Reading Success in a 3rd Grade Classroom
Funded Dec 14, 2022My students are loving the resources you donated to our classroom! During tests, they can better concentrate due to the new privacy boards. They are better organized with the addition of book baskets to place their daily supplies in. We have also gotten great use from the reading comprehension kits, and have been able to grow our skills with these new resources.
The timers have made the biggest impact on students. I have several students that have trouble focusing to get work completed. Using a timer in order to set a goal for finishing assignments has motivated them and created a structure for success. For this, I am truly thankful!
I sincerely appreciate your generosity!”
With gratitude,

Funded Jul 21, 2021The books you donated to our classroom are fabulous and are being used for shared reading instruction. The books are read aloud to the class multiple times during a week to improve comprehension. Each week there is a reading skill in addition to comprehension such as summarizing, identifying the problem/solution, identifying the lesson of the story, and learning about the author's craft. These are just the beginning of reading skills addressed with these books.
In addition to reading skills, these books also give a jumping-off point for learning grammar skills from parts of speech to writing a narrative story. We have already covered many skills since the beginning of the school year!
The great thing about the Rooted in Reading program is that the literature picks are excellent quality and are usually new to most students. The books aren't ones students have read a hundred times, which is nice!
My students and I can't thank you enough for your tremendous generosity.”

Clean Air Classroom
Funded Jul 25, 2020The air purifiers have really made a difference in our classroom. They are quiet and seem to be doing a nice job of cleaning the air. Using these machines, in addition to hand hygiene seems to be working for us thus far. Parents are pleased and other teachers and custodial staff have noticed a difference in our room. Thanks to your generosity, we have been a healthy class of second graders! Learning in new ways due to COVID-19 guidelines has been tough, but I am confident our classroom environment is safer because of your donation.”
