Funded May 14, 2024Thanks again for supporting my Donor's Choose Project: FUNdamental Tools for Literacy! Students in 1st-5th grades have loved having their own notebooks. Being able to decorate them at the beginning of the year added an element of fun and created a sense of ownership.
We use the notebooks and writing supplies during our small group times. Students' handwriting continues to be an area where we strive to improve. Writing with pens and pencils on lined paper has really helped some kids develop better penmanship. We continue to work on these skills as we practice our phonics and reading skills.
Student notebooks will follow students in their work next year. It will be great to pick up where we left off. They will be able to look back and see how they have progressed in their spelling, handwriting, and the phonics skills they are learning.
Thanks again for supporting our project. It's amazing how all the materials donated have helped set us up for success. We appreciate you all!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Mayerske
