  • Hands-On Learning Activities

    Funded Aug 10, 2022

    Thank you so much for your donation to my project this summer. My students have enjoyed the many new activities! I am able to use these resources during our centers time, and they really help students to become more independent and confident in their skills.

    This year I have many students who came in without knowing many words in English. Through our curriculum and the resources that you helped to provide, they are thriving in English! Having manipulatives that they can work with has made a big impact.

    We are only half-way through the year and I'm excited to see where the rest of the year takes us!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Zinkus

    This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and 5 other donors.
  • Playing While Learning

    Funded Mar 3, 2021

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am so excited that this project has been fully funded, and just in time for me to welcome all of my students back in April. They will thoroughly enjoy playing learning games together, and these will help us review for our state testing as well.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Zinkus

  • Our Classroom Rug: A Gathering Place

    Funded Aug 1, 2018

    A big thank you to all of you who helped me complete this project! I am so excited to have a new rug for this upcoming school year, and I know my new students will love it. I'm eternally grateful for all of you in helping me create a comfortable gathering place in my classroom.”

  • Storage for My Avid Readers

    Funded Jan 2, 2018

    Thank you so much for your support! We use our new book storage each and every day. With these book shelves my students have become independent in finding books to read as well as putting their books away.

    My students were excited to learn that there were friends who were willing to help our classroom, and were even more excited when they first saw the book shelves set up in the room. They love to go over and find their next book to read.

    I hope to gather enough books in the upcoming months to have each of the shelves filled with books that encourage them to read, explore, and learn.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Zinkus

Right now we have about 400 books in our library. I'd like to increase that by about 300 books in 2018 so that my students have a wide variety of books to choose from. In order to do so, we're in desperate need of storage! We are already running out of space for our current book selection. With my goal of adding more books, we need more storage shelves so that the books are easily accessible to my avid readers! Right now there are books being stored in cabinets where students cannot access them, some in buckets underneath tables, and others still in my basement! If we have more shelving, my students will be able to independently browse our books and be able to pick books that are interesting to them.
