    Thank you so much for bringing these amazing resources into our classroom. Each student will receive their own environment-themed activity book! They will learn to be environmentally conscious through the completion of mazes, crosswords, word searches, drawing challenges, anagrams, word ladders, tic tac toe, word ladders, and designing their own T-shirt to promote environmental awareness.

    Each page is engaging and ties directly in with third grade lessons on the planet earth, endangered animals, and renewable energy sources. I am excited to plan lessons that build on these activity books. Thank you for making our classroom a fun and exciting place to learn!!”

  • The History of Hershey

    Funded Dec 9, 2024

    The funding of this project was an amazing opportunity for my third grade students to have a wonderful learning experience!!

    The resources including a Pennsylvania Activity Book, Adventures in Pennsylvania book, and Milton Hershey biographies provided perfect facts and exciting activities for our classroom. The information was up to date, engaging, and just right for third graders!!

    The Hershey chocolate and candy assortments are definitely going to be an exciting way to explore the types of candy that we will be learning about as we follow along with Milton Hershey's journey learning to make candy. The art supplies and rewards will be used for chocolate themed projects and activities throughout the unit.

    This project will create memories that my students will never forget. Thank you for making our classroom a fun and exciting place to learn!!”
