Funded Nov 14, 2011subjectI cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for your very generous donation to my classroom.
I have the very great pleasure to work with a group of 17 delightful students every day. In my classroom, I have all types of students, from all walks of life. They add so much to my life every day and I hope to do the same.
Today, you added to their lives a huge way! We used our guided reading books for the very first time!
In the set you donated, there are six copies of 36 different books. These books range in subect matter and reading level. With this set, we are able to read as a group during a activity called Guided Reading. During this time, I am able to see how fluently each student is reading and how well each student is comprehending what they read. Mastery of these skills is crucial to becoming a successful reader!
I truly wish you could have seen their faces when they saw the books. I was so very proud today watching them read, hearing them read, and exploring all of the good things that come with having your hands-on a book!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Childs
