  • Books Make the World Go 'Round

    Funded Aug 10, 2017

    This is just a small token of my appreciation for your generous donation to my classroom. My students love reading like no other class in this school. They fight over their favorite books and they won't stop talking about the books they are reading.

    We received the books in September and have been loving them ever since. My students cherish the books and you can even find them giving hugs to their favorites. Not only do they love reading, but they also have made so much growth as readers. My teaching has not changed drastically so the difference is really in the books. Because they love the books so much, they are more motivated to figure out the words and read what is happening. It has been truly amazing to watch. The I Spy and Biscuit books have gotten my struggling readers engaged and excited about reading. All my kids love the superhero books- They try to borrow all the books from that basket when choosing books each week!

    I cannot wait to see this happen for years to come. Without your help, my students would never have had these great books. I just couldn't do it without you.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Grace

  • Crack Open a Brand New Book

    This is just a small token of my appreciation for your generous donation to my classroom. My students love reading more than other classes I've taught. They fight over their favorite books and they won't stop talking about the books they are reading. They bring books from our library to share along with books from home. We have a true culture of readers.

  • Special Seating for Comfortable Learners

    Funded Aug 31, 2010

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom. The chairs that you donated have helped make my classroom cozy and comfortable every single day. No matter how difficult the content seems, students are able to grapple with it because they feel right at home. They use them most during independent work time. It gives them a chance to work separately from their table while still being comfortable.

    We received the chairs in September and have been using them ever since. My students cherish the time they spend in the chairs and I know they love them. I set up a routine so each student definitely gets a chance to use the chairs.... they are always in high demand. Without your help, my students would never have had these resources, which might not seem vital to many other people, but truly do make a difference.

    Without donors like you, thousands of classrooms in the United States would go without important resources.”

  • Enthusiastic Classroom; Missing One Piece

    Funded Aug 30, 2009

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my classroom. The projector that you collectively funded enabled me to use a Smartboard in my classroom. The Smartboard has revolutionized my students' learning. It is everything I thought it would be and more!

    My students are engaged 100% of the time during instruction. In the past, my students have never learned how to count coins so quickly: With the Smartboard technology, my instruction is clear so students can understand the skip-counting concept with greater ease, AND manipulating the coins around the screen is so fun for students that they all want a turn! In writing, my students get to edit and revise their OWN writing on a projection of their work. Students are ecstatic when their piece is the one displayed. During morning meeting, we highlight words in the poem of the week to demonstrate how many words they actually CAN read. We also scan images of our Weekly Reader current events magazine to facilitate an in-depth conversation about the content.

    The Smartboard has saved me time AND increased my students' achievement because I am able to focus more on their individual learning needs.

    I cannot express how thankful I am that my students have this technological opportunity at such a young age. Together, we are truly leading my students to achieving their greatest academic potential. ”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Grace
