Bless you! Gesundheit! ¡Salud!These phrases have been said less frequently these days in our classroom. We've still got the occasional sniffle and sneeze but we've had fewer absences since we've changed out our air filter on our classroom purifier. I don't think that it's coincidence! Thank you for helping to improve our attendance and keep our students in school. It makes such a huge difference in student achievement to be healthy and at school for our lessons and field trips. We appreciate everything that you've done to help us learn at our best!”
Thank you so much for your generosity! My students have been hard at work completing assignments. They will be so happy to hear that our project was fully funded. How exciting it will be for them to see their work on our bulletin boards, ceiling, and walls using these resources. The possibilities are endless for how they can display their work.”

It took a little bit of adjustment to get used to seeing my students gently bobbing from side to side using the wobble feet or to see them gently bounce their feet on the kickbands but that adjustment has been a game changer for student attentiveness and time on task. All of the students benefit from the kickbands while the wobble feet are used on a rotating basis by students. The magnetic shelves are so helpful to keep our read aloud books and class timer on display for all of the students. These are first-rate resources!”

What a wonderful way to usher in some spring cleaning with a vacuum for our class! Thank you so much for your generosity in making this happen. The students are going to be so excited to help keep our room clean. They'll also reap the rewards with nice and dust-free classroom rugs!”

The aroma of warm butter and pancakes cooking on the griddles greeted my excited students. We were about to sample the sour cream pancake batter that we had whipped up together. Students each contributed different ingredients and toppings to enhance our breakfast meal. Another shared meal took place near New Year's Day when the students and I studied a unit on New Year's celebrations around the world. I shared my own culture's traditional meal, cooking rice cake soup and egg toppings with them. What an impossibility if not for your generosity in making this project come to life! Thank you for helping me to make these special memories with my students!”

Tinkerers. Children are naturals at tinkering. And they will tinker with any and everything to be sure! The engineering kits that are delivered to our classroom every month ensure that our students are not only able to tinker but that they are able to tinker meaningfully. The kits teach the scientific and engineering concepts, naturally, and also give a brief history and social significance of each item. They are a great way to meet the varied needs of my class by providing practice for students who are already interested in engineering and also pique the interest of students who may not already be inclined to build things. Together, students are able to complete the builds with pride.”

I can already imagine the wiggling and wobbling that will help our students focus during whole group lessons and independent work time! Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom. My students and I appreciate you--because of you we are able to use these resources not only this year but many years to come!”
Books have the power to create shared experiences for an entire classroom of students. We have the ability to delve into the story by walking alongside the characters, experiencing the plot events with them, and exploring the setting. We can laugh and cry with the characters as we imagine ourselves right there in the story with them. With our own copies of the book, we reread the text and discuss the author's intent, make predictions, and draw conclusions based on our background knowledge.
Thank you so much for making this possible for us through your generous donation!”
Wow! I can’t think of a better way to welcome back my students to a new year and a new semester than to share the great news about our fully funded project! They’re going to love exploring these new books and discussing the characters and plot with each other. Thank you for your generosity! You’re providing these children with an incalculable opportunity and instilling a lifelong love of reading in them!”
