Clean and Quiet Classroom
Funded Aug 18, 2022Your support of this project has been so impactful in our classroom. The chair covers have prevented the horrid sounds of chairs scratching on floors as students sit in their seats. The floors aren't scratched as much anymore which makes our floors look way cleaners. The disinfecting wipes that are used after every class is keeping the students safe and healthy. I am glad to say that attendance rate for our classroom has been at an all time high as your donations are keeping students healthy by eliminating germs before it is passed on to the next period.
Thank you so much for supporting this project and keeping our students safe and healthy.”

Funded May 9, 2022This Apple TV has been life changing in my classroom. We no longer use instructional time to wait for students to come up to present their work to the class. Instead, I use AirPlay on my iPad to display a live feed on student work. This is super helpful because I am able to walk around to monitor and point out exemplars and student are able to explain live while I show the whole class their work.
Prior to this project, students would drag their feet because they didn't want to go up to the board to show their work. However, I've also noticed an increase of student participation because they all want to have their work displayed on their board since they no longer have to get out of their seat to show their work.”

Funded Apr 30, 2022Thank you for providing my students snacks during our state testing! Students came into class hungry and tired. But with your support, students were looking forward to coming to class, getting their snacks, and taking their tests.
While walking around during the test, I saw students showing their work on their think paper (scratch paper) and throughly solving their math problems. It was amazing to see the dedication and effort that they were putting in the state test after everything they have been through this year!
Again, thank you so much for supporting our classroom!”

Sensory Overload
Funded Feb 7, 2022Thank you so much for all these wonderful resources! We are currently testing for state testing and the calm corner has definitely helped students be able to relax and focus better.
They especially love the posters that teach them how to calm down and what to do in case of an anxiety attack. The fidgets are helpful during the state test and it definitely helps them focus and calm down.
My kids were super excited when I revealed the calm corner because it was everything they wanted since the beginning of the year! They currently are using the fidget toys and love trading their friends for different fidgets every day.”

Funded Feb 4, 2022This project has been an amazing addition to my classrooms. Students love claiming their seats at the low tables and I've noticed that many students who cannot sit still at normal tables have gravitated towards sitting at the low tables.
I've also paired up the low tables with bouncy yoga balls and I've noticed an increase in focus and concentration for these students. Students are able to sit closer to the board and see what is being projected because they are lower to the ground and not blocking anyone.
I am so thankful that this project was funded and I see so much difference in my student's learning and achievements.”

Funded Nov 10, 2021When we upgraded my black and white to a color printer, my students were so excited to be receiving evidence cards in COLOR! It made science so much easier to understand. Prior to getting a color printer, I had to display the colored evidence cards on the projector and students had to huddle around the screen to analyze evidence and give their reasoning. It felt like a disservice to students. However, now that we have a color printer, each student is getting the evidence in color and they can comfortably analyze it from their seats. I have seen so much growth in their analyzations of evidence and support of their claim.
My technology class students have been working on pixel art and they are delighted to see their work displayed on our board in color! This printer is an amazing addition to our classroom and I cannot thank you enough for your support!”

Funded Nov 10, 2021To reveal the resources, I put the treasure box in the middle of the room on a stool. When students came into class in the morning their eyes immediately went to the treasure box and they started asking so many questions. I let them know that there are generous adults that care about them and their success outside of the school and donated these fidget tools for them to use during math and science class.
Since we have come back from winter break, they are now completing their middle of the year assessment and they have been diligently working on those while using their fidget tools.
Thank you so much for your generosity and my kids and I are eternally grateful for someone out there in the world that believes in them and supports them.”

Funded Jan 15, 2022Thank you so much for your support in my classroom. My students are so excited to have alternate seating in our classroom. Most of the students wanted to be at the standing desks when they were unveiled to the class. They used their science inquiry to ask questions about what they thought the desks were and made predictions. It was amazing to see them use that without any prompting.
Of course, all students will have a chance to be at the desk as we will be rotating seats every week to ensure equal chance sit there. I can't wait to see the growth of students and increased engagement with these standing desks.
Again, we are blessed to have supporters like you and are so thankful for your donations.”

Funded Dec 30, 2021Thank you so much for your donations of Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, and Kleenex. We have been going through Clorox wipes like nothing because we sanitize between cohorts of students. Your donations came in JUST at the perfect time. My students are able to come into class knowing that their tables have been sanitized and do not have to worry about germs. My students get a squirt of hand sanitizer before they come into my class so they can come into class feeling fresh. We were also running out and it came at the perfect time. My students were so excited to get hand sanitizer because we've been using one that did not smell as great and they were happy that the new sanitizer are fragrance free.
Again, thank you so much for donating to my project to keep my classroom clean and keep the learning going!”

Mask Up!
Funded Dec 10, 2021Thank you so much for keeping our classroom safe with masks! The students are so delighted to have these black masks instead of the normal blue ones everyone is getting. Having these black masks also makes it easier for me to identify my students in a sea of students during lunch so that I can build relationships with them. My students no longer have to reuse masks when they get dirty during PE or lunch and can come to school and class knowing we have masks for them.
I am so grateful for your support during the pandemic and caring about the safety of my students.”
