  • School Supplies for Success

    Funded Jan 26, 2022

    Thank you so much for your very generous donations to my classroom. I was able to purchase headphones for my class, which has been very helpful to the children when they are working on their chrome books. They are able to work on their math skills on sites such as Dream Box and Splash Math and their reading skills, on sites such as Smarty Ants and Epic! Their faces really lit up when I pulled these headphones out of the box.

    I was also able to purchase water color paints, markers, and a few odds and ends to help make some projects to go along with our curriculum. They get very excited when I pull these materials out, and work so hard to make some interesting things. We learned about Ruby Bridges, our Earth and even rainbows.

    Your generosity lives on in our classroom, and I hope you realize the impact your donations have made to the lives of so many children.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Kuempel

  • Learning to Read is Fun!

    Funded Jan 1, 2022

    I'd like to tell you how thankful my class and I are for the wonderful gift of funds to purchase some great materials for our literacy centers. When we received the boxes with the materials, the children were so excited, and kept asking when they were going to get to try it all out.

    Every day, we spend an hour doing center activities, while I call leveled groups to the back table to work on skills and read leveled readers with them. During center time, the students do word work, work on writing skills, read books and work on an app on their chrome books.

    I was able to use the play dough and stamps, and a few other activities in the work on words center, and the students LOVE it. I can use the cvc building materials to also help me in my small group time, as a warm up activity, or I put it in the work on words center to help them sound out those cvc words. In my writing center the students really enjoy making sentences with the tiles, and writing and drawing pictures to match.

    They really enjoy the fun and engaging materials you made possible to have in their classroom.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Kuempel

The students will be using these materials to work independently in reading centers. They struggle to put their letter knowledge to use in making words, and then to make complete sentences. These supplies will be a fun way for them to master making words and writing sentences. The touch and spell items play dough and stamps will show them that the individual phoneme sounds combine to make words, and YES, they can read them. The sentence-building activities will help to expand their sentence writing capabilities and be more independent writers.
