Bringing Books Home!
Funded Oct 25, 2018Thanks to your generous gift of book totes, my students are able to take books home each week to share with their families. The books are just right books for them to read independently and confidently! They were so excited when they found out that they would be able to borrow books from our classroom library to take HOME! Each week students are eager to bring their bags back to trade for new books! I have noticed more engagement with families at home and an improved return of reading homework! I cannot thank you enough as in just a few short weeks I have witness what this new program is doing for my students! Your generosity will continue to impact my students this year and those to come in the upcoming years!”

Just a Little Space
Funded Nov 24, 2018Thank you so much for helping fund Just a Little Space ! Our privacy folders are used just about everyday by students. I have noticed students independently noticing when they are needing a tool to help them refocus in their own spaces. These dividers have also been helpful in our classroom during assessments to allow students to work at their own pace without worrying about where their peers might be on the same task.
The students were so excited when we opened the box and they wanted to begin using them immediately! Students even commented "Look we each can have our own office now!"
Thank you again for providing my students with a new tool and "office space" for them to work independently!”

Fostering a Love of Reading
Funded Oct 8, 2018Thank you for providing my students with rich texts that have engaged them in reading! The books have been used as interactive read alouds enabling students to connect meaningfully with the texts.
My students have enjoyed each book that has been shared and they are continuously referencing back to them. With the books students have been exposed to rich vocabulary and stories with powerful messages that they themselves connect to!
These books will continue to be used throughout this school year and years to come impacting growing readers! I am noticing that a love for reading is growing each day in my student and we thank you for contributing to that !”

This classroom project was brought to life by Charles Schwab and one other donor.Inquiring Minds Collaborate With Nearpod!
Funded Aug 24, 2017We are incredibly gracious for your donation to our project. Nearpod has been an exciting resource for us to use in class. We have been able to learn through this platform, show what we know, and collaborate together! We are having so much fun using Nearpod that we sometimes forget that we are learning.
What has been most exciting for my students is that they are able to independently able to view lessons at their own pace while boosting their confidence. Nearpod allows me to deliver content in exciting ways. I am able to engage them with videos, collaboration boards, interactive drawings, quizzes, polls, open ended response, and so much more.
Thank you so much for supporting public education and showing students that people care about their success!”

Fluency Fun!
Funded Feb 9, 2017We would like to thank you again for supporting our classroom! Our new materials are being used every single day!
The passages and timers are used by groups of students to practice fluency. Their confidence boosts each time they notice their time improving with the kid friendly and easy to use timers. The partner scripts are also being used each day. Students work together to complete the scripts and love to quiz each other with the ready made questions.
My students were excited to receive our new learning tools! Their faces lit right up when we opened them. I could hardly get them out of the box and organized before they were being used. I think it was powerful for them to know that even people outside of our school community care enough about their success! Thank you again from all of us!”

Soaring Readers!
Funded Oct 22, 2016Thank you so much for donating wonderful books to our class! These books have given my students the ability to read confidently on their individual reading levels.
My students are not only reading for enjoyment, but are also practicing critical reading skills. Some skills that my students have been able to practice include identifying text features, main idea, author's purpose, setting, characters, problem, solution, beginning, middle, and end. They are so excited to grow as readers with the new materials we have been given.
We are extremely grateful for each individual who made it possible for us to receive these books. The joy in our classroom was incredible the day that I told them that we had received a box of books from generous donors. We appreciate you and I thank you personally for showing my students that you care about their success!”
