  • Safe Snacks for All!

    Funded Jan 17, 2025

    Wow! What exciting news. Timing is everything. We are almost out of our last container of snack. Thank you so much for donating to my project. My students are extremely fortunate to have so many caring people willing to share their hard earned money. Now when they are hungry they can get up grab a safe snack and get back to work.”

  • Essential Supplies for a Fantastic School Year!

    Funded Aug 21, 2024

    Thank you so much for choosing to support my students. They were so excited to unwrap the dry erase boards and use them for the first time. The smiles on their faces said it all. They contnue to talk about all the new materials they have to use in the classroom.

    The dry erase boards and markers allowed my students to complete their math work, specifically solve addition and subtraction facts by drawing fact families and writing number sentences. Having the erasers attached to the markers made it easier for students to manage the materials. They were able to erase quickly and then focus on solving each equation. In addition they now have a place to store their materials neatly in the wire mesh file organizer and easily transport them from one palce to antoher.

    My students just began using their new notebooks and purple folders for their phonic lessons. My second graders switch classes to get individualized instruction to meet their needs. Since they are with other students on the grade we decided to color code their notebooks and folders for easy recognition. Thank you again for all your support!”

  • Books, Books, Books! Read to Learn!

    Funded Mar 1, 2017

    Thank you so much for bringing joy to my classroom. My students have been smiling because they now have new books they love to read. Each day they ask, can I bring this home. Because of your generosity I am able to say yes.

    Through the non-fiction text my students are able to learn about the different text features such as the table of contents, photographs, captions, diagrams, and glossary in books they are able to read on their own. Many of my students are English Language Learners and have a limited English vocabulary. Through these books they are developing a larger vocabulary.

    Each day my students participate in Reading Workshop with me doing a mini-lesson to teach a new skill. Then the students go back and complete an independent activity or group activity to practice the skill they learned. In addition they have time to read books on their level and of their choice. The boys especially love the non-fiction and Fly Guy books.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Helfman

Parents will help their child/children read each night at home. They need books on their level so that they can practice strategies they are learning in class. My class is made up of students from low income families that do not have any books at home. Parents want to help their children but they do not have the resources at home. My students are reading way below reading level. I am currently printing books from the computer and sending home black and white books each night from children to read. My students will benefit from vivid illustrations in these leveled readers.
