"Build My Book: Creating Stories That Matter"
Funded Dec 4, 2024I am incredibly grateful to all of the generous donors who have helped us create reading materials tailored specifically to meet the needs of my students. Your contributions have allowed us to design resources that are not only engaging but also aligned with each student's unique learning style, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive. The materials we've created together are giving my students the support they need to develop their reading skills at their own pace, in a way that feels relevant and exciting to them.
Thanks to your support, we've been able to provide customized reading materials that are empowering my students to build confidence, deepen their understanding, and develop a love for reading. These personalized resources are making a lasting impact on their learning journey and helping to foster a more inclusive, supportive classroom environment. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and for helping us make such a meaningful difference in the lives of these young learners. Your investment in their education is truly invaluable!”

Funded Apr 18, 2024I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the supplies—glue sticks, paint sticks, felt paper, a rug for our library and play/calm area, and laminating sheets with card stock—that have significantly enhanced our classroom experience this year. These materials have not only supported our creative projects but have also played a vital role in the development of our special sight word program.
The glue sticks and paint sticks were instrumental in our various projects, allowing students to engage actively with their creative ideas. Many of my students face challenges with fine motor skills, and the glue and paint sticks were the ideal size for them to handle easily. Each time they used these supplies, I saw their confidence grow as they transformed their thoughts into tangible creations. This hands-on experience fostered a deeper understanding of the concepts we were exploring, making learning both fun and impactful. The felt paper was a fantastic addition to our projects. Students loved experimenting with the vibrant colors and textures, which allowed them to express their creativity in new ways.
The rug we introduced for our library and play/calm area has created a welcoming space for students to relax, read, and collaborate. It has transformed our classroom atmosphere, offering a comfortable setting where students can gather for story time, share their work, or engage in quiet reading. The rug has not only encouraged a love for books but also provided a safe haven for students to calm down and reflect. This has been particularly beneficial for those who need a moment of quiet to regroup, fostering emotional well-being and focus.
In conjunction with our sight word program, the laminating sheets and card stock were invaluable in helping us create durable, engaging learning materials. We were able to design books individualized for each student based on each of their unique interests. The books featuring sight words they were learning, and the ability to laminate these creations ensured they could be used repeatedly. Each laminated book became a personalized resource, allowing them to practice sight words at their own pace and in a way that felt meaningful and engaging.
The impact of these supplies extends beyond the immediate benefits of creating projects and materials. They have cultivated a collaborative spirit within our classroom. Students have learned to share supplies, provide constructive feedback, and celebrate each other's creativity. This environment of support and encouragement has made a remarkable difference in their confidence levels and social skills.
In conclusion, the supplies you provided have greatly enriched our classroom experience. The supplies have supported creative expression, enhanced our special sight word program, and fostered a sense of community among my students. I am incredibly grateful for your generosity and support, which have made a lasting impact on our learning environment. Thank you for helping us create a vibrant space where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I look forward to continuing to build on these successes in the future.”
