Books and Braids Before-School Club
Funded Oct 3, 2024Thank you so much for your donation to our Books and Braids before-school club! Our students have been so eager to sign up for a slot to come in and read while having their hair styled. Fridays are the most popular day- so that they can have a fun hairstyle all weekend! Students are enjoying the high-interest graphic novels that your donation helped purchase. Their favorites are "The Baby-Sitter's Club" and "Kid YouTuber." A variety of students have come in to read including both girls and boys. The boys are drawn to the hair chalk and the girls have loved the butterfly clips and hair glitter. Their faces light up when I tell them they can keep their comb and hair accessories.
Your donation has helped support literacy at our school. It has boosted confidence. Your generosity has brought a smile to many sweet little faces.”
With gratitude,

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Foundation and 12 other donors.New Art Supplies for New Class
Funded Aug 4, 2023This fall you helped support my second grade classroom full of eager learners! You have helped keep their tummies full with healthy snacks, encouraged their hard work with smelly stickers, and engaged their minds with hands on learning!
My students use the playdoh weekly during math centers. They especially liked using it when learning how to add and subtract two digit numbers as seen in the pictures. We also did a novel student with The Wild Robot and created our own perlar bead robots you purchased for us! Students then wrote a descriptive paragraph about their robots!
Your support has greatly impacted my classroom by making learning fun, keeping students motivated, and making this teacher's life just a little easier!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Alaska Department of Education & Early Development.2nd Graders Seeking Chapter Books!
Funded Mar 15, 2022My books arrived today and were delivered during the school day. My students were SO excited! I did a little "show and tell" of the new books and we worked together to get them on our bookshelf. The entire time kids were shouting out which book they hoped their group would read first! I haven't seen them so excited in a long time! And about books! Woohoo!
We'll begin using the books tomorrow when we meet in our small groups. The kids can't wait, and frankly— neither can I! Thank you so much for your generosity. You've made a huge impact on our classroom!”
With gratitude,

Buzz-Worthy Books for the Busy Bee Classroom!
Funded Apr 4, 2021I can't express my gratitude enough for your generosity. These new book sets are already so loved by me and my students. Not only are they brand new, which is exciting when you're 7 years old and you get to be the "FIRST PERSON EVER" to read that book, but they are high interest and relevant! I am thoroughly enjoying using these books in my small group reading centers. They are just what the Busy Bees needed to improve their reading fluency and comprehension. Thank you again, a million times over!”
