  • "Growing Readers: Sparking a Love for Literacy in Early Learners"

    Funded Sep 16, 2024

    This year I welcomed about 40 English Language Learners between grades kindergarten through second grade. Your donations were a much needed addition to my classroom library. The students squealed with excitement when they saw all their favorite characters and books in my class library. They could not believe that strangers would buy them new books they specifically have requested from me. They are truly grateful.

    My non readers to early readers like to cozy up in the bean bags with their favorite book and read with enjoyment. We often start our mornings with breakfast and a read aloud, eliciting genuine conversation and book talk. Their language skills have developed so much already.

    We have been able to use the books to discuss story elements, practice identifying rhyming words, retelling a story and even learn the steps to wash our hands as a mentor text to our how to writing unit. Students of all levels were able to access and understand the curriculum better because of your contribution. We are so thankful.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Atallah

  • “Rhyme and Shine: Building Literacy, One Verse at a Time!”

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Thanks to your donation, I was able to make my classroom a place where students look forward coming to. This year, I welcomed 40 English Language Learners between kindergarten through second grade. They exude excitement and eagerness to try everything! My students have grown so much thanks to your donation. Their scores in phonemic awareness are at grade level or above thanks to your generosity.

    All the rhyming cards and games give the very difficult skill some context and engage students in a way that is motivating to them. The whole first grade class was able to benefit from our prepositions and rhymes activity box. We learned how to use more descriptive language in our speaking and writing. We couldn't be as successful without you.”

    With gratitude,

  • Multilingual Library

    Funded Sep 23, 2021

    My students were thrilled when they saw the new addition to our classroom library. They were quick to chatter about books in their home language and seeing other languages. They are so intrigued to see new and familiar characters. I have been able to use these books with newcomers so that I could read to them and they could read to me in their first language. It made talking about theme with a non-English speaking student possible. With the generosity of others, I have been able to build a culture of mutual respect and understanding with my students. We share a love of books and reading, in school and at home. It's a small bridge to connect home and school, and we are so thankful.”

    With gratitude,

We have seen throughout this pandemic how reliant we have all become with technology, as well as frustrated with little children using them for extended periods of time. I want to give my students the gift of holding a book. It means everything to me to be able to create an inclusive environment for my students and that begins with recognizing their identities, including language and culture. It is so important that kids can see themselves represented in their world and encouraged. There is no easy accessible library for kids who speak languages other than English and we know how important home literacy is. A multilingual library is a great resource for kids but an even more integral part of building a home and school connection to support students and families. A school and classroom is a child's first line of support. I want to be that support for my students and for teachers in my school who also lack resources, but, want to provide support. When we support home languages, student's home life and school connection, we build a community that grows and learns together. A small gesture of sharing a book develops into greater successes in life. This is my first DonorsChoose project and I can't think of anything more important or pressing than this. The best part is all students can enjoy them as they are in English as well!
