  • Small Group Reading

    Funded Aug 20, 2024

    The small group reading materials have been a huge help in the classroom. I have been able to use them with all of my students. They are all working at different levels and I have been able to meet them where they are at and help them grow. They look forward to coming to small group time because they know that they are going to be using tools that are useful for them. The magnet letters are great for building CVC words and practicing our phonics work. The fluency strips have helped improve students confidence and their reading skills.”

  • Writing Tablets

    Funded May 15, 2024

    The writing tablets have been a huge hit in the classroom! Students love to use them during recess. They are very useful during instruction, too. They provide an alternative to dry erase boards and markers. There is less mess and less odor from the markers! We have used them during math, reading, science, and recess! They have also been used as an incentive or a "cool down corner" tool. They are highly sought after and provide a great source of motivation for my students.

    Thank you for your support by supplying us with these tablets!”

    With gratitude,
