Cozy Carpet!
Funded Jul 5, 2022Thank you so much for funding my project. I know my future second graders next year will really appreciate a comfortable place to sit, spread out, and enjoy their classroom without the restrictions we experienced this school year. This rug will be something my students use all day, every day! We truly appreciate your kindness and generosity. I can’t wait for the kids to see it this September.”
With gratitude,

Funded Jul 25, 2018Thank you so much for all of the reading materials you contributed to our classroom. I had the opportunity to use these materials throughout summer school and with my current second graders. When the students first saw the materials, they were excited to get started.
The magnetic letters have been a fun way for my students to practice building and spelling sight words as well as practicing various phonic skills. The dry erase sleeves added some color to our classroom on my "Wow Work" wall. Student work is displayed there when they have given best effort. The magnetic whiteboards have also been a huge hit. Students quiz each other on their spelling words and they are also able to use these in conjunction with our magnetic letters. The fluency sand timers have been an amazing tool for students to practice their reading speed independently.
The impact has been greater than I can explain. With many of my students being English language learners, having materials such as these provide an engaging way for students to improve their reading skills. The materials have allowed me to create various independent stations for my students to practice phonics, fluency, sight words, and so much more. I have already seen growth in their reading.
Since our reading is well underway, our project will likely involve math related materials or a class set of headphones for out 1-1 computers.
Thank you, again.”
