Get Thinking!
Funded Oct 13, 2016Thank you for your generous donation. The class enjoyed getting their own gears going with the activities and games. They were amazed at all the materials and each group took turns rotating through the stations that were set up.
Your donation will greatly impacted our learning. The groups were able to cooperatively work together to build with the gear sets. They were able to use their imaginations and think outside the box with the activities.
These items will also impact more students in the future classes.”

Level It!
Funded Jan 1, 2015My students were so excited when the boxes arrived with our Leveled Libraries. I couldn't wait to get the boxes open and get the books in the hands of my students.
By having this resource, my students are able to read books at their reading level. This has impacted their learning and most have met or exceeded their reading goal. This has helped build their confidence with reading and many love helping each other with the words.
My students are more engaged and love reading books that they can actually read. Thank you for helping engage my students in their learning experience.”

We Need iPad Minis!
Funded Dec 19, 2014My students were so excited when the box arrived with our iPad Minis. They couldn't wait to use the iPads. We had been talking about ways to use the iPads in class and they were excited.
By having this resource, I have been able to use the iPad as a work station. The OT suggested several apps that we have been using to help with letter tracking. The students can use the apps to practice writing words. They get started working on their own! Everyone wants a turn on the iPad!
My students are more engaged and love when it is their turn. Thank you for helping engage my students in their learning experience.”

A Mini for the Littlest Learners
Funded Dec 4, 2013My students were so excited when the box arrived with our iPad Mini. We couldn't wait to set it up and get to using the technology.
By having this resource, I have been able to use the iPad as a work station. Several students are working at the same time. The students can log on to our reading program (on their own) and get started working. Everyone wants a turn on the iPad!
My students are more engaged and love when it is their turn. Thank you for helping engage my students in their learning experience.”

Summer with Speakaboos
Funded Apr 28, 2014Words can not express my gratitude for your donation to my project. It is great to see that you took the time to think about my class. Learning does not have to end because the school year has ended.
The tools that you have funded will enable students to have access to an INTERACTIVE DIGITAL LIBRARY all summer long! They will be able to read along with the SPEAKABOOS program.
Thank you so much. I can't wait to tell my students the great news.”

This classroom project was brought to life by AKJ Books and one other donor.Extreme CCSS Math Makeover
Funded May 30, 2013My students were so excited when the boxes arrived with our materials. We have had fun using the materials during our Math lessons. I have enough counters and foam dice that each child can keep a set in his/her supply case.
By having these resources, I have been able to have materials ready for my students when they come to small group. I have used the Math stories during whole group instruction and it has generated Math conversations. My students love to listen to stories and love the books that were requested.
My students are more engaged and love the hands-on experiences that the manipulatives provide. Thank you for helping engage my students in their learning experience.”
