Boosting Comprehension
Funded May 21, 2019Thank you so much for your generous donations! I can not wait to use the containers to store different materials and manipulatives for my students to use during small group time. This containers are perfect because they allow students to see what is inside them without being visually disruptive.
I can not wait to use the Lakeshore Comprehension Small Group set. This will help at the beginning of the year to get my high students accustomed to the small group set up while reading texts that are on level. Towards the middle to the end of the year, this will be perfect for my students who are reading more on grade level.
The Lakeshore subject (science and social studies) readers are the perfect way to integrate science and social studies into guided reading! My students always find these interesting, and make great connections!
Thank you again for your donations to help make my classroom successful!”

Comfort Is Key
Funded Nov 26, 2018Thank you so much for your generous donations! These new resources are being used as additions to our flexible seating options. My students cheered when they first saw the boxes, and realized it was new additions for our room. They have loved trying out the new seating, and they have quickly become favorite spots in the room. The storage bench, floor seats, and wobble cushions allow for my students to focus and be comfortable while working throughout the day! We have LOVED our new flexible seating options. Thank you so much again!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Atlantic Coast Conference.Flexible Seating and Reading in Our Room
Funded Nov 29, 2017Thank you so much for your generous donations to my classroom! These items were enjoyed by my students at the end of the year and will be enjoyed by future classes. Flexible seating has helped them be more successful. I think the addition of the literacy materials will help them be more independent. My students will be able to build their fluency and public speaking skill, by using the reader theater scripts. My students are more engaged when we are playing games to practice concepts, and I love that the Lakeshore games come with self-check cards! They will love practicing grammar, writing, and context clues through these games. The timer will provide a good visual for students on how much time they have left in their Daily 5 round. The close reading clips and opinion writing set will be great for practicing in small strategy groups.”

Funded Mar 27, 2018Thank you so much for your generous donations to my classroom! These items were enjoyed by my students at the end of the year and will be enjoyed by future classes. My students have LOVED having a couch as a flexible seating option. Additionally, through this project we added two more wobble stools to our seating options. These seats help students be more comfortable, confident, and focused! The Ready to Write! Prompt box is perfect for helping my third graders who are stuck on what to write about. The vocabulary practice cards take just the right amount of time to improve our vocabulary every day. Thank you again for helping make my classroom more successful!”

Funded Aug 14, 2017Thank you so much for your generous donations! My students have loved reading these diverse books. Every week we focus on one book and we focus on reading and grammar skills that can be found within the books. The texts are so rich that my students have discovered picture books are not easy books! When I read these books my students are completely focused because the stories are so compelling. We have discovered a variety of genres and characters in these books. It has been great for my students to be able to see themselves in these diverse characters. Thank you for helping my classroom and students be successful!”
