• Instructional Materials

  Funded Mar 6, 2023

  We have certainly loved the items from this project! They have been used to aid in daily learning, to provide accommodations to our special learners, and with daily practicing of our skills. Headphones, calculators, and batteries are essential tools these students need to be successful.

  Many of our students are not yet reading at grade level, so the headphones we received help them access their grade-level material and understand what is being asked of them. The batteries and calculators are important for our special learners who struggle with working memory and being able to calculate and hold numbers in their brains for a long enough period to complete some higher-level calculations and math problems.

  Thank you again for your kind donations towards helping my students succeed!”

• Letter Identification, Early Reading, Number Sense & Sensory Items

  Funded Dec 28, 2022

  Our students are loving these resources! We have used them to identify both capital and lowercase letters, write our upper and lower case alphabet in order, and learn our letter sounds, to reinforce these skills, and to strengthen the foundation for some students who have already mastered this and continue on to higher leveled skills.

  Our students love to be hands-on whenever possible and these materials have helped them learn using various visual, auditory, and tactile processing methods. Once again, we appreciate your donation very much and are grateful to everyone who aids in the success of our young learners.”

• Make Learning Fun & Engaging

  Funded Oct 8, 2021

  Thank you again for the generous donations so that our classroom could have the tools we need to make learning fun and engaging. Math can be so confusing and difficult for some- making it a disliked subject for years to come. By practicing these math skills in a fun, hands-on way, students can have positive experiences and outcomes with math. My students and I have enjoyed playing the math games that were bought- the bingo is always a hit! The sum swamp was also a big favorite; they ask to play every week and cannot wait to try all of them. We really appreciate being able to do this!”
