  • Calming Area

    Funded May 9, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation for our calming area in the classroom. My students were so excited when they see all of the new materials in my classroom! My students now have a safe place in the classroom to go and self manage their feelings. Thank you for the rug, emotion toys, posters, and fidget toys. Sometimes students need a place to calm down when they are having a difficult time. With all these resources, students are learning how to self manage their emotions on their own in a safe environment. These items are allowing that to happen. Thank you again for you support.”

  • Student Portfolios

    Funded May 10, 2023

    I would like to thank you for your support of the "Student Portfolios" project. It's important to give our students a way to showcase the work they've completed to their parents during open house. These portfolios give our students a place to organize and store their work throughout the year. When we have conferences, I can also go straight to the portfolios and share it with their parents. These portfolios are individualized, which gives our students their own personal space for storing their work. Thank you again for your generosity.”

  • Protecting Keepsake Projects

    Funded Apr 24, 2023

    I am very happy to tell to you that our classroom laminator, laminating pouches, and printer ink, have all arrived! I plan to laminate worksheets that I need and have my students use dry erase markers on them. It's long lasting because they can be reused for years! I also plan to laminate the sight words in our new ELA curriculum. We can use these for flashcards or to play memory card games, which my students enjoy very much.

    The laminator is going to be used for laminating special projects and artwork the students create throughout the year. This way, they can cherished for a long time.

My students are a group of magnificent first graders who are in a Mandarin Dual Language program. Every day they spend half the day in an English speaking classroom with me and the other half day with their Mandarin teacher. My first graders work very hard every day to learn all subjects in both English and Mandarin in order to be proficient in both languages, according to Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. My school is a Title I school, but students, families, teachers, and staff all work together to facilitate a better future for our students.
