Funded Feb 10, 2014Thank you for your generous donations that have already had a great deal of impact on the learning of my students. My students were thrilled when all of our new books arrived! They could not wait to choose a brand new book to read. I wish I was able to share with you the expression on all of their faces when they saw how many new books were added to our classroom library, all because of your generosity.
Through the project that you helped fund my students are becoming better readers and have been working hard learning new strategies to use when reading nonfiction texts. They have been able to learn about a variety of different topics as well as nonfiction text features such as table of contents, diagrams, graphs, photographs, captions etc. They have been identifying main idea and supporting details and have been writing summaries.
This project also helped my teaching. I have been able to meet and confer with students during reading workshop and focus on nonfiction texts with all of my students. This was previously difficult because I did not have a wide range of levels of nonfiction texts in my classroom library. All of these texts have been used daily by my students and will continue to be used throughout my teaching career. Without your help, many of my students would not have been able to make all of the progress that they did. My students in future years will continue to benefit from your donation. You truly have helped make the world a better place, one student at a time.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Mullally
