Thank you so much for your generous support of our class room. While it may not seem like important supplies, they will help motivate students as we enter the most tedious time of the school year. They will all be so excited to see the new incentives they can earn!”
Thank you so much for your generous donation to our class room. We have been using all of the organizational supplies since school began in August. Students have been able to keep their novels in convenient places. The pencil holder has been such a great addition to the class. Everyone knows exactly where to find sharpened pencils. The pencil toppers have helped decrease the number of "homeless pencils" on the floor at the end of the day. They are able to be quickly reunited with their owners.
It is shocking and almost funny how having basic cleaning supplies have improved our class room life. Spills are no longer twenty minute ordeals to clean up. Now, we can throw some paper towels on a mess and quickly go about our day. The large amount in this project has allowed us to share the supply with the other fourth grade class rooms.
Thank you so much for generously donating to our room and helping to keep students IN the class room and NOT walking back and forth to the bath room to get "paper towels".”
These vertical work spaces have had a huge impact in my class room. Students use them DAILY to work on math and reading assignments with their partners. They love to use the magnets to hold their papers to the board. Then they take turns leading the group and discussing their answers.
I have also seen students use the boards to show class mates how to spell words they need help with. My all time favorite though is to see them use the boards when "teaching" a concept to their peers. They take complete charge and "teach" a lesson.
These work spaces have enhances the collaborative work in our room!”

We are beyond excited to begin our book clubs this year with the novels in this project! When school began, I was able to have these novels on display. Naturally students were curious and began to read the blurbs and discuss which one they would read. We are set to begin reading them next week!
Your generosity is helping to foster a love of reading in 23 fourth graders! This will help propel their academic careers and create book memories that they will carry with them long after they leave our classroom.”

We had such a great time using the supplies in this project to set the tone for the school year. We talked about setting an intention for the school year. Then chose a word to represent that intention. The most fun part was making a bracelet with that word (and fun colors!). Every one has a pet rock on their desk. The rocks have names and personalities. The most unexpected part of the pet rocks is that they hold the students accountable for their work and behavior! "Would "Mr. Rock" approve of the choices you are making?"
Thank you again for your generosity and helping us start the year off on a positive note.”

Thank you for your generous donation to our classroom. These supplies have helped with the organization of our room. Which in turn makes our days run smoother and frees up more time for learning and collaboration among students.
The smaller anchor chart paper allows us to have entire walls dedicated to each subject, which is a dream! The anchor chart holder directs focus to our weekly lesson objectives.
Your donation has made a considerable impact in the daily running of our class room. Thank you again for generously contributing to our learning environment.”

Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. These items have allowed our reading and math groups to run smoother than ever! The laminator lets me save printed task cards for future classes to use. The leader of each group sits on the stool to conduct the group. It helps everyone to know who is in charge, and they all eagerly await their turn on the stool.
These few items may not seem like they would have a big impact on they running of a classroom, but they have. Again, thank you for your generosity.”

Your donations helped make this a day we will never forget. We learned so much through observation. Questions were raised that resulted in student led academic research. The oohs and ahhhs heard from all the students left a joyous impression on all of us that we will treasure. They were overjoyed when they came in and saw their bookmarks, suckers, and other decorations.
Throughout the day, countless students remarked that it was a day they would never forget. Thank you for helping to create a magical experience for our students.”
My students love to “sit around the room” while working. This allows them to be comfortable and more engaged in lessons and activities. However, tile floors and hard plastic chairs are not the most desirable seating.
With these cushion options, my students would be able to turn even the most uninviting surface into a comfortable learning environment. They will transform hard cold tiles and unforgiving plastic chairs into plush and welcoming seats. These cushions will be especially useful during our upcoming state testing (we have 3!) when students are required to test for up to 4 hours while sitting in one spot.
