  • Time to Write!

    Funded Oct 25, 2021

    This project has helped students better understand the connection between reading and writing. Students have been excited about their daily Writer's Workshop time and all the learning opportunities that go along with writing.

    My amazing first graders have used the Writer's Workshop curriculum to help them develop their creative process! The TPT funds were used to purchase a Writer's Workshop curriculum that made a difference in my students' learning and writing by providing them with a guidance that motivated them to tell their stories.

    Each student was excited to receive their own document bags, their personal space to organize all of their ideas and drafts through the writing process.

    The dry erase pockets were used by each student to proudly display their writing once ready to publish.

    All the materials helped students explore different writing opportunities. Thank you for helping me provide this amazing curriculum from TPT and other writing materials to all of my students. You are amazing!”

    Thank you so much! Our students were so excited to start their Kindergarten school year with such amazing art materials. They used their sketchbooks and watercolors to explore their creativity. Thanks to your generous donations our virtual art lessons were a success. All of our students had so much fun.

    Thanks to your donations we were able to intergrade art with all other academic subjects such as science and social studies. Your donations gave all of our students so much joy during such difficult times.

    Thank you for your generous contribution to our Donors Choose project Making Math Fun. Our Classroom received so many different math manipulatives such as ten-frames, magnetic whiteboards and group activities designed to differentiate instruction for each students' specific needs.

    We are having an amazing time practicing math skills with our new materials. We are very thankful for your donation and look forward to math time each day. Thanks to your donations we now have enough materials for all students to practice a specific skill at the same. Yay! No more waiting time or cutting pieces of paper in place of counters.

    Your donation has helped spark and enhance my students' learning in math creating enjoyable and memorable experiences during our math time. Thanks to your donations I will be able to continue to provide such experiences to many students for years to come.”

  • We Need Headphones!

    Funded Aug 21, 2019

    Thank you so much for these amazing headphones! Thanks to you students are able to comfortably listen to stories, take assessments, and independently complete math activities. Since you've donated these materials my students have been able to better focus and continue to develop as readers and problem solvers.

    Today, students are able to use their iPads more frequently providing them with more time for differentiated instruction. The headphones have help students read at their own pace as they follow along to read aloud stories and and answer differentiated comprehension questions that meet their needs.

    Thank you so much!”
