a comfortable and warm environment. The exercise balls have helped with flexible seating. The best table of the week gets to sit on them for the week. They love having the choice to seat on something other then chairs.

    Our school is a title one school, so without your help, my students would never have these vital resources.”

  • Tech Savvy

    Funded Mar 29, 2017

    Thank you for your help funding our Apple TV, which students have started to use during Center time.

    At the beginning of the year, it was clear my students wanted to use technology. However, they had never had the right technology, so it was difficult to guide them through the steps of using an Apple TV. The ability to use resources and apply them to situations that affected my students was essential to the success of the class.

    The funding of this project had an additional benefit. Shortly after we purchased the Apple TV, students were able to explore Google Earth and learn more about the Earth. They were very engaged and couldn't believe all the different countries and bodies of water there was on this earth!

    Your gift truly paid it forward and transformed my classroom and my students' learning experience. Thank you so much for you contribution, your generosity and support!”

  • Read Aloud With Ms. K

    Funded May 4, 2016

    I can't thank you enough for your generosity! I am extremely grateful, and my students are going to be very excited about this addition to our classroom read aloud bin. We have a decent read aloud stories, but most books have been read several times, and in bad condition. These new books will fly off the read aloud bin and will be well loved and cared for. They will boost student's confidence because many of the books involve great pictures. Reading is key to the success of my students and I am trying to instill in them a love of reading. Thank you for your help in this mission!”

  • September Supplies

    Funded Sep 20, 2016

    I can't thank you enough for your generosity! I am extremely grateful, and my students are going to be very excited about this addition to our classroom. These new plushed stuff animals will make our library inviting and exciting. We have a lot of emergent readers who need hand on materials to become engaged and motivated to read. With these popular characters, my students will be interested in reading about them in different stories. I do guided reading every single day and can't wait to use the table top easel to help my students learn new words and strategies for reading. Thank you for your help in this mission!”

    I am truly so grateful in funding this project in which is bringing my students the opportunity to participate in a more engaging and fun way. Having my new easel in the classroom has help foster effective and fun learning. Students love coming up to the easel and participating in different writing activities. Moreover, because of your kindness my students are inspired and believe that they can make a difference in the world.

    The Easel will enable my students to participate in different reading, writing, math, social studies, and science activities. We are able to participate in class discussions and jot down our thoughts with out worrying about running out of chart paper.
