  • Empowering Young Authors With the Write Stuff!

    Funded Sep 11, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donations with supplying my students with much needed writing supplies. These resources have allowed my students to spend more quality time writing stories about their lives and about topics that involve research where they get to expand their minds and knowledge on a variety of topics.

    Writing is an essential part of the learning process in my classroom. Your donations of writing notebooks, pencils, paper, and artistic materials have allowed my students the opportunity to engage in their writing to a greater extent while building a life-long appreciation for writing!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Canales

  • Mathematicians and Their Curious Wonderings to Solving Problems

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    I would like to thank you again for all the generous support that you have provided me with to help get essential supplies into my math classroom. One of them being whiteboard markers. The students use them daily to solve math problems and display their thinking on their whiteboards. It is an easier way for me to assess their reasoning. I find that when students use them, they are more engaged in the lesson. I also appreciate having access to more crayons. Recently, we wrapped up a unit on representing data through graphing. The students used the crayons to enhance color to their bar graphs. It is amazing how color makes a difference in the representation of their learning.

    In the future, my students will be working on modeling multiplication problems using manipulatives and problem-solving involving measurement. I look forward to using our donated supplies for these upcoming lessons!

    In conclusion, I feel my students can learn to their highest potential when they are provided with the essential supplies needed to succeed. Your generous donation has helped contribute to creating an equitable classroom experience they well deserve!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Canales

Teaching a math class to all the students in the school is rewarding, but what is more rewarding is when they have the essential supplies to contribute to their learning. Whiteboard markers, pencils, and crayons are the most utilized materials in all my classes. Over time, markers dry out, pencils get dull, crayons become overused, and eventually these supplies do not last. Real world problem solving is the main focus in all my math classes. I have my students display their thinking daily on their whiteboards and in their math notebooks. It helps me assess their creative thinking, curiosities, and most exciting, their new invented math strategies! Paper and construction paper are other supplies that are utlized heavily, especially with the younger grades. These materials are used to model mathematics whether it is through drawings, cut and paste activities, or physically making mathematical models. By having these supplies available, my mathematicians will be able to get the most out their mathematical experiences, and will have the resources necessary to succeed to their fullest.
