Now That Story Works!
Funded Dec 26, 2018Thank you so much for our Scholastic "StoryWorks" magazines! As you can see in the photos we are so excited to have received our first month's subscription! This magazine is filled with wonderful fiction and nonfiction stories! It even comes with a teacher's guide and an online subscription to help us utilize this resource to the best of our abilities! These magazines get students who aren't use to reading different genres the chance to sample different genres and learn to love all types of reading! This month's magazine focus on theme and the main character. We can also include in Science and Social Studies with the nonfiction!
My classroom has a lot of guided reading and independent reading that these magazines are perfect for! We also teach in small groups and this resource is absolutely perfect for them to have their own copy.
When my students saw the new magazines come in they were so excited! When they opened them they immediately wanted to begin reading and wondering when they could start doing the activities!
Thank you so much for your generous donation. Please know that you are helping teachers like me introduce the love of reading to so many children and I cannot thank you enough.”

Bringing Virtual Experiences to My Classroom
Funded Jun 4, 2018Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom for our Virtual Reality glasses. A lot of my students have never been to the beach, even though its less than three hours away! This technology has taken my students in just the few weeks that I have had them to the Blue Ridge Mountains where they got to be on the top! They have been to the beautiful waterfalls in the Piedmont and have seen waves crash over them by the beaches of Hilton Head in the coastal zone. We have hundreds of experiences already loaded up for our students to experience. My students are thrilled every time they get to experience a new place!
My students love the fact that what they are learning in the classroom is coming to life right in front of them! They get to see what it feels like to be a part of the mountains with the beautiful fall leaves and how the rivers are quickly flowing coming down from the elevation at the top of our state. They think we are the coolest class because we have virtual reality glasses!
All of my students are receiving better scores on their test because they are now getting to experience the regions and environments that we have been studying. My students are always jumping at the chance to use them and I am forever grateful that you chose my class for your generous donation. You have reached over hundreds of children in our small town with your thoughtfulness!”
