A Colorful Library
Funded Jun 15, 2020Thank you so much for your partnership! Because of you, these kids are getting A Colorful Library full of diverse authors and voices rich in culture and beauty. I am thrilled and grateful for your generosity to support this classroom and these children! These books will reach 22 kids next year. Amazing. Again, your partnership helped make this possible.”

Mrs. Warwick's Reading Nook
Funded May 15, 2019The impact you made on these kids extends beyond financial support - you've helped establish a classroom environment that they are thrilled to learn in. The generosity shown has gifted students a safe area to journey to other worlds, value stories, and increase their opportunity for reading growth and appreciation. I have watched them become protective of their reading time and treat this book nook with so much care!
When students first step into the classroom, the Book Nook is the first thing they see. They are enamored by the space and have had multiple positive and encouraging comments. Some students have said, "The Book Nook is our favorite place" and "It's so nice to have a place to read that also looks pretty." We spend about 20 minutes a day intentionally silent reading. When we aren't reading, students use the space to complete partner tasks or complete reading centers (extra reading practice on a smaller scale).
My plan to move forward has already started. I've partnered with friends and family to sponsor students with a free book each month. They get to consistently enjoy reading and now have a protected space that encourages the value of books. Our most recent lesson is focused on explicit and inferred questions, and it has been great to see their intentional reading time correspond to their grasp of applying schema to their inferences.
It's been a great year thus far and I am thrilled you partnered with me to make this dream a reality.”
