Let's Promote Reading
Funded May 22, 2024Thank you for the supplies you provided our class with. First Chapter Fridays has really flourished as everyone wants to sit in the author's chair (rolling stool) and read from our book of the week. More students are also selecting from the magnetic book shelf, since they have a visual reminder of the books I have presented to them. The file folders have become an essential tool to our classroom as well. Our monthly one-pagers have never looked so good. The folders have also helped us be more organized with our literature and i-Ready packets. Thank you for helping us stay organized”

Funded Mar 27, 2024A big thank you to you for all the snacks you donated to our classroom. My students were thrilled when they saw all the boxes come in and couldn't wait to see what goodies we were receiving. Many students had not had some of the snacks you provided us with, so the treats were extra special.
You made many children happy. Knowing they know where they can go for a quick snack when they are hungry makes my day full. The snacks also motivated them and kept them alert during testing. Thank you so much!”

Thriving in a Clean Classroom
Funded Jan 18, 2024Hooray! Our classroom looks fantastic thanks to you. The i- Robot has made a huge difference in our classroom's appearance. We were so excited when our package arrived. We couldn't wait to open it and see the i-Robot in action.
Our classroom looks better than ever thanks to you. The i-Robot is on overdrive as it cleans our room midday and after school. Students notice right away when our classroom isn't looking great and are excited to point it out. They want to see the i-Robot zooming across the room. Thank you for your support.”

Diving Into Literature through Annotations
Funded Dec 27, 2023It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I write this thank you letter. With the awesome class set of colored pens, you have taken my students to another level. Annotating has come alive! Because of you I was able to supply my students with their very own set of pens.
My students feel like true scholars as we prepare to be college ready. Annotating for wonderment, confusing parts, important information, and unknown words has never been so intriguing. They simply just love jumping into the text now. Thank you so much.”

Funded Dec 6, 2023Thank you so much for the class set of novels you've provided us with. After reading a n excerpt of Book IX of The Odyssey students were engaged and wanted to learn more about Odysseus's travels. With your donation you have opened the door to a love for classical literature.

Funded Dec 18, 2022Your gift, The Giver graphic novels, has made a large impact on my students. My students are much more engaged in our class reading and are having deep discussions about the events of the text. They were excited to dive into the book once they saw them. They even ask to keep reading!
Reading the graphic novel version of this very popular 8th grade novel can be a bit challenging, since we focus on so many skills. With this novel I have seen my students infer based on the reading and the graphics to help them understand the text easier they also have identified and discussed the various signposts the author used to help them become critical readers.
Overall your gift has deepen their understanding of dystopian literature, inferencing using visual text, improved their discussion skills and made the text easier to understand.”

U.S History Through Novels
Funded Aug 29, 2022Wow! Thanks to your generous donation students are engaged in what we are reading. They look forward to learning more about George Takei's experience in the internment camp, Rohwer, he and his family we forced to live during WWII. In our class you can hear them reading with their table group, and discussing important aspects of the reading. They are also rereading and clarifying as they discuss the reading, without being told too. It's very exciting to see them refer back to the text and use the graphics in the novel to help them make inferences of the impact this experience had on each of the members of the Takei family. Thank you one again for your donation.”

Literacy Boost!
Funded Aug 9, 2022You are a life saver! We are enjoying reading about mummies, insects and surfing. As we are reading we are building the skill we need to be successful on the yearly reading tests we have to take. Through our monthly subscription we are able to step out of our academic reading and really sit down and enjoy learning about new topics that have really not crossed our minds. We have been able to practice our focused note taking, summarizing skills and read to simply get the gist of what we are reading. Thank you so much for this opportunity.”
