• Books and Cases

  Funded Dec 14, 2023

  Thank you for your continued support of our classroom. We are thrilled to receive books that represent us in an effort to diversify our library. It's so important for our students to see themselves represented throughout literature and for the text they read to reflect similar stories to theirs. Making connections with text is the fist step to enjoying reading and I am thrilled that you help me make this possible.”

• Headphones for Hearing

  Funded Nov 27, 2023

  With your help we were able to add additional headphones to our media center. We use these headphones daily for iready and a plethora of other digital learning activities. Having hooks on the walls to house the headphones makes it easy for students to keep their area nice and neat, keep their devices charged and encourages them to be self directed and take charge of their learning.

  As we all have preferences in learning styles, these headphones let my students know that you've invested in their learning and you believe in them while honoring their differences. We will forever be grateful. Thank you for your contribution to our classroom.”

• Social Emotional Reading Wellness

  Funded Sep 8, 2023

  Thanks to your contribution, my students have a warm and cozy literacy classroom. My 6th graders absolutely looooove my classroom and say it's has the most "vibes" and is "the most aesthetic room in the building." Even when some of my supervisors and colleagues enter the room the complement me on our learning environment and how inviting it is.

  In my opinion the first step in being successful in school is to feel comfortable and to actually like the space. When you see people investing in you it makes you want to be great. My students know I care about our space and will continue to invest in them. They also know that I'm not alone because of people like you that has invested in them too.”

• UnShelving Our Love for Reading

  Funded Sep 6, 2023

  This project has helped my vision for out classroom library come true. Bookcases while they seem so minuscule, play a major roll in the overall look and feel of our classroom library. Brand new book shelves make the library bright, cozy and inviting for my students. Some days I'm on the brink of creating a log because almost everyone always wants to sit in the library even if it's on the carpet.

  Without you this project would honestly still be a dream but with the help of donors like you what was once a dream has now become our reality. Thank you for believing in us and more importantly thank you for your donation.”

• Harry Potter & the Students in the Classroom

  Funded May 9, 2023

  Fantasy is always one of my favorite units to teach and with your help you have truly made our experience this year magical. Thanks to you we were able to fully immerse ourselves in Harry Potter by including things like a sorting hat and wand into our daily lessons. Not only did these additions help me facilitate the lessons and provided real world contexts to our fantasy situations but most importantly it made our lessons fun and engaging. Thank your for your contribution as these tools that seem so small has truly made a huge impact in our classroom.”
