Learning to Work Together
Funded Jun 20, 2023Thank you for your generous donation of supplies that will help support my students in working together. I am very excited to promote healthy habits through the read aloud books and encouraging them how to have a positive mindset. I look forward to watching the students be engaged while brainstorming and working together to build creations with the magnatiles and puzzles. I appreciate your support in helping me create a safe and cooperative environment for my class!”

Funded Nov 18, 2022Thank you for donating sight word books, decodable books and leveled reader sets to my class. The students learn 1-2 sight words a week. These books have helped them practice reading sight words that they learned repeatedly through these texts. The decodable books have helped them practice their decoding skills, (sounding out and blending the words).
The students enjoyed reading these books in their stations as well as during their free choice time. They enjoyed having a variety of books to choose from when they were at their stations. The students enjoyed reading individually as well as with partners. The white boards and magnetic letters that you donated to our class has also helped the students with reading as well as writing. It was interactive for them to help sound out words as they build it with the magnetic letters and move each letter as they sound it out. The white boards was a fun way for them to practice writing in a different way instead of always on paper. They enjoyed writing sentences on the white boards.
All the students are enjoying the new books because the books that we received for our class are for multi-level readers. All students are able to enjoy these books because they are all able to read the books that are just right for them. This helps them to build confidence and strive to read the books that are higher level.
The colorful baskets and containers has helped our class organize the stations and has made cleaning up easier for the students. The students enjoyed receiving smelly stickers to collect on their binders when they complete a lesson at a station or when they made good decisions in the classroom. They were proud to display the different stickers on their binders. We have used the paints for our science projects and other holiday activities.
Thank you for contributing to my classroom and helping to make a positive impact through your donation. We appreciate it very much. You have made our stations work more effectively!”
