  • Wonderfully Fun Books for First-Graders!

    Funded Dec 8, 2016

    Thank you so much for donating to our "Wonderfully Fun Books for First-Graders!" project, on Donorschoose.org. We are super excited about getting all of these new books! They are fantastic titles, with great illustrations and photographs, and my little students are already devouring them! I will post photos of my students, just loving them very soon! It is so much fun to pull a student over to my special reader stool, and have them read their favorite new book to the class! They get so excited, and just love digging through to find the perfect good fit book, to match their reading ability. The great thing about this project, is that all of the books are good fit! This makes it so much fun for the kids, because every single one of them can find something to read and enjoy. They are crazy about the dolphin books. Corduroy, Clifford and so many others are books that I loved when I was little, and these first-graders love them too. Nate the Great is fun because it is one of their first chapter books. My students just love all of the titles. Thank you so much for making this happen for my students! You truly make a difference in our classrooms and for our students! If only you could see the excitement that these kiddos show when the packages come into our room! I purposely make a big deal of it, and let the packages sit on our back table for an afternoon so that the suspense can build before we open them. Then, when I say, " We just got a package," they all race back to the reading corner to open the package and see what is inside! Believe me, they were thrilled!”

  • Super Fun Smelly Stickers and Storage for Classroom Treats!

    Funded Dec 8, 2016

    Thank you so much for funding our "Super Fun Smelly Stickers and Storage for Classroom Treats! " on Donorschoose.org. We are super excited to have these wonderful totes and smelly stickers for our classroom! The totes came in three huge packages, which where very exciting for my students to open. They had a ball looking inside, and trying to figure out what we could fit into each one. The totes are super durable, and they are the perfect size, so we will definitely get a lot of use of them. They also look nice and clean, and are easy to use, so we can get to our learning materials efficiently. My students were absolutely thrilled with the smelly stickers. I was using up so old stickers that I had, on their assignments and projects, and when I opened these up, they were so excited! It is amazing what a little sticker can do to motivate a child, especially a first-grader! Thank you so much for contributing, and for making our classroom a great place to learn! We appreciate it so much.”

  • Writer's Workshop is a Blast Using the Computer!

    Funded Dec 5, 2016

    Thank you so much for funding our "Writer's Workshop is a Blast Using the Computer!" project on Donorschoose.org. This Microsoft Software will be such a useful tool for my students, because it will allow them to type up all kinds of neat writings and projects on our classroom laptop. My students just love to work on the computer, and with this, they can type in stories, letters, reflections, and even create their own little books! It will be so much fun for them. And, they love to see their writing posted on the wall. This will allow me to print off their projects, so that the whole school can see what they are working on! And, when students read their own writing, they grow in reading ability, because what they write is at their own level. We really appreciate your help and support, and know that you just made writing class a lot more fun for us!”

  • Literacy for All and Roger Williams Park Zoo Professional Development!

    Funded Sep 6, 2016

    Thank you so much for funding my "Literacy for All And Roger Williams Park Zoo Professional Development!" project on Donorschoose.org! I just got back from my professional development experience, and it was amazing!!!! I got to learn from Fountas and Pinnell, Lucy Caulkins, Tim Rasinski, Nell Duke, and others directly! I learned more in those three days than I have in years! I am so excited to get back in my classroom to teach with all of my new strategies, and new knowledge, and I can't wait to share out in my own PD for staff, which is something that I have always been afraid to do, but, with this much important info, I just have to! I had the privilege of actually sitting and discussing literacy with these top leaders and researchers in our nation. I can't get any better training than that, and I got hours and hours of it. I feel so energized, excited, and even more passionate than when I left, which I didn't think was possible! I feel so empowered to do amazing things in the area of literacy in our area, because so many never get this type of opportunity! In my hotel room, I sat and typed ideas for hours. When I left, I sat on my three hour plane ride, and typed notes continuously about what to share with the staff, and still have a LOT more to go through! I have pages and pages and pages of notes that I took at the conference. It was amazing!!!!!! And, it will have a huge impact on my classroom and my entire school, and hopefully my impact will be even bigger than that! Thank you so much Donorschoose and Herb Kohl Foundation for this AMAZING experience. I was even offered a job while I was out there! It was the best professional development experience I have ever had in my life! And, I NEVER would have been able to go without the help of Donorschoose and the Herb Kohl Foundation! Thank you to anyone and everyone connected with Donorschoose and to everyone who donates to make these projects a reality! These professional development opportunities are truly life changing! My teaching is changed forever, and my students will be impacted in huge, very wonderful ways! I feel like I went from being a very good quality teacher, to being an amazing leader in the area of literacy! And, it is all because of my passion and my amazing experience at this conference! I honestly can not thank you enough, and hope you realize that this truly made a HUGE impact on my teaching and leadership ability in so many ways! And, this will impact many, many, many students and teachers in the future! My students are already making humongous gains because of what I learned, and that is just the tip of the iceberg! I have big plans for what I have learned! Thank you!!!”

  • My Students Want to Be Active For Sixty Minutes Daily!

    Funded Sep 30, 2016

    Thank you so much for funding our "My Students Want to Be Active For Sixty Minutes Daily!" project on Donorschoose! My students are so thankful for all of the new fitness activities. You should have seen how excited they were when we hauled the huge package into our classroom. They couldn't wait to open it, and I purposely let them sit and look at it for a while to build up the excitement. When they finally got to open it, they were completely in awe! The wobble stools, the punch balloons, the racing sacks, the balls, the straws and connectors and all of the other goodies, were so exciting for my students. More than anything, they just loved the new soccer equipment, including the goals, the pennies, and the ball We went outside, and within a matter of minutes, we had the entire school lined up to play! I gave up my lunch for the day, because they were all having so much fun, and so was I! it was one of our most fun days ever on that playground! The items in this proposal will provide so much fun and opportunities for fitness! They will last forever, and will definitely get my kids up and moving. Thank you so much for caring so much for our students! You have made a difference for sure.”

  • Creating Photo Books Using Camera and Word Processing Software!

    Funded Sep 19, 2016

    Thank you so much for donating to our "Creating Photo Books Using Camera and Word Processing Software!" project on Donorschoose.org. We are so excited to have the Microsoft Office and camera batteries/charger so that we can complete our classroom projects. These were items that we needed so badly, and we were being held back in our creative activities, because we didn't have them. Now my students can take photos, create books, and publish books to share with each other and with other classes. We are just thrilled! This will affect our learning, because we are using these in both reading and writing class, and we are also tying in science, social studies, and health. Thank you very much for your support.”

  • Fitness and Brain Activities Create a Healthy and Fit Mind!

    Funded Sep 6, 2016

    Thank you so much for funding our "Fitness and Brain Activities Create a Healthy and Fit Mind!" project on Donorschoose.org. Oh my goodness, the mountain of packages we got from you was just huge! You can see it in the photo! The kids were just thrilled about opening each one to see what was inside. And, oh my goodness, the treasures were wonderful! The timers, the iPad Mini, the bubbles, The Virtual Reality set and software, the relaxing music, the bean bags, soccer cones, and the super fun straw builders will all be used like crazy in our classroom and outside. We are already using so many of the items! The first thing we did, was take the soccer cones outside and we played a super fun game of Shake it Up. The kids LOVED it and keep begging to go back out and do it again, which we will, many times over! The Virtual Reality Set and iPad Mini are incredible, because we will be doing so many activities with our STEM science projects using these items and the Mini will also help us to reach our fitness goals. The relaxing music is fantastic for helping our bodies to stay in the healthy "green zone." This project is just amazing, and we thank you so much for your support in funding it for us! We could never have all of these wonderful learning materials without you. We really appreciate it!”

    Thank you so much for funding our "Promoting Healthy Activities During Our School Year and Cold Winters!" project on Donorschoose.org. My goodness, the packages just kept coming and coming, and they were wonderful! Our first photo shows the huge mountain of packages, and the kids were so excited when I took them over to the spot where we were going to open them all up! The DVD's, Wobble Chairs, Canopy Tent, Yoga mats, Yoga rollers, stress balls, stretch band, and everything else in that package is just amazing! We are working hard to set up our Zones of Regulation/Yoga Calm room, and the kids just can't believe that we now have enough items to fill it right up! This is going to be a fantastic way for the kids to get in some relaxing fitness, and calming time, during their hectic school day! We have already begun to use so many of the materials, and they are working out just great! We really appreciate your support, and we appreciate the new and very exciting learning materials!”
