Funded Dec 4, 2023Words cannot express how much you have helped me to create a classroom full of color for my students! Since many of my students come from low-income homes and are new to the country with limited resources, it can really be a struggle to provide all the basic supplies they need to be motivated to learn and work. The supplies you have granted (markers, scissors, and colored paper) have truly made our charts, resources, and project pop with color. As an unexpected positive consequence, my 6th graders were able to practice cutting paper and adding dimension to their projects, which I didn't realize they needed extra practice with, and would have never known had I not had the classroom scissors for them to use!
Professionally, I have been using the Spanish Book to help myself (a non-spanish speaking teacher) learn how to better communicate with my newcomers and English Language Learners.
All of my students and I are forever grateful for your impact in our community.”
With gratitude,
