This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose 20th Anniversary Fund and 3 other donors.Working Word Wall
Funded Oct 11, 2019I can't thank you enough for the bulletin board to make it possible to create a working word wall! My students have been able to use the word wall to answer text-dependent questions, create stories about their challenges in learning while connecting their stories to our curriculum, Expeditionary Learning. As well as being able to increase their word knowledge and spelling! My students are ELLs (English Language Learners) and having a place where I can post the many words that they are just discovering is truly a blessing. Unfortunately our year got cut short in the classroom and using our word wall. We were quickly uprooted and with that respect I apologize to my donors that did not receive their thank you package for this project. My students and I truly appreciate your generosity.”

Ready to Read!
Funded Aug 13, 2019By receiving these books my students were able to form reciprocal teaching. My students were engaged in their reading. With this they have been able practicing how to make predictions and then using the text to support their predictions. They have also been enjoying these books because they are books they haven't already read!
It has been a joy to see how they are enjoying reading and using the text to apply the reading skills they are learning. As well as their discussions! They are having peer to peer discussions where they are helping others! Thank you so much!!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and one other donor.Come to the Discussion!
Funded Mar 1, 2019Receiving the funding for the floor seats has made my students more enthusiastic to come to the carpet with a group of their classmates. They are collaborating more when they are writing and having meaningful discussions. When my students are asked to have a discussion about lesson topics and objectives many of my students ask to work on the carpet with the carpet seats. They find it to be a place where they can connect on a peer to peer level and makes the classroom environment more welcoming. We, are unfortunately not receiving our subscription of Times for kids until the next school year. But I know that those will impact my next year students in a way that will open their eyes. So thank you again to all of you amazing and gracious donors!”

Can You Hear Me Now!
Funded Jan 24, 2019I wanted to take the time to thank you for your generous donations so my students could receive headphones. These headphones have really assisted my students. My students have been using them to assist them in extra math support and reading strategies on ixl; ixl is a great place for support in skills such as finding the main idea and beginning reading. One of my students is new to our country and having headphones for her to begin to read and understand letters and words in the English Language has been very helpful. I also have students who are working on reading and using these headphones on Myon is a great way for my students to hear fluency and help with their reading as well. These have also been used to do research on the planets in our solar system. My students have learned so much due to your generosity! We can't thank you enough!”
