A Cozy Carpet for Our Classroom
Funded Sep 14, 2023The carpet has been a wonderful addition to our classroom, and we are so thankful for your generosity! Classroom decor is something that makes a learning environment more inviting, and our new carpet certainly does the job.
Students are excited when we give them the opportunity to work on the carpet. The carpet is the perfect size for a small group, they have ample space to work and collaborate comfortably. In addition to it being comfortable, the bright colors really make the space pop! This only further encourages students to want to work in this space now.
Thank you again for your donation, my students and I are so thankful and know how fortunate we are for people like you!”

Books for 2nd Grade Bookies!
Funded May 5, 2022Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. Our students have a high interest in fiction series books, and look forward to reading every day in school. Every week our students are allowed to "shop" for new books on their reading level. This is a time for them to pick books that are of interest to them and books they can use during our reading lessons.
In our reading lessons, students use their independent reading books to learn important skills like retelling, predicting and inferring. Retelling helps our students to hang onto details of the story, like the problem and the character feelings. Predictions are a great way for students to show their comprehension of the story. By making a strong prediction they are showing a clear understanding of the story. Inferring is a higher order skill that requires students to think beyond the pages of the story and think about why a character is acting or feeling a certain way.
These books are essential for building strong reading skills, and 2nd grade is an important year for students as a reader. Thanks to your generous donation, our students are excited to read these new books!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Dollar General Literacy Foundation and one other donor.It’s Bin Too Long Since We’ve Had New Bins!
Funded Aug 31, 2021Thank you so much for your generosity in donating to this project for my class. These new bins have made book shopping in our class both smoother and safer. Students are able to safely select their books and with these new bins we can hold more books. When the bins arrived in our classroom the students were thrilled. When we unpacked them they all cheered and were happy to help swap the old bins with the new ones. They love the bright colors and were excited to help us create labels for the bins. Our classroom library is so inviting and promotes good reading habits for the students. Thank you again for your donation!”
