The Magic of Reading
Funded Apr 3, 2024We are incredibly grateful for your generous contributions that have sparked a love for reading among our students. Your support has been instrumental in providing resources and opportunities that have encouraged our students to delve into the magical world of books.
The excitement among our students has been palpable, especially with the Harry Potter-themed incentives that motivated them to work hard and earn amazing prizes. This initiative has not only made reading fun but has also inspired a sense of accomplishment and joy in their literary adventures.
As we head into the summer, our students are eager to continue their reading journey, exploring new stories and expanding their imaginations, thanks to the encouragement and support you have provided.
Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity. You have truly made a difference in fostering a lifelong love of reading in our students.”

Get Your Head in the Game
Funded Aug 9, 2022Wow! The kids have been so engaged! They have come to school smiling and love to have learning mixed with games. They even took an assessment and used the post it's to play "cheese touch"! They love making a basket in the basketball hoop when they answer a question. This is my fourth year teaching and I have never seen the kids so excited!!
We have used the games to make our learning more exciting. Students have played the class candy crush game as a way to check their answers and get immediate feedback. When I add these games like the chicken fling, ultimate four square, and golden coin students get very excited and ask to play them daily!!”

Funded Jun 17, 2021The writing project is in full swing. I have been teaching the students how to write personal narratives. There are other projects we have yet to get to as it is the beginning of the school year. We are planning to write opinion and information essays and we are excited! One of my students loves the choices he has in the resources I was able to purchase through help from donors like you!
One of the resources given to my students is "Step Up to Writing" which simplifies the steps of writing and benefits their growth as a writer. This resource was purchased on teachers pay teachers and not only benefits my students but also the teacher who created the resource. My students love writing with this resource and have written wonderful personal narratives about a time in their life that impacted them. I love the check lists and the interactive notebooks provided in the resources as well they are very helpful to learning writing.
Thank you for the writing resources so students can feel successful!”

Reading With Hope
Funded Dec 23, 2019My students have been using the resources donated to the classroom to focus our attention on reading! I have had success with the white boards in engaging them to think and answer o that everyone is accountable. The new library and C-pen have been amazing in allowing my students to be excited about reading with the ability to work independently! I am so thrilled they have the hope of progression. Their reading scores have increased and I am so excited for their progress! The students love to sit on their yoga balls and stand on their balance boards. It has really helped them stay focused during lessons. Currently we are studying Black History month and reading the new book received from you wonderful donors to learn about a African American citizen each day that helped make our country what it is today! Thank you so much for your love for learning! We have hope for our abilities of reading in the future because of your generosity!”
