Imagination in Action
Funded Aug 16, 2024Thank you for the AMAZING support with these supplies as we began this school year. My classroom is already feeling very imaginative and creative. Students have loved playing with the dress up sets. These gave more ways for them to be doctors, construction workers, caretakers, and so many other things. The sentence strips helped us to populate our word wall with all of our faces so that we can learn about each other and our names. The crayons have helped us create art on the page. Thanks for bringing these supplies to me and my students. Without support of folks like you our classroom wouldn't be such a wonderfully creative space. Thank you!!!!”

Funded Apr 25, 2024Thank you so much for giving us the necessary tools and items to have an incredible send off for our promoting kindergarteners in June. They got to have a book to take home and remember the year by, water bottles to drink out of as rising first graders to promote hydration and health, pencils to do homework over the summer, and the bags to hold all of these items. These brought BIG smiles and joy as well as the needed support to feel like they DID it! They worked so hard this year and it was incredible to provide these gifts and tools to end our year on a high note! Thank you thank you!”

Tech Take 2
Funded Mar 21, 2024Thank you so much for making our classroom a more equitable space for my students to have ample access to technology. The look of sheer joy on their faces when they knew that the iPads would work every time, connect to headphones, and play the apps with updated processing systems, they were over joyed. As an educator, the management has been so much better and I am able to work with my small groups and help those that need it rather than spend time being and IT department of 1.
I truly can't say enough how big of a change it has made. They may be only 2 ipads and some new splitters, but now my students can work in teams reading, doing math, coding, and creating without a lot of intervention from adults. They feel capable and successful doing this. Most of all they are now getting the access to the technology that they deserve.
We are so appreciative.”

We Wish for Wonderful Supplies
Funded Aug 6, 2023Thank you much for all your support of my classroom space this year. All of the new materials have made a world of difference and the classroom has been running smoothly. First and foremost, the cleaning materials such as the vacuum, brooms, and wipes have given my students much more ownership of their job of keeping our classroom clean. They love the responsibility and they love that they can do it themselves.
The scissors have been amazing. I have never had a more organized system before for my scissors and glue. Having a rainbow caddy with rainbow scissors that align to each color table has been a game changer. Everyone knows which scissors to get, where to put them back, and they are all in working condition which each child deserves.
Lastly the speaker has helped tremendously to bring the joy and the calm. It has worked for a dance break as well as for our calm moments during the day where we practice mindfulness. As always, educators can't do this work without help from our village and I appreciate you being a part of mine. Thanks!”

Reading and Relaxing
Funded May 17, 2023Thank you so much for providing these amazing flexible, seating options for my students to use throughout the day. They are so enjoying moving as they learn and keeping themselves engaged. It is so developmentally appropriate and amazing to see. Adding these wonderful books to my library has also sparked so much joy when I let them take them out of the box hold them and explore they were screaming with delight. They can't wait to read each and every one of them and I can't wait to share them with all of my classes for years to come. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting classrooms like mine and providing diverse and inclusive things to spaces where they are most needed.”

Funded Feb 8, 2023Thank you very much for your impact and donation to my classroom. My students were immediately thrilled to see the new additions to our center activities. I am thankful to have more opportunities for them to work together and use the plethora of learning apps that are available to them with these new ipads and headphones. I am also grateful to have the right technology charging area. In the past I was sharing plugs and I was having to plug them in. Now my students can easily manage, organize, charge, and use their new devices.
I am always appreciative of the support of education. Thank you for bringing more learning, technology, joy and fun to my kindergarteners.”

Funded Sep 18, 2022Thank you for the gift of social emotional learning! You're not just directly impacting my classroom but also all kindergarteners at my school.

Social emotional learning is so important and Kimochis is so well made for young learners. So far we've learned about Lovey Dove and her baby Turtle Dove and all about kindness and friendly signals.

S.T.E.M. in Action
Funded Aug 10, 2022Thank you so much for your support of STEM learning in my kindergarten classroom. This year we are off to a great start using the materials you helped to provide. My students favorite part is that they are getting to work together in a hands on way to learn about things. They love using the magnetiles and marble run to create structures. They are learning so much about how things work and how to collaborate to make even cooler things. Thank you for helping us to organize all of our materials in bins as well. Last they are loving learning about the centers for math workshop that are going to expand their knowledge of numbers and equations throughout the year.

One Sharp Bunch
Funded Mar 28, 2022Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your support! We are LOVING our new pencil sharpener and it has been a great addition to our learning space.
