Sensory Break for All

Help me give my students a place to relax, reduce stress and regulate their behavior. The rocker sling, tent and more will give my scholars some hands-on ways to calmly express themselves when they need a break.

  • News We Can Share

    Funded Aug 7, 2019

    I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your very generous donation to my classroom. My students and I love reading the weekly newspapers that your donation provided. Each Friday, the children look forward to reading about the new theme and beam with pride as they do so. I never have to remind the students to take their newspapers home because they can not wait to share them with their families. One boy in my room happily told the class, "I can read the newspaper just like my dad!"

    One student asked where the newspapers came from. I explained that someone who loves reading bought them for our class. She replied, "Well tell that lady that I love her!" Thank you for providing my class with this exciting opportunity to have News We Can Share.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Arnold

  • Meeting Time

    Funded Aug 4, 2014

    Thank you for your very generous donation to my classroom! My students and I use the easel all throughout our class day. Having an easel that the children can reach and work on together has given them ownership over their reading and writing activities.

    We begin our mornings by gathering around the easel to read a message that I write to my "Super Readers". The boys and girls love getting a daily update and are now able to help me write the morning message. While students are working in their Journals, small groups use the easel for guided and shared reading and writing. All of the materials are organized in drawers at the bottom of the easel. This allows all of my kindergarteners to chooses their leveled materials and work on their daily story or word work activities. We also use the easel during math time for whole or small group instruction. The students love the ability to show their work prominently to their classmates!

    Thank you once again for allowing my students the tools to experience a love of learning!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Arnold

  • Let's Get Reading!

    Funded Sep 17, 2013

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for our classroom subscription to Time for Kids, the fabulous nonfiction books, and hands on word making games. My students and I use all of the materials on a daily basis to further our skills and love of reading.

    Time for Kids allows me to teach my children about current events at an age appropriate level. Each Friday I pass out their newest magazine to a class of delighted faces. Students are excited to read Time in class and then take them home to share with their families. Several of the children carry their Time magazine in their hands as they leave because they can not wait to show their family our newest issue. Parents have voiced how fabulous it is to see their children learning about real world information. This fascination with learning about current events would not have been possible for them without your generous donation.

    Thank you once again for your help and caring. Your investment in my students will reap rewards for years to come!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Arnold

My students are an amazing group of multicultural children, who come from impoverished backgrounds. Our entire school receives free breakfast and lunch which ensures our bodies have the fuel to learn. Students very rarely have their own reading materials at home and love to receive books as a gift.
