Marvelous Math!
Funded Aug 7, 2019I can't thank you enough for your support of the students in my kindergarten classroom. We have implemented a new math workshop format which requires my students to work in small groups with various math materials in order to reinforce math concepts. With the materials I purchased with your funding my students have been able to engage with each other in small groups in new and creative ways.
These materials have made a difference in their willingness to work on abstract math concepts with new materials that they did not have access to before.
Thank you again for your willingness to contribute to this project, it has had a definite and positive impact on my math instruction.”

Funded Mar 1, 2019Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Because of you my students have another way to access the curriculum. I have a very diverse classroom of students, many of whom do not have access to technology at home. Many are English Language Learners who require extra support in not only our curriculum standards but also in learning English. Our new iPads allow for another access point for these students. We are using them for special applications that help students learn English, practice early literacy skills and help students refine their math skills by increasing number sense. We use them almost every day to "find out more" during our kindergarten animal research projects and during literacy centers and choice time. Thank you again for providing us with this much needed technology. We are very appreciative.”

Funded Jul 22, 2018We are so happy with our new flexible seating choices in our classroom. The materials are bright and colorful and so inviting. Students are happy to have choices when it comes to getting their work done, and having low tables and comfy chairs makes everyone want to stay on task. The seating is especially useful during Reader's Workshop when kids are working on independent and partner reading. The big comfy pillows are perfect reading spots and are big enough for two friends to read and share their books together. These materials have made my new big and shiny classroom more comfortable and learning ready for everyone!”

Keep Me Organized, Help Me Learn!
Funded Aug 24, 2017I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and let you know what an impact that your donation has had on my teaching, but most importantly on student learning. We use all of our materials everyday to keep ourselves organized and easily available for us to access quickly. We haven't lost a single letter tile or dry erase marker since we've been using new seat pockets!
I love being able to roll our the student height chart stand for easy access to our pocket charts, we use the magnetic white board everyday to manipulate letter tiles, and learn to write our letters. I can move the stand anywhere in the room and because students can reach it easily it makes learning more accessible, it has become a literacy center more than once!
We so appreciate that you took the time to donate to our classroom, it's nice for our students to know that people care about them and their learning.”
