  • Fun With Phonics!

    Funded Dec 31, 2023

    Thank you so much for the phonics games and materials. My students were so excited as I explained that they are going to use these games in their small groups. This put big smiles on their faces. Right away they all wanted to play the picture/word bingo.

    The picture/word bingo is a great way to help them practice matching words to pictures. The Tower of Sight Words game is a fun way to practice sight words. All the materials will be shared with the groups which will help them to enjoy practicing reading and phonics skills. Thank you for making learning fun!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Forte

  • Rockstars in Reading and Writing

    Funded Aug 31, 2023

    Thank you so much for all the primary lined notebooks for my first grade class. I told my students I have something new for everyone. I held up some of the beautiful red-covered notebooks and they all went "wow!" and/or "oooh!" They were so excited! I explained that these are our new O.G. (Orton Gillingham) notebooks.

    We use the notebooks to write spelling words and a sentence that goes with the words. The bigger spaces between the lines make this easy for my 5 and 6 year olds. Once they finish writing, they draw a picture on the top of the page that matches the sentence. This part helps make the learning fun.

    The format of the the pages helps me to help them write. It is so important that they learn to form the letters correctly. These notebooks really make a difference in my students' learning! Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Forte

  • Reaching for Better Readers

    Funded Mar 5, 2021

    Thank you very much for those amazing supplies. My students were

    able to complete fun and educational activities with the crayons and scissors.

    They were so excited to each get their own box of crayons and pair of scissors. They really were grateful, as many families can't afford to buy most of their school supplies.

    Students practiced their sight words by coloring and cutting out sight words. They also had fun practicing multiplication by playing the bingo game. These supplies really made a difference for my 3rd graders.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Forte

The phonics and math materials will help students practice reading skills and basic multiplication skills to help them achieve grade level in those areas. These fun games in our classroom will be used to help to motivate my students to learn hands-on with a partner or two, instead of just practicing skills on paper. These games are things they will look forward to doing when in our classroom, as they still are in a blended school setting. Each child will receive a pack of crayons and a pair of scissors to go home and ones to keep in their own desk at school. This way they always have access to them whether they are working from home or in our classroom. They will not have to worry about constantly bringing those supplies back and forth between school and home.
