  • My Weird School Books

    Funded Jun 12, 2012

    Thank you so much for your generous donations! The books that you donated made a major difference in the lives of these struggling readers.

    When the boxes arrived the students couldn't believe their eyes! They were so excited to go through all the different books and each one chose a different book to read. They even asked to borrow them over night to do their daily reading. One student asked if they could start a reading club in school. This was a request from a student who never showed any interest in reading!

    Funded Dec 25, 2011

    Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom. The kids have been having so much fun with ELMO and learning too! They even sing the ELMO song when it is their turn to use it.

    Each and everyday the students ask for the use of ELMO. We have been using it in each subject and even when I don't think I can use it, the kids suggest a way to incorporate it into the lesson. It has been an amazing teaching tool and has truly motivated the students to learn.

  • Pencils, Pencils, Pencils

    Funded Aug 2, 2011

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. Words can't express how grateful we are for receiving the case of pencils.

    My students were so excited to hear that a total stranger would help us out in this way. I think that through your generosity these young men and women will now have a different outlook on things. They have shown more compassion as a result of knowing that people care.

    They now will have the ability to use a pencil to further their learning. In the past students would write with whatever they found but now they will have pencil available to them for both in class and at home. They will be able to make corrections to their work and not have to scribble things out. They can be proud of their neat papers.

    It is through donors like you that our children will succeed! Thanks again! ”

  • For The Love Of Reading

    Funded Feb 5, 2011

    Thank you so much for your generous support! The students truly loved all the books! It has really made a big difference in their lives.The girls especially enjoyed learning about Anne Frank and the boys loved all the books about animals.They were so excited when the books came in that even my reluctant readers wanted to borrow some books to take home.

    School has just come to a close for this school year and I retested all students to measure their progress in reading. I was amazed to see how well the students progressed this year. Most students have raised their reading by one full grade level. This is a major accomplishment for this population of special needs students. I attribute this to all the wonderful new books they received. It has made them much more motivated to learn.

I currently teach a special needs class of seventh and eighth grade students in a high poverty inner city school district. We currently have a few leveled readers on various levels but my students have already read them. I usually have the same students for up to four years in a row which requires a large amount of materials to meet their needs.
