Mrs. Melo's Magnificent Materials Makeover

Funded Nov 13, 2024

Your generosity has significantly impacted my fourth graders on many levels. First and foremost, my students were so thrilled to work with accountability partners to improve their math facts. Being able to meet with their partner to work on improving their multiplication and division facts daily has created a team building connection. The donated flashcards and timers allow students to practice their facts and then complete a fast fact sheet within 5 minutes. Their math facts improvement has already been evident.

In addition, students have been working on their independent and small group reading skills thanks to your book donations. Students were so excited to see the new titles join our classroom library. In small groups, students will be reading the "I Survived" series and comparing and contrasting the different historical events. Having the exposure to significant events that have happened in history broadens their understanding of the past. It also provides accounts on how to overcome adversity and challenges, which so many of my students need. Without your assistance, the Magnificent Makeover would never have been made possible. Thank you again!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Melo
