  • We Are In Need of Classroom Supplies

    Funded Oct 27, 2018

    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.”

  • iLove iPad for iReady

    Funded Jan 31, 2022

    Thank you so much for this much needed piece of technology in my classroom. My students absolutely love having the ability to use the ipad to play music, one talented student uses it to become inspired by art and color. She uses to find other artists. Its a wonderful tool to quickly research.

    My students have been able to enhance their learning through the use of educational applications and websites. They also enjoy going on the Internet to find more information about the topics they are currently learning about. My students are having so much fun researching and learning with our new ipad.

    Thank you so much for supporting their learning and investing in their future! We feel so lucky to have a great supporter who care about their education.”

  • Necessary Classroom Materials for Third Grade.

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    We cannot thank you enough for your generosity to my 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, thank you!! Without your help, this project would not have become a reality!”

  • My Students are Outstanding!

    Funded Dec 26, 2017

    We thank you so much for your donation to our classroom treasure box. Students have been working extra hard to earn tickets in order to turn them in on Friday's for a prize. Once students have earned 10 tickets they may turn them in for a prize of their choice.

    Students were extremely excited to see what prized they would be able to choose from. On a daily basis, students are telling me what prize they are going to choose from next time. All of the little toys such as bouncy balls items have been an especially big hit.

    The colorful pens have also been a favorite of the class. This item really makes learning fun and gets everyone engages when students are using it.”

    Funded Aug 18, 2017

    My classroom kids are so very excited to have name tags. Not only are they beautiful, they are coming in handy with some classroom activities. Today we took pictures, so you could see how happy they are to have them. We also sorted names by beginning sound and tomorrow we will practice lining up using our name tags. My class loves to look at them and they sure do love to have something to call their very own. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous contribution. P; lease know that you are cherished by my class and me!”

  • Our Class Desperately Needs Basic School Supplies!

    Funded Jan 4, 2017

    Thank you so much for your donations! It's amazing to re-read the list of supplies you donated, and realize that my students are using so many of these items already. Post its, small teaching easel and anchor charts all being used daily!

    My students are having so much fun! I love using the post-its in activities meant to enhance and engage kids in our lessons. We have been using them for note-taking, color coding our reading, charts, and interactive bulletin boards.

    The children were so excited when this large box came in our class. It helped motivate students that were not that engaged. Anything that gets them engaged in learning I'm willing to try. They used the Post-It's for a collaborative project as well for Science.

    I have so many plans for my class! All of the Post-It's will go to great use! Thank you again for your contribution.

    These are just a few examples of how your donations are already helping my students. Thank you so much! I am so grateful to have your support.”
