  • I'm Booked!

    Funded Jul 25, 2023

    Thanks for the amazing books! We appreciate you. We are using these books to read in small group instruction. The are helping me teach students phonics skills and phonemic awareness. I have students in beginning readers all the way through fourth grade chapter books. It is hard to help students learn to read on so many levels, but your books are helping me do my job and differentiate reading instruction. We are specifically learning blends and digraphs with many of the books you paid for with my lower groups.”

  • Prizes for Readers

    Funded Dec 20, 2022

    We've loved our reading prizes this school year. The students have been reading like crazy and it's all because of your generosity!

    I've been giving prizes for extra reading at home. It has been a hit. I have students who are reading for hours every night because they love their end of month goodies.

    I've been giving extra prizes for extra reading in the classroom, also! It has been a fun new thing. Those students are really reading whenever they can to earn the extra toys.

    I had some extra prizes so I gave some for math facts, too. It is prizes galore this year thanks to you.”

    Mrs. Konold

  • Charmed, I'm Sure

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    Thank you for the wonderful materials! We are using the small charms as incentives for reading in my 2nd-grade classroom.

    My students have been so excited to earn these adorable prizes. The excitement on their faces is just precious every time they look into our special box of prizes. They "ooh" and "ahh" and their eyes light up. They keep these special prizes in their desks in a special place and cherish them.

    They are really trying to read extra books at home so they can earn, earn, earn rewards now. Yipee!”

  • Art Projects for Expressing Feelings

    Funded Jan 18, 2022

    Thank you to the state of Utah for donating to my classroom. Students have loved the extra art supplies to use to express their feelings. They were thrilled to see the very very large boxes making their way into our classroom and even more excited to see all the supplies come out of the boxes. Thank you for providing great materials to make our daily work beautiful! We have been making art projects that are bigger and better than the regular projects we make. The higher quality backgrounds have been lovely, too.”

  • Class Desk Pets

    Funded Mar 22, 2021

    Thank you sincerely. I have seen motivation and productivity dramatically rise in my students since I have started using desk pets in my 2nd grade classroom.

    I now have students excited to finish their work to earn Lewis Loot, our class reward system. Students are not hurrying to finish assignments, but are now taking their time and doing their best work again.

    Students keep their earned desk pets in their desks and only take them out when they are supposed to. These young students have been thrilled to pick out their new rewards weekly.”

  • Sorry I'm Booked!

    Funded Sep 16, 2020

    Thank you for the wonderful books from Scholastic. We have been using these books daily in my classroom since they arrived at school last month. They are making a big impact on our daily schedule.

    First of all, I use these books during read-a-loud time both in the morning and afternoon. This is a favorite time for the students as they meet at the rug and we laugh and enjoy our time reading silly stories together. I also use some of these books during small group instruction. During this time I meet with a group of students who are struggling readers at my back table and I help them each with skills they need to progress to more challenging books.

    Most importantly, I use these books during silent sustained reading. This is the most important time of the day. I took time to level out the books I received from all of you kind donors and I placed them into boxes with other books on the same level. Each child has their own colorful book bin. The students choose 15 books at a time and read them by the end of the week. It is just wonderful! Students love having a classroom library and picking their own reading materials.”

    With gratitude,

I love teaching! Watching young people change the course of their future by becoming confident readers and writers is intoxicating. Any time I am able to mix technology in with my teaching, students can't help but get invested in learning. I would love for my fantastic students to be able to interact with me and hear my lessons in the coming year when they are at home social distancing. I would love to be able to teach them in Zoom lessons when while we are not able to be together in person. This last spring I was not able to do Zoom lessons with my class because I lacked the proper technology. It was painful to not be able to connect with my class and continue personal learning.
