  • Math and Science Activities!

    Funded Sep 20, 2023

    Thank you for choosing to make a difference in my classroom with your generous donation. We appreciate your support!! Your contribution helps me create activities focused on my student's learning levels. Each station that I am able to create for my small groups helps my students tremendously. I am able to generate more precise levels of activities for my students, which meets each level my students' growth. As students master and accomplish each level they are able to move on to a more challenging activity. These activities are available for students to choose and decide what they are able to accomplish and succeed at in the stations.

    We are completely grateful from the bottom of our hearts for your generous support to our classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. E. Gamboa

  • Growing Up Professionally With Style

    Funded Jun 12, 2023

    All I can say is WOW!! I am so happy to have received this donation and I was thrilled with the donation. Your donation has provided me with the the help I need to prepare for my classes each week. For years I have use a 13inch screen which is considered small these days. To have a screen where I can open multiple windows at a time will help with keeping my folders and windows organized. I was so excited to have such a generous donation like yours. This school year will be easier to plan with such a screen this large. I never realized how hard it is to work on such a small screen and it has been difficult to open several windows at a time while planning.

    This will be a great asset to my planning and provide a more proficient working space.

    As we advance with technology and the age of virtual learning, this screen will be a tremendous help to me. I can open multiple windows and without the fear of closing them by accident. I will be able to open several window and see the graphics more clearly. I will be able to keep up with technology and learn how to work more efficiently.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. E. Gamboa

  • We Can Learn to Work Together!

    Funded Dec 22, 2021

    I would like to give you a huge THANK YOU!! My students use the resources provided to build words and help them with fluency. They became more confident in word building and reading which increased their reading levels. The best part is that when I saw my shy readers blossom with confidence when using the dots to track the sounds. The picture matching the words is very helpful. For a small group project, my students use the puzzles to pick a favorite word, write short sentences or two, and draw a picture.

    My students first reaction was shock and asked "Are these ours?" I said "Yes!"

    They were so excited and wanted to immediately start working with flip charts. We use the flip charts with the letter sounds in pairs and students practice saying the words to each other.

    The next steps for future projects is using he materials to use the phonics blending activities to help with writing and fluency. My goal is to have my first graders using phonics, building words, reading fluency to develop short stories with ease.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. E. Gamboa

    This classroom project was brought to life by The Allstate Foundation and 4 other donors.
By receiving the items from Lakeshore this will provide my students an opportunity to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. The resources will be most helpful during small group time which will allow them to build and work together. They will develop relationships to teach each other reading and math skills. I want my students to own their learning, be more engaged and feel proud of their own accomplishments. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional reading and math support to reinforce their learning. These activities will be extremely beneficial to my students and their learning community. I have seen how proud students feel when they accomplish activities on their own or with a group. They get so excited and want to share what they have learned. This type of independent learning can positively affect my students work and will help us grow as a classroom community.
