Help Pay for Teachers Pay Teachers
Funded Nov 10, 2022Thank you so much for your support of this project. Our students are so fortunate to have people like you in their corner. Our teachers pay teachers gift card has allowed us to encourage their academic growth, particularly in vocabulary, by providing language alongside visuals to support their learning.
Our students are so excited every time they see new vocabulary on our vocabulary walls and continue to use these words throughout the year. Our grade can't wait to continue using the gift card to enrich our vocabulary in the future.”

Learning Together From a Distance
Funded Jan 12, 2021I am so grateful for your contribution towards this new and updated technology! Having been in a hybrid learning model since September, with constant changes, it is so helpful to have reliable technology that can run the most recent software. My students have become so tech savvy since last March and I am doing my best to keep up with their skills. We are also fortunate to know that this technology will last beyond remote and hybrid learning and we will be able to use this technology for many years to come.
We are so thankful for your support and generosity.”

This classroom project was brought to life by CAA (Creative Artists Agency) and 29 other donors.A New Math Center!
Funded Nov 7, 2019Thank you so much for your donation towards our new math center! Our classroom has become a space that we can navigate independently and effectively with your help!
Our new math center has impacted both the organization and efficiency of our classroom. By keeping math books grouped our students always know where their book is and storing the manipulatives in clear bins make it very accessible throughout our math lessons. Students no longer have to dig through piles of books or multiple bins to find what they are looking for.
When our math center arrived our class was SO excited to open the box to see what we received! There have been no complaints, missing books, or arguments while using our math center since getting it set up!
We are very grateful for such a supportive and generous community!”

What Do We Like? Organization!
Funded Nov 16, 2018I am are so thankful for the generous donations we have received from the Donors Choose community. My students
were warned that we would be receiving a "big box" and that our classroom layout would change slightly, however, they never imagined that we would get 3 boxes and that these boxes would be bigger than they are! To say they were excited (and curious) is an understatement!
An important aspect of my classroom is building student's independence and our previous furniture allowed that, however, we were limited with storage options. Not only did my students get to help set up the new furniture and organize it but it has increased their ability to access double the items in the classroom. The icing on the cake is that this new shelving unit (and clear bins) allow them to see everything inside and reach every single item stored in it. It truly makes them feel like the classroom belongs to them and that has always been the goal.
Without this community my classroom would not be able to grow and change with the needs of my students as seamlessly as it does and for that I thank you.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Staples.Getting the Hang of Organization With Seat Sacks
Funded Nov 16, 2018Thank you so much for your donation of seat sacks and seat socks! Our classroom has become a space that we can navigate independently and effectively with your help! The seat socks make our room a little bit quieter which many of us appreciate as too much noise is distracting and bothers our ears.
Our seat sacks have made a significant impact on our daily learning. Previously all of our materials were kept in bins on shelves. As a result a lot of time was spent transitioning back and forth to our bin if we forgot an eraser or needed glue. Now our materials are at our fingertips and it allows us to continue working without the distraction of someone walking across the classroom. We have received so many compliments on our new seat sacks from other teachers!
We are very grateful for such a supportive and generous community!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Staples.Puppets and Play-Doh and Fun, Oh My!
Funded Mar 27, 2018Thank you so much for your generous donations and support. My students were so excited when the box was opened to our puppets and play-doh! We had a wonderful time creating a puppet theater together for our puppets to perform in. The puppets have allowed my students to role play, tell stories, and change their voices for each puppet and they have been seamlessly integrated into our classroom!
We are using the play-doh for so many fun and exciting things in our classroom including spelling, letter formation, and of course PLAY!
Thank you for your ongoing support of students and education. We are so lucky to have a community as strong as you make it.”
