  Funded Dec 23, 2007

• Just-Right Books for Special Needs Readers

  Funded Dec 21, 2007

  Thank you so much for your generous donation! My students will be thrilled to read the books you have donated to our class. While it is obvious that they enjoy our read-aloud every morning, some struggle during independent reading, and I am sure that the variety of beginner-level books that will soon be arriving will motivate them to read on their own. Thank you for helping my students become stronger and more enthusiastic readers. It is a priceless gift”

• Help Our Class Get a Clue with Mystery Books!

  Funded Nov 16, 2007

  Thank you so much for your generous donation! My students will be so excited to find out that we have our own classroom mystery library on its way. I am so excited that I will be able to plan and carry out a thorough exploration of the mystery genre. I loved reading mysteries when I was young and hope to pass on that enthusiasm to my students. Without your help, it would not happen. Thank you again. We look forward to reading the books over and over again”

• Encourage Reading with a Couple of Comfortable Seats

  Funded Aug 11, 2007

  Thank you so much for your generous donation! I have had the fortunate opportunity to watch my students become voracious readers over the last two years, and the bean bag chairs you have donated will only encourage them to spend more time reading. Those that will be in my class in the fall will surely be excited to find new places to plop down with their books during our reader's workshop. Thank you for helping me create a comfortable classroom environment”

• Make Learning Materials Last for Special Needs Students

  Funded Mar 8, 2007

  You have no idea how excited I am to log onto my email on Friday evening to receive the news that my proposal for a laminating machine has been funded! After a challenging (but rewarding) week at school it is apparent how vital generous donors are to the running of a successful classroom. Your gift will be well-used and appreciated, and I’m sure that my students will benefit academically and socially from its use. Thank you very much!

• Hands-On Learning with a Computer Touchscreen

  Funded Jan 5, 2007

  You can't believe how thrilled I am to learn that you have funded my proposal for a computer touch-screen! I recently went to a teacher workshop during which I had the opportunity to map my ideal classroom's set-up and contents, and all the teachers I was with said I was dreaming when I mapped out a computer station with a touch-screen. Thank you for making that a reality! I can't wait to see the student response when the monitor arrives, and watch their progress as they learn to utilize it”

  Thank you so much for your generous donation! I can't wait to see my students light up when they realize that we finally have our own recreation equipment. It is going to be such a great tool for them to learn social skills and motor skills, and they are going to have so much fun”

• Sturdy Books for Enthusiastic Special Needs Readers

  Funded Dec 4, 2006

  As I have built up a libary for my students over the last year, it has been my pleasure to watch them grow more and more enthusiastic about books. Thank you so much for your contribution to our library. These board books will help make reading more accessible to my students with motor skills problems. I can't wait to see their faces when the new books arrive”
