  • Classroom of Opportunity

    Funded Aug 5, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generosity! This year have been nothing short of perseverance, consistency and motivation from our 2nd graders. These seats will help our small group be even more inclusive with our diverse learners in their least restrictive environment. They thrive on "alternate teaching" and having those specialized seating will help give them comfort, encourage engagement and foster being focus during the lessons.

    We are so thrilled to be given this donation and look forward to great lessons and active learning being in their small group space! Thank you again and best wishes for 2024!"”

  • Classroom Supplies to Thrive

    Funded Aug 5, 2023

    Thank you so much for transforming our learning space to make it more engaging, hands on and inviting. Our students were so thrilled to receive all these materials. Specially, their folders for Writing workshop encourages structure and independence, which is our goal as a class this year.

    Students are enjoying using the expo markers in math centers to work on hands on foundational skills using their dry erase white board. The are also using the assorted dry erase markers in "Word Study" block to foster our literacy block. During this time, students are mapping and graphing their word list using their elkonin boxes and markers.

    We were able to use the laminating sheets to create a lasting and durable sound wall, sentence starters, name tags, vocabulary words, station tags, and various labels around the classroom. We couldn't be more thankful for your generosity to helping make our class feel warm, safe, and fun to learn! Many thanks again!"”

  • Hey Google, Play Our Favorite Song...

    Funded May 29, 2022

    It was fun for the students to test out the Google Assistant ! When we asked, What is the weather?" Or How do you spell.....

    Google Assistant has been so much fun to have in the classroom. Google Assistant tells when it was created. We also tried to ask about the weather, where is the closest grocery store, as well as ask Google Assistant to set a timer for an activity.

    I am sure there are other commands we will try out later, but it was great to have students practicing how to look things up with Google Assistant. This also brings forward the option for the students to use their smart phones' built-in assistants to practice when they are outside of the classroom.

    Thank you so much for making learning fun”

  • Virtual Resources to Help Us Learn!

    Funded May 4, 2021

    Thank you again for your kindness and generosity in funding this project and for making distant learning possible for everyone. Words cannot express how thankful I am for your donation to fund this project. Your generosity is truly heartfelt. My students will benefit greatly from having access to the resources available on Teachers Pay Teachers. I have been busy downloading and printing the new resources. Teachers know what works best and what they need to help their students learn. Teachers often spend a lot of time and energy to create these things. Teachers Pay Teachers is a platform to be able to share what was created by teachers for teachers. Your donation has helped me purchase a few bundles that have differentiated lessons. My students love them. They are easy to follow and very engaging. Not only am I able to give my students new interactive assignments provided through Teachers Pay Teacher, but I am also able to support hard working teachers by purchasing items they have created. I appreciate your support!!”

  • Basic School Supplies in Need

    Funded Oct 23, 2020

    Thank you for providing our class with these fantastic materials! My students were so excited to receive new materials. They are looking forward to using their new supplies in their writing projects.

    I overheard some of the children discussing their excitement about having new materials to work with. You REALLY have made a great impact on my third grade students!!! The memorial, is extra special.

    In the future, my hope is to provide my students with additional materials that encourage creativity, collaboration, and allow for further integration of art in the curriculum. The arts are a crucial part of a well-rounded education. Thank you all so much for your donation and support towards this project! I am once again amazed by the kindness and generosity of spirit towards supporting classrooms in need. It really does make a difference.”

  • My Students Want to Write!

    Funded Feb 3, 2019

    We cannot thank you enough for your generous donation for our project! The students were super excited to begin using their pens today for the first time!

    The first activity we used these colorful pens for was to browse student notebooks looking for commonly misspelled words. Students then added them to a personal word wall to use as a reference for future assignments. My students are more motivated to write their stories because of the wonderful supplies you help make possible.

    Once again, we thank you!! Without your help this project would not have become a reality!”
