• A Book in Hand, a Mind in Motion

  Funded Sep 17, 2020

  While some of my students chose to attend in person, they've only been able to do so for a handful of days. I am so incredibly thankful for your support in my goal of getting books in these kids' hands. By doing so, they are reducing their screen time and getting the tangible experience as well.

  Another bonus is that I am letting the students keep their books. Libraries were closed for a long time, and access to good literature has been limited. Even students who didn't have a chance to finish the book will now have access to it in the future.

  Thank you again, and know that your donations were definitely put to good use!”

  With gratitude,

  I am BLOWN AWAY by your generosity and am so excited to have this resource in time for our return to online schooling! The students will be able to read this magazine in a digital version and then in a paper version when we return to brick and mortar. Thank you so much!!!”

  I was thrilled to receive the email that my project has been funded! Thank you so much for your generosity and for supporting literacy in my STEAM classroom. My students will benefit greatly from these materials. Any time we can tie a love for reading is a win in all content areas.”

• STEAMing It Up!

  Funded Jun 26, 2018

  One of my big initiatives this year has been to incorporate more Literacy into our STEAM projects. Through your generosity, I have been able to do this so far with a number of books including "Perfect Square", "Epic Engineering Disasters", and "What to do with a Box". Although there is no R for Reading in STEAM, I feel like infusing literacy at any point possible is essential, especially at the elementary level.

  Some of the other materials you helped provide my students have been first shown in our Friday electives. These students were so excited to get a sneak peek before their peers and see items that are similar to what they may know but with a twist, such as the Magnaflex, flexible magnets.

  Our K-2 students are getting more STEAM than ever this year, so I am still trying to boost their exposure to this content. I am also still researching more picture books that I can tie into our lessons. Finally, I am visiting classrooms and helping teachers infuse STEAM into the content in their rooms.”
