Little Learners Love To Read and Do Math
Funded Apr 16, 2014Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. My scholars were so excited when they learned that we would be receiving math games, a listening center, magnetic letters and sensory balls. These materials have been a great resource for my scholars to reinforce concepts taught during instruction. The math center games have allowed the scholars to hone their math skills while having fun at the same time. The listening center has helped my highest scholars improve their reading fluency while helping the lowest scholars obtain a better understanding of what good fluency sounds like. The sensory balls have allowed scholars with sensory needs to become better focused and engaged during instructional periods. Scholars who have used the magnetic letters have shown an increase in their abilities to segment and build words.
My scholars are so grateful to you for your donation and have expressed their gratitude many times while using the donated resources. I am grateful to you as well and I have found that the materials received with your help have boosted my teaching in many ways. I am now able to provide differentiated materials for my scholars to help them succeed in the classroom and prepare for first grade. I feel that with these materials I am better able to assist the needs of all of my scholars as a result of the funding of this project. I just wanted to again express my thanks and gratitude to you and I hope that you know what an impact you have made on not only my teaching but on the educational experiences of my scholars.”

Funded Feb 11, 2014Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in helping our Kindergarten classroom reach our goals! My scholars were thrilled when they found out that our classroom would be receiving an iPad. They were even more excited when the iPad finally arrived. My scholars remarked how wonderful and nice it was of all of you to donate materials to our class. All 29 of my scholars have said how fun and enjoyable their learning experience has been with the help of the iPad.
My scholars have used the iPad in a variety of ways ranging from learning ABC's, practicing handwriting, continuing and reinforcing math skills such as addition and subtraction, as well as general fun activities. With the help of certain application on the iPad, my scholars have shown great gains and improvements in areas which they previously struggled. Many of my scholars benefit from enrichment activities that they are able to complete using the help of the iPad. Scholars have used story applications which have increased their abilities to read fluently and use expression in their reading. Scholars knowledge of sight words and basic comprehension skills have all shown improvement as well due to your generosity.
The impact that you have had on these scholars will resonate with their throughout their educational careers and both myself and my scholars are grateful to you for the kindness you have shown our classroom through your donations.”
