Boosting Math Concepts
Funded Nov 11, 2021Thank you for your generous contributions towards the purchased of the Versa Tiles Classroom Math Kit. It was very helpful in increasing their knowledge of the various skills included in the kit. When I first told them we were getting it, they were so excited and couldn't wait for its arrival. Once it arrived and I showed them all of the booklets of the varied math concepts , they wanted to try it out right away. So we got started.
The kits were used for differentiated Instruction during small math groups. They were able to use the booklets to complete skills which they had struggled with during whole group instruction.
As my students continue to work through the current year's curriculum, the Versa Tiles will be both an added and needed addition for enhancing their knowledge and understanding of all concepts presented to them. They are very greatly for the kit and so am I, so thank you once again.”

This classroom project was brought to life by hand2mind and one other donor.Inquisitive Readers
Funded Aug 10, 2021These reading books have turn my first graders into lovers of books. The day the books were delivered, there was a buzz of excitement in my classroom. They were so curious as to what kind of books were in the boxes. As I opened them, the room was in total silent as eyes watched my every move. Once I took the books out of the boxes and started reading the titles, the look on their faces said it all. I allowed the students to picked their books and then it all started.
My students would read their books and then shared them with each other. As I walked around the room, I heard many exciting conversations about the books, likes/dislikes, what was happening in the books and how they are enjoying reading. Then they started taking the AR test on many of the books and passing those test. They were proud and I was even prouder of them for their enjoyment of reading.
These books have truly changed my students lives. My once non-readers are now reading so much better and my readers have gained so much more speed and fluency. Your thoughtfulness of your donations has been rewarding to us. It has increases their love and joy of reading. Thank you once again. We truly appreciates your kindness.”
