  • Me in a Book!

    Funded Jan 12, 2022

    Thank you so much for supporting my students and my classroom! I have recently added ESOL to my licensure. I learned so much through my program and saw the importance of diversifying my classroom library. My students are enjoying getting to see themselves portrayed in books. They get to see characters that look like them! This has allowed me to teach topics such as culture and kindness. It has also allowed for dialogue between my diverse students and their peers. They are getting to share their culture and traditions with our class and it has been a treat for everyone! We thank you so much for allowing us this gift.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Jordan

  • Arkansas Kids Can Succeed!

    Funded Aug 27, 2019

    Thank you so much for your support of my students. These items have made the classroom a better place! The students are loving the balls as flexible seating. We use them in library center and they all want one! These balls provide them a unique place to sit and read. We are also loving using our boogie boards in small group instruction. Students are able to practice letter formation, without the mess of markers and white boards. They are amazed that the letters just disappear with the click of a button! Thank you so much for supporting us!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Jordan

Reading seems like an easy skill, right? In reality, it is rocket science! Our state has unrolled a literacy initiative to bridge the reading gap in Arkansas. Many of these tools will be used in the explicit instruction of reading foundational skills. Students will use toobaloos as they independently browse through books in their browsing box, which is filled with books and resources. The toobaloo helps students hear themselves as they read and articulate. They will do this daily during the school year. As they progress, more books will be added to their browsing box. Another literacy tool that will be used in small group instruction are the LCD electronic writing tablets. These tablets allow students to practice letter recognition, paths of motion, writing, and decoding. They are simple to use and require no markers, erasers, or mess. My small groups will also use playdoh in literacy instruction. Students use the playdoh to create letters and words. It allows students to have a tactile learning experience. Last, I love for my students to be comfortable in my classroom. I have a small variety of flexible seating in my classroom. I would love to use the donut balls as an additional option for flexible seating. I can picture my students curling up in the donut ball and reading a book.
