  • Desk Madness, Oh My! Help Us Tell the Clutter Good Bye!

    Funded May 6, 2011

    We cannot thank you all enough for our Seat Sacks. It seems like such a small and menial little thing, but it makes a big difference to the daily running of a classroom. We have so many workbooks and so much stuff to keep in our desks, that these young children just have a hard time keeping things neat and organized. Having the seat sack on the back of their chair has provided them an extra place to store things. Not just anything, though. They have specific items that belong in their seat sacks so that they can always find them. These include their pencils, journals, and take home folders.

    The fact that people from all over care enough to provide such a little thing for kids (and their teacher) shows them the world is a good place and people love them. Thank you so much for helping out!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Gibson

  • First Graders Need More Educational Music

    Funded Feb 11, 2011

    I cannot thank you enough for your donation to my classroom. The Dr. Jean cd library that you helped provide has brought a new excitement and energy into my first grade classroom. My students welcome the break they get from sitting at their desks to sing and dance to these fun and educational songs. Thanks to songs about the letter sounds, continents, oceans, and more, they get to have a wiggle break while learning.

    Before I placed this project on Donors Choose, I had a small library of educational music. Although my students loved the songs we had, they were ready for something new. The extensive library is something I have always wanted to provide, but financially, could not.

    These Cd's will be used by me and enjoyed by students for years and years to come. It is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

    Thank you again for your generous donations!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Gibson

    This classroom project was brought to life by The Horace Mann Companies and 3 other donors.
I have 18 amazing first graders! This class is one of my favorite classes ever, and I REALLY mean that! They are fun, high-spirited, sweet, caring, generous, and super smart! They LOVE to learn. I know because they tell me they do. We are a Title I, low income school, but my students don't let that stop them from putting forth their best effort. This class has responded really well to music, but my collection is very limited.
