  • Classroom Essentials for Our Learning Space

    Funded May 6, 2025

    Despite the fact that these materials may seem small and insignificant, the reality is quite the opposite. This project was named classroom essentials because our learning is dependent on having them! Having each of these materials available to them gives students the chance to express their thinking, get creative, learn from their mistakes, and so much more. I am so grateful, as are each of my students, for your kindness and support of our success. Your donation makes such a positive impact on each child in my classroom, and supports my ability to teach. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

  • Double Win: A Reading Bench and Storage Space!

    Funded May 6, 2025

    Wow, it is hard to put into words how grateful our class is for this project being funded! We have talked about having one of these shelves in our classroom all year after we saw the idea in another room. As soon as the package came in we opened it up and I put it together, and students' faces lit up at the vision coming to life! Thank you for your generosity for our classroom and for making such an impact on our organization, learning, and fun! We are each appreciative from the bottoms of our hearts!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

  • Empowering Read Alouds for Little Minds

    Funded May 9, 2025

    My students were absolutely overjoyed to receive such beautiful books with wonderful stories to tell. We have already looked through them all and it makes my teacher heart so full to see students eager to read each one of them! These books are not only enjoyable to read, but they also convey such meaningful messages and support young students in grasping more difficult topics within the umbrellas of social emotional education, equity, diversity, and more. I feel so fortunate to have been given these materials to support my students' learning, growth, and to watch them flourish as their own people. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

  • Demonstrate Learning Through the Power of a Pencil!

    Funded Jan 15, 2025

    Thank you so much for your support of our classroom! The kids were so excited to unbox the new pencils, erasers, and especially the sharpener! This gives students agency over their own materials and fosters independence. Pencils are an essential part to every subject of learning that we do and give power to students to demonstrate their thinking. Students have really enjoyed having access to an electric pencil sharpener so that they can sharpen their pencil and then jump back into learning! Your support of our classroom makes such an immense impact and is appreciated by each one of us! :) Thank you!!!”

  • Materials for Learning Visuals

    Funded Dec 18, 2024

    Having the resources to create learning visuals is something that makes all of the difference for so many students. Students being able to access and engage with grade level concepts is in large part thanks to visuals created for my specific group. Not only are students able to take a leadership role in how these visuals are created and what they contain, but they are also able to practice using their resources as they use these anchor charts as tools for their success when they are hung up on the wall. Having different colors gives my students agency over what the charts look like and support the organization of our classroom resources. We are so appreciative of your support and kindness, thank you so much from all of us!”

  • Positive Behavior Rewards

    Funded Nov 1, 2024

    Thank you, from myself and all of my students, for your support of our classroom! These incentives make a large impact on learning and following expectations. While some students love stickers, others love fidgets or small toys. This project allows me to offer prizes that align with specific student interests. This motivates students to learn and follow expectations, and directly rewards desired behaviors. Your kindness supports the creation of a functioning classroom community ready for learning, and makes a huge difference! Thank you, from all of us in Ms.Libby's class! :)”

  • Accessing Advanced Social Emotional Topics

    Funded Oct 31, 2024

    Through the power of books, I can support students with accessing more difficult topics to understand. These "A Kids Book About ___" books are incredibly beneficial for students to read, because they break things down to an understandable level for second grade students. I am thrilled to have these books to support my students' understandings of these topics and foster social emotional intelligence in the classroom. Through the power of books, I can support students with accessing more difficult topics to understand. Thank you SO much for your support and kindness! :)”

  • Flexible Seating for Student Agency and Success

    Funded Sep 27, 2024

    Wow, these flexible seat choices have already made such an immense impact on my students. They were SO excited to receive the packages from Donors Choose and use the new seating choices. The bean bag has provided a comfortable spot where students can enjoy diving into a book. The scoop chairs make it easy for students to stay focused during learning time on the carpet. They allow students to move and sit back without distracting themselves or others. I truly have seen a difference in our carpet learning time, because all students have what they need to focus and learn. THANK YOU so much for your support, we appreciate it more than we can ever say, you have helped to make our classroom a better place! :)”

  • Materials For Learning Visuals

    Funded Aug 15, 2024

    As I was unboxing these materials, I was overcome with gratitude. Starting off the year with fresh materials for my students to use is a sure way to support their learning and creative expression. The beginning of the year comes with a lot of posters and anchor charts, and these materials have given me the freedom to create all of these with the comfort that I will not have to pick and choose which ones to make. This has already made such an impact on our school year as students feel grateful for the materials they get to use, and have used them to create, express, and learn. THANK YOU, from all of us in Ms.Libby's class!”

  • Small Stories for Navigating Big Feelings

    Funded Aug 14, 2024

    As I was unboxing these books with my students, our classroom was electric with excitement and gratitude! Students were SO excited to hear these books, and therefore to have discussions and learn from them. Having story books that engage students allows them to learn difficult social emotional topics in an impactful way. The discussions that stemmed from reading these books was truly remarkable; 7 and 8 year olds were able to identify their emotions, show empathy and compassion, and so much more. Your kindness and generosity for our classroom has resulted in emotionally intelligent students who are excited to learn more! Thank you, from all of us! Your kindness makes such a difference. :)”
