  • Ownership, Responsibility and Real World Learning Experiences

    Funded Apr 30, 2024

    I hope this note finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for your generous contribution of Steam games to our classroom. Your thoughtful gift has truly enhanced our learning environment, providing students with engaging, interactive experiences that will aid their education in new and exciting ways.

    Games are such a powerful tool for learning, allowing students to develop critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a fun and motivating way. Thanks to your generosity, we now have access to resources that make these learning experiences even more dynamic and immersive.

    Your support makes a real difference, and I cannot thank you enough for investing in the growth and education of our students. We are excited to incorporate these games into our lessons, and I know the students will greatly benefit from them.

    Once again, thank you for your kindness and commitment to our classroom's success.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Fortune

  • Steaming Up for a Good Year!

    Funded Oct 30, 2023

    Thank you so much for the rug and stem projects. My students were extremely excited to see these new resources. During their finished work time they can work collaboratively on the steam peojects. They are learning how to work together to build circuts and create movement with wooden dowels and fans.

    With the resources you provided, we now have access to a diverse range of Steam materials that will undoubtedly enhance the learning experience for the kids. Your kindness has opened up new possibilities for hands-on, interactive lessons, making education more engaging and enjoyable.

    I cannot adequately convey the impact your contribution has had on our classroom. Your commitment to education and the well-being of our students is truly inspiring. As we embark on this exciting journey with the new resources, please know that your generosity has made a lasting difference in the lives of these young learners.

    Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support has not only enriched our classroom but has also fostered a sense of community and shared purpose. I am truly grateful for your kindness.

    Warm regards,”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Fortune

  • The Gift of Reading "Real" Books

    Funded Jul 28, 2022

    Thank you for the gift of reading. My students use the books and magazines and are interested in real literature. They are excited to read stories and have these hands on materials available to them. The gift of reading is like no other. The students now have leveled books at their fingertips where they can choose their "just right" book. Coming from a title 1 school this is a huge impact for the children. The love of reading is a gift like no other and with the generosity with donors like you the students are now able to read "real" books.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Fortune

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time. As for the TPT gift cards, that will create a virtual and interactive way for the students to learn through escape rooms and head to head competitions all while learning and having fun. With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level. Since they still have to be 3 feet apart I want to make this the most enjoyable year back for them.
