Listening Together
Funded Jun 24, 2024I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation. My students are absolutely loving the new listening center!
When I opened it up and revealed all the new materials, their excitement was palpable. They now have the opportunity to use the listening center during both reading and math rotations. With the ample number of headphones, multiple students can engage simultaneously.
During reading time, they can hear fluent reading while enjoying a variety of books. In math centers, they are using listening games from Lakeshore to enhance their number sense, addition, and subtraction skills.
Your support is making a significant impact in our classroom. Thank you once again for your kindness!”

New Readers Need New Books to Decode!
Funded May 17, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donation to help my classroom get new decodable books! The support of the DonorsChoose community is overwhelming and I feel so blessed to know so many people that value public education as much as you do. Thank you again for allowing me to provide these materials for my children.
The need of decodable readers is so great, and this project will certainly help with that need. Some of the skills and lessons these books help me teach are cvc, digraph, blends, cvce and many more. Being a first grade teacher teaching reading is so important. This is the year they really learn to read and just take off. Now having these decodable readers in small group, I can really tell a huge difference it is making. Thank you again for your generous donation to my project.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Oklahoma State Department of Education.Document to Success!
Funded Oct 14, 2020Thank you so much for taking your time and resources to help fund my donors choose project. The document camera was not available to purchase so instead I bought hands on materials for my classroom. With the money I bought math and reading folder games. The reading games cover word pattern, word building, simple sentence structure, word patterns, and sight words. The math games are all addition and subtraction.
We use these games daily in literacy and math stations. I also got to buy some kindergarten literacy folder games that I will get to use at the beginning of the year. These will help students with beginning and ending sounds and phonemic awareness. The math folder games are helping students build fluency with addition and subtraction.
The students reaction to the material was priceless! They were so excited for all the new games they were going to have during centers. We are continuing to use the folder games and I can't wait to be able to use some of the games I wasn't able to use this year because we were already passed some of those skills. Thank you so much for your donation! We greatly appreciate it.”
