• Math Games

  Funded Nov 13, 2024

  Thank you for contributing to the project "Math Games". I was able to provide dice, with storage containers for students to use. A favorite dice game that students enjoy is Farkle. With different versions of the game, students are able to practice their multi-digit addition and subtraction skills. I have seen such improvements on their mental math abilities with the use of the dice.

  I was able to also purchase a variety of Tpt resources that involve math. One topic of interest to my students was the Grinch Day activities we did for math.”

• Novel Study: the Wild Robot Trilogy

  Funded Aug 31, 2024

  Thank you for your donation to "Novel Study: The Wild Robot Trilogy". The books were a hit!

  After I read aloud the first book in the trilogy and we went to the movie theater to watch the adaptation, I offered multiple copies of the second book. There was a waiting list, even with 12 copies of the book. After students finished the second book, the third book was waiting for them.

  A couple of weeks later, I was able to share multiple copies of the second book in the trilogy to my 4th grade teaching partner. Her students were able to enjoy reading to books also.”

• Walking Classroom and Flashlight Friday Supplies

  Funded Nov 14, 2024

  Thank you for your donation to the "Walking Classroom and Flashlight Friday Supplies" project!

  Walking Classroom is a program where students listen to educational podcasts, while walking. Your donation helped me supply and replace earbuds for the Walkfit devices on which students listen to the podcasts and replace batteries.

  During Flashlight Friday, students find a comfortable place in the classroom to enjoy reading independently. The batteries and additional flashlights help keep this routine alive.”

• Odds and Ends - 2

  Funded Jul 9, 2024

  Thank you for your donation to the "Odds and Ends" project. I was able to supply my 4th graders with a pencil box full of supplies like the glue sticks, markers, pens, and erasers from this project. It's great for students to have their individual supply of materials to use.

  Students use one folder for their ELA paperwork and they keep their Social Studies/Science resources in the other. This helps them stay organized and efficient in finding their papers quickly.

  Thank you for helping make this year a successful one!”
