  • Hola, Hello! We Are Ready to Learn.

    Funded Oct 23, 2020

    These supplies have been fantastic in virtual learning as well as our occasional forays into in person learning. They have made the difference in engagement. Often just having plenty of supplies for each student to have their own makes modeling and practice so much more engaging and fun. We love the white boards and all the colorful markers. The students have been able to move away from technology and away from worksheets and toward hands on learning. Thank you so much for every thoughtful donation! Our students are as grateful as I am.”

  • Hola! Hello! We Are Bilingual!

    Funded Sep 30, 2020

    These materials are amazing for our young readers. The abc books went right into a DL classroom and they are used daily. The bilingual centers offer a hands on way to explore how sounds and syllables make words in Spanish. The students haven't yet been able to return In person. But as soon as they do these materials will help them catch up to the current standards. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are so grateful for your generosity. Your kindness will love on year after year as our immersion program continues. Thanks for starting us off right.”

  • iPad, You Pad, We All Learn Together!

    Funded Sep 3, 2020

    Hello! After months of waiting I finally got the new iPad for my classroom. With the start of school I actually went ahead and bought myself a new computer. Then of course the iPad funded, so I set out to find a needy teacher at my school. I gifted her the iPad and she cried. She had been struggling with teaching dual language pre K with pretty sub par ancient refurbished equipment the district had provided. She is a brilliant engaging teacher and I can attest that having this iPad made her job more about teaching and less about technology. If only we could have this set up for every teacher on my hall. Not many of us can afford to supply our own technology, so I thank you. It was such a blessing to be able to swoop in and solve a problem for a struggling teacher. We are truly all in this together and your generosity has been a blessing.”

  • I Can Count to 100!

    Funded Jan 1, 2020

    These games were amazing for my small group ELL learners. They learn math in English and there is such a need for extra practice with basic counting and sorting even now at the end of the year. Academic words like shorter and equal are not in their vocabulary and in order to test well, they need plenty of practice with games like these. It's the novelty and choice that pull them into learning and we could not have made such progress without these tools. Thank you so much for helping my students learn and grow.”

  • Have a Ball!

    Funded Dec 11, 2019

    The students is blue hall were thrilled to have balls at recess. They couldn't believe their fortune. Unfortunately it's taken a bit of time to get photos of all our athletes because we've had a bunch of days below 40 degrees and a lot of rain and wind. That doesn't mean we haven't gotten to play. I just haven't been able to get out there at recess for photo opportunities. The kids are definitely running more, cooperating with each other and devising games to use the balls. Each class in Kindergarten and first grade got a soccer ball and a basketball. We labeled them so the big kids don't take them and each teacher was thrilled to give their scholars these supplies. It may not be reading, writing or arithmetic, but our kids who play hard are ready to learn after a recess with this new equipment. Kids are showing leadership and communication skills. We teachers are enjoying watching our kids play! As Piaget said, "Play is the work of childhood." Thank you so much for caring about our students.”

  • A B C ya Later!

    Funded Jun 19, 2019

    This sensory bin and all its accessories has been a minefield of learning in Kindergarten. Students never get tired of finding their letters and putting them together to make words. Our materials are engaging and highly interesting to all the students and it continues to be a favorite of all students. The sand is such high quality and so soft and easy to clean. The students have maintained it and are careful to preserve the center for future playtimes. This has been a wonderful addition to our rigorous learning and also a sneaky way to have fun without worksheets. Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness.”

  • Lego My Legos!

    Funded Sep 23, 2019

    These are the coolest Legos I've ever seen. The students can explore emotions, they can build and design and they spark the most interesting conversations. They are also enjoying the wooden people, the barn and the other manipulatives that arrived. Thank you so much for your generous donation to our students. These materials help learning come alive. The students can use both their background knowledge and their imaginations to create worlds and stories beyond our four walls. We so appreciate our new materials. They have sparked a joy in the students and they are eager to explore and learn more because of them.”

  • Diversity and Tolerance

    Funded Sep 16, 2019

    These diversity dolls were the talk of the classroom. The students love all of them and they spent time discussing the outfits and features of the dolls. They made them meals and continue to enjoy them in their housekeeping center. The lovely supplies mixed in the box allow the students to create art with their own features and have helped them to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of other cultures through clothing, music, foods and play.

    My favorite part of this project is the wonderful array of books. They have vivid pictures, plenty of content to tie to our state standards and they allow every culture and color to be represented in the classroom. It's a wonderful tool to be able to open our minds to the greater world around us. It has been a joy to watch the children learn and play with our new supplies. I'm so grateful. Thankyou.”

  • Walking Into Reading!

    Funded Jun 6, 2019

    I'm sorry I couldn't post pictures with kids. Each teacher keeps their own slips of permission to post. I do wish you could feel the excitement for the dots in the hallway and the whispered reading. The young kindergarten kids are enjoying the exposure but the older first graders are showing what they know. Teachers are using them and it's bwcome a part of our hallway procedures. Even our wiggleworms move a word here or there, but they are noticing and talking about the tricky words. I love the excitement it brings to our hallway and our students are enjoying them too. Thank you so much!”

  • Sharpened Pencils, Sharpened Minds!

    Funded Feb 15, 2019

    The pencil sharpeners were a delight to our classrooms. Students and teachers felt such relief at being able to grab what they need to do their assignments. The magnatiles were also the biggest hit. The students are eager to build new more elaborate creations daily and you can see the higher level thinking as they discuss how to build higher or which shapes go together. It's authentic learning.

    I don't think I can express the wonder of a new nice material coming into our school. The students are very grateful and especially careful with these new manipulatives.

    We are all thankful for you and your caring. Thank you!”

I have a class of sweethearts all eager to learn and ready to play. Several of my students are ELL and all come from a pretty poverty stricken background. Often both parents are working and the students are left to help take care of the youngers. In some ways they are very self sufficient and in others there are heartbreaking stories. It's not unusual for me to call on our community resources to bring shoes to fit a child or to seek out a special lovey for a child who is essentially homeless. But kids are kids and they are full of energy and a real interest in the world around them. As part of a community school we do a lot to foster relationships with our parents and they are invited to come to my class often throughout the year. Students are working hard to master the alphabet this year and become early readers. It's a huge undertaking when several students have never held a pencil much less written their name. I will leave you with two short stories about my class. On the first day of school, I read "First Day Jitters" to my class. The teacher in the story had a Dad who woke her up to go to school. I had a student who took exception to the fact that a teacher could have a dad and he kept saying "God made teachers." I finally just agreed with him, because there was no convincing him that teachers aren't special. The second story is about a class rule. From Day 1 I worked on procedures with my class. We use Whole brain teaching rules and Rule #2 is Raise your hand for permission to speak. The kids were brilliant learning these rules and as a teacher I can shout out Rule number 2 and every student echoes it back while making the motions that go along with it. On day 6 of school when my class continued to be noisy, I asked the question, "What does it mean to speak? and the room got awfully quiet. Not one student raised their hand. They'd learned the rule, but I'd forgotten some simple vocabulary. We had to learn the word "speak". This will for sure not be the last time I'm reminded to slow down and come at my students with every teaching strategy and game choice I can. They need a rich robust vocabulary and a strong reading and language rich classroom. The few hours they spend with me need to be jam packed with interesting and relatable lessons. I'm committed to bring them this opportunity to learn and grow every day.
