    There are not enough words to express my joy, gratitude, and thanks for your generous donations to my class project.

  • Welcome to 2.5 Calming Corner

    Funded Jul 24, 2024

    It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, towards our classroom calming corner.

    The use of our calming corner allows kids to be aware of their own emotions. Kids learn how to identify their emotions so they can better regulate them. Calm-down corners provide a safe space for kids to process these emotions in a vulnerable state without distraction or judgment.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Santiago

  • Help Grow Readers

    Funded Jul 21, 2021

    Thank you so much for purchasing the reading materials for my class. It has open doors to reading. As COVID affected a lot of our school and students. Students are unable to use our school library. Instead of having the experience through reading with a book, most of their reading is done through EPIC! Which is a great source, but they are also missing the opportunity to explore and feel what a book feels. With Scholastic Magazines, it is something they have never seen before. As a teacher it is a perfect tool, because it can be incorporated to lessons since it means the second grade standards. Aside that it makes students be engage through reading because it captures their attention and is engaging as well.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Santiago

As avid lovers of literature, teachers often find themselves wanting to impart every bit of knowledge about a well-loved text to their students. And this is not just an ELA issue—other disciplines also often focus on the content of a text. However, teaching reading skills in English classes and across the disciplines is an almost guaranteed way to help students retain content. Unfortunately, the tendency to focus on the content is a real enemy to the ultimate goal of building reading skills. We can help our children find the tools they need to succeed in life. Having access to information through the printed word is an absolute necessity. Knowledge is power, and books are full of it. But reading is more than just a practical tool. Through books we can enrich our minds; we can also relax and enjoy some precious leisure moments. With your help, your children can begin a lifelong relationship with the printed word, so they grow into adults who read easily and frequently whether for business, knowledge, or pleasure.
