Sensational Science
Funded Aug 2, 2010Thank you so much for the gracious donation of the science materials. They have helped to enhance my students understanding so much. It was wonderful to see the students use the information they gathered from the readers and apply it to all areas of electricity. They had so much fun experimenting with the electricity kit. There were many different experiments to do. This allowed my students to apply all of their learning on electricity. The step-by-step science experiment kit is also a wonderful tool for students to use to understand the scientific method. All of the materials you donated have truly made a difference in the learning that has taken place. Thank you so much. Your kindness is truly appreciated.”

Funded Jan 16, 2010Thank you so much for the writing materials. They have truly helped to improve my students writing skills. The books provide me with great lesson ideas on many different aspects of writing. There are fun and interesting ways to teach specific writing skills in those books. They are a wonderful resource for me to have.
The students have been using the writing process chart to keep track of their progress in the writing process. It keeps them aware each day of where they left off from. It also helps me see who I have conferenced with, who is revising, who is having trouble getting started, etc.
The Revision station has been a huge asset in improving these students writings. It gives them a place to go to for assistance. They are able to pull what they need based on our conferences. It really allows them to improve on their own.
Thank you again for the generous donations. These writing materials will be put to good use over and over again. They really have helped my students improve in their writing skills.”

Vigorous Vocab
Funded Dec 30, 2009Thank you so much for the vocabulary materials you donated to my classroom. They have been a huge asset in improving the vocabulary skills of the students. They have been very useful during small group instruction as well as center time. The students really enjoy playing the games. Learning vocabulary has become more interesting and fun for the students. They are always asking if they can play. Vocabulary is a weak area for my students and I have already seen an improvement with these materials. They are using vocabulary more in their writing, and are able to comprehend more in their reading. I appreciate your thoughtful donation. You have made a difference in the enjoyment these kids are getting out of learning. Thank you again.”

Come On Down!!!!
Funded Mar 20, 2009Thank you so much for funding this project. My students have loved the Eggspert! It made reviewing in math and reading more enjoyable and exciting. They were thrilled when they were able to use Eggspert in their math and reading groups. It helped them to strive for correct answers and work hard. They also love the reading centers! They find so much fun in choosing their own center to do. The activities included in the centers cover many different reading skills. I have seen a real interest in reading come through these boys and girls.
Again, I really appreciate you funding this project. It means a lot to me and the students. We are putting these materials to good use and they are making a difference in the student learning in my classroom! Thank you so much for your generosity.”
