    First, thank you for your generous donation to our classroom community. It's donations like yours that have the greatest impact on student learning. Your donations provides teachers with tools that are many times not available to classrooms.

  • Code It and It Will Move

    Funded Nov 2, 2023

    Good morning and Happy New Year. Thank you for donating to our classroom community to make this project a reality. You really made a difference!

    Your generous donation helped to bring our coding program to life. Using microrobots, coders can add their codes to the bots and see the results of their coding. This led students to create more creative codes for their bots.

    Students compete with one and other to see which bots can do the coolest things. Wow! So again thank you for your donations.”

  • Let Them Print!

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donation "Let Them Print." Your donation allowed me to purchase a printer for our classroom community. We are using the printer for completing classroom magazines. When my students saw that the work they produced could be presented in magazine form, they flipped out!

    So using the printer and printing on 11x17 paper in landscape format, we are able to produce student magazines. Wow, they look great and students are able to pass out copies to their classmates.

    So once again, thank you for your generous donation.”

  • More Seating Choices!

    Funded Nov 23, 2022

    Your donation has impacted my classroom in such a positive way. With more seating choices more students are able to enjoy flexible seating. When they are reading during choice reading being comfortable and cozy makes them enjoy reading more.

    Now nearly half of my class has more flexible seating choice. There are a total of 14 choices in flexible seating choices available.

    Because flexible seating is so expensive your generous donation gets my classroom closer too our goal of 1 to 1 flexible seating.

    Once again, thank you for your generous donation.”

  • Let's Get Organized

    Funded Nov 3, 2022

    Your donation will help my students organize their various reading resources. With so many notes and assignments having those items all in one binder will help. For example, I three hole punch the notes on figurative language, and my students simply place them in their binders. When they need the notes they simply go to their binder.

    Additionally, students will be able to store completed assignments in their binder for future reference. Parents can use the binders to find classroom notes to help their child study and understand what we are doing in class.

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. You made a huge difference.”

  • More Classroom Learning Opportunities

    Funded Nov 1, 2022

    Your generous donation to our classroom community has had a huge impact. By being able to provide more resources for learning I am able to differentiate instruction to meet students "right where they are" within a particular skill or concept. That is huge!

    My students are excited because now they have more choices when it comes to assignments. Instead of everyone doing the same assignment there might be two or three different assignments, but all working on the same skill.

    Once again thank you for your generous donation.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Johnson

Research has suggested that independent reading can not only make a difference in student academic performance but can also promote a greater connection to their community. But beyond research, reading is fun! Reading can put students in the middle of an adventure. Reading can help them explore the universe. Maybe they become a superhero saving the world from an evil villain. Reading can help students make new friends as they put themselves in the story. Reading allows students to go different journeys around the world. Reading promotes imagination! Reading promotes connections! Reading makes a big world smaller! Reading changes minds! Knowing all of this, we need these Guided Reading Collections.
