Funded Jun 6, 2024The students are absolutely thrilled to see this in the classroom! They have been asking when we are going to plant it, and are looking forward to the day that we plant some seeds ini the hydro-garden! Learning through experience is valuable and this is going to be an amazing opportunity for them to learn Mathematics and Science through plants. As we dive into 5th grade measurement and plants, I am so excited to see how this will encourage the curiosities of the students! I am so grateful for this opportunity I have to be able to conduct real life experiments with the students and so are they! Once again, thank you so much.”

Pages of Change: Empowering Young Minds Through Reading
Funded May 11, 2024My students have been so excited since the open house for these new books that they will have access to in school. "I love this book series!" "I can't believe you have the whole series!" These were some comments that students said as soon as they walked into the classroom. This year, we have a wide range of readers and they have been thriving in the classroom with these book sets.
Some of the students have loved these books so much that they have bought their own copies. It has been a thrill to watch the students thrive off of books because I truly believe that reading is so important, in so many aspects, for growing children. Again, I am so grateful for your generosity in donating to this cause.”

Old School? I Think Not!
Funded May 7, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donation in helping provide technology into the classroom. I have been able to do so much more with this device than I have imagined. I have been able to plan, take immediate information from student work, and put it up on the screen for all students to see.
I have also been using it to mark up teacher manuals with different colors and notes so that I can more effectively teach the students on what I need to do, what I need to say, and what the students need to be doing. Student learning has been starting to get very effective and I'm so thrilled to see what changes I'm going to see this year! Thank you again so much for your generous donation.”

Funded Jun 6, 2024This year, we have had multiple students in the classroom with different ethnicities, Native American heritage, and hispanic heritage. It has been eye opening to be able to tap into my culture as well as theirs and open their eyes of understanding the world through books.
It has been amazing to see the wonder in the students' eyes as they learn something about what is outside of their realm and every day life. I am so excited to see how this year will impact the students' point of view and attitude towards themselves and others. Thank you so much for your generous donation to provide multicultural books to the students in my classroom.”
