Ms. W's Future Writers of America
Funded May 4, 2016I want to start off by saying thank you so much for caring about our classroom, and donating these valuable reading and writing materials! It is because of you that we are able to have fun while learning to read (readers theater) and write ( writing center, and blank books). My students were so excited when they saw the new materials!
My students and I have been using the writing center during stations. We use it during small group, and it helps us organize our thoughts while we are learning about different types of writing. The students favorite writing seems to be opinion writing.
My students and I also use the readers theater box during circle time. The readers theater box contains short plays that we can act out with our puppets. In our picture, we were performing the play, Show and Tell. Not only is the readers theater box of goodies fun, but it helps the students practice their sight words, as well as decode words using letter sounds.
The next step in our writing project is to write our very own book about our favorite animals. We are going to use the blank books you donated, and publish our very own book. We will invite our parents to come to the publishing party so they can enjoy our writing.
Thank you again for being so generous and supporting our classroom. It is a wonderful feeling to know that we have people who care about our students, and want them to succeed!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Nigro

Funded Aug 5, 2014We wanted to express our gratitude for the amazing books you all so graciously donated to our classroom. When the students saw the Biscuit books and the Dr. Seuss books, they were so excited! Dr. Seuss and Biscuit are quite a hit in our classroom.
We use these books every single day during literacy stations. The children love going to the listening center because they get to read these books. They are following along with the books. This has increased their sight word recognition, their ability to retell stories with key details, and their ability to identify rhymes.
This project has been a blessing because I have noticed such a change in the students desire to read. The students are able to follow along while being read to, and because they are able to recognize sight words they are able to read other emergent texts in the library.
Thank you again for your generosity. We truly appreciate it.”
With gratitude,
