  • Supplies, Supplies. Supplies!

    Funded Nov 30, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donation towards my classroom! My students were able to gain access to lots of supplies needed for their 1st grade year!

    Thanks to your help, my students have access to the materials needed to do well! We are truly grateful that you decided to choose us to support! You are making such a difference for each and every student in my class. For example, we now have a visual schedule in our classroom that we laminated.

    My students are now able to clearly see their daily schedule in 1st grade. My students love having class jobs. With the posters, we are able to display our class jobs in our classroom. The colorful paper is making our classroom bright.

    Thank you so much for your act of kindness!”

  • Our Colorful Work!

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    Thank you again for your donation of the wonderful printer and ink to our class. The class was so excited when the package arrived and they couldn't wait to see what had been purchased for them. When the box was opened and they realized it was a printer, they shouted so loud that we could barely calm them down!

    The printer has been setup in the classroom and has been used by students and teachers. We are using the printer to print our guided reading books in color.

    It is quite obvious that your donation has created endless opportunities for learning in our class and we couldn't be more grateful for your generosity.”

    We are so greatful for the Math manupulatives that were funded and purchased for our class. The manipulative are being used to help us learn new math concepts as we go through our math curriculum.

  • Let Them See It!

    Funded Nov 25, 2020

    During this pandemic it has been so hard as an educator to jump in and teach remotely. By funding this document camera it has made my life so much easier. This camera has

    helped me to share documents with my students in real time so that learning can continue to be seamless.

    This document camera is exciting to my students because they are able to see me model their work and it helps them to understand what is happening as I am teaching. They are also able to see each others work and we can correct and review work at the same time.

    The students are so excited to be able to share and explain their work to each other. They love seeing their work displayed and highlighted under the camera. This piece of technology has helped us so much during this remote learning. We are so thankful for your help in making this transition so much easier.”

  • We Are Learning Remotely! We Are in This Together!

    Funded May 28, 2020

    Thank you so much for the support during this pandemic. The easel received was used to help me teach my students during my synchronous teaching. The easel helped me to display the lesson being taught. It also helped me to demonstrate how to solve math problems that I could not eplain during an asynchronous lesson.

    My students were very pleased to see the easel. They said it was just like being in the classroom. They were also able to talk me through how to do a problem because they were able to see the work being done in front of them. The easel also helped during our writing sessions. I was able to demonstate the writing process like I was in the classroom.

    As school is back in session, I will continue using the easel for remote instruction. This easel has been a blessing. I do not have to continue using tape on my walls and my work for my students can be organized whether I am using the easel or adding chart paper to it. Thank you again!”

  • FUNDRAISING MADE FUN!!!!!!

    Funded Dec 4, 2019

    We are excited about receiving the Cricut. We are preparing for our first school event for Black History Month where we are creating the letters and decorations for the background for the school stage.

    The students were excited to see how the cricut worked and what things they can produce using the cricut. We made the beginning letters for each of the students in the c

    We will be creating our costumes using the cricut for a future schools show. The cricut has saved us a lot of time being that we don't have to cut the letters out individually. Having this machine makes cutting decor so much faster. The cricut will also save us money because we now can use the materials we already have to cut out our own things. We are so thankful for your donations that helped us to get this wonderful machine.”

  • Supplies to Succeed!

    Funded Nov 4, 2019

    I am honored to submit this thank letter. Receiving these supplies will make all the difference in the world to my class.

    Your kindness to donate to my class is much appreciated. My students were excited to open the boxes and see all the new things we received. They were really excited about the laminating sheets. They know having more laminating sheets means that I can create more centers for them to learn.

    The impact you have made donating to my students learning is just a blessing to me and to them.

  • Grouped Together, We Can Learn Better!

    Funded Aug 29, 2019

    It is with great pleasure that I submit this impact letter sharing the joys of us having this kidney table. Your kindness and willingness to donate to my classroom is just appreciated beyond words. When we received the kidney table my students were so excited.

    The table was assembled the same day we received it. I am now able to meet with my groups and do small group instruction. My students are able to receive individualized time with me. Small group instruction is a the heart of effective classroom and your generosity has now made this practice in our classroom possible.

    This table has made grouping fun. My students love rotating around the room and not being stationery in their seats all day. This table is never empty!

    Again, thank you for your donation. My students faces just light up every time they get a chance to be at the table. They love the fact that they can have access to fun and learning with their classmates.”

My students are very eager to learn and I want to give them what they need to help them be successful in school. Many of my student don't have someone to read to them at home and the listening center will give them the opportunity to hear stories read to them in addition to my reading to them in class.
