Art Makes for a Healthy Mind
Funded Jun 19, 2023Thank you so much for funding our Art Makes for a Healthy Mind Project. Our students will experience this amazing opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills as well as create art by exploring a variety of mediums.
They will be excited about embarking on this new journey of creativity and develop an appreciation for the arts. Your contribution to this project will make it possible to leave a lasting impression on our students' minds and hearts.
Thank you so much for supporting our project!”

Show Me Your Thinking!
Funded Aug 6, 2020Thank you for your donations. My students have used the mini-whiteboards and dry erase markers you donated on a daily basis for reading foundational skills and math concept building. I taught a decoding lesson with a small group of students. We learned the various syllable patterns in previous lessons. As I read the word "community" out loud, I asked students to write and show me the first syllable of the word. Thereafter, I asked students to write each syllable of the word as we stretched it out. They showed their spelling on the computer. Some wrote correctly, others didn't. The important thing was that I was able to see their thinking and I clarified any misconceptions they had if they spelled the syllable incorrectly.
My students were excited when they each received their own mini-whiteboard and dry erase markers. They were spelling words, writing sentences, computing math problems, etc. They love it.
I will continue to use the mini-whiteboards and markers with my students next school year and continue to provide additional support to those who will need it.”
