• We're Not Afraid of Any Tests!

  Funded Nov 14, 2019

  Thank you so much for your donation to my classroom. Because of your generosity, my students will be able to practice the skills needed to perform successfully on our state tests. My students have a lot of test anxiety. But through the use of practice tests, like in the OSTP Practice Booklets, they will be able to feel more comfortable and this will ease their discomfort. This alone, will allow them to focus on the skills they learned throughout the year. Thank you again for your generosity and support. This has really helped my students”

• Supply and Demand

  Funded Oct 23, 2019

  Thank you for donating to my classroom project. My students desperately needed a place where they could house their daily school supplies like glue, scissors, markers, etc. The cubbie was a perfect solution because it allowed them to free up space in their desk, but also allowed them to maintain organization in our classroom. Now their items are easily retrievable. My students can place all their necessities within reach. Thank you on behalf of myself and over 20 excited and appreciative third graders.”

• Centers Ready

  Funded Sep 27, 2019

  Thank you so much for your contribution to my classroom. With the items you helped purchase, my students will be ready and successful at our small group and center time. The Bins that you helped purchase will ensure that learning materials are within reach for activities, cutting down the time that it takes to look for and gather materials. The stools provide flexible seating for my students so that they are not only comfortable, but they are in a safe space to continue learning in centers or small groups. The magnetic organizer helps keep dry erase markers and erasers in place for learning activities. Everything that you helped purchase will contribute to my students success for not only small group and center time, but also for their entire matriculation in school. Thank you on behalf of myself and my class.”

• It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superheroes Reading

  Funded Sep 12, 2019

  Thank you for giving generously to my classroom project! With your generosity, my students now have a reading corner that they absolutely love coming to! The backdrop silently echoes that they are superheroes in their own right. The ottomans provide a comfortable area for them to unwind and enjoy their favorite book! They simply snuggle on the pillow and read! Even students that previously did not display any interest in reading at all, are often caught preoccupied in our corner laughing at a punchline from their favorite book! You may not realize, but your contributions are setting hearts ablaze for reading! Each of my students love our reading nook and are always asking to sit and enjoy this location. Thank you so much for igniting a love of reading within my students.”

• Winning Mats

  Funded Aug 25, 2018

  Thank you so very much for your donation. Because of your selfless generosity, my students can compete in the global robotics competition. We are so thrilled. The competition mat has allowed my students to become more knowledgeable with coordinates, measurements, and problem solving skills, that won't just benefit them in science and math, but will enhance their day to day interactions with others. The students are working hard. This competition mat has been such a staple in my classroom, students complete other activities in their entirety just to get to go on the mat! Thank you again for all your help.”

• Organized Oasis

  Funded Jan 25, 2018

  Thank you so much for your generosity! Because of kind-hearted people like you, my students will be able to receive the most optimal learning opportunities during small group instruction. This will help me stay organized and not wind down minutes in small group. Each group only gets a minimum number of time for small groups, and now time will be maximized. My students were so excited as the boxes were brought to the classroom. I was also very excited. I put everything up once the students left, so I cannot wait to see their faces when they see the finish product on Monday. Thank you so much for creating for us space and the ability to have more effective small group time.”

  Thank you for helping my students reach their optimal achievement through funding support for our classroom round table. Now my students are able to utilize this space for further small group instruction, centers, and computer space. This space is so paramount in their learning and fulfills their need for cooperative grouping. My students and I are so excited for this edition to our classroom. I can't wait to watch the longitudinal effects of it as seen later in their social and academic achievements. Thank you again for helping my little learners prepare for their future successes!”
