This classroom project was brought to life by General Motors and 5 other donors.Building Blocks for Reading Success
Funded Feb 25, 2021The materials that I received from your generous donations have been amazing! All of my students have made progress in phonemic awareness, rhyming, and in reading readiness skills. Some students are already beginning to read and write! The colorful materials have worked to make learning fun and exciting. My students enjoy playing the games and learning while they are engaging with them. I was able to use the materials during distance learning with my previous students and I have been using the materials in small group and whole group instruction in my current classroom setting. I have even been able to use the materials with the students I service for intervention after school. I look forward to seeing more progress in my students and I will continue to use the materials to help build my students' reading success! Thank you, donors! My kindergarteners and I truly appreciate your help!”

Magnetic Dry Erase Board Magic
Funded Nov 28, 2020My students have enjoyed using the dry erase boards, dry erase markers, and dry erasers during distance learning. My students have been able to use the materials to practice spelling words, practice printing letters correctly, practice spelling high frequency words, and have even used them to practice solving math word problems!
My students were very excited when they first saw the materials. They enjoy using the materials because they have helped make practicing important skills less threatening. They are actually learning while they practice!
I plan to continue to use the materials with my students as they practice using circle maps and bubble maps to organize their ideas for writing. I also plan to use them to help students practice their rhyming skills, writing and representing numbers, and even to practice solving addition and subtraction math problems.
My students and I will continue to use the materials for daily practice of spelling and writing in our classroom. They have really made learning more fun, enticing, and magical. My students and I appreciate your donations and we thank you for supporting our classroom!”

Marvelous Mathematicians In Progress!
Funded Oct 22, 2020My students just love their magnetic math materials and answer boards! We use them daily to practice solving addition and subtraction problems, as well as math word problems. I can honestly say that math time is a very fun and engaging time for my students now!
When my students first received their materials, they were curious and excited to begin using them! Math time used to be less appealing since it was right after lunch. But now, math time has become a highlight in our daily virtual Zoom meetings! My students adore using the magnetic counters on their answer boards to solve problems and are curious to share their answers with me and each other!
Overall, I have seen great improvement in my students' number sense and math abilities; their growth was also evident in their recent math assessments. From writing numbers and number equations, to solving math problems correctly, I know my students have truly become marvelous mathematicians! I will continue to use the math answer boards in my instruction and practice of future math concepts and skills. Your donations have made this all possible and my students and I absolutely appreciate your generosity!”
