  • Building Lifelong Readers: Book Baggies for Success!

    Funded Feb 2, 2025

    Thank you so much for your support in providing my students with durable book baggies! These baggies have completely transformed how we engage with reading in our classroom.

    Each Thursday morning, our classroom turns into a cozy coffee shop, where students "go book shopping" and select new books to read for the week. This special time has made independent reading even more exciting, giving students a sense of ownership and choice in their learning. With their new book baggies, they can safely store and carry their books, making it easier to keep track of their reading materials.

    The excitement in the room on Thursday mornings is incredible! Students eagerly browse our classroom library, trade recommendations with their classmates, and carefully pack their book baggies with stories they can't wait to dive into. This routine has not only strengthened their love of reading but has also built a sense of independence and responsibility.

    Thanks to your generosity, my students now have a structured, engaging way to develop their reading skills while fostering a true love of books. Your support has made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful!”

  • Celebrating Black History Through Art and Stories!

    Funded Jan 28, 2025

    Thank you so much for your support in bringing these amazing materials to our classroom! Because of your generosity, my students now have access to engaging books and hands-on art supplies that are making a real impact on their learning.

    The Black History Books and The Story of Black History Box Set have been incredible resources, sparking curiosity and important discussions about influential African American artists, athletes, politicians, and more. Students have been excited to explore these stories, connecting them to our lessons and their own lives. These books have truly brought Black history to life in our classroom.

    In addition to reading, the Crayola paintbrushes and spill-proof paints have given students a creative way to express what they're learning. One of the highlights has been studying Jacob Lawrence and creating artwork inspired by his unique storytelling style. Students learned about the meaning behind his art—both in his time and today—gaining a deeper understanding of how art can tell powerful stories about history, struggle, and resilience.

    Thanks to you, my students are not only learning but also creating, engaging, and deepening their understanding in ways that wouldn't have been possible without your kindness. Your generosity has made a lasting difference, and we are so grateful!”

    Ms. Joycelyn

  • School Essentials!

    Funded Sep 22, 2024

    Thank you for your generosity and for supporting our classroom essentials project! The materials have already made a positive impact in our classroom.

    We've been using the resources during our daily lessons, especially in small group work and independent activities. The supplies have helped students stay organized and focused, and they've been a big help in keeping our classroom running smoothly.

    Looking ahead, these resources will continue to support our ongoing lessons, from math and writing practice to hands-on projects. They've helped create a more organized and engaging space for learning, and we're excited to keep building on that.

    Thank you again for your support—it truly makes a difference!”
