  • Vibe Tees

    Funded Dec 13, 2024

    My students are so pumped to be getting new shirts they can wear as part of their school uniform.

    I gave all of my students a blank t shirt template, where they each drew a design they would want to wear on a shirt. We ended up putting together a few of their designs, for an overall design revolving around kindness/inclusion. On it, will be a "kindness cactus," which is our school mascot.

    We will use our classroom Cricut machine to create our final product. I am so eager to finish making them, so we can pass them out to our students!”

  • With Liberty and Justice for All

    Funded Jan 21, 2025

    This project was funded just in time for us to begin learning about Martin Luther King Jr. and Black History Month as a whole.

    My students are SO invested in the topic and have been asking many good questions about different change makers in our country's history. All of my students are children of color and that is another reason for why this topic and these historical figures are so important to them.

    They went right to reading their brand new books at their desks and have even been telling stories about people they have read their books to at home.”

  • I Heart Art

    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    My after school art club is LOVING the projects we have been doing with our new materials.

    So far, we have used the washable paint, paint brushes, and paint cups to create awesome watercolor snowflake paintings. We have used the paper snowflake and tissue paper kit to make colorful "glass art" style snowflakes and the wooden hearts to create Valentine's Day ornaments. For Valentine's Day, I plan to give the mini canvases and acrylic paint sets to my students as their gift to bring home.

    My club of 11 artists and myself are so grateful for all of the art supplies we were able to secure with your help!”

  • A Cool Tool for Reading

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    My students and I wanted to thank you all for helping us secure more "finger trackers", as my students call them, for reading.

    I was able to send some tracking tools home with students and teach their parents about how to use them at conferences.

    Getting this project funded was huge because these reading tools help to boost my students' confidence while they're reading. Having additional resources allows a greater number of my students to grow confidently as learners. Your support is greatly appreciated!”

  • A December to Remember

    Funded Dec 4, 2024

    I wanted to give a huge shout out to our donors for bringing this project to life, just in time for the holidays! I was able to include the board games and picture books in Christmas gifts for my students, which were left under our classroom tree.

    My students enjoy playing the game Trouble at indoor recess and were jumping for joy when they saw they were getting their own game to keep at home. They were also excited to be receiving a book featuring one of their favorite characters, Pete the Cat!”

  • Inked Inspirations

    Funded Nov 1, 2024

    This project was a huge hit among my students! I was able to include these materials in Christmas gifts that were left for my students under our tree.

    I have many students this year who are very crafty and interested in art. They were thrilled to receive an array of colored markers to use in their new coloring books.

    Some of my students have even decorated their coloring pages to give to me, which I hung up behind my desk in the classroom.

    We extend a huge thank you to all of our donors for making this project possible for us!”

  • Extra! Extra! Read All About It

    Funded Sep 20, 2024

    I am so thankful for your willingness to support students outside of my everyday classroom, for my newsletter club. Unfortunately, due to low enrollment, the club was cut from the after school program.

    In better news, I am now one of the two teachers who is running the grades 1 & 2 STEM club. While I am still in search of ideas for how to use the printer for my science club, I know my classroom will also greatly benefit from its use. In the meantime, I have attached some photos of awesome student artwork that was created using the box of paper we got as a part of this project.

    We have been using the high quality paper we received for student guided drawing artwork. My students have created some beautiful pieces of art and they even commented on how much they love this paper because of how durable it is when they need to erase!”

  • Eyes on the Prize

    Funded Dec 21, 2023

    All of our materials came today for this project, which is super exciting! Every Friday in our class, we host a mini Love Note raffle. Love Notes are tickets that our students can earn for showing skills such as responsibility, kindness, hard work, etc. They can enter these tickets into our classroom raffle, redeem them for prizes, or even enter them into our school-wide raffles for bigger prizes.

    Starting today, we were able to offer the Smencils and scented sand cups from this project, as prizes. These items, we allow our students to redeem 10 Love Notes for. The fidgets, we added to our prize bin for students to choose if their Love Note is drawn from our in-class raffle. 4 students traded 10 Love Notes for either a Smencil or sand cup today and 7 students were chosen from the raffle and enjoyed some new fidgets.

    Thank you for helping me give my students these opportunities to have their exemplary behavior and hard work rewarded!”

    With gratitude,

  • The Belly Rules the Mind

    Funded Dec 4, 2023

    This project has been a HUGE success at our school! All of the materials have arrived and were sorted and packaged up this morning. We were able to fill 52 bags to send home with students in grades 1-5, so that they can have food and snack items to enjoy during our winter break.

    Our kids will be home for 11 days and these care packages will be a huge help for our families in need. The goal is to distribute and send students home with these bags today (12/20) after school.

    Our school's student support team and some of our fabulous 5th graders helped me to sort our items, package up our bags, and clean up all those shipment boxes. Huge team effort! Thank you donors for helping to care for our kids!! It means the world to us and our families!”
