Colors Colors - Soon to be Everywhere?

Funded Aug 3, 2014

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your generous donations. I am at a new school this year and work with 5th graders. The 5th graders have immensely enjoyed the resources. Students reacted surprised to the materials. When they walked in and saw all of the materials on the back table I heard comments like "Wow! Is that all for us?". "These supplies will help us to do more projects in school-- I love projects!". I smiled.

Pulling out our wonderful resources is truly a special occasion, and occasions students love. The card stock has been used to make cards for our troops in December, as well as for special occasions. For our morning work binders (covers and dividers). The coloring materials have been used in projects in and for the classroom, like creating figurative language posters. The playdough has been used for the class as a spelling station of "Spell-dough" where students get to actually create letters or write in the playdough their spelling words. For students who struggle with spelling, I allow them to use the playdough. These helped those kinesthetic learners see spelling and sound formations.

This project helped to create opportunities for my spatial and kinesthetic learners to develop skills they may not have done. These supplies are very special to us, and I thank you for your donations in helping my learners enjoy school more than they already do on a daily basis, and of course, help them grow to be the best them that they can be.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Douglass
