Funded Nov 30, 2021Thank you so much for your generosity. Thanks to you students can obtain their Wonder-Co-Lab and Quest-Co-Lab materials in an organized matter. It is much easier for students to find their materials and start working in their centers immediately.

Funded Apr 20, 2021Thank you so much for your donation and generosity. Thanks to you my students had the opportunity to read their favorite book series during their book club meetings. My students love reading the "Nate" and " Captain Underpants" series. They couldn't stop reading. They would take their books to the gym, recess, cafeteria, and even reading while walking. They were so into their books that as the year progress my students reading levels increase dramatically, and their book talks were increadible. It was nice to see and hear the way they express their feelings and opinions about their reading during our reading debate. Book clubs are a great way to get students reefing and talking about stories together. All students deserve amazing, high-interest book club books! Once again thank you!”

Leveled Books For Kindergarten!
Funded Oct 30, 2019Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and for helping me build my classroom library. The library is an essential part of any educational environment. It is always a work in progress but having these leveled texts allows me to have a surplus of options for all kids. No matter their reading abilities. My students needed to have the right level of books. Thanks to the new leveled book students can develop the essential skills in the areas of alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness, and print knowledge that provide a foundation for learning to read. We are super excited to have gotten these books into our classroom. We are working really hard learning great strategies to build our reading muscles! These leveled readers came in just in time to help us practice our reading. The various levels received, helped the students work in their "just right" level supporting individual students reading skills!”

Funded Jan 28, 2019Thank you so much for funding our project and for your generosity. When the kids first saw the nursery setup they were surprised and couldn't way to use the new items. One child said it feels like "Christmas, I love the new doll bed, washer, and doll accessories". The students love talking about their families, brothers and sisters, and babies. What better way to explore these topics deeper than having a nursery in our classroom. My students have been using the nursery items to extend their vocabulary and conversational skills along with learning more about taking care of others and understanding responsibility. For example my children engage changing the dolls clothes and bathing, feeding them, putting them to sleep, reading and singing to them, and most of all being gentle and kind to our new babies. There is no better way to learn new skills than through play. With these materials, the children have created a community that understands the importance of working together.”

Funded Aug 7, 2017Muchas Gracias por toda su ayuda!
Thank you very much for your generous donations of a new listening center, a projector, and for the portable projector screen to our wonderful dual language Pre-K class. I can finally have technology in my class. Now my children can see videos, photographs, and slide shows comfortably; tools that would enrich my lessons and benefit my students. The projector has help bring my lessons to life and keep students engaged and stimulated during learning.
The children were so excited when they saw the new learning materials arriving. Now our listening center is a very popular center! My students love to listen to a variety of music from different cultures and Spanish stories. At the same time, they are learning important reading skills through this fun activity, which will helped them reinforce vocabulary and comprehension as they build their literacy skills. But most important they are having fun learning Spanish by listening to fun stories.
It is loving to see children being passionate about books and literature. That's my goal! My children's conversation about books, and using the new vocabulary astonishes me each day. Thank you for supporting literacy and technology in our Pre-K class!”
