Nature Explorers
Funded Aug 10, 2022It's coming on the end of our fall semester and our children have had such an enriching time with our fall garden! Your generosity has made this possible and we can't thank you enough. Being able to integrate a physical interaction with seeds, soil, water, time, and season change with what we are learning in the classroom creates important pathways in a child's mind.
In the Spring the water table will be integral to our work cycle as we study the movement of water, clean the vegetables we harvest from the garden, and study the concept of sink/float to study how nature interacts with water.
Inside the classroom the students have enjoyed investigating and manipulating the shells and fossils. You made this possible!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and 12 other donors.Get Ready, Get Set, and Go Have Fun
Funded Feb 12, 2022Thank you so much for your donations! My students were excited beyond words to get new works. The youngest children have used the lock and key sets to gain a better understanding of phonics as each lock has a picture with a matching letter sound on a key. The older students are working on CVC words with letter matching and missing sounds. my beginning readers have started consonant blend sorting activities which has allowed them to read so many more words. I have already seen such growth in their understand of basic reading.”

Play is Our Work
Funded Dec 16, 2018My students and I are so grateful to you for your donation to our class. We have been using the animals of the continents to increase vocabulary and develop a sense of the world, the rhyming cards and sandpaper letters to build phonemic awareness and phonics skills, the pattern cubes and red and blue rods to develop patterns and number sense, and the sandpaper globe to increase knowledge of geography. The children love using these works and teaching what they've learned to the younger students.”
