Counting Collection Library
Funded Sep 9, 2024We greatly appreciate the support in bringing physical items to better understand math in our classrooms. The students have been able to use the donated items for counting collections which has deepened their number sense. As a result, their conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts has been positively impacted.
They were very eager to work with applicable items such as money, beads, and fraction pieces. They were able to answer additional questions about how many wholes were represented in their collection and the monetary value of their collection.
Next, thanks to your generous donations, students will set up 'shops' and have other students 'purchase' items with a specific budget in order to work with decimals and continue to work with whole numbers while working with physical bills and coins.”

This classroom project was brought to life by United Airlines and one other donor.Reading to Grow!
Funded Oct 11, 2022My students and I are very grateful for your donations and making a comfortable and attractive reading area possible. Our classroom library section also serves for small group instruction where students are able to work in a more comfortable seating place while working on their reading comprehension and reading fluency. Adding comfortable seating to the area became a huge incentive for students to bring their reading logs back completed and signed. My students feel rewarded when they can take a break from sitting at their desks and read in a more welcoming and cozy spot. It has also improve my students' sense of responsibility, as I encourage demonstrating good care for our classroom materials in order to earn time to read and work in our cozy library. We appreciate your support in making reading fun and rewarding.”
