Past projects 5

  • E.L.D. - Math - Geography - History

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting our class this year! You’re helping to give us materials that will enable us to more quickly learn English, to internalize our math fact families, to locate different countries on a map, to think about history around the world, among other skills that are too often deprioritized in order to prioritize standardized testing in reading (ironically these deprioritized skills and bodies of knowledge increase reading comprehension). Thank you for making sure kids can get a well-rounded education!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cortes

  • Create Positive Associations With Reading!

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting our class this year! I’m excited to teach at my first OUSD school, with an excellent leadership team. That said, there are less funding resources at this school, and the classroom I inherited was quite dilapidated. You’re helping to give me and my students the school basics that most kids get and all kids deserve: a comfortable place to sit and read, morning meeting in a circle not a desk, ways to self-regulate emotions. We appreciate you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Cortes

  • Social & Emotional Learning & Literacy

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting our class this year! You’re helping to give us resources to practice reading skills while simultaneously learning how to self regulate, how to approach challenging situations, how to treat others and ourselves — the most crucial skills for their future success in whatever career they choose.”

  • Delight in Books Is for All Kids at All Levels!

    Funded May 19, 2022

    You did it! Thank you so much for your generous donations to our class library. The books you’ve given us will allow students to read complex texts about various subjects and at varying lexile levels. Additionally, they will be able to carry their book beyond the classroom safely, ensuring students will find delight in books for years to come. We can’t wait to crack open the books!”

  • Literacy Through Black & Brown Joy!

    Funded Feb 28, 2022

    Thank you so much for infusing joyful Black and Brown literature into my kids’ daily lives. They are working incredibly hard to regain the reading growth lost in the pandemic. Opening these books will spark the joy they deserve to feel when reading, instead of the monotony of cheap, poorly written, trade books with stories they do not connect with. Thank you thank you!”
