Help My Students Learn to Read
Funded Dec 3, 2021
I am beyond grateful for your support. My students deserve to have an opportunity to learn how to read and to be successful in the grade before standardized testing. Thank you for support and for caring about my students and their many needs. My students come from various backgrounds and my major concern this school year has been if I can do enough to help them. Thank you all for providing and ensuring that they will receive the resources that they deserve to be successful! I am crying so many happy tears and cannot wait to tell my students this wonderful news.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Golcheski
This classroom project was brought to life by Clark Foundation & Marriott Foundation and 4 other donors.

In 2nd grade, the goal is to ensure that our students are able to read fluently for 3rd grade (when standardized tests begin). Right now, a majority of my students are learning how to identify their letters and letter sounds. Through various research, we know that our students learn the best through small group instruction and through a play-based and project-based line of inquiry. The manipulatives will be supportive to my students who are learning basic CVC words and soon will learn CVCV patterns. The magic board will help with continued practice (if I can build it, I can write, if I can write it, I can read it!) of identifying the CVC words as well as handwriting practice (which is desperately needed during the pandemic). The special phones will help with practicing and saying the words. The letter mats for the magic boards will help in our handwriting and CVC reading and writing goals. The wobble stools will help with staying focused and engaged while working through our reading stations. We all learn differently and need different ways of being stimulated to focus and a texture, a movement, a chair can really help some of our youngest learners to focus. I once again would really appreciate any and all support I can receive for my 2nd graders. They are so inquisitive and are doing their absolute best, and I look forward to seeing them all reading by the end of the school year!
