  • Flexible Seating, Cozy Reading

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    This is just a small expression of my gratitude for your more than generous donation of bean bags and books to my classroom. The students all love the bean bags and race to sit in them during independent reading or writing time. They love the flexibility of where to sit and they are extremely comfortable.

    The new selection of books really stirred up excitement around reading. All of my students love graphic novels and the books help instill a love of reading in them. Also, one of the series was about cats-which really was special for my students who love cats. It opened up some awesome community building discussions in the room.

    Our school is located in one of the poorest districts in the nation, so we depend on the generosity of donors. Our generous donors are the backbone of our school and I just wanted you to know how much my students appreciate your generosity. These resources allow my students to open up and feel comfortable in our school ultimately allowing them to be successful.

    Without your generosity thousands of students would be missing out on being lifelong learners.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. V

  • Preparing Students for Learning in Person and Remotely

    Funded Sep 9, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generosity. My class, as well as myself, really appreciate you supporting us as we begin a most unusual school year. It will take a special kind of courage to get through this year for my students and these supplies will bring lots of joy to my students. Our classroom is a better place because of your awesome contribution.”

  • Reading and Writing Workshop Center With Heart!

    Funded Dec 16, 2019

    Thank you so much for your incredible generosity. I am so excited to share everything with my students. These materials and furniture will go a long way in helping them to realize their reading and writing goals, and to turn our classroom into a safe place filled with learning and compassion. Thank you for this most wonderful gift.”

The requested materials are essential to the student's full participation in the reading and writing workshop program my school uses to teach ELA. Students keep track of their work using LOTS of Post It Notes! Post It note tracking systems are great for students with poor working memory to help guide them through more complex texts that they are expected to read in middle school. The special pens make it easier to write and do not smudge. These materials help the students access more complicated texts by helping them comprehend strategies to become better readers and writers. The students are also more engaged with the reading when they can jot down their ideas as they go. Later, these jots can easily be moved into their notebooks. The intimate teaching in a centralized, comfortable location is essential when teaching skills to help students grow as readers and writers. Bean bag chairs and rugs serve as a focal point of the meeting area where the most important teaching takes place. The chairs and rugs also serve as cozy places the students can go to while doing their independent reading. In reading and writing workshop our lessons begin everyday with a mini lesson. The meeting area serves as a place to teach skill specific strategies to help students become better readers and writers. Most of my students are below grade level proficiency. After the mini lesson, the seating area can then be used by students to read their books. The choice of where to read and not to be confined to classroom desks, allows students to gain more independence over their own reading life. They also feel special and enjoy reading more when they are not told where and how to sit.
