  • Complete Classroom Novel Set Allow Creativity in Projects

    Funded Aug 25, 2019

    My classes and I really appreciate the donations received. I am able to bring more creativity and color into the classroom with the art supplies. Students, even in high school, really enjoy seeing their work up on the wall and can get inspired through other classmates work. My special education classes are now able to read along with the books that were donated and can hear them read aloud on Audible through the new speaker. Many of my students would not have been able to enjoy or understand the complexities in books like Jurassic Park or The Secret Life of Bees, if they were not provided this accommodation. I have some students with high comprehension skills, but lack in the fundamental fluency skills which can impede their overall ability to understand what they have read. Hearing the story read to them while they are following along will provide them with practice in reading, hearing proper fluent reading, and the enjoyment of really being able to get into a good book. Thank you for helping to provide that for my students. The items received that help to keep my students and myself healthy in the classroom are also greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to care about a group of students who can use a little extra support, and a new teacher who can use support as well.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Sillito

    This classroom project was brought to life by Neukom Family Foundation and 4 other donors.
My budget only allowed for ten of each of the novels, The Secret Life of Bees, and Jurassic Park. I need an extra five novels each in order to make a complete classroom set. I pay for Audible every year to allow my slow readers a chance to hear the book as it was meant to be read. They read along to get practice reading, and are still able to understand and keep up with what is going on. Unfortunately, I have to play the Audible version through my overhead speaker which is fuzzy and hard to hear correctly. I do not have speakers attached to my computer, which is why the bluetooth speaker would be incredibly helpful. My students deserve creative freedom in displaying what they have learned. I allow them to create a project at the end of a novel which gives them the freedom to visually show me and others what they have learned. Just the red and black markers and copy paper that the school supplies does not allow for much originality. This is why I would like to add poster paper and a colorful selection of markers to my craft area. The school budget also does not cover the cost of keeping my students healthy and germ free in the classroom. A lot of sickness gets spread throughout the school year. Some facial tissue, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes would really help to cut down on this and keep my students in the classroom and learning. Thank you so much for taking the time to look over my request! These kids and I appreciate you.
