  • Student Planners to Keep My Scholars on Task

    Funded Sep 21, 2016

    I cannot thank you enough for your amazing donations to our classroom. When I opened the boxes of materials with my scholars, they began to scream with excitement! It was an amazing feeling to experience!

    The student planners have been such a hit in our classroom. Each day my scholars write down their homework and have learned how to use them independently. Prior to your donation, I depended heavily on loose sheet paper as a way to write down the homework and as you imagined my scholars would lose them before they got home. Now, my scholars are able to write down their homework and important notes each day.

    Thank you again for your support!”

    With gratitude,

  • Academic Success During the Summer Break

    Funded Apr 22, 2016

    Today I distributed the summer workbooks to my scholars and I received amazing feedback. My scholars were excited that they had summer work to complete! I was amazed by their reaction. The parents were extremely grateful and pleased to know that their child will remain engaged during the summer months.

    The workbooks focus on key skills scholars must master before entering second grade. I was happy to learn that the ELA workbooks focused on sight words which is essential to reading success. The additional practice will give them a head start in September. The workbooks are extremely entertaining! My scholars will have a great time while learning!”

  • Watch Our Creativity Grow!

    Funded Mar 12, 2016

    I cannot thank you enough for your amazing donations to our classroom. When I opened the boxes of materials with my scholars, they began to scream with excitement! It was an amazing feeling to experience, and, as you can see, my students instantly fell in love with the crayons, glue sticks, pencils, and more.

    The supplies your donations have provided our classroom have really made a tremendous impact. Each day my scholars listen to a story and are asked to respond in their reading journal. Prior to your donation, scholars would simply draw a plain picture and write a sentence supporting their answer. Now, my scholars are able to bring their entries to life. I believe the supplies have really brought their creativity out.

    Thank you again for your support!”

  • Bouncing In Our Seats!

    Funded Mar 11, 2016

    The Bouncy Bands have been such an amazing addition to our classroom. My scholars were extremely excited to learn that we have received funding for our project. When we received the shipment my scholars could not contain their excitement. They immediately requested that I put them on their chairs! I've found that my scholars are able to remain more focused during our daily tasks since implementing the bands.

    As the school year is rapidly coming to end, the bands are maintaining our classroom expectations. I've also found that the bands relax my scholars during assessments. I've noticed that when they get nervous they use the band as a way to ease their bodies and minds.

    Thank you for providing my scholars with such an awesome opportunity. They are able to enjoy the school day and bounce in their seats!”

  • Teaching With Technology

    Funded Mar 13, 2016

    The Amazon Fire Tablets and headphones have become an amazing addition to our classroom. When the students first learned we received the donations they were beyond excited. Each day my scholars ask "Ms. R are we going to use the tablets today!"

    Since receiving the tablets and headphones, I have implemented them into our Guided Reading time. Scholars are eagerly working on the tablets without distracting their peers. They are engaged in literacy applications that are geared towards enhancing their reading capabilities.

    I am able to enrich each child's learning experience as well as providing additional practice.

    Thanks to your donation my scholars are becoming critical thinkers and problem solvers.”
