  • Making the Shift in Reading!

    Funded May 23, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation of all the hands on manipulatives for my K-5 students. These multisensory reading tools will help students during their structured and systematic reading instruction! The students who visit the reading room each day put forth so much effort and extra practice during their school day. These students were thrilled to use the magnetic chips, reading readiness sound cards and sound boxes to help practice with their systematic, structured and explicit reading practice! Thank you again!”

  • Sensory Prizes for Hard Working Students!

    Funded Jan 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for our incredible sensory prizes! Our reading students leave the classroom and visit the reading room for extra support five days a week. They put forth so much hard work during the week, we want to provide them with a prize by Friday, each week. They LOVE the sensory prizes such as fidget spinners, wacky trackies, mochi squishy toys and more. By providing these students, Kindergarten through 5th grade with prizes, not only do they get to take something home with them but they have something to look forward too all week. Thank you again for your continued support for our students. It truly means so much to us as educators and to the students.”

  • Keep the Germs Away!

    Funded Dec 20, 2022

    Thank you so much for our cleaning supplies for the reading room! We see over 60 students a day in one room. To keep kids happy, healthy and in school, we have them wash their hands right when they walk into the room, so they don't catch anything which would make them sick. We also wipe down the tables and stools when they leave, creating a safe and clean environment for each reading group. We could not have done this without your help of supplying the antibacterial wipes and antibacterial soap for our students. Thank you again for your generosity.”

  • Student Materials During a Pandemic!

    Funded Jan 23, 2022

    Thank you so much for supplying my students with basic school supplies. My students who come into the reading room all need separate supplies due to the pandemic. With seeing over forty students a day, its hard to keep up with giving them the basics. The pencils, crayons, glue sticks and scissors are the BEST gift for hard working students to keep. They are able to keep them all in their own pencil pouches, which helps keep everything clean and neat during this pandemic school year. Thank you again for thinking of my reading students and supplying them with the basics necessities!”

  • Sight Word Knowledge Is Powerful!

    Funded Jan 19, 2022

    Thank you so much for helping the reading room supply students with sight word supplies.

We create between 50-60 sight word rings for students in grades Kindergarten - Fifth Grade. This supplies helps students of all ages, who are working extra hard during their school day to become proficient readers. Thank you again for thinking of ALL our students, especially during a trying year. We sincerely thank you for your generosity!”

  • School Supplies for K-5 Students!

    Funded Jan 19, 2022

    Thank you so incredibly much for funding our school supplies project. During the pandemic, students need to have individual supplies, keeping everything individualized and clean for kids. We are separate from their classroom, so asking for double supplies can be hard to do with families. This allows us to supply students with their own pencil pouch, crayons and scissors for the reading room. By doing so, they keep it in their reading folder, allowing them to keep their supplies clean and readily available. Thank you so much for thinking of over fifty students, kindergarten to fifth grade. It means so much especially in a hard pandemic year such as this.”

  • Holiday Books for K-5 Students!

    Funded Dec 16, 2021

    Thank you so incredibly much for your generous donation. Every year the reading room distributes Christmas books to all the reading students, Kindergarten through fifth grade. We wrap them up and distribute them on the last day before break. The books that are left over, we use for the following year. The hopes is that the kids bring the holiday books home and enjoy them with their families over the winter break. Thank you again for thinking of our students. We love seeing their faces light up when the gift of reading is wrapped up and placed in their hands to keep!”

    Funded Dec 29, 2021

    Thank you so incredibly much for our cleaning supplies for our reading room. We give students clean masks almost every day. The wipes we use for tables, door knobs and anything the students use or share. Lastly, we use the antibacterial spray for the stools and bathroom in the reading room. The kids who need to wash their hands also have antibacterial soap to use while in the reading room. Thank you so much for thinking of our reading room and all the students who come in and work hard.

Hello! I am a certified reading specialist at a rural elementary school in upstate New York. Our school has a student population of 350 students. Teaching all children to read requires that every child receives excellent reading instruction and that children who are struggling with reading receive additional instruction. That's where I come into play! Teaching all children to read requires extended differentiated instruction to children who have various physical, emotional, and educational needs. Using Donor's Choose has provided me with many opportunities to provide my students with various learning materials and I am forever thankful !
