  • Support Super Scholars!

    Funded Apr 28, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping our community thrive! We look forward to materials that will help our students grow and learn for the upcoming year. I am excited to purchase materials to expand their knowledge and help learn standards they struggle with. We appreciate your kindness and willingness to help us out!”

  • Sweets for Scholars!

    Funded Apr 7, 2025

    Thank you so much for contributing to our amazing community!

    We have been state testing and the students earn treats when they show work and stamina on the exams. It has improved the climate and culture tremendously! I love seeing how excited they get to earn the treats and when they can share them with one another.

    Our next big thing is putting together a community project to benefit the elderly. Teaching our scholars to care for others is a big goal in the classroom. It breeds respect and care for those that need it.

    We thank you again for your help!”

  • Fluency Scholars!

    Funded Mar 31, 2025

    Thank you so much for these amazing materials!

    I teach lessons in reading whole group and small group to meet differentiated needs. I prefer small group, as it allows me to see up close what students are able to do. The materials are helping me make adjustments to my groups. I am excited to have an advanced group so they get a challenge in class. I also notice how my struggling students have more comfortability with the passages that are kid friendly and at their level. Many of my students are thriving and I hope the strategies from the books help them on their state test next week!”

  • Rewards for High Achievement!

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    Thank you for contributing to our scholars! It is testing season and they have been working so hard to earn rewards when they gain proficiency. It is great to see their excitement when they meet goals and congratulate one another on growth. The Picasso tiles are a BIG HIT when testing is over and they need to unwind with an activity that is calming and offline. I see students working together, talking and having a good time. It is nice to see them interact in positive ways and see new friendships form over items contributed to our classroom. We appreciate you!”

  • Increasing Math Fluency!

    Funded Mar 4, 2025

    Thank you so much for all of the AMAZING math materials!

    Our scholars are taking state exams next month and have been using the materials to prepare for the math portion. It is wonderful to see them using flash cards and practicing together, reviewing with numberlines and reviewing decimals with the flip chart. It creates an environment where math is no longer scary or intimidating for scholars. When they have access to child friendly things they can use with peers, they can learn more effectively.

    We spent the week before spring break reviewing specific math standards and had so much fun doing it! It was wonderful to see the growth among them.”

  • Super Star Scholars!

    Funded Feb 12, 2025

    Thank you so much for all of your support that led to my scholars having a wonderful week!

    Our class opened the boxes together and put them into our class treasure box. It was wonderful seeing them work harder towards their goals in school to earn something that was special to them.

    I will have to say that the slime was the most popular item! They respond to sensory items more than anything and I know that going forward, I need to get more of those things for my treasure box. The second thing they enjoyed were the friendship necklaces; watching them pick them and give one to their friends made my heart very happy. We thank you!”

  • Scholars Earn Rewards!

    Funded Jan 3, 2025

    Thank you so much for supporting our scholars!

    We have been working hard on preparing for the state test. This involves daily review of all our standards to ensure students know them with high proficiency. We do exit tickets so students can demonstrate their knowledge and chart their scores on our class recording sheet.

    I was excited to see the growth in our classroom as they went over their work and saw personal growth. It gives students a window into their academic selves. I find it very motivating for them when they are held accountable for their goals.

    They love to choose from the new prizes! We appreciate you!”

  • Engagement Activities for Scholars!

    Funded Dec 17, 2024

    Thank you to contributing to high engagement levels in our classroom!

    Our new resources have been a game changer; students are actively involved and having strong academic discussions as a result. I have seen higher proficiency levels in reading and math. Seeing students become owners of their data and take charge in their learning is wonderful to see. It makes me realize the impact of being intentional with materials we use in the classroom.

    We appreciate you helping our scholars becoming proficient across the board in all learning standards. It is. impactful and important for them to become their best selves.”

Our class is very active and hands on in our learning. They are a community of eager learners that are curious about any form of technology. It would be great to have a class camera for students to use in documenting projects, work, or adding photos to our class photo wall. This product is kid friendly, easy to use and desirable for my age group. One specific project we are working on is a family heritage study and students could contribute by using the camera to aid in their projects. Photos of students and their families could be obtained by use of the class camera.
