• Bouncing Through Our Learning!

  Funded Dec 26, 2016

  Thank you so much for funding this project! This project has helped me add in creative seating into my classroom! These balls have helped my students gain more ownership over their learning as they are able to choose the appropriate seat for themselves on a specific day. It has helped my students that have to move around a lot, be able to do so while continuing to learn and complete work. Adding these balls to my classroom has helped me create a new type of learning environment which is really helping my students to succeed. Thank you again for helping me create this environment for my students! It is greatly appreciated by them and myself.”

• Using Life Skills in our School Community!

  Funded Jan 1, 2017

  Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom. I have been able to use the materials in this project to create hands-on units for my students where they are practicing life skills through real-world settings. My students are pretending to be in a restaurant where they create a menu, take orders, add up the total amount of money due, collect money and give change. They are using the map game to create a map using specific directions. I have been able to create a lot of activities using the Velcro that my students are now using on a daily basis. Thank you so much for your generous donations to my classroom and for helping me create an exciting learning environment for my students.”

• Fabulous Fluent Readers!

  Funded Nov 30, 2016

  Thank you so much for the reading fluency and comprehension activities. When I brought them up to the students, they were so excited! They were so excited to read in pairs, share with each other and be able to "test" each other once they were done. The students worked so well together and were so interested in being able to read more than one! I was shocked to see this and so proud of them! Thank you for helping me be able to infuse a love of reading and excitement into a time of day where the students aren't always motivated and/or excited about learning.”

• Supplies for Super Students!

  Funded Nov 29, 2016

  Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom. Your donations have made it possible for my students to gain more supplies that they need in order to be successful in school. These supplies aren't always high on the priority list, but as the school year moves on, they are very much needed in order to organize our learning and have a positive, interactive learning space.

  My students are so excited about the pens that they get to use during writing projects and I am very excited about the large amount of tissues and zip lock baggies we have in order to keep ourselves germ-free and organized.

  Thank you again for your donations and for helping me create an inviting, exciting learning space for my students.”

• 3-D Printing With Some Super Special Students!

  Funded Mar 9, 2016

  Thank you so much for donating to this project and making it possible for my school and students to receive an amazing 3-D printer. We were able to use it a few times last year to create characters around a school event we were having. I am super excited to use it this year with 3rd-5th graders. The plan is to have students learning about perimeter and area. After they do that, they will create an object with a specific perimeter or area and then use specific coding and 3-d printing software to create that object, which will then be sent over to the 3-d printer! The students are very excited about this and I can't wait to show off the things that they create.

  Thank you again for helping me bring more technology to our school and share new and exciting opportunities with our students.”

  Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom for my students! They were so excited to receive the magazines you have donated and have loved using them within our math class!

• Let's Create Interactive Notebooks!

  Funded Aug 1, 2016

  Thank you so much for your donations towards my classroom and towards interactive notebooks for my students! My students and I were so excited when these materials were delivered! The students now have different colored notebooks for different subjects and we were able to make different interactive notebooks to go along with the different things we're learning about! The students have a math interactive notebook for 5th grade-where we are able to work on specific common core standards, as well as a word problem of the day and then also math puzzles. There is also a reading/writing interactive notebook-where my students are able to keep track of everything we are learning about, as well as having reference sheets to help them as they learn to find evidence in text.

  Thank you so much for the donations. They are so greatly appreciated!”
