Have You Opened Up a Good Book? We Need More!
Funded Apr 23, 2023We were so excited to receive our package of books for our project "Have You Opened Up a Good Book?!". The students helped me open the packages when they arrived and we went through the boxes looking at every book we received. We voted to decide which book we would read first.
I wish you could have seen to smiles on each one of my students faces when I pulled the books one by one out of their boxes. We spent the next few days reading and rereading our new books. My students have enjoyed the books as much as I have. They loved going to the reading baskets that housed our new editions. The students have enjoyed exploring the different characters and settings.
At the end of the year, the students were able to choose from some of their favorites to take home and add to their personal libraries. They were so excited to call these books their own now.”

Classroom Comfort
Funded Sep 6, 2022My students and I were so ecstatic when our rug arrived. The rug that we received adds color to our classroom and allows us to learn together and read books in a comfortable place. Every day the rug is used throughout the day. When I teach a lesson, the students gather together in their rug spot and are able to focus on the board. Having the rug allows all students to be closer to the board.
The rug also has a perfect amount of spots for each student. The kids love laying down on it and reading here when it's their turn. We have a schedule when students are allowed to sit or lay down on the rug during independent reading.
We are also using the small vacuum to keep our rug as clean as possible. At the moment I vacuum it daily, but the kids want to take turns; perhaps it will be one of our jobs this year at the end of the day.
We cannot thank you enough for helping fund this project.”
