Snug as a Bug on a Classroom Rug
Funded Jun 30, 2024I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for the Solar System rug you so kindly provided for our classroom. While we were originally hoping to receive a bug-themed rug, this vibrant Solar System design has turned out to be a delightful surprise! The students have quickly embraced it, and it's been a wonderful addition to our learning space.
The rug has become a central part of our classroom for both individual activities and whole-group lessons. The children love gathering around the planets, and it's made discussions about space and science even more engaging. It's incredible how something unexpected can turn out to be such a perfect fit!
We truly appreciate your generosity, and we are excited to continue using this beautiful rug in our classroom for years to come.”

Learning With a Laptop!
Funded Apr 4, 2022How is everybody??
Thank you SO MUCH for donating this awesome laptop to my classroom!
It has been wonderful being able to work on it at school AND at home whenever I need to. It has made completing paperwork, lesson planning, and other menial tasks efficient and smooth when my work computer has not always been the easiest to utilize.
There have been times when a couple of my students' laptops could not connect to the network during class; however, this trusty laptop stepped in and our lesson did not lose momentum, which can derail a whole school day.
Again, I appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness,
Have a wonderful rest of the week!
Happy (early) Halloween :-)”

Little Listening Learners
Funded Sep 11, 2019To all of you--I thank you sincerely for making this project's funding a success!
Headphones are so temperamental at times and when they short out, it throws my class off during a lesson. I am truly thankful for now having working headphones to use in my classroom with my students.
We use them for standardized testing, during small groups, and etc. Such a lifesaver for a teacher!
Hopefully, with the sets you provided for my students, I will not have to worry about needing headphones again for a few years.
Thank you so much for your help!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Verizon and 8 other donors.Wobble Chairs for Our Busy Bodies!
Funded Oct 15, 2018Thank you so much for the flexible seating stools. My students have thoroughly enjoyed them during whole group instruction as well as during small group instruction. The students are able to wiggle and move during their work time which actually has increased their concentration and quality of work. We will continue to use these flexible seating options during whole group and small group instruction to ensure that all of my students are engaged in learning and are able to move freely to keep their young minds active!”
