  • Getting Back to It in the History Classroom!

    Funded Sep 23, 2021

    Thank you so much for helping me bring in supplies for my classroom.

    The markers, color pencils, and rulers have been used often in my room. In fact. Kids want even more of them!

    As we have been battling with COVID these last couple of years, I have tried making these lessons fun, engaging, and educational. These supplies help me so much! They really allow the students to express their individuality and creativity.

    Even though I cannot possibly explain enough, my students and I really appreciate your help and donation.

    We all hope you had a wonderful and safe holiday season.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Paiva

  • Supplying a Stockton History Classroom!

    Funded Dec 21, 2019

    My students and I are so grateful for your contributions! As you know, many of my students come from low income households and have benefited immensely from your gifts. Each student now has a folder where they keep all their papers. These folders help the students stay organized in class - which is an important skill!

    Many students were relieved to find that they did not have to buy a folder themselves and were excited to get to choose which color they wanted. We use them everyday; they are an invaluable resource in our classroom.

    As I like to have students do projects, the colored paper and colored pencils have been extremely needed. My students and I are thankful for your help in getting these supplies!

    Thank you for helping a teacher who only wants the best for her students. We are all beyond grateful.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Paiva

  • Supplying the History Classroom

    Funded Aug 17, 2019

    Once again I would like to thank you for donating to my classroom. Your donations have been a HUGE help already and I know they will continue to be as we go through the school year.

    Right now I am teaching World Geography and World History and it makes me so happy because it they are my two favorite subjects to teach!

    My courses are full of projects, maps, games, simulations, and activities. The supplies I received have made it sure that each student can get their own supplies. The paper has allowed the students to make a mistake and start over without me worrying whether my next period will have enough for their projects as well. Scissors, tape, and staples are always a necessary part of the classroom and the students use them everyday!

    Thank you again for making my classroom a well-equipped, fun, learning environment! My students and I cannot thank you enough!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Paiva

My school does not have printer paper for teachers who need to make copies. We are expected to spend our own money if we want to make copies. In addition to that, while there are laptops in the classroom, I was only allotted 33 when I have two periods of 38 students and one period of 36 students making it difficult to do online assignments. This means I have to make more copies! I will also need scissors, staplers, and tape/tape dispensers for students to do interactive activities. I like my students to do projects in the class, especially to benefit students who don't have the capability to do projects at home. And for that I need more paper as well.
