  • Ready, Set, Go!

    Funded Sep 26, 2023

    The students were totally shocked to receive their supplies. They couldn't believe they got such nice supplies. They said it was the best day ever! Thank you for making their day!

    In our class, the majority of our students come from low income background. Some students come with very few supplies and then the others sit there with nothing or just basic supplies. It was so nice for them to get a beautiful box of crayons and the coloring pencils had such vibrant colors. They don't have markers so when they got those they had the biggest smiles and shocked faces.”

  • Tin Whistles for Music

    Funded Sep 20, 2022

    Thank you so much! I am trying to be creative in getting musical instruments into the young hands of our students at Haugan. I hope to foster a live of learning music through these simple instruments and open their worlds to cultural music and music in general from around the world.”

    Funded Aug 31, 2022

    I am so excited that this project was funded! Since we don't have a band or orchestra program in our school the students will receive beginning music instruction with our humble Irish Tin Whistles! I am always happy to share my culture and nurture a love of music with children.”

  • Read for Need-Need to Read!

    Funded Aug 12, 2021

    It is wonderful to get the Science Schokastic Magazines. The magazines are always full of interesting topics especially about animals and my students love these. In reading the magazines have current topics and articles and the student learn how to find text evidence in these articles. Compared to our reading books which usually have long stories the magazine stories are short and interesting. We practice finding msin idea, facts, opinions and compare articles but we do a lot of discussions and respond in writing to them also.

    In my classroom we learn important skills and strategies from our reading books but then we read independently at our levels to practice those strategies and skills by ourselves and having access to a variety of material broadens their minds and vocabulary.

    Students really enjoy the magazines and reread them many times!

    Thank you so much for supporting our reading!”

  • Text Resources for Science and Reading

    Funded Dec 8, 2019

    Your donations have helped me supply exciting materials to my 2nd graders. Finding and paying for resources like this are fantastic for my students to thrive as future scientists and lifelong learners and readers. Thank you so much for your generosity and caring. It is truly amazing! My students deserve all the help they can get to be successful and you have set them on that path.”

I will be teaching Kindergarten this upcoming school year. It will be a different path for me from 2 nd grade, but I am so excited and thrilled at this new opportunity. I can't wait to meet my little friends and their families and be with them at the beginning of their learning journey at school. I want to set them off on the right foot into an adventure full of discovering new things about themselves and the world around them, to learn to read and count and be creative and imaginative. In my classroom I want to create a warm, welcoming and safe learning space where all my students can grow their brains and learn. So I begin to ask for help to create a space with a colorful and bright room. Getting bins to organize the library will attract the students to the library and call out to them to come get a book and read. To have art supplies to be creative will be awesome for these little Picassos.
