  • Help!! Materials Needed For A New Kindergarten Classroom

    Funded Mar 23, 2010

    By having these new materials in our class, my students can benefit from learning and practicing skills using hands on materials. They are able to learn not only from myself but through their own exploration. This is imperative to their education. A whole new world has been opened because of your kindness. I, as well as my students, thank you from the bottoms our hearts.

    We were so excited to receive our packages in the mail. As a teacher, it is thrilling to see the same glow that they have during the holidays, when new materials come. They race to pick up the boxes from the office, and I can't seem to open them fast enough. When we open the boxes the children are so excited and grateful. Therefore they will continue to be motivated to learn. The puppets are going to bring a lifetime of learning. I thank you again, and wish you all the health and happiness in the world. ”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Firth

  • Books On Cd Needed for a New Kindergarten Classroom

    Funded Mar 23, 2010

    Your donations to my classroom are providing my students with the variety of books and books on cd were necessary to keep them engaged in reading activities on a daily basis. It is incredibly rewarding to see students who read only a few books in previous years and are now reading a new book or even two every day! It is incredible just how much these books are making a difference in my students' willingness to read. They are starting to know all the words in the books and its s big sense of accomplishment. Your generosity is truly having a positive and long lasting impact on my students. Beyond the donation of books and the cd's, they have also commented on how nice it is for people who don't know us to donate to our classroom. I'm sure that several of my students will learn from your example and will donate to others in the future.

    Thank you so much for your donations. The books and cd's are truly appreciated and will be enjoyed for many years!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Firth

  • In Need Of Kindergarten Materials

    Funded Mar 23, 2010

    I cannot begin to thank you enough for helping to fund my classroom proposal through donorschoose.org. I was so moved to see that people who didn't even know my students or me would think enough of us and our project to donate their hard-earned money to fund it. As an elementary school teacher, I spend hundreds of dollars each year to provide materials for my classroom, but there are some materials I simply cannot afford to provide. Your generosity makes these hands-on opportunities to learn sight words and activities that I requested. All these manipulatives are used with students during guided reading and literacy workstations. My students are becoming better readers and writers as we speak. Thank you for everything!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Firth

In full-day Kindergarten, the children participate in modeled, guided, and independent reading every day. My students need motivating games and activities to practice and master Kindergarten literacy skills.
