Funded Oct 27, 2021First, we would like to thank you all for your donations and consideration. Our students came into the school building this year after being out for almost 2 years. 2 years of memories, learning and growth taken away. The project Taking Steps Towards Learning was used to receive useful resources to help with hands-on learning in math, in addition to having classroom accessories that will help with children who may benefit from sensory items such as floor decals.
When our items were received our students showed and expressed so much excitement. They were amazed by the colors, the fun decals for pathways that will be made if they need movement breaks and very happy to have their own materials to practice making a ten.
Thankfully, all donors have helped our classroom grow in ways that all educators would be so proud of. After mastering how to make a ten using the donated ten frames, our students can now make a ten without using the frames/counters. This master skill now allows them to solve addition/subtraction problems at ease. Students who need movement breaks are striving in the classroom because they have learned that the fun is wth our decals, however once we are in the classroom it is time to learn. Students who may also need a movement break have grown to learn how to follow a schedule.
As the year is coming to an end, our current goal is to push students for something simple..growth. Growth in any quantity or quality amazes us educators and that is what we are looking for as out 2nd graders are now considered future 3rd graders.
We thank all donors again for their kindness and consideration.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Butler
