  • A Laptop to Use With the Smart Board

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    On behalf of my students I would like to express sincere gratitude to all the donors for their generous contributions towards the fulfillment of my project.

    We are indeed grateful for the new laptop which has made a tremendous impact on my students' learning experiences every day. Now I can display all the different lessons on the Smartboard as I explain them to the students. This has made it so much easier for the students to follow along and widen their knowledge.

    Once again thank you very much to all the donors who supported this project and for caring about our students.”

  • Reading Is The Way To Grow!

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    On behalf of my students and parents I would like to express sincere gratitude to you for your generous donation towards the fulfillment of my project.

    We were able to start the new school year with a brand new classroom library filled with a lot of interesting books. The children are now able to take books overnight to read and write book reports.

    We also use the books for Renaissance testing on the computer which helps to build up their vocabulary and comprehension skills.

    Once again thank you very much for your generosity and we wish you blessings and prosperity for the new year.”

  • Summer Reading!

    Funded Apr 21, 2023

    On behalf of my students I would like to express sincere gratitude to you for your generous contribution towards the fulfillment of my project. The students were very excited to receive the new books to take home for the summer. They were even more excited at the thought of them becoming better readers as they now had books to read at home.

    This school year was a struggle for most of them as they entered first grade unable to read books on their grade level. However both teacher and students worked very hard and we were able to overcome all the hurdles. At the end of the school year only two students out of 24 were not reading on grade level.

    Thank you for contributing towards the education of these students and your generosity is very much appreciated.”

    Having these books in our classroom will certainly help to improve my students reading skills. Therefore, we are indeed very grateful to you for helping us to get these books.

    My students take them home every night to practice their reading skills. They especially love the Biscuit books and also Pete the Cat books.

    Once again thank you very much and we wish for you blessings and prosperity always.”

    My students and I are indeed grateful for your generous contribution to my project. Without your kind support we would not have reached the goal.

    In our classroom twenty minutes every morning is designated as independent reading time. Thanks to our kind donors the children have a variety of books to choose from every morning.

My students are special education students and at the beginning of the school year were all non-readers. Through the use of various phonetic programs I am happy to say that they are all currently reading, some are not on grade level but have made significant progress with their reading skills. My school is located in a very economically challenged part of New York City. Books are often left off the shopping list. Ninety-eight percent of the children receive free lunches.
