  • Super Supplies for Special Students!

    Funded May 31, 2016

    Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom for my students. I have been able to use these supplies with my students and am also very excited to use them with my students again next year as well. The rolling shelf has really helped me organize books in my room (that I give out to students based on completed reading homework) and I have been able to roll the shelf around the school to hand out these books. The other supplies have been very helpful and have helped me organize the students classwork and continue to create great projects with the students. Thank you again for your very generous donations!”

  • Printing Our Dreams...

    Funded Apr 13, 2016

    Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom for my students. I am so excited that I will be able to print many more materials for my students with the supplies you have donated. Being a special educator, I print a lot of things-both for my students, their families and special education paperwork. It is greatly appreciated to have these supplies donated to my classroom so that I can spend more time working with my students then worrying about supplies that are needed. I am very excited for the new school year and can't wait to be able to use these supplies to help my students learn and grow.

    Thank you again for your very generous donations!”

    Funded Mar 13, 2016

    Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom for my students! They were so excited to receive the things you have donated and have loved using them within our math class! It has made math so much fun! The markers have helped me finish out this year (and start out next year) with brand new supplies, which always makes learning that much more fun and exciting!

  • Building On Our Math Skills with Legos!

    Funded Dec 2, 2015

    Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom. These Legos have been such an exciting addition to my classroom for my students! We have been using them for so many different activities and the students are loving them! We used them to learn long division and the students really understood the topics by being able to act out the problems with the lego blocks and the lego people. We are now working on fractions, and the legos are helping the students be able to create real models of the fractions to be able to truly understand what they are learning about. Thank you again for helping me create a STEM based learning environment for my students.

  • Creating Fluent Mathematicians!

    Funded Dec 5, 2015

    Thank you so much for your very generous donations to my classroom and my students! Your donations have helped me be able to give my students more resources to use to help with their mathematical fact fluency. We pull these games out in class a few times a week and the students use them to practice whatever fact fluency skill they are working on (addition, subtraction, multiplication and/or division). The students are HIGHLY motivated by these games and really love to play them. Thank you again for your very generous donations to my classroom.”

  • RAZ up our Reading!

    Funded Oct 29, 2015

    Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom. Your donations have made it possible for my students to gain so many more resources to help them as they become fluent readers. The students LOVE using this program and reading different books on the computer. They are fully immersed in their own learning and are showing ownership for their reading skills. I love that as they are gaining more skills, I can continue to challenge them and push them by raising the reading level they are at. At the same time, I can continue to put interventions into place for my lower level readers and continue to make sure they are getting the practice that they need. Thank you again for your very generous donations to my students and my classroom!”
