Diverse Read Alouds
Funded Aug 9, 2022Thank you so much for providing our classroom with diverse books. These books have main characters and story lines that the students were able to relate to. They learned to use their voice (after reading "You Have a Voice"). They learned to be kind (after reading "KINDergarten" and "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?"). They learned to be comfortable in their own skin (after reading "Our Skin"). And they learned to be whoever they wanted to be (after reading "Julian is a Mermaid").
These books did exactly what we had hoped. They created a space for conversations around student's identity, culture, and autonomy. Furthermore, they empowered students to reflect on what they can do as advocates and allies to those who are different from them as they learn about each other.
Thank you so much in supporting our classroom. The opportunities to hold these discussions amongst students will help foster kind, thoughtful and kind citizens in our future.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates and 7 other donors.Back to Basics
Funded Aug 9, 2022I am so grateful for your support in supplying our classroom with magnetic dry erase boards, magnetic letters, scissors, glue sticks, and pencils. This past school year, these materials were essential to the function of our classroom. The students have used the magnetic dry erase boards to improve their letter writing and draw pictures which support fine-motor development. The magnetic letters were used during small group to help students build and identify the letters in their name as well as support their phonics development in building and reading words. The scissors and glue sticks helped support our classroom projects such as our lanterns for Lunar New Year (the students loved making them!). Lastly, pencils provided students with the opportunities to draw pictures, write their names, practice their letter writing, share stories, and build confidence in their writing development journey. This past school year would have not been as magical without your support. Thank you so much!”

First Sensory, Then Focus
Funded Mar 26, 2022WOW! I am so thankful and filled with so much gratitude! I cannot wait to meet the needs of my students with the Play-Doh and trampoline. Many of my students have sensory needs and need more options for sensory output so that they can learn. I plan to implement the trampoline during our classroom community meetings and as an option in the calming corner. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for supporting my classroom! 💕”

Artists at Work
Funded Aug 23, 2021Thank you so much for choosing to support our classroom! Art is such an important part in a child's development. Art encourages self-expression, problem solving, teamwork, collaboration, confidence, autonomy, ownership, and increases self-confidence. Art leaves room for interpretation and allows each and every student to have a voice and express their selves in a way that they see fit.
Art is one of the subject areas that all of my students enjoy; it is where I see them shine - where I see they are happiest.
Thanks to you, we now have finger paint, finger paint paper, construction paper, paintbrushes and watercolor paper. The students love creating art and exploring the materials. Thank you so much!”

I Can Hear Clearly Now, The Headphones Are In!
Funded Aug 23, 2021Thank you so much for the headphones! We use them whenever we have computer time. They are very helpful for students to stay focused and on task with their own work on the computer. They love choosing which color they want to use for the day. The microphones allow students to also speak into it which has been helpful for some of the programs we use. I especially love that they are comfortable and just right for student's ears! Thanks to you, students do not have to compete with the sounds of the classroom as well as the sounds on the computer. We are forever grateful!”

Back to School Basics
Funded Aug 23, 2021Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! Thanks to you, our classroom has been supplied with glue sticks, pencils, erasers, scissors, chart markers, sheet protectors and laminating pouches among other things.
These classroom essentials have been fundamental to the success of our classroom. Without glue sticks, scissors and pencils, students would be unable to create artwork, write ideas and illustrate drawings that tell stories. Without chart markers, our class discussions would be missing a place to share ideas and our walls would be blank without anchor charts. Without laminating pouches, many of the centers we created to support student's learning would not be here.
We are very grateful and thankful for your support. Thank you for helping our classroom thrive!”
