Help me give my students a running start to school success! I would like for all my students to have access to the learning tools they will need for school success!
Thank you so much for contributing to our project. Our materials look so good all organized in their own space. We can easily access the materials that we need and keep our room neat and tidy. Again , thanks so much for all that you do for our classroom!
With the storage, we can place our books, by units in our library area. Students can easily grab their desired bin and easily place it back where it goes. Also, the laminating machine and pouches allowed us to clearly materials to ensure there is no loss of learning time.”
To the Donors Choose Community and family, thank you so much for your continued support of me and my kiddos!
Our shared reading story-time is back on track because of you.
We now have a safe and sturdy big book holder. We can huddle on the carpet once again and hear stories that take us on many adventures.
Our big book holder is not only sturdy but it has space and compartments for all of our materials. Again, thank you so much for the interest and support that you have shown to me and my kiddos.”

Having access to basic supplies in the classroom is a game changer. With your assistance and care, I am able to focus on what is really important, teaching!
The basic supplies that you provided helped to keep my kiddos healthy at our "Health Station" by providing an abundance of hand cleaning supplies. A special thank you to the matching Kleenex grant!
Our small group lessons are so much more fun and engaging when I can print and laminate fun activity pages for my kiddos to practice literacy and math skills.”

The screeches of excitement that were released when I shared the coding Bee-bots was priceless!
My scholars were so excited and enthusiastic about learning basic coding. We are working on trying to get our bots to reach a predetermined object or place.
The critical thinking that I am seeing being developed in my students is phenomenal! They are using various skills as they are learning to program our bots. Students are working collaboratively and sharing ideas. They are being creative and actively listening to one another. I am very pleased with how they are thriving!”

What a wonderful resource you have provided my students. My students are learning so much about the world around them.
My scholars are enjoying reading, learning new vocabulary and interesting facts. The videos and games are an added bonus, not to mention the activity page that we complete together or for home study.
We have shared many fun moments when we learn something new or are just browsing through an edition. Conversation is always enhanced by what we are reading about in our current issue of Let's Find Out or My Big World! Thank you all so much.”

Thank you does not seem to be sufficient to express the gratitude that I and my students feel towards your kindness .
Our study of life cycles and metamorphosis has been greatly enhanced by your generous gift of materials that your donations provided.
Students use the big book to read about the life cycle of a butterfly. They engage in role play using the life cycle puppets to retell the story of a butterflies life. The sequence cards are a favorite center activity in our classroom. Students are excited and engaged with their learning.
Again, thank you!”

Selecting and listening to stories read to them at the Listening Center has been an awesome addition to our daily rotation. Students work in a small group to choose from the variety of fiction and non fiction books and CD's that your generous donations provided.
Students are able to access stories and information far beyond their individual reading levels. The interest and love of reading has significantly increased in our class.
Having a center that I know promotes reading fluency, allows me the opportunity to assist other small groups of students.
We are so appreciative of the kindness and generosity that you've extended to our class.”

As you may or may not realize, basic supplies play a major role in successfully delivering instruction. Having the materials that you need at the ready, help to facilitate teaching and learning.
My students and I are able to create graphic organizers, illustrate stories, and transport school to home communications efficiently. I have the materials that I need to print and create fun learning games and centers that my students enjoy using and benefit from academically.
We are so thankful that you all chose our class to be recipients of your generosity!”

My students are thoroughly enjoying their listening center. Learning to read also consists of listening to good reading. You have made it possible for my students to hear a variety of stories, informational and narratives, that they truly enjoy and appreciate. Interest and recall of the stories heard in the listening center has skyrocketed. The listening center is a popular center to visit as part of our rotation schedule. Students look forward to visiting the center and choosing stories of their liking. Again, we appreciate your continued support of our learning!”
