  • Can You Hear Me Now?

    Funded Dec 28, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating to my project! The headphones that were donated have helped increase the functionality of my classroom so much. Students now have color coded headphones for independent reading stations. They work on all student/classroom computers and are of great quality.

    Now that all students have access to headphones, I have been able to assign fun and interactive learning videos and assignments. It has also helped with increasing student focus, while decreasing classroom volume.

    By having a class set of headphones, it has helped to close a once potential learning barrier. My class is now more equitable and students are ready to learn.

    Thanks again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Barham

  • Color Me Timbers!

    Funded Aug 4, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating to "Color Me Timbers". I am now able to print out and laminate anchor charts, student work, handouts, and classroom themed activities in color! The students love it and it makes the room look amazing. Most recently, we created fiction book reports and were able to print them out for the school to see! The students were so proud of their work, especially since it got to be in color.

    Thanks again for the printer, ink, laminator, and laminating sheets! Your support is greatly appreciated!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Barham

  • Between the Pages of a Great Summer Book!

    Funded Jun 11, 2020

    Thank you so much for donating books for my students to read. It was greatly appreciated. The students could not wait to read the books that were selected. These books were added into our novel study rotation.

    Novel study is a guided reading focus that my students LOVE! During guided reading, students are given chapter books to read independently or with classmates. While reading, students are focused on specific skills. The skills include main idea, conflict/resolution, cause/effect, etc.

    Due to your generous gift, students were able to continue learning in a fun way!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Barham

  • A Comfy Nook to Read a Book!

    Funded Aug 28, 2019

    Thank you so much for donating to "A Comfy Nook to Read a Book"! It was greatly appreciated by each and every one of my students. The materials blended in nicely with the classroom carpet and decor. When the boxes got delivered with the materials, the students were so thrilled. They immediately put the cushions and chairs to use during their independent reading time. The magazine rack and book bins have greatly helped with our book organization.

    The new reading nook has been such a great addition to the classroom. Students loved it so much that I decided to add it as a station to work at during guided reading rotations. Students are now able to use the materials while they are buddy reading or doing their independent reading work. It's so rewarding to see students gravitate to the reading nook to dive into a book.

    The students have been very great with cherishing and keeping the materials safe. There are "reading nook helpers" each week. They are responsible for making sure that the materials are placed back in their spots at the end of each day. Again, thank you so much for donating to my student's success and providing them a comfy nook to read a book.”

    Ms. Barham

My students absolutely LOVE to read! I also LOVE to read with them! I am requesting items that will help create a more comfortable reading nook for my students! Currently, they are limited to their desks and the classroom carpet during reading time. The items in my cart will allow my students to have more flexible seating options while they are reading. I want to break the chain of students being limited in where they have to sit! By having flexible seating opportunities, the children will not only be able to sit in a seat of their choice, but they will also be comfortable while doing so.
