• Books My Students Want to Read

  Funded Dec 26, 2024

  It certainly is the season of giving, and I am so very grateful for the generosity of my donors.

  As repeatedly reported on the news, reading scores are lower than ever. I have tried to counter those statistics by giving my students books they have picked out to read. They will be so excited unpacking the boxes and putting the new books on the classroom shelves.

  Happy New Year and thank you again!”

  With gratitude,

  Ms. Ashley

• My Students Need Basic Technology to See Our Class Lessons

  Funded Dec 26, 2024

  Even in the season of giving, I am overwhelmed by the absolute generosity of the donors who have funded my project for the technology needed in my classroom.

  Technology is essential in teaching, yet there are some teachers, like myself, who are in need of basics such as monitors, speakers and cables that is beyond our ability to provide on our own.

  Again, thank you so much for your donation and please know that it will elevate the lessons I will now be able to provide in my classroom.”

• Books They Have Been Asking For

  Funded Apr 19, 2024

  These days it is so difficult for teachers to compete with social media and online content. I love to engage students to read books that they can hold in their hands and turn the pages while reading.

  Whenever possible, I ask students to help me pick out their own learning materials.

  Your donation provided my students with the books they have been asking for. The impact of having reading materials that students are interested in is invaluable.

  Please know that the your donation has made a huge impact on my students.”

• A Book Students Are Asking to Read

  Funded Oct 26, 2023

  Thank you so much for making this novel project possible. Every day on the news we hear about students not being able to read. Being able to put a book in their hands that they want to read is truly fantastic.

• My Students Want to Learn Life Skills!

  Funded Feb 4, 2022

  I would first like to thank all of my donors for putting books in the hands of my student readers. Without your generous contribution it would be unlikely, if not impossible, to have a classroom library, a novel study book, or a book on life skills.

  Many of my students are unfamiliar with basic life skills like what it means to have a budget, open a savings account, or what a utility bill is. It is a rarity to find a student who even knows how to address an envelope and put a stamp on, and what to do with it after that. Just a many students don't know how to shop for a basic meal or make their own breakfast.

  What I like to do is give my students the opportunity to choose the books they would like to read. By giving them a choice in selecting their own reading materials, they are exited to open those boxes of books when they arrive and begin reading.

  These days it is very difficult to get students to put down their technology and pick up a book. Reading is essential to their success in life on so many levels.

  Thank you once again taking the time out to find a classroom project and donate. It truly means a lot.”

• Giving My Students the Joy of Poetry!

  Funded Feb 11, 2022

  I would first like to thank all of my donors for putting books in the hands of my student readers. Without your generous contribution it would be unlikely, if not impossible, to have a classroom library, a novel study book, or a book of poetry such as Amanda Gorman's, "The Hill We Climb."

  Being exposed to poetry opens up a whole new world of reading for students.

  What I like to do is give my students the opportunity to choose the books they would like to read. By giving them a choice in selecting their own reading materials, they are exited to open those boxes of books when they arrive and begin reading.

  These days it is very difficult to get students to put down their technology and pick up a book. Reading is essential to their success in life on so many levels.

  Thank you once again for taking the time out to find a classroom project and donate. It truly means a lot.”

• Wanted: Poetry That Makes Me Laugh

  Funded Aug 3, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to my poetry project. Reading poetry makes students laugh, experience emotions, and helps them understand that they are not the only ones to feel that way. Most of all, I want my students to have the opportunity to go to the classroom bookshelf and choose a poetry book that will make them laugh.”
