Creating Motivated Readers
Funded Mar 15, 2018These resources have been a game changer for my students. We now have activities that students don't have to share. Each student can be actively engaged throughout the process. My students are using these resources in order to develop a foundation that is literacy strong.
My students were so shocked when the materials came in. We were able to unpack them together and they were so excited that someone would help us! We really have enjoyed the materials and they will continue to help students for years to come! Thank you again!”

Creating Successful Readers
Funded Sep 15, 2017My students are enjoying these materials every single day. Due to your generous donation, students no longer look at reading as a "chore". We have a before, during and after school tutoring program that students are able to use these resources. I've used these resources to create a LOVE of reading and that is simply priceless! My students are working on phonics, fluency and comprehension to aide in their reading ability.
Through this project, I've been able to make their learning fun and meaningful! Thank you again for your generosity. You are impacting the lives of SO many children!”

Motivating Reluctant Readers K-2
Funded Nov 29, 2017I am so moved by your generous donations. When you donate to a classroom, you are investing in the lives of students. This impact is one so great that words will never show just how amazing it is. My students are absolutely loving these resources.
I work with students who are struggling readers, and through this grant, I've been able to motivate them to WANT to read. We've used these games and activities to make reading FUN. Bringing reading to life has been due to this project!
Thank you again for investing in the lives of children. It's very much appreciated and it means so much to us!”

Launching Guided Reading in 4th Grade!
Funded Nov 18, 2016Thank you so much for your donations. Due to your thoughtful and considerable donations, our students were able to have leveled and engaging texts. Our school was without Guided Reading materials and because of your donations, I was able to give them engaging resources to further their interest in reading. My students have fell in love with nonfiction reading and developed an interest in Science due to the books purchased through this grant! Thank you so much for thinking of our students and their literacy development!”

Creating Math Super Stars
Funded Aug 4, 2016One day, my students noticed a large box from Lakeshore Learning. They weren't quite sure what it was. I asked them if they have ever heard of "Donors Choose". They immediately said NO! I explained to them that some very nice and generous people donated money for them to be able to have a hands on learning experience in math. My students were SO excited! Since then, week after week, they've enjoyed these activities! The activities allowed my students to get a hands on approach to what the standards ask them to do.
The best part is, we will be able to use these resources all year. Students for years to come will be bale to benefit from your generous donation. Thank you so much for all that you do and continue to do in order to help education. Our educators across the country thank you!”

Reading Rocks
Funded Feb 24, 2014Words cannot express how much this project meant to my students and I. My students have thoroughly enjoyed the materials purchased with this project. The books have been a huge success. The stories are updated and relevant to their lives. This project was more to me than just a listening center area and books. It not only provided my students with the essential tools they need enhance their literacy development, but was also very personal for me. As many of you know, my father donated to this project just 12 days before he passed away. The legacy that he instilled in me is now being passed on to my students. I have a friendly reminder of his presence everyday and I will cherish this gift for my students and I for years to come. Thank you again for your generous donations.”
