  • Sensory Seekers Seeking Sensory Tools

    Funded Dec 25, 2024

    When I woke up and saw this project was completely funded, I was shocked! Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity towards my students. This is going to be such a game changer for them! Sometimes, teaching students with special needs means thinking outside the box, and with your help I am able to do just that!”

  • Sensory Seekers Seeking Sensory Tools!

    Funded Mar 28, 2024

    Students with different abilities and special needs often search for sensory items to help them regulate and thrive throughout the school day. Unfortunately, these items are not as easy to get as pens and pencils are for the generosity of strangers. I was able to bring these items into my classroom to help my students regulate and succeeded. There is no doubt my students would not have any of these items if it wasn't for you thank you again for choosing kindness and my class to help them thrive and grow.”

  • Fun and Fine Motor!

    Funded Mar 28, 2024

    Teaching students with special needs, requires a variety of tools and manipulatives to help them succeed. Unfortunately many of the items they need are on a traditional school list and require reaching in traditional ways to get the supplies needed for my class. Thank you to your kindness and generosity. I was able to fully fund my daughters shoes and bring my students the items they need to succeed in the classroom and in life. Teachers are always trying to stretch their last time and without your help I would never have been able to bring these items to my class. Thank you again.”

  • Touch Screen for Hands-On Learning

    Funded Jun 19, 2024

    Many of our students use technology at home but are using it just for games and watching videos. Being able to bring a device into the classroom to help my students reach their max protection during assessments by giving them easier access is amazing. Not only are my students familiar with technology, they are able to access it in a brand new way that helps them both socially and academically. Without your kindness and generosity, this never would have been made possible. Thank you again for investing in my classroom and my little learners.”

  • Life Skills in Play!

    Funded Aug 30, 2023

    The classroom is place to learn so much more then just reading, writing and math. My students come in every day and learn how to communicate with their peers and familiar adults, and learn life skills that can help them achieve in every avenue of life. So many times, the needs of Special Education students are not met with the basic every day materials provided by schools. Thanks to your kindness and generosity, my students have the tools they need and deserve to grow to their fullest potential. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness.”

  • Kinder Keeps Learning!

    Funded Jun 6, 2023

    How can I express my thanks to you! Without your kindness and generosity, I wouldn't have nearly what I need to make sure my little learners have what they need to succeed in the classroom and in life. Teaching is not a linear professions. It is always growing and changing, and meeting your particular students needs is always a challenge. You need the right materials, right classroom and right supplies. I wouldn't be able to give them everything they need without your help. Just know, you have changed lives. Thank you, so much.”

  • Little Learners Library

    Funded Jun 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for helping my students to have an easily accessible library in our classroom. It's so important to have the right tools and resources for my students can thrive. Being able to organize their classroom library for them is ESSENTIAL for their learning and growing into little readers. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. I would not be able to supply my students with the necessities they need to succeed it it wasn't for people like you. I am always beyond grateful, and this time is no different. THANK YOU!!!!”

  • Sensory Seekers Seeking Supplies

    Funded Nov 30, 2022

    Being a teacher doesn't mean you every stop learning. Teaching students on the spectrum always teaches me something new. Sensory toys and fidgets help my little ones focus, calm themselves and self-regulate when they are over stimulated or trying to focus hard on a task. Without your donations, my class would not be thriving the way it is. The input they are receiving is making a world of difference for them. I would never be able to supply them with theses necessary items if it wasn't your kindness.”

Kindergarten is the beginning of it all! My classroom is home to a mix of K and 1st grade students who all have special needs. Special Education classes often require a lot of different tools and manipulatives to make sure everyone is learning to the best of their ability! Our school is high poverty, but a wonderful learning environment where everyone is helping each other the best they can. By getting the necessary supplies to help foster their growth in the beginning stages of their educational journey, every student can have a fair shot at an amazing education!
