• Engaging Students In School and at Home

  Funded Feb 2, 2022

  We cannot thank you enough for your generosity. We appreciate your help in providing the necessary tools and resources that will help my students reach their full potential! These resources will be used for many years. During the tough times of covid these materials really helped make learning more accessible for my 5th graders. The students and their families expressed their gratitude, and have kept in touch to let me know that these materials helped get these children ready for middle school. I am also happy to report that one of these students was accepted into an extremely prestigious high school recently. Thank you so much for your support!!!

  Fondly,

• Help Some Fabulous First Graders

  Funded Jan 18, 2025

  My class and I are very touched by your generosity and kindness. My school is title 1, and the children I teach deserve to have access to everything needed to help them be as successful as possible. These incentives will encourage and motivate my students to always work hard. The timer will help provide a visual as to how much time they are given to complete a task, and help them learn time management. The kids are going to absolutely love writing on the LCD tablets.So grateful for donors like you that help make sure that ALL Children have access to all of the materials they need to progress!”

• Fabulous Fifth Graders Need Ink for Success

  Funded Jun 11, 2021

  Thank you so much for your generous donation and for helping us save and preserve our ink. Ink is so important to help differentiate for all of the different learners in our class. The ink that you helped donate to our class helped us reach many learners in our room and helped us scaffold our lessons to make then attainable to all of our students. The donation of ink helped us allocate money to other essentials such as tissues, pencils, and other materials that we need in class as well since teachers only receive $225 to spend on essentials for their classrooms.”

• Take My Students to Hogwarts!

  Funded May 18, 2021

  Do you remember getting lost in a book as a child? Well, that is exactly what these books have helped my students achieve, a love of reading! These copies of Harry Potter include beautiful illustrations that catch the interest of the children. They borrow the books and take them out of our classroom library so that they can share them with their families. There is a waitlist for them, and all of the kids are excited for their turn with the book. They do a Harry Potter unit in gym, and these books help them connect with what they are doing in gym while sparking their imaginations. Thank you so much for giving these children such a love of reading!”

• Odds and Ends and Everything in Between!

  Funded Mar 30, 2024

  Denise, I cannot thank you enough for your generosity!!!!! When I got a notification that this project was funded I was completely flabbergasted to discover that you funded the entire project. My students will be over the moon when they see all of our new materials! Privacy boards will help provide my kids with a quiet workspace with little to no distractions, The magnetic spice racks and Magnetic file folders will help us keep our materials neat and organized. Our dry erase markers are quick to dry out, but your donation will help me to not have to ask families to pay for them. I want you to know that my students and I are truly appreciative for donors like you, and that you go above and beyond to make sure that ALL children have the materials needed to help them be successful. All of my kids are hard workers with big dreams, I promise to do my part to help them achieve those dreams. Thank you so much again!”

• The Magic Behind the Learning

  Funded Jan 18, 2024

  I am thankful so much for Donor's Choose. Thank you so much for caring about us teachers and our students. Many teachers go above and beyond with the $235 we get to spend on supplies a year. Our kids need so much more than that. Our students have survived the covid years and it is our job to help our kids be as successful as possible. This platform helps even out the curve, especially for our title one kids. I thank you so much, and I cannot wait to let all of my kids know about your generosity!”

• Laptop Needed for Distance Learning in a 5th Grade Classroom!

  Funded May 4, 2021

  I cannot even begin to explain how life changing it was to receive my new Macbook Air. This device helped all of my students receive uninterrupted live teaching during this pandemic. My new device is quick, and has plenty of storage for all of my lessons. The camera works and I have been taking impeccable care of this beautiful laptop. I cannot thank you enough for making this a possibility for me and my students. It is because of all of your kindness and generosity that this project was able to come to fruition. Teachers only receive $250 a year to spend on school supplies, and honestly that is just a drop in the bucket for all of the materials we need in order to show progress in our students. Thank you so much for making our dreams come true!”
