  • Flexible Seating for Firsties!

    Funded Aug 14, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. My students and even their parents were so excited to see all the different seating options available in the classroom.

    Each table in my classroom has a different type of seat. Between sitting on the floor, short stools, tall stools, moving stools, and now laying on a cozy carpet, my students are able to learn in a way that is comfortable to them. Over the years I have seen major improvement in my students ability to focus and stay on task!

    Thank you for partnering with me to make sure my students have the best learning experience possible!”

  • Writing and Learning Everyday!!!

    Funded Dec 11, 2018

    I want to start off by saying thank you again for supporting my students. They deserve the best education they can get and you are now a partner in their education.

    My students were so excited when they heard they were getting new white boards and dry erase markers. They were even more excited when they saw how awesome they were AND 2 sided. We have been using them now for a week and the kids are proud and taking extra good care of them. So far they have used them in math, word work, and writing.

    Thank you again for everything. We hope that you enjoy the pictures :)”

  • A Place to Store our Learning!!!

    Funded Nov 12, 2017

    There is definitely not enough time in a school day to accomplish all of the necessary things that need to be accomplished. Teachers are always looking for ways that will shorten transitions in order to maximize learning opportunities for students. These bags are not only strong and sturdy, but they hold necessary materials that help us maximize our time. In addition we have the amazing sheet protectors that allow us to reuse learning templates over and over again, then quickly put them in our learning bags. Students are obsessed and love that they are personalized with a name tag. Thank you so much for your kind donation! Enjoy the pictures!”

  • Making Learning Engaging with Technology!

    Funded Aug 3, 2017

    iPads are something that most of us use on a regular basis. They improve the way we communicate with others and give us information at the tip of our fingers. Many of the students in my classroom do not have access to these materials outside of the classroom. They have been so enthusiastic about learning ever since the integration of the iPad in the classroom.

    Not only have students improved their academic skills, but also the way they learn and work together. I am extremely grateful for the support of others. I cannot wait for you to see the photographs of students using the materials and thank you letters from the kiddos.”

  • OsMoInG Our Way to Reading and Math Success!

    Funded Mar 30, 2017

    Pencil and paper has become a thing of the past. More and more students learn using technology in the classroom. With the help of our new Osmo devices and tools, I am able to enhance learning experiences through technology. The activities included not only help students learn Texas math, reading, and writing standards, students are also able to enhance their communication skills and team work ability.

    Words can not express how thankful I am for your continued support. May these pictures bless you as much as they bless me!

    Thank you!!!”

  • ABC's and 123's, a Technological Way of Learning!

    Funded Aug 22, 2016

    Dear Donors,

    In this day in age, children use technology in almost every aspect of life. This means that teachers need to become more familiar with technology and understand how to include it in their daily instruction. This technology provided by the Osmo company allows my students to collaborate and build their understanding of phonemic awareness in a fun and engaging way. My students love that they get to learn, while at the same time competing with their classmates. Each activity provided in this resource is engaging for students and reinforces what they are learning in the classroom.

    Thank you again to everyone who helped make this a resource for my students and our classroom.”

  • An Empowering Learning Environment for All (ATPE Member)

    Funded Mar 16, 2016

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. I did not receive all the materials in one delivery so it was exciting to see their faces each time we added a new resource to the room.

    The resources are used throughout the day in different ways. Each table has a chair elastic band and purple cushion. Students take turns sharing them and passing them around to their friends. In addition to these materials, they have the opportunity to sit on large chairs in different learning stations throughout the day.

    I have seen major improvement in their ability to focus and stay on task! These materials allow them to complete work in more comfortable and engaging ways.”

  • A Place To Store Our Love For Learning!

    Funded Nov 4, 2015

    Hello,

    I am extremely grateful for each and every donation we received for this project. At the beginning of the school year I bought some bags to put on the student chairs, but they did not hold up very well. The pockets you have provided for our classroom are absolutely wonderful. Students are able to store their books from the classroom library inside of them as well as their folders they place their writing samples in. The pockets provide quick access to resources as well as a safe place to store our over 2,000 books.

    One thing that is not pictured is the student reactions to their beautiful pockets. They were super excited and were eager to put all of their school supplies inside! I hope you enjoy the pictures, and again... THANK YOU!”

  • An Organized Classroom to EXCITE young learners!

    Funded Jun 2, 2015

    Hello,

    We have been in school for three months now and my students and I absolutely love this cart. Everyday we do literacy stations where students have the opportunity to build on their understanding of spelling words, sight words, and other reading skills. Each day students are responsible for getting out the buckets from behind the pocket chart and take them to the assigned areas. From there they work together to practice these skills.

    The cart you have provided for my students serves many purposes. It is a place for us to store our learning as well as a place where students can interact with words using the provided pocket chart. Thank you so much for this resource and I hope you enjoy the pictures!”

    With gratitude,
