  • Ready to Learn!

    Funded May 9, 2024

    Your donation has made it possible for my students to increase their independent organizational skills. Your donation will provide them with the independence and space they need to keep track and easily access essential materials like slates, pencil packs, makers, scissors, etc throughout the day so they make shorter transitions and are prepared to learn. This organization also alleviates any anxiety students have about loosing materials they may need in a moments notice.

  • Materials for Successful Learners!

    Funded May 15, 2023

    Thanks to your generous contribution, your donation has made it possible for me to meet the needs of all my students while providing them with individual learning opportunities and various opportunities to demonstrate learning to maximize learning experiences. When students have the materials they need easily accessible, it helps them to be organized and gives them the ability to focus on learning. Having folders and pouches to keep and organize unfinished work and decodable books, enables students to access learning quickly.

    In my inclusion classroom, many students struggle with learning and having the ability to access materials like expo markers. Having expo markers for work done on enlarged graphic organizers is a must for their success. Other essentials like crayons, scissors, markers, colored pencils, and erasers make STEM activities and our morning social groups possible. Your donation made it possible to level the playing field so that every student has the opportunity to begin the new school year with all the materials they will need to have a successful learning year.”

  • Back to School Basics II

    Funded Aug 17, 2021

    Thanks to your generous contribution, your donation has made it possible for me to meet the needs of all my students while providing them with individual learning opportunities and various opportunities to demonstrate learning to maximize learning experiences. Our new binders have enabled students to establish life-long organization skills and provide quick access to materials needed for our new ELA program. When students are not searching for materials they need, this increases time on learning. The construction paper has sparked creativity in our morning bins, and the handwriting paper and pencils help develop a love for writing, the skills needed for writing, and fine motor skills simultaneously. These materials have helped students become the best learners they can be! Thanks to Donors Choose and wonderful contributors like yourself, who helped to support my classroom, I am able to provide my students with the ability to foster a love of school and empower them with the creativity and organizational skills that will last a lifetime.”

  • Sharp Points for Sharp Pupils

    Funded Jul 23, 2021

    Thanks to your generous contribution, your donation has made it possible for my students to increase their independent creative writing skills. I cannot express how grateful I am that my students are being empowered to foster a love of writing. At this age, students are naturally curious and willing to take a risk with their learning and the funding of this project has provided that opportunity. My students now have the opportunity to share ideas with others and record their ideas for themselves. The writing tools your contribution provided are very important to them; the perfect point on a pencil can allow for a better presentation of their work. The pencil sharpener has allowed the students to return to their work without delay. Thanks to Donor's Choose and wonderful contributors like yourself, that helped to support my classroom, I am able to provide my students with the ability to foster a love of writing and execute this skill flawlessly, providing the best educational experience possible.”

  • Organize and Thrive!

    Funded Aug 6, 2020

    This fall, we returned to school with new health and safety measures in place. Thanks to your generous contribution, we have been able to provide students with a healthy work environment and ensure that they are engaging in safe learning practices. Your donation has made it possible for students to increase their independent organizational skills. Each student has their own pocket organizer on the back of their chair. This pocket organizer contains folders and other materials needed to keep work organized and accessible. In addition, each student has been provided with their own morning work bin. These bins contain items like playdough, writing practice, shapes for spatial work, etc. These crucial items allow students to practice and develop key gross/fine motor and spatial reasoning skills, that they are unable to practice in our shortened day. Each student is provided with their own bin and materials, allowing for safe learning practices to be kept in place.

Having ready access to technology in the classroom has provided my students with hands on learning for children has proven to be engaging and highly effective. Students who do not have access to technology at home or require additional skill practice, have been able to work with parent volunteers on a weekly basis using the Chromebooks to increase their math fact fluency.

    By bringing our technology into the classroom learning has come to life! My students have been able to access Goggle Classroom during small groups. Using Goggle classroom, they have worked in pairs exploring science and learning about the pumpkin life cycle. This power-point presentation ended with an interactive click and drag activity where students were required to apply what they had learned. This has been an exciting journey into next generation learning. My students have also been able to use the Chromebooks to access programs like EPIC reading during small group reading instruction. This has been an engaging way for my struggling readers to increase their reading fluency.
