Social Studies in Kindergarten
Funded Aug 12, 2021Thank you so much for funding this gift card for Teachers Pay Teachers and I have to say this has to be one of my most favorite funded projects.
My students love the topics we are covering and they like that many of these topics are things they have never learned about or haven't thought about in these ways. We are also learning about places beyond the United States, which is helping them to become better global citizens and learn to respect people from diverse backgrounds.
Your generosity and support for our classroom are greatly appreciated!”

Funded Nov 5, 2021Thank you all so much! This is going to make a huge difference in my classroom!
I work hard to create a peaceful learning environment for my students. It's my goal for them to have the best experience they can have, while they are in my classroom.The materials you funded will help make it possible!
The support of the DonorsChoose community is overwhelming and I feel so blessed to know so many people value public education as much as you do. Thank you again for allowing me to provide these flexible seating options for my students.”

Shhhh...We Have A Secret!
Funded Nov 5, 2021As soon as the posters arrived, I placed them up on the wall. When my kids came into school the next day, they were so intrigued. They wanted to know the 'story' behind each poster! What a great way to motivate students to learn about the patterns in words.
The stories help young children, who are "concrete" thinkers, learn abstract and complex phonics patterns, acting as memory enhancers to help them remember the sound connections.
Thank you for giving our youngest learners tools to be successful readers and writers.”

Books Open A Whole New World For My Little Readers!
Funded Nov 5, 2021Thank you for your generous donations! You have made it possible for me to expand my library with books that represent all my students. It is very important that students see themselves in the books we read.
When I read to my students it is an interactive experience. We study the illustrations, we compare and contrast characters, we make predictions. Though many "box" curriculums come with books there is a lack of diversity and representation.
I have already seen the impact of the books that you helped to provide for my classroom. Students are making connections to character who look like them and who speak their language. My students are also learning about other cultures and traditions. This creates a classroom culture that is welcoming and kind to everyone.”

Funded Oct 7, 2016Thank you for your generosity and kindness. We were so excited when we learned that Target fully funded our project. My students needed stability ball chairs and wobble stools as alternative seating to keep their bodies engaged and their brains focused. Thanks to your amazing donation my students are able to attend to instruction while releasing energy.
The students are working their core muscles, posture, and stability while engaged in learning. They love the different choices they now have in the classroom. No more hard wooden chairs. The students can now choose from wobble stools, ball chairs and wobble cushions. It is amazing the impact these materials have made in our classroom. Thank you Target for supporting teachers and kids!”
