  • Looking and Feeling Cool in School!

    Funded Jan 29, 2025

    There are no words to say how grateful I am that this project has been funded!

    My students will be so excited to have brand new, cool looking, headphones to use during independent time in both reading and writing.

    The organizer will help keep my center games together and easily accessible for my students.

    Thank you so much, again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Licata

  • Class 224 Supplies Galore

    Funded Dec 16, 2022

    The completion of this project has helped our class immensely in rewarding the students for positive behavior with the prizes, giving each teacher a space to teach with the office chair, and restocking any supplies that was low.

    We started a project shining positive behavior with the students and it has been such a success. We have used the prizes to reward the student who wins the secret student ticket at the end of the week, and the variety has kept them motivated to keep going and do well for themselves and their peers.

    Our classroom would not be the place it is without your help. We thank you so much for everything!”

  • Digital Resource Fun for Technological Wizards

    Funded Mar 29, 2022

    With the help of your generosity, we were able to get resources for our classroom and our students in order to make lessons inviting, and our classroom beautiful!

    We were able to buy teacher-made resources to help support our students and give differentiated tasks to help meet the needs of each of our students. We cannot express how grateful we feel for all of the kindness you have shown to us and continue to do so.

    We look forward to continuing to show how our classroom and students are striving to be the best they can each day, and with your help, make it a fun, loving environment.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Licata

  • Color Our Way into 2020!

    Funded Mar 24, 2020

    Words cannot describe how happy you have made us. With what this past year has brought us, it was so wonderful coming back into the building with new supplies for our students.

    This amazing act of kindness has brought back hope and the realization that there are giving people in this world. We are so happy we get to be able to share this with you.

    We have set up our printer and use it to create differentiated and personalized charts for each of our students. We are currently waiting to use our rug as with COVID-19, we are unable to use rugs in the classroom.

    Again, we are beyond grateful for all of your support!”

  • Small Group Instruction is the Key To Success!

    Funded Jul 29, 2019

    We cannot begin to thank everyone for the wonderful resources that are now apart of our classroom. Our easel helps tremendously with small group instruction and our bins and magnetic letters along with our markers are great additions for our center work. Our students are able to use the magnets to create sight words and then use the markers to write the words on the easel. This gives our students multiple ways to see a word which will help them get a better understanding and with repetition, will help our students remember these important words. Class 224 is so grateful for your generosity. Have a wonderful holiday and winter break!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Licata

  • Modernizing Pedagogy

    Funded Nov 30, 2018

    There are not enough words to thank everyone who helped make this dream come true! Our students eyes lit up and continue to every day we get to use our supplies. They have become such a vital part of our school day and they have aided in helping our students with both their math and reading fluency.

    Along with practicing their skills, our students are able to conduct research and look up pictures/information at the touch of their finger! The use of the technology in the classroom has helped with our centers throughout the school day. Our students are now exposed to not only extra help through worksheets and workbooks, but they can also gain knowledge by using the technology that has now been given to us. The headphones are also such a vital tool within the classroom. They have helped my students be able to hear how a word is supposed to be said, and how to sound out, with asking them to repeat said sound. On our math resource app, the students are asked to watch videos about learning a new strategy to add or subtract.

    It is so important for a child's knowledge to grow within the classroom and with the use of these resources, we will be able to meet the many needs and learning styles of each of our students.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Licata

Our school uses reading websites, as well as math websites, such as Raz Kids and Zearn, to enhance our curriculum. These websites will read to the children, give them activities to play to enhance their reading and mathematical skills, and quiz them on a specific skill they have been taught. It will also do reteach lessons with them to go over completed tasks to make sure their skills stay sharp. We encourage our students to use these websites at home and in school during center activity time. Many of our students do not have the luxury of technology at home, so they rely on being able to use these websites in school. Without any technology in the classroom, however, our students cannot use these websites which puts them at a disadvantage. Having iPads and headphones in the classroom which could be used as a center, would benefit them in hearing how words sound, how to articulate their speech and conversation, and will give them extra practice in their math studies. These iPads would greatly benefit our struggling readers, ESL students, as well as the other students in the classroom with their reading, math, and conversational skills.
