Funded Feb 7, 2022Thank you so much for your generous donation to our 1st grade class. I am so blessed to have an army of supporters who are willing to help make my class run smoothly. It's so nice to have the things I need for my classroom. It makes my job 100 times easier, when I have all the tools I need to help the classroom run smoothly.
I was so thankful to receive new literacy center activities. It's so nice to be able to switch out activities and games frequently so students have new challenges. The Snap Build Phonics activity has been one of our favorites we received from this Donor's Choose Project. What's the Rhyme Houses are a hit in class as well. All the activities and games have added some fun to our literacy center time and we are so thankful!
I appreciate your contribution to my classroom. Thank you for your love and support!!”

Funded May 23, 2022Thank you so much for your generous donation to our 1st grade class. I am so blessed to have an army of supporters who are willing to help make my class run smoothly. It's so nice to have the things I need for my classroom. It makes my job 100 times easier, when I have all the tools I need to help the classroom run smoothly.
Originally this project was intended by a place to store Chromebooks, but unfortunately the product I selected was no longer available once it was time to ship to Wayside, so I selected another similar product and I encountered the same problem. In the months that I was waiting on these items to be available, I found a different storage solution for the Chromebooks that is so perfect, which meant I was able to use your donations for other needs in my classroom. I was able to pick out some fun things for the classroom including flex seats (super fun chairs for the kids to sit on when they visit the reading center), file folders, guided reading books so students have books at their level to read each day, privacy partitions, which allows students to have an "office" when they want to work quietly without distractions (we also use these when taking tests), and SO MUCH MORE!
I appreciate your contribution to my classroom. Thank you for your love and support!! We're having a great year and my students are learning so much and it's thanks to some of my favorite people, like you who make sure we have what we need!”

Literacy Centers in First Grade

It's so nice to have the things I need for my classroom. It makes my job 100 times easier, when I have all the tools I need to help the classroom run smoothly.
I was so thankful to receive so many great resources for my literacy centers. I love having a variety of activities for each center, so that I can switch things out often to give the students a new challenge. My students have been so excited every time we opened up a new literacy center game. One of our favorites so far this year has been the phonological awareness learning puzzles.
I appreciate your contribution to my classroom. Thank you for your love and support!!”

I was so thankful to receive a label maker (I LOVE labeling things!!) and some tape to go along with it. You'll see in the pictures a few things I've labeled in the classroom. The personal laminator has been a very helpful addition as well, especially since our laminator in the teacher's work room hasn't been working all year!!
I appreciate your contribution to my classroom. Thank you for your love and support!!”

Listening Center Books and CDs
Funded Oct 8, 2013What an amazing gift your donation has been to my classroom. I received a listening center through Donor's Choose this year and was so excited about the opportunities my students would have to listen to new books throughout the year, then I realized I had a very small selection of books on CD. I decided to write a grant upon hearing that U.S. Cellular often funds Donor's Choose projects during the school year. A few weeks later I was so excited to see that my project had been fully funded by U.S. Cellular! Not only that, but you funded several of my colleagues projects as well! What a great way to give back to the community. We have more than enough books to explore a new one each week throughout the school year. I can't tell you how excited my students are to see which book I set out for the listening center each week. I am so appreciative of your generosity and my students are making leaps and bounds in their reading this year! Thank you so much!”

Help us Fall in Love with Reading!
Funded Jul 17, 2013We are so grateful for our new listening center and books on cd. Upon receiving the cd player, headphones, books and Cd's I immediately got busy finding the perfect spot for our new materials. The students were so excited to see the new technology in the classroom. I taught several lessons on how to properly use our new materials and take care of our gifts so they would last many years. My student are pros at turning on and off the cd player, adjusting the volume, and adjusting tracks! We are having a blast learning to be fluent readers.
My student have made tremendous gains in their reading this year. Many students came in as non-readers and are now enjoying a variety of books and genres! Our listening center is a significant reason my students love to read and are becoming more confident readers! Thank you for your generous donation. You've made a huge impact on my first graders!”
