• Creating Creative Thinkers!

  Funded Sep 11, 2022

  Once again, thank you for your generous support. Funding this project made teaching and learning more engaging and fun! It allowed us to ditch worksheets and use some of the material to stretch our thinking and also take a brain break from typical learning.

  We used these resources in numerous ways. One way is morning soft starts. This got the scholars going early in the morning, set a learning environment and also motivated them to come to school. We also used them during cold and rain day recess and to play games during test prep season.

  When the students first saw the material, they were excited. They were even more excited when we attached the games to learning. The games motivated behavior because they knew, a good behavior day was more than likely to result in learning games.”

• Virtual Resources

  Funded Sep 6, 2020

  The resources you contributed impacted my class in an amazing way. The school year was stressful and full of anxiety. Those resources eased some of the tension and allowed me to be able to have great virtual resources to teach my scholars. It provided me with more time to teach instead of worrying about trying to find resources to fit our learning environment. My scholars loved them. It kept them engaged and excited to learn. The great part was, once we returned from virtual learning, I was still able to use those resources for student engagement and quality instruction. We are forever thankful for you kind and generous donation.”

• Oh the Places We Will Go via our Classroom Library!

  Funded May 30, 2019

  Once again I would like to Thank You for your generosity. The kids were excited when I opened the box. Many started reading as soon as I allowed them. This made me excited because one of my goals this year is to foster the love of reading in my students.

  The books will go into our classroom library. Our scholars will have the opportunity to check out a book whenever they would like and they will also be able to use them as early finisher assignments. Our first class project concerning the books will be used as a read aloud. I will be blocking out 15 minutes a day to read aloud to them. We will also have class discussion concerning the chapter(s) we have read for that day. This will help increase their vocabulary, comprehension and speaking and listening skills.

  There are a couple of students that are reading above grade level. Since we have a variety of genres and leveled books, my entire class will be able to enjoy this gift. The books will definitely impact my class this year and for years to come. Thank You!”
