  • A Fun, New Way to Learn!

    Funded Dec 14, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. With these gift cards, I have been able to provide new activities and worksheets to my students. I have also been able to purchase new curriculums that have shown to help my students immensely with their learning. We have been using a new Science of Reading curriculum that has helped my students with their phonemic awareness and writing. My students have been so excited to use the new activities and games I have purchased using the gift cards. Thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Derenge

  • What a Colorful Way to Learn

    Funded Aug 4, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous gift! My students were so excited to get to use the new storage containers and they loved how colorful they were!

    My students are learning to be independent. They are able to pick the activity they want to do based on the color of the container. They are overjoyed at what they can accomplish independently.

    My students are learning more than just academics, they are learning life skills. Thanks to your gift, they can complete tasks with minimal help. The excitement on my students faces when they complete a task with help is just overwhelming. We all thank you!”

    Mrs. Derenge

  • Clean Air Helps the Brain

    Funded Mar 11, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. With the materials I received I was able to keep my classroom a safe and healthy place for my students to be.

    The air purifier has helped keep my classroom free of harmful germs that may be in the air. The new masks have been used frequently, especially when a students mask breaks or they accidentally throw it away. My new desk has helped me keep both virtual and in person students engaged by allowing me to be attentive to groups of students.

    My students and I are extremely grateful for your kindness and generosity to helping keep our classroom a safe and healthy environment to learn in!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Derenge

  • A Virtual Revamping

    Funded Jan 7, 2021

    Thank you so much for your donation! The new materials I have been able to purchase have really been a hit with my students! I was able to purchase leveled readers and new activities to keep my students engaged during virtual learning.

    One of the most enjoyed activities is a set of digital games that I am able to assign to my students! They love being able to learn through these games and show me what they have learned. They are excited to see what I will assign and are ready to learn.

    Your gift is greatly appreciated!”

    Mrs. Derenge

  • For the Joy of Literacy

    Funded Aug 27, 2019

    These books have been a wonderful addition to our classroom! I have been able to use these books to help teach different genres and types of stories. My students are especially fond of the non-fiction animal books! They are so excited to tell me what they read about and the new facts that they learn.

    My students and I have started a new practice in my room of quiet reading everyday. After recess we come in after recess and read for 15 quiet minutes. Some students choose to read independently while some read to a partner. This has quickly become a favorite time for my students.

    My lower readers are a big fan of the cartoon books because they can relate to the images and decode the story. My higher readers love the science books and the information that they learn. I have one student who has read a book about animal habitats almost everyday.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Derenge

These books will allow my students to establish a love of reading. By having a large selection of books, my students will be able to choose different books that they like. I want to create a classroom library that is filled to the brim with different types of literature. I hope to create a classroom filled with avid readers who find inspiration in books. By having a print-rich classroom, my students will be able to improve their reading skills. I have picked books that are leveled for students to find books they enjoy along with different genres for exploring the world of literature.
