Funded Dec 17, 2022Here at Joseph Metcalf School in Holyoke, MA, we are working diligently to instill in our students a love for learning and reading. Reading is used daily. We hope that they would find purpose and engage in phonics and literacy activities.
During literacy centers we now, THANKS to YOUR DONATIONS, have colorful cardstock to create fun, visually attractive, and organized literacy centers. Those cardstock packets are being shared among 3 teachers to be used in our English and Spanish classrooms.
We also received bracelets and stickers to motivate our students to want to read. They all say special, positive messages and we hope they will really believe the words written on these bracelets and stickers. We believe in them and want them to be able to believe in themselves. These stickers are extra special because they are in Spanish. It isn't easy to find Spanish stickers around here. As if stickers, bracelets, vivid colored cardstock wasn't enough, we also got finger lights to help students focus on each word and line as they read!
We are so grateful and can't wait to be able to use these in the classroom.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Silva
