    Funded Jan 16, 2020

    Thank you for much for your thoughtfulness and generosity in funding our project. We are very excited to receive our painting supplies so we can make beautiful artwork and structures to share with our classmates and families! The resources will help us attain our goals in so many different ways!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cole

  • Read like a Rock Star!

    Funded Nov 21, 2019

    Your donations have helped us purchase books, wobbly chairs, and a bean bag seat. The children in our class can not wait to visit the library and will often choose this area during free choice. We have a great selection of new books to read and cuddle up with a friend on the bean bag. During reading groups, we have our wobbly chairs which have helped tremendously with attention and focus. We also use the wobbly chairs to assist friends with sustained attention when they may need to wiggle! Thanks for making our classroom such an inviting place to learn!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cole

  • Ready to Read!

    Funded Aug 22, 2018

    The books added to our classroom library has brought new life into the center. Children are so excited to go to the center and choose new books to read. There is a selection of fiction and non-fiction texts (non-fiction has been a favorite)! Each year I have children coming into kindergarten son various reading levels, your donation has helped each child have several books that they can read independently.

    The library center is always a "go-to" place where children can read for enjoyment, to research about something we have been learning, or to just share a book with a friend. We are definitely ready to read!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cole

    This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 4 other donors.
The books chosen in this project will be used during guided reading groups, intervention groups, and during independent reading time. The children love reading "real" books and not photocopied books that we often have to use. The "real" books are always handled with care and recommended to peers while working in small groups. Children love having their book baskets filled with new books each week. They will often read independently, to peers, and to teachers in the classroom. I love to provide the children in my room with an assortment of genres to choose from...finding their reading preference makes a world of difference in their motivation to read!
