We love our new tables! We love them so much. The kids were so excited to see two more tables added to our classroom. They have already begun to do great things there. They are able to sit with the intervention teachers and be comfortable, and LEARN! It's a wonderful time to be in our classroom. I can't thank the donors who continue to donate to my students and classroom. The support is felt and we are so appreciative of all the people that want to see my students thrive!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

My students love their new books! They are eager and excited to read them! We have been doing quiet reading time each day and they are happy to have new books. They can no identify so much in stories. They know letters, beginning sounds, and OH SO MANY sight words! How exciting is that!? I am so proud of them. And its because of the donors that continue to give to our projects that we are able to have so many successful moments in our day.
Thank you for always supporting my students, me and my classroom. :)”

OH MY GOSH! I can't begin to explain how excited and happy we are to have this new easel! It's been a game changer for our kindergarten class. It's the perfect size for the students to practice writing all kinds of things, from letters, to sight words, to sentences. Our morning message time is the best time of the day! Seriously! We haven't even begun to use all the features yet, like the storage underneath and the other side with the lines to help write. I can't wait to continue to use this easel for all the wonderful benefits it has to offer! Plus, its so cute. It just makes me happy :)”

Thank you for donating to our classroom's project! We have been desperate for a new bookcases for years and I can't believe that I finally can organize my books on them, and have the students sit around them and read their stories. Our broken metal bookcases have been passed on and we are excited for the new bookcases. Having donors like you trust us and provide for us, having our students needs met, in such a small way, means so much, more than I could ever say!
Thank you for continuing to support us!”

Thank you for donating to this project. It was a small one, but an important on. Our needs change daily, sometimes hourly. And I need to be prepared to print something for my students to meet those educational needs. I love that I now have the option to print what I need at will. This small project will benefit the students so much!
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. We are so fortunate that we have people that we don't even know, helping us, and wanted us to achieve our goals each day!”

Thank you for funding this project! It was small, but VERY much needed! I was able to get this binders and put together our math curriculum and give the students new literacy centers that are neat, organized and easy for the kids to use. I was very excited to be able to give my students this small need and see so much improvement in our daily routines. Who knew binders could make such a difference in our kindergarten classroom, but they really did! And we are forever grateful for the generous donors that are constantly helping us with our everyday needs!”

Having something as simple as pencils and a way to sharpen them can sometimes be taken for granted. IN kindergarten we need to worry about this everyday. Half the battle is being prepared. But, now we have a brand new heavy duty pencil sharpener and lots of pencils to get us through the school year. And we are prepared each morning with sharpened pencils for the kids, and we are ready to start working as soon as the kids come in. And a bonus is that the kids can even help sharpen the pencils. They are excited to help! It may seem small to some, but this project has made all the difference in our classroom.
Thank you so much!”

How exciting is this!? Look at these smiling children, excited to get to the library and read their new books! It's every teacher's dream. My students can't wait to get to the library each day and read their new beautiful books. They try to go to the library at all times of the day, which is really cool. It is their "calm down area" without me even telling them that. They go there, pick up a new book, and relax! A bonus is that they are actually started to read the stories. It warms my heart to be able to provide this for them. Thank you for making that possible! :)”

My students come from an inner city neighborhood. They don't have much at home and lately I haven't been able to provide much for them in school because a of lack of supplies and materials. The are an ambitious group of students who are eager to learn, but without some of the right materials it is difficult for me to conduct even the simplest of lessons.
