Cursive Handwriting Books
Funded Dec 31, 2009Thank you so much for your kind donation. The handwriting books came at a time when my classroom was being dismantled and made into a second/third grade class. The handwriting books were sort of a blessing that calmed the frustrations of the upcoming move. All my third grade students were able to receive the handwriting books and were very much appreciated by all of them.
Thank you so much for believing that cursive writing should still be taught in schools despite of the technology students use now. I truly believe that if we don't encourage children to handwrite, it will slowly disappear. My students were so excited to receive their cursive books. They love to practice daily.
It is people like you that make the world a better place. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Writing Notebooks, Pencils, and Pens
Funded Sep 18, 2009Thank you so very much for donating basic materials to my class such as writing notebooks, pencils, and pens. Every year I spend lots of my own money buying these materials for my students. This year I am jumping of joy because you were so kind to us.
With the notebooks I am able to teach my students to be organized with their notes in Math and Language Arts. They know where to find them at any time. There are also less loose papers to worry about and therefore they keep their desks much neater.
The pens and pencils give us peace of mind. These are materials that every classroom should have plenty of. We won't be worried about running out of them this year.
Thank you again for your support. My students and I truly appreciate your kindness. ”

Rug for Reading Area
Funded Sep 17, 2009I want to thank you so much for the area rug we received. It is the perfect size for my library area. My students were so excited when we got it. We rolled it out and placed it on the floor surrounded by three bookcases full of books. The excitement was visible in their faces. It was like getting a Christmas gift.
With the rug my students are now able to sit in the library area and enjoy reading their books. It makes the library a much more comfortable, cozy, and attractive area. My students are more willing to visit the library to check out books because they can just sit on the rug instead of the cold floor. What a great feeling it is to know that your students want to sit on the rug to read books!
Thank you again for your donation. It is people like you that make education better. Please know that my students and I greatly appreciate everything you do.”

Urgently Need a Listening Center
Funded Sep 22, 2009I am so grateful for your generosity. The listening center we received is perfect. It not only plays tapes but CD's as well. My students are able to listen to the many different stories on tape and CD that I have collected through the years.
To me the listening center is a great tool to have in the classroom because it provides extra support for my English learners. Sometimes school is the only place where they get to hear and practice their English. And the listening center gives them an opportunity to hear many stories without the teacher's help. They listen to the story as they follow along in the books. What a great tool! They are so eager and excited to go to the listening center all the time. The students think that it's just a fun center. I think it's a center where they get to practice their English skills.
I want to thank you again for your donation. My classroom has become a much better place because I am able to provide a different avenue to learn English. ”
