  • Comfy Coats

    Funded Jan 22, 2025

    The smiles of those receiving a new warm coat are immeasurable. They smile from ear to ear and no longer worry about the blistery wind or water because most coats are water resistant. The coats were distributed to students across all grade levels within the school. Your contribution has helped me bring a warm winter to many students.

    Thank you for funding my project and helping me reach students with needs that may not otherwise be able to be easily met. This season is especially cold, and your partnership in keeping these little ones warm is greatly appreciated!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wishy

  • Reading to Build Deep Understanding

    Funded Dec 25, 2024

    Thank you so much for the books to help my students build a deep understanding of the text. The pictures loaded are a layout of where they were to go, using the texts YOU provided. My students loved hearing and interacting with the books. The colorful pages and interesting events were captivating to them. This helped them produce great responses based on what we have done in preparation as a class and through small group work.

    Thank you for joining in our exciting adventures. The kids loved the books.

    In partnership,”

  • A Tissue for Our Issues

    Funded Jan 30, 2024

    Thank you so much for considering and funding our classroom project. Perfect as you can see from this sneezing season, the tissues are priceless! The students love the pride of receiving mail and putting away their mail while building organizational skills. The paper helps our classroom vocabulary and other key information work stand out! Students measure using the meter sticks and build data and graphs based on this data. The classroom is buzzing with excitement. My hard-working ICT class and I appreciate your kind donation so much.”

  • This and That

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    Your incredible generosity has allowed me to do so much with my students in need. We notice and wonder about books and talk about that, then we find answers as we are reading. The room is clean, colorful, and organized thanks to the disinfectant wipes and the bright colorful paper and folders.

    It is easy to stay organized and have the classroom pop. Everyone loves a poppin' classroom. The markers and the paper really make things stand out and look awesome.

    Thank you so much again!

  • Preparing with Paper

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    When I found out this project was funded I was elated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. With these materials I organized my student folders by subject, enabling me to teach students organizational skills. In addition, I was able to make labels for each student for their buddies, and a chart to display reading groups. Next, the bright paper you donated is being used to print vocabulary and

    Chart paper is used to work in small groups, where I can work as a facilitator. It is so much fun to see my students disagree, talk about it, and come to the correct solution as a team.”

  • Writing in ICT

    Funded Apr 6, 2023

    Thank you for helping our class write in an ICT class. We greatly appreciate it! We could make colorful fraction strips to learn to compare fractions and order them. In addition, we explored new reading knowledge with our pencils and sticky notes using our core texts. We later used this information gathered to create a written response. We learned so much about immigration and fractions. Thank you for helping and taking part in our learning.

    In addition, my students were shocked to learn about donations and that if a person were a good writer, they could get such grants, which motivated them to want to be better writers. Thanks for the real-world lesson too!”

Help our classroom take amazing and exciting journeys to the far corners of the world and universe. Let us see the breathtaking Himalayan Mountains, the ancient pyramids of Egypt and the moons of Saturn. And, while we are traveling, we can learn English grammar and reading skills. An iPad is the ticket to taking these educational virtual adventures. My third grade English Language Learners attend a Title I school where budget monies are stretched thin and funds for new books and supplies are limited. Many students come from homes without computers or tablets. Students are diverse in cultures and learning styles but all are quickly captivated and engaged with hands-on activities.
