• Necessary Tools For Remote Learning

  Funded Nov 2, 2020

  Thank you so much for your generous donations and support. Words cannot express how truly grateful I am for your help with funding my project. My students have had to deal with so many challenges due to the pandemic and remote learning. They have spent the entire year learning remotely from home. This made keeping them engaged and fully participating difficult. This project allowed each of my students to have their own set of headphones, handwriting paper, dry erase markers and dry erasers so that they could engage in all aspects of our remote learning lessons. The headphones have made a huge difference so that my students could focus on what was being taught in class virtually without the distractions of things going on at home. Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn with these materials.”

• Word Builders!

  Funded Sep 2, 2020

  Thank you so much for your generous donations and support. Words cannot express how truly grateful I am for your help with funding my project. My students have had to deal with so many challenges due to the pandemic and remote learning. They have spent the entire year learning remotely from home. This made keeping them engaged and fully participating difficult. This project allowed each of my students to have their own set of word building tiles so that they could engage in hands on lessons while they learned spelling patterns, how to decode and build words. We have used them during small group focused lessons as well as in our whole group practice. They have made a huge difference and my students love using the letter tiles. Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn with these letter tiles.”

• Let's Learn!

  Funded Mar 6, 2020

  Words cannot express how truly grateful I am for your generosity and support. My students received these materials right before school was shut down due to Covid-19. They enjoyed using the new materials during center time. The whisper phones were such a big hit and students were able to use them to read aloud softly in the reading center. They enjoyed working on fluency with the fluency cards and the writing tables helped them enjoy a different tool for writing. Thank you for caring enough about my students to donate towards these amazing tools. You are helping to reinforce learning and I am forever grateful.”
