Funded Nov 24, 2024Thank you for your generosity and support. Thank you for paving a fun and safe way for my students to pursue their learning with the max potentials. YOU are the ones who create learning opportunities for my students to enjoy learning at their pace. YOU are the ones who strengthen their self-esteem and reinforcing positive learning enthusiasm. YOU are the ones who support their decision/choice makings by offering them those amazing flexible seatings.
My students conduct more productively when they are given choices in accessing the resources. That's why your support matters.

It enhances the motivation and engagement of the students.

These games help to build up their confidence in learning, especially for the students who have low muscle tones. They got the opportunities to practice grabbing, holding, tracing and aiming. My kindergarteners' favorite games are Alphabet Learning Locks, Alphabet Bingo and Catch a Letter. When I provided small groups or one-to-one instruction, Magnetic Sound Sorting boards helped students to visualize the words. In addition, it helped my students utilize the concepts of beginning, ending and rhyming sounds. These multi-sensory activities are essential to build up their schema in learning.

Funded May 8, 2021Thank you for your generosity and supporting my class with those fantastic books. You delight their days with these interactive books. They fell in love with reading again. They were so excited and couldn't wait to explore. They were so excited when I showed them the pictures of the books. Thank you for providing a variety of books to enrich our library.
2020-2021 was a very special school year due to the pandemic. All my students chose to learn remotely from home. I used those materials as my supplemental support when we met live. I also used those materials when I worked with small groups to enhance their reading skills, such as sight word learning, reading strategies, reading fluency and reading comprehension as well.
The Piggie and Elephants series were my students' favorite books. We sounded out the words. We read with our fluency and intonation. Our favorite activity was role-play: sounding and acting like the characters. Even we shared our learning from the books. I was so touched how my students extended the storyline with their own imaginations and told the story through their own voice.
Once again, thank you so much for your support and generosity. Thank you for helping my students with special needs with these amazing materials. Thank you for brightening up their interests in books. We LOVE to READ. We read to LEARN!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Google.org and 12 other donors.Students' Feelings are Essential.
Funded Sep 1, 2020Thank you so much for your generosity. Thank you for your support on my students' inner world. When Covid-19 hit us in 2020, students' learning practices change dramatically. As one of the educators, I eager to show my support not only on their academic needs, also their needs on the inner world, their emotion, their surrounding climates and their needs.
The materials I requested in my order played significant role in supporting their feelings. I did read aloud by using those feeling books daily. I checked with my students' feeling all the time. "How do you feel today" was the biggest sharing during our morning meeting routines. During read aloud, my students were so engaged in those books, they could see themselves express the same feeling while read along with me. They were so excited when their feeling had been heard. I was more than happy when they were able to express themselves with their unique voices.
My students are good at drawing, the rainbow scratch paper brought so much joy to all of them. They enjoyed drawing their feeling. They used the rainbow scratch paper to tell me the stories around them. I am so proud to see how they chose their way to express themselves. Some of them might like to share through speaking. Some of them rather to draw to show their comfortabilities.
Students' feeling is essential, especially during this tough period of time. I really appreciate what you did for my students. Once again, thank you so much for your support and generosity. Be strong, we will go through everything together!”
