All on Board!
Funded Oct 7, 2018Your donations have made our kindergarten classroom a .pre engaging learning environment. The easel we were able to get has aided in giving us another area where students can write and practice and create beautiful anchor charts and hang a pocket chart for word families. The books and whisper phones have been an amazing addition to our library for literacy centers. Students love the new books and enjoy reading to themselves with the whisper phones. They can hear themselves whisper read while others work and without disruptions.”

Lively Literacy
Funded Dec 20, 2016My students were so excited as we opened the box and they saw all of the literacy centers and tools! We had previously been using a lot of pencil and paper centers that were not nearly as fun or engaging as the ones purchased through this project. In addition, we were unable to use our ipads for reading and phonics games because we were lacking head phones. Technology is huge for today's generation and I can see kids learning while using the ipads and not disrupting the learning of others around them. My students absolutely love the fishing for sight words game! It's wonderful because it's an activity that is not only teaching them their sight words, but they're getting social skills in the process! My kids' sight word fluency has increased as well as their foundational literacy skills like consonant blends, rhyming, and beginning and ending sound identification. Because of your generous donation, my students are on the fast track to literacy success! They're not just learning, they're having fun! I'm holding them accountable by using notebooks to record their center work.
My next steps are to obtain more math centers and materials so that my students will be getting a balanced learning experience in the classroom.”
