Funded Aug 13, 2021We are OBSESSED with our literacy centers in class 102! Students are able to use these centers independently during morning work, centers, and literacy time.
I have been able to support students with targeted and skills based lessons using these centers! Some students have even declared which games are their favorite.
Both my coteacher and I use these literacy games daily in our planning and teaching. We have also been able to share these games with other classrooms and students. Your donations have created a classroom with a "game for everything" or so it feels. By doing so, we are able to provided both guided and independent practice daily.”

Funded Aug 2, 2021Your donations to class 102 have been a key proponent in our classroom each day!

I am in shock to see how much these supplies have become necessities in our daily routine. I appreciate your kindness, especially during these times, to support our classroom family.

Funded Oct 28, 2020It is with a humble heart I am able to report the impact YOUR donations have made in our virtual classroom.
With the notebooks, whiteboards, markers, and your support, we are able to work on our ELA and Math work seamlessly. I was able to acquire enough notebooks for each subject for each student! We love taking out our notebooks and working together to write sight words. We also enjoy using our notebooks to draw, and label, our writing stories!
I cannot imagine a class without these supplies, and your efforts have allowed us to reach more of our potential as a class. I appreciate your time, your faith in me as an educator, and your kindness.”

Reading Tools in Ms. Qureshi's Reading Room
Funded Jan 30, 2019It is with immense gratitude that I report how much of an impact these resources have made on students I work with. I have been able to incorporate sight words in small group intervention and as a visual aid for my whole Group writing work! I am so happy to announce that students have been able to use these tools on their own, engaging in their classwork, and achieving academic independence that I strive to implement. Student confidence, alongside ample resources, have also made this latter portion of the year a fruitful one!
I am excited to continue use of these literacy games to help our students!”

Funded Feb 6, 2018We did it! With your help our students have seen a tremendous impact in their motivation to learn and proceed with the challenging curriculum of Kindergarten.
We were so excited to return from break and unpack all of our materials! We made an anchor chart to describe and name each tool. Arelis and I then taught management ways for us to share the materials with everyone.
We love how some friends feel comfort when laying on their belly as I read a special book of the week! Additionally, it helps our students feel confident when they are working.
Our fave? The wiggle chairs! We can twist as we think of special topics to write about. Students can even twist while they search for new words on our word wall!
We have been able to teach into the uses of each tool that was funded. We are halfway there to having a fully flexible classroom. Just like our students' individual needs, these tools have helped us create academic stations that students can choose from.
Thank you for believing in us!”

Keeping Track in KG
Funded Jan 28, 2017It is with immense gratitude that I am writing this letter! We are over the moon about our new tools that help us track our time. We have used the yacker tracker to help us use inside voices during social and academic times. Our time tracker has helped us learn to manage how we use our time during writing and math exercises! Additionally, the use of an auditory/visual learning system has helped our diverse learners feel welcome to manage their time and volume! We are working to foster student independence that will translate into skills outside of the classroom. We are taking special care of our new tools!”
