  • Exciting Center Time

    Funded Dec 30, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom and kindergarten students! I received and assembled my easel earlier this week and it has already been such an amazing part of my daily instruction. The students were so excited to see it when they entered the classroom for the day and couldn't wait for their turn to write on it. This easel is on wheels and so easy to transition from whole group time to small group time. We have used it as we learn to read, sound out words, learn addition and so much more. Again, I appreciate your kindness more than you know.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Mounce

  • A Spot for Everyone!

    Funded Jan 14, 2020

    First of all, THANK YOU! Thank you so much for your full donation of our new classroom rug. The day it was delivered, my 24 kindergarten students were thrilled! They could not wait to sit on the nice, new rug. Several of them went home and told their families all about it and a few parents told me how excited their child was.

    In kindergarten, having a rug is such an important part of our day. We do literacy and math centers each day. During center time, students have puzzles, games, books, and other activities in which they sit on the rug to complete independently. We also have literacy and math whole group time every day. This is the part of our day when we read books aloud, have number talks, and so much more. During this time, all of the students sit on the rug. I've been teaching kindergarten for 9 years now and I just recently had a baby of my own. As a parent, I know I would want my child having a clean place to sit and learn each day.

    The impact you have made on my students with your gift is a great one. We appreciate you more than you know. It is amazing to me that someone we have never met was so willing and has such a giving heart toward 24 kindergarten students. People like you make public education successful.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Mounce

Reading development is fundamental to a child's success in school. Instilling a solid foundation with phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension and fluency is my top priority in my classroom. I believe that all children can learn to read and it is up to the teacher to help make it fun and interesting! The first 3 hours of each day is spent focusing on literacy. Students participate in whole group time in which they have the opportunity for song and dance, learning games on our interactive white board, reading big books, and lots of other fun activities. Then we move to small group instruction in which students participate in learning with the teacher, learning with the kindergarten assistant, technology centers, and independent activities. I would love to use these books to allow my students a new way to show off their reading skills. I want to begin a "Book Bag" program where students will take home books each week, read to their family and fill out a reading log. This allows families to be aware of their child's progress as well as building the child's reading confidence.
