• Building Lifelong Readers Through Strong Phonemic Awareness

  Funded Sep 29, 2023

  Thank you so much for your kind and generous donations to my project. Using Donors Choose has been such a wonderful experience. Each year, it get s a little bit harder to reach students. This recent purchase has helped me make activities more engaging for students.

  Using these activities, will help improve instruction practices that address the acquisition of language, phonological and phonemic awareness, phonics and spelling, fluency, vocabulary, oral language, and comprehension that can be differentiated to meet the needs of individual students.

  Again, thank you for your generosity.”

• Morning Bins, STEM and Fine Motor Activities

  Funded Dec 29, 2022

  Thank you again for your donation. My students have already started to use our new stem activities. Certain days of the week, students come in and are able to grab a tub with a task card. This gives students immediate activities that need their concentration. It has been making our mornings calmer. One afternoon a week, students are able to work on a small group stem activity.

  The stem bins have been such an exciting addition to our classroom. Donors like you have had such an incredible impact on my students this year. Thank you!”

• My Big World with Clifford Magazine Subscription

  Funded Nov 8, 2022

  Thank you again for choosing our classroom to donate to. As part of our Social Studies curriculum, students learn about different holidays and traditions. Students decorated a person to show a holiday they celebrate. We shared activities the students participate in with their families. We discussed different foods and clothing people wear. In the pictures I've included, we were using the magazine to learn about and discuss holiday traditions. It was a perfect way to tie the two activities together.

  We look forward to all of the fun activities we have ahead with our magazine subscription. We've also been able to use the online component. Thanks again!”

• Power Pens

  Funded Aug 9, 2022

  Thank you again for your generous donations to my project. Students are using the power pens, books, and cards to increase both reading and mathematical fluency.

  Students use the books as part of literacy centers once a week. Sometimes they sit with a friend and work together. Other times they sit grouped by student need. They love the immediate feedback they get from the "magic" pen. We are lucky to have donors who care so much about the needs of children.

  Thank you again for generosity!”
