Your support, generosity, and kindness made using these new and engaging materials a way for students to learn their standards in an exciting way!

Each of my students are able to access the materials to help improve their own learning and skills because it meets them right where they are at. My students love to use the resources because they feel like they are playing a game while they are practicing their math and reading skills.

    Thank you again for your support.”

  • Leveling Up Through Games and Leveled Books

    Funded May 10, 2023

    Thank you so much for helping us make this project a reality. We can't thank you enough for your help in making learning fun and engaging in our classroom. Through this purchase, my students were able to play games in mathematics and language arts to enhance their skills. Games such as, racing to get to the value of 100 (math) and making new words through chaining, which changes a word by adding or subtracting a letter or letters to make a new word. These are just a few of the fun and exciting ways that students were able to use the engaging resources purchased through this wonderful donation.”

  • Inviting Classroom Environment

    Funded Jan 10, 2023

    Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, kindness, and generosity. My students and I really enjoy the activities, presentations, lessons, and tasks aligned with these materials. My students are able to enhance their skills in a fun and engaging way and we have you to thank for that.

    This project has also allowed for small group instruction, whereby students are able to be challenged and learning extended where needed. This ensures differentiation and quality materials are being used to help students learn the foundational skills needed in first grade.

    Thank you again for thinking of us and providing us with opportunities within this project. We appreciate you!”

  • Basic School Supplies for First Grade Learners!

    Funded Jan 10, 2023

    Thank you so much for supporting our classroom through your donations. We wouldn't be able to have new engaging activities, games, texts, or new class engagement resources without your generous and thoughtful donation. These resources allow my students to be engaged while learning.

    The resources purchased align with the state of Virginia Standards of Learning for first grade. They provide slides that include interactive activities and games for students to learn new information important to the first-grade curriculum.

    Thank you again for helping my students!”

  • Engaging Early Literacy For Beginning Readers

    Funded Aug 10, 2022

    Thank you for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity. My students and I appreciate you helping us enhance our literacy learning. The multiple games and organized activities have helped make learning fun and engaging.

    My students enjoy using these centers to work on sounding out words, creating new words, and looking at word structure. The more practice that they have with these skills, the better readers they become.

    Thank you again for thinking of our classroom. Your donations have helped my students continue to practice their reading skills.”

  • Engaging Math and Language Arts Centers

    Funded Jul 24, 2022

    Thank you so much for helping my students with engaging activities and center maters that help them learn the necessary skills in the areas of reading and mathematics. The resources provided through this grant, have allowed for extended practice of skills through fun and engaging tasks that make learning fun.

    As beginning readers, my students have found the blending and segmenting of letter sounds to make words extremely beneficial. The organizational charts, staplers, folders, etc have made it easier for the students during center time. The students now have access at each center to all of the needed materials in one place instead of having to share them at multiple centers.

    Thank you again for your generosity, kindness, and thoughtfulness that you have shown to our class. We truly appreciate it!”

I teach K-1 students with disabilities. My students require engaging activities to help them close their learning gaps, hone their foundational skills, and make learning fun. My students are 5-7 years old and have small attention spans for the most part. During the virtual learning process, I would like to make learning more engaging and model educational programs and apps that will help my students with ways to bridge their gaps in learning. By modeling these programs and apps together, I will be able to instruct new content and explain how my students can extend the use of these programs when they are working independently or with their parents at home. The use of the iPad, via programs and apps, will provide a fun way to instruct and engage my students when they are learning the knowledge, skills and abilities (such as: letter/sound relationship, identifying and counting numbers, etc) that will help close some of the learning gaps of their grade age peers that do not have learning disabilities. Once in person learning resumes, students will be using the programs and apps via manipulation of the iPad during small group instruction and pull out lessons.
