Read! Read! Read!
Funded Aug 27, 2013Thank you so much for supporting our project! We have been very busy reading and LOVING our new books. Reading has become so much more exciting and it wouldn't have been possible without all of these wonderful new books. Most of the students in the class are so excited to be reading a chapter book for the FIRST time. They are reading for more time and they are also finding it difficult to stop reading because they are loving what they are reading. Thank you for seeing the importance of reading and allowing me to be able to instill a lifelong love for books.”

Funded Aug 28, 2012Thank you for the amazing supplies for my classroom. We have been busy using them and they are a wonderful addition to our learning.
The students favorite part of our day is our morning routine when they use the calendar. They each take turns leading the calendar. You will see from the photos how engaged this tool has made them in the classroom.
We will start a new writing project this week where we get to use the wonderful notebooks that you donated. They will be able to keep the students organized and focused while writing.
I can't thank you enough for your donations and being able to use these materials for all of my classes in the future.”

Funded Apr 11, 2011We can't thank you enough for the wonderful supplies you have donated to our classroom. We absolutely love having a new listening center and new books about famous figures that have helped shape our history. Our listening center has become an excellent addition to our classroom and I look forward to using it earlier in the year with the current class. The biography cards are phenomenal and many students enjoy quizzing each other about what was important about many important historical figures.
Your generosity is appreciated. You are helping so many students have a brighter future in education. I can't thank you enough. ”

Comfy Reading Station
Funded Oct 15, 2010Thank you so much for donating to our classroom. The cozy reading corner has become a class favorite and we are reading so much in this new area of our classroom. We have added a listening center to this area and every student has a chance to listen or read a story at least once a week.
The students reading levels have increased tremendously and the area has also served as a place for where students that need a break can go and be comfortable.
Thank you again for your generous donation. You are all making my students better readers.”

Center Time!
Funded Sep 10, 2010We have been having an incredible start to the school year, thanks to your generous donation. Every morning we are able to start off our day with a daily warm up with the books we were able to purchase. My students are becoming better at comprehension and look forward to improving on their scores from the day before. Not only has this been a great tool in building comprehension but a beginning test preparation for my students for the state exam they will take next year in literacy.
We have been doing centers and my students are now able to sort words into categories, put words into alphabetical order, learn about suffixes, and put letters together to form words. We are having an excellent time in this classroom.
However, it wouldn't have been possible without you. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and look forward to becoming better readers!”

Continents! Continents! Continents!
Funded Dec 4, 2009Thank you so much for donating money to provide a new carpet for my students. They are so excited to be able to sit on a new, beautiful rug which also helps us remember our continents. The rug has been adding to our Social Studies curriculum as we have been locating different places on it. We have been using the carpet to locate Haiti which we have been raising money for earthquake victims. This rug will continue to be an excellent resource for Social Studies. We appreciate your donations and thank you for making us experts on continents.”
