All Hands on Deck, All Hands-on Learning!
Funded Jan 28, 2022My students are loving our new games and materials you provided for our class! When they first saw them sitting on the table they couldn't believe all the new things we got. They kept asking; "When do we get to use them?"
They are so excited to try the new activities and tell me every time how much fun they are. They are more engaged and excited to do centers or small group instruction. If they see another group using them they are peeking over other students shoulders to see how to play or use the materials. As I was getting some of the materials prepared they wanted to help, so I let them! They loved being part of the process of sorting some of the materials.
It has helped them be more independent in their learning as well. They are developing their social skills because they are working with their peers and having to share material.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Utah State Board of Education.A Book Can Take You Anywhere!
Funded Oct 16, 2017Thank you for providing books for my project; A Book Can Take You Anywhere! The students have loved these stories as we have read them as a class or individually. We have learned a lot about social skills; like how to listen, how to be kind, and how to raise our hand when we have something to say. Students have also been able to learn more about math concepts and love these books.
These books are funny and engage my students. They also encourage my students to love reading. We try to read a new story everyday and discuss how this can help us in our classroom and in our life. They love new books and felt very special when they received these wonderful donations!
Thank you so much for this donation! My students and I are very humbled to receive such amazing books and generosity.”

iPad's: Bringing Technology to our Classroom
Funded Oct 17, 2016Thank you for funding technology in our classroom. My students and I were both excited to receive the iPads and start using them. These iPads have helped in our listening center where students get to listen to audio books being read to them as they follow along in the book. They have been able to read online books with the option of having the stories read to them as well. Students can use the iPads to complete their time on our online learning program. The iPads will allow me to differentiate and individualize instruction for each student. They will be able to explore and expand their knowledge through technology.
My students are most excited about being able to use the iPads in our listening center, to read online stories with audio, and different instructional apps. They are great at using the iPad's and knowing all of the different things it can do.
All of my students are excited to use the iPads and love the opportunity they have to use them in their learning.
Thanks again for this generous donation!”
