COVID Free Is The Way To Be
Funded Sep 29, 2020Thank you so much for your donation. Your donation has made the classroom environment at this time feel safe and clean. Students are able to freely walk around the classroom with the donated mask, along with the staff. The handwashing timers are a great visual for everyone too. The thermometer helps to ensure everyone is feeling fine upon entry. The donated air filter really helps circulate the air in the room! Your donation is very much appreciated during these trying times, the students and I appreciate all your help.”

Funded Dec 17, 2015Thank you so much for your generous donation! The students were amazed at all the gifts and materials we received! Immediately they wanted to "play" with it all. I had to explain what everything was and how we will be using them; along with the fact that people(donors) believed in how great they are and want them to be successful in life and this is why they have received these things.
The students have been making huge improvements when it come to their individual learning styles. They absolutely love the token reward system. I have noticed behaviors change drastically, participation has also improved, and best of all they have learned how to save their "money" as many of them call it to get bigger rewards.
The DVDs, flash cards, pocket chart cards etc. provide a great visual and center for the students they are now not so over whelmed; I sometimes give them assessments this way instead of the traditional paper and pencil test which can cause some of the students to become overwhelmed.
Once again thank you so much for helping the students and I on our journey through education.”

Funded Feb 15, 2015As a teacher of young children, I am understand that emergent readers need plenty of support on the road to literacy. They need text they can decode and understand easily, as well as a text that will also provide them with challenges as they move towards fluency.
The leveled readers you purchased are helping my students' achieve this balance. The leveled readers are allowing the students to match texts to children at individual levels of literacy learning; they are helping me reach every student in the class.
These books are helping the children read and enjoy reading. Thank you so much to contributing to their education.”

A Safe Place To Call My Own
Funded Dec 17, 2014Dear Donors,
Thank you is not enough. The students and I greatly appreciate you for your donation to our classroom. Your donation has made a tremendous impact to our classroom environment. Before your donation the students and I had a very small carpet in the classroom the students were practically sitting on top of each other; now the students have enough personal space between each other allowing for less disruption to instructional time. Along with the carpet the children love to lay on the bean bag chairs they love the comforting feeling the bean bag chair gives them when they sit with their favorite book and it swallows them inside. :0)
I have implemented sensory time in the classroom. Sensory time is a time for the students to take a "brain break". During sensory time the students can chose to play with the therapy putty or play dough all while they listen to classical music. Along with sensory time I also allow the students to use the silly putty, stress balls, and play dough with a sand timer for personal break time throughout the day.
Once again thank you so much for you kindness,
Tiffany Arce and students”
