  • Black History for All!

    Funded Apr 9, 2025

    Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in helping fund our Black History books and classroom supplies through DonorsChoose! Your support has brought meaningful, culturally rich resources into our classroom that will educate, inspire, and empower my students for years to come.

    The books you helped provide offer powerful stories and voices that reflect the rich history, struggles, achievements, and contributions of Black individuals—many of whom my students can see themselves in. These books are already sparking important conversations, deeper understanding, and a stronger sense of pride and identity.

    The additional supplies have made it easier for us to fully engage with these texts—through group discussions, creative projects, and reflective writing activities. Your support goes far beyond materials; you've given my students the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and valued.

    Most importantly, thank you for investing in our education and our future. Your generosity reminds my students that there are people who believe in them, root for them, and want to see them succeed.

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our classroom and helping us celebrate history, culture, and the power of learning.”

    On behalf of my students and myself, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of the gross motor and sensory materials, including stress balls and wooden wobble boards. Your thoughtful contribution has made an incredible impact on our classroom environment.

    These materials have been a game-changer for my students. They now have the tools they need to focus, attend, and engage more effectively in classroom activities.

It has been amazing to see how these resources help my students stay focused and participate more actively in lessons.

  • Literature for Special Needs Learners: Harry Potter Novel Study

    Funded Dec 13, 2024

    I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generosity and support in funding our class project, "Literature for Special Needs Learners: Harry Potter Novel Study." Your contribution has made a tremendous difference for my students.

    Earlier this year, my students had the wonderful opportunity to dive into the first book of the Harry Potter series, The Sorcerer's Stone, and they were absolutely captivated. Thanks to your kindness, we have now begun reading the second book, The Chamber of Secrets, and it's been such an enriching experience for all of us.

    These remarkable novels have sparked engaging, thought-provoking discussions among my students, broadening their minds and expanding their imaginations. Without your support, they would not have had access to these valuable resources, and I truly appreciate your investment in their future.

    The books have inspired a renewed interest in reading throughout our class. In fact, we've even read some of the novels together as a class, which has helped foster a greater love for literature. One of my students shared, "I really love reading now!"

    Thank you again for helping to ignite this passion in my students and for making a lasting impact on their lives. You truly are a hero in their journey to becoming lifelong lovers of literature. YOU are amazing!”
