  • Tech Tools Too!

    Funded Jun 3, 2020

    Thank You! Possible rolling school closures, extended time away from having a teacher in front of them, and not being able to share technology due to covid guidelines make access to technology vital. Your gracious gift will help my students during these uncertain times by offering the opportunity to make the school/home transition smoother.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Stone

  • Tech Tools!

    Funded May 7, 2020

    We did it! You did it! I can not express adequately in words my emotions. These are hard times economically for all of us, and you have just reaffirmed the truth that was are in this together. Your gracious contribution will enrich the lives of some bright, eager, precocious young people.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Stone

  • Readers Are Leaders!

    Funded Nov 26, 2019

    Your generosity humbles me. The influx of independent reading materials your gift makes possible will inspire reluctance readers to embrace the written word. Kids who read more lead lives of enrichment, become facile writers and communicators, and grow in both heart and mind. I look forward to your gift helping me make leaders out of readers.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Stone

  • Helping Brains Pop!

    Funded Sep 9, 2019

    Thank you so much! Your gracious giving will liven up the lessons that my students are exposed too, thereby increasing engagement and leading to better outcomes. Thanks to you, my lessons will really "pop", and I can not wait to share the news with my class that we were funded!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Stone

  • Happy Feet!

    Funded Sep 27, 2018

    If there is one thing that I have learned over 17 years as an elementary school teacher, is that young bodies need to move. The fourth graders I am honored to share a classroom with are asked almost daily to do some pretty intensive academic work that requires them to be able to attend for large chunks of time. Your donation to the "Happy Feet" project helps these young scholars be able to move their bodies while writing an essay on what it means to have a great heart, or analyzing "The Red Wheelbarrow" by Carlos Williams, or tackling a tricky word problem. Because of the bouncy bands, the fourth graders of room 116 can stretch themselves academically.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Stone

  • Touching the Heart Through Literature

    Funded Sep 14, 2017

    My heart as been touched by your generosity. With your help I am now able to touch the hearts of my students through literature. My kids will be so happy to hear we are getting the books, and I can wait to give them the news. Thank you so much!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Stone

Our fourth graders need these novels because we are piloting an innovative reading curriculum entitled Wit and Wisdom. I want to touch the lives of my fourth graders through exposure and study of rich literature, rather than just reading "selections" from a basal reader. The tagline for Wit and Wisdom is "books, not basals," which speaks to me as a teacher and lover of books, a passion I want to share with my fourth graders. Through reading books like Love That Dog by Sharon Creech in module one, Hatchet in module 2, and exploring non-fiction sources such as Circulatory Story and Mountains I feel confident that I will be better able to instill a love of literature while also teaching the skills needed for the future leaders of tomorrow to succeed.
