Learning to Read in 5th Grade
Funded Dec 31, 2018
It has been an amazing fall at Arlington Middle School! My small group students have been working hard in the resource room and have made some great progress working with the supplies that we have.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude and overjoyed to return from winter break with the exciting news that our project has been funded!
I am so excited to get down to some serious learning (and fun!) this winter.
The impact that your donation will make in my students’ learning and futures - academically and beyond - is tremendous. It will provide many students with the opportunity for a high quality targeted reading intervention that they likely would not have had the opportunity to experience - not only this year, but at any point in their academic careers.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Wishing you a happy 2019 any beyond.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Edward

I am the school fifth special education teacher for 30 students. I service each of these students in both ELA and Mathematics. Each of my wonderful, kind, and inquisitive 10- and 11-year old students has a very different learning profile, however there is also a hefty list of commonalities among my students: *All of my students are reading at least 2 grades below grade level. *English is a second language for all of my students. *None of my students have reasonable access to a library to view and borrow books. *None of my students have access to an individualized digital reading program to help them make independent progress at home and at school. *80% of my students do not have an English speaking parent at home to help them practice reading and writing in English. The resources that I have requested will assist my children in learning to read and approach grade level mathematical content in ways that are fun, engaging, and most importantly foster INDEPENDENCE. *An iPad and Osmo system will be a critical learning tool in both small group instruction and for individual students that need constructive 'brain breaks' in an inclusive classroom setting. *2 CD players will help students practice reading along at home where other resources are not available. *Online learning licensing provide my students with additional opportunities to learn - at their own pace in our school computer lab several days a week. *Engaging brain break games will foster teamwork and a love for learning and thinking about learning during small group resource instruction.
