  • Small Group Revamp!

    Funded Aug 31, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating to our small groups this school year! Your donations made our school year so much better! Each time I met with one of my small groups, the learning was more meaningful and engaging due to the products that were donated in this project!

    My students learned more than they ever could with these products! They were able to have hands-on learning and able to practice their skills with more than just paper and pencil. My students loved coming back when it was their small groups turn! I really could not have done this without the help from all of you gracious donors!”

  • Navigating Math!

    Funded Jul 17, 2022

    Thank you so much for helping our second graders! The mice have helped the kids navigate our new math curriculum! Starting a new math curriculum that is mainly online is quite intimidating but with the help of the mice it has been a much smoother experience!

    The mice have also helped in other ways as well! They have helped the kids develop better computer skills!

    The computer mice have been such a hit in our two 2nd grade classrooms that our school is wanting to get mice for the rest of the classrooms!”

  • Shh... It's a Secret!

    Funded May 8, 2022

    Thank you for donating to this project! Secret Stories has helped my 2nd graders so much this year and I know it will help the incoming 2nd graders because they will get a full year of Secret Stories! The materials help by allowing me to make each student an interactive folder that includes all the stories and phonics! These folders will be used during small groups and whole group instruction! The kiddos will enjoy having a hands on experience while learning meaningful stories with phonics!

    Again, thank you so much!”

  • Dino-Mite Time in 2nd Grade

    Funded Jan 14, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating these wonderful materials for our students! Our new 2nd graders will enjoy these materials more than you know! Our past 2nd graders enjoyed our unit on fossils and dinosaurs but with theses awesome tools, our incoming 2nd graders will enjoy it even more!

    The materials that were donated give the students a chance to have a hands on experience that they have never had! The students will get to excavate their own dinosaur eggs and will get to experience what paleontologists experience everyday!

    These materials will make the students want to learn more and more each day! THANK YOU!”

  • Time to Read!

    Funded Aug 20, 2021

    The students love our bookshelves as they give our classroom library a neat and organized home! The students were so excited as the bookshelves were all set up when they came in! They love sitting in our classroom library!

    We have used our flexible seating multiple times daily since we have gotten them! The kiddos absolutely love the cushions! The flexible seating options have helped the kids stay focused and on task!

    Thank you so much for helping my 2nd graders! They love everything that was donated to them!”

    This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and 8 other donors.
I am a first-year teacher and I want to organize my library, so it is easy for my 2nd graders to find what they want to read! During rotations and silent reading time, my students will have the opportunity to pick from my classroom library. The bookshelves listed in this project will help organize, so the students can quickly and efficiently find what they want to read. I also added flexible seating options in this project for when students read, they have an option to choose from! Also, they will have flexible seating options during instruction! I love reading and I want my students to fall in love with reading just like I did in 2nd grade!
