Reading Centers for Success!
Funded Jan 26, 2023These materials have greatly impacted our daily centers rotations for both Reading and for Math. My students were so excited when the boxes arrived to the room that they could hardly wait to open them and start to use them. Once the materials were opened, they started using them immediately in the classroom. They have gone from not being the most thrilled about working on centers, to it being their favorite part of the day. I have seen a great deal of improvement through out the students just with the implementation of these materials. Once again, thank you so much for donating to my class and supporting my wonderful first grade students!”

This classroom project was brought to life by FamilyAlbum and one other donor.Privacy Shields for Success!
Funded Dec 28, 2019Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and my students. The students were so excited to see the boxes with the privacy folders arrive to our room. We immediately unboxed them and got them set up so we could use them immediately. The folders have greatly improved our independent work and writing time. They allow the students to focus on the work that is in front of them, rather then the other students who sit at their group. It also allows the students to focus during tests. It gives the students their own private space to take their test, which allows them to focus even more. Once again, thank you for supporting my classroom and my amazing students!”

Funded Sep 21, 2019Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and my students. We were beyond excited to receive the various sensory materials and to start using them in the classroom. These materials have made our chill zone a much more effective place then it was before. The variety of items that we were given allows each student, depending on their needs, to be able to select an item that will best suit them. It allows all of my students to be successful in our classroom no matter what. Once again, my students and I are very grateful for your support towards our classroom.”

Kindles for Learning!
Funded Mar 30, 2018Thank you so much for supporting our classroom. My students were so excited to find out that we would be having kindles in our classroom to enhance our small group learning. They were even more excited to find out that the kindles had arrived and that we could open ad begin to use them. By having the kindles, the students are able to play educational games, research projects, and work together quietly in small groups. In addition to the kindles, having the proper protective case is important as well. My students were so excited to see that the cases were in bright and beautiful colors. It was not long before each students decided which color/case was their favorite. Once again, my students and I can not thank you enough for supporting our classroom.”

Funded May 9, 2018Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! Having a fish in our room has had a wonderful impact on my students learning, whether that be emotional or academic. I have seen such growth with their compassion when it comes to the fish and to their fellow students. Having a classroom pet also teaches the students a sense of responsibility. The students take turns feeding and caring for the fish. The fish also adds a sense of joy to our classroom. He gives the students something to be excited for when coming to school. Having these additional fish supplies helps us care for and love our fish!”
