Kindling a Passion for Reading II
Funded Dec 27, 2013I don't know if you can imagine the excitement the arrival of these Kindle Fires created in my classroom! To say that my students were thrilled would just be an understatement! They are the most popular workstation we have in our classroom!
This handy piece of technology had become a part of both our Literacy and Math Workstations. But, we only had one....so definitely not enough to go around! There are so many ways to use these in the classroom. During our ELA block, they're used for Listening to Reading, playing phonics, sight word, or even spelling games! During Math, they provide an engaging way for kiddos to build fact fluency! We are so happy that we now have two more in our classroom!
Thank you for helping make education come alive and adding excitement to our classroom instruction! Like many schools, ours is also facing a budget crunch. Without your help, we would never have been able to add these dynamic tools to our classroom. You have touched the lives of not only these 26 little ones, but many others who will use these Kindle Fires in the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without donors like you, many classrooms would go without.”

Kindle a Passion for Reading
Funded Sep 2, 2013You can probably imagine the excitement the arrival of this Kindle Fire created in my classroom! To say that my students were thrilled would just be an understatement! There was (& continues to be) lots of jockeying to use it.

Reading Power!
Funded Mar 1, 2012I can't tell you how thrilled my students were when we received the box of books! If you've had an opportunity to see the pictures, you can tell by the excitement on their faces as they tore into the boxes. These students learned how to ready this year, and they learned to LOVE to read!
Their appetite for reading had nearly exhausted the supply of books in our classroom library. Your generous and thoughtful donation helped provide more books for our library, and helps move my students on to more difficult texts.
We truly appreciate your generosity. Thank you so very much for caring about education and children!”

Freeze Frame! Picture Perfect Learning!
Funded Dec 28, 2011We are just so thrilled to have these digital cameras! Thank you for your generous donation to our classroom. Because of you, my students can participate more fully in hands-on activities. I appreciate your interest and dedication to education!
So far, we've used the cameras every day; in workstations, my students have made words using materials like playdoh and pasta, and then taken pictures of their creations. They LOVE being able to upload their pictures on the computer to share with others! Today, we're dividing into groups and taking a tour of our school, snapping pictures of geometrical shapes with the cameras. They are so excited! I wish you could hear the chatter!

Ready to Read!!
Funded Aug 23, 2011Thank you for giving my students the gift of reading! My students were SO excited when the books arrived! I quickly added them to our library and they have been flying off the shelves ever since!
These books have really played a part in getting these little ones excited about reading. They get to choose 6-10 books each week to keep in their own book baskets-- selecting books themselves is so important. My kiddos camp out around the room and read, read, read every day.
Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom and for your interest in education. I hope you feel a sense of reward in the knowledge that you have helped a group of little ones gain an excitement about reading! Thank you!”

Ahoy Mateys! Help Us Anchor Our Learning!
Funded Aug 12, 2011Thank you so very much for the donation you have made for our classroom. This easel is used in our classroom every single day in a variety of ways.
We create anchor charts together that help us anchor our learning in reading, writing, and math. We also use it to create pieces of shared writing. It really has been invaluable in allowing us to create such items which are so important to learning, and we truly thank you for your part in helping us get the easel.
As many public schools, our school is facing a budget crunch. Without your help, we would not have been able to have such a wonderful tool to use in our classroom. Thank you so much for your generosity and for your support of education!”

Hands-On Learning = Lifetime Readers
Funded Jun 3, 2011We were SO excited to learn that our project was funded. I wish you could have seen (and heard) the excitement when the box was delivered and I unpacked the goodies! Literacy games and supplies for our workstations! My first graders were thrilled!
What fun my students have had using these materials in our workstations each day. And-- even better-- learning at the same time! These supplies are helping my first graders learn about phonics and word families, and helping to put them on the path to becoming readers!
Thank you so much for choosing to fund our project, and more importantly, for helping children get the supplies they need to help them learn! You are so appreciated!”
