    Thank you very much for your contributions to our classroom. It is so exciting that this project was funded and that I will be able to provide these materials to students -- just in time for the first week of school. Thank you for helping us start our school year off on the right foot!”

  • Books for Social Emotional Learning

    Funded Mar 30, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding this project. The students were thrilled to hear about all the new books they will be receiving -- one jumped up and started doing a TikTok dance in celebration. Another started singing "Thank you for sunshine, thank you for rain, it's a beautiful day!" You are helping to grow students' social-emotional muscles as they continue to deepen their understanding of how to be in community with each other again after the pandemic. We couldn't be more excited for all the learning these books will bring. Thank you!!”

  • Creating an Inspirational Classroom Library

    Funded Jun 14, 2022

    What an amazing literary environment you have helped to create! As a first year teacher, the part that was the most intimidating about stepping into my own classroom was building out my classroom library. I had a lot of goals -- I wanted books that would supplement our academic pursuits in science and social studies; I wanted to books that would be windows to other ways of life and mirrors to reflect students' lived experiences; and I wanted books that would help students build social-emotional skills. Your contributions have helped to accomplish all of this and more. Students have loved exploring the books. While all of the books have been well received by students, the most popular are "Pelé, King of Soccer," "Riley the Rare Red Panda," and "I love BOBA!" I'm glad that my students love boba as much as I do! We have also used books such as "" and "" as mentor texts for personal narrative writing.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ward

  • Books to Help Us Grow

    Funded Dec 8, 2022

    This project has been fully funded! Thank you so much for your dedication towards early literacy. I did not expect for us to be funded so quickly and am ecstatic that these books will be reaching my students in the very near future. Students are going to be filled with so much confidence once they have exciting books that are aligned with their reading levels. Thank you!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Ward
