    Funded Mar 26, 2025

    I am so excited that my class will have this very important school supply! Your generosity is overwhelming and I know that my students will be overjoyed to finally be able to use their intervention programs in the way they were intended be used. We will take great care of our headphones, so they can be utilized for future students.”

  • The Science of Reading

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    I would like to express my gratitude on your donation to my classroom. My students are enjoying the hands on materials and visuals that were provided to us. I have many students who are newcomers to the English language.

    We use the materials in small groups. The Science of Reading is a researched approach to teaching and learning reading, It focuses on the mouth and how each letter is pronounced. It shows students how to form the sounds with actual picture cards of children's mouths and it also provides a display that categorizes the consonants, vowels, and sounds in a very intentional way.

    My students are loving the manipulatives, cards, and visuals you have provided. Your generosity and thoughtfulness cannot be fully expressed. I will be able to reach so many kids well into the future.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Mattern
