  • Gardening, Reading ,Writing Support, and Headphones

    Funded Sep 20, 2024

    This donation has done wonders for our class. Our students have enjoyed learning about plants and what they can do in order to grow some on their own. Gardening and planting resources donated to our classroom have had a powerful and long lasting impact on the students, the learning environment, and the school community. These resources have provided hands-on learning experiences, improved mental and physical well-being, foster responsibilities, and encouraged environmental awareness.

    One of the biggest benefits of having gardening resources in the classroom is the way they enhance learning. Students can apply lessons in science, math, and even language arts through hands-on activities. For example, when planting seeds, students learn about plant life cycles, photosynthesis, and ecosystems. They can measure plant growth, record observations, and even write journal entries or stories about their gardening experiences. These real-world applications make learning more exciting and meaningful.

    Gardening also teaches responsibility and patience. Students learn that plants need daily care, including watering, weeding, and monitoring for pests. They see firsthand that their efforts make a difference in how the plants grow. This sense of responsibility extends beyond the classroom, helping students develop a stronger work ethic and accountability in other areas of their lives.

    Another major impact of the gardening program is on the students' mental and emotional well-being. Research has shown that spending time in nature and engaging in gardening activities can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance focus. For students who may struggle with anxiety or have difficulty sitting still in a traditional classroom setting, working with plants provides a calming and productive outlet. It allows them to take breaks, get their hands in the soil, and experience the satisfaction of nurturing something to life.

    Gardening also promotes teamwork and collaboration. Many gardening tasks require students to work together, such as digging, planting, watering, and harvesting. This fosters communication, problem-solving, and cooperation skills, which are essential for success both in school and later in life. By working as a team, students learn to listen to each other, divide responsibilities”

  • Basic Supplies

    Funded Dec 25, 2018

    This donation has impacted my students greatly! They were so excited and surprised! They could not believe that people would donate to them and their classroom. It was truly wonderful!

    They were able to have the supplies that they needed and were not able to have. Sometimes in public schools supplies can be scarce and there is not much to go around so your donation made a true impact.

    My students thank you and your efforts and hope that you continue to impact the lives of many other students in our public school systems.”

I teach a self- contained special education middle school ELA and math class, within a high poverty- title one school, with a diversified group of learners. My students exhibit struggles with their core academic areas, with some struggling in math and most struggling in reading. In addition there is also a large population of students in the class that are English language learners who exhibit extreme language arts deficiencies. Despite their learning struggles and limited resources my student's enjoy learning and exhibit great efforts in the classroom. As a special education teacher I want to be able to provide my students with the maximum level of support and intervention to help them reach their academic goals.
