Funded Sep 6, 2018Oh wow! Where do I begin? I would first like to extend an enormous "Thank You" for being so gracious to me as you awaited the arrival of our "Thank You" package. The children were extremely excited to be a part of this entire project! They were so excited that they even wanted to include self portraits of themselves in a "Thank You" book! This was my first project and I was a bit dismayed in the beginning because I thought that my project wasn't good enough due to a long wait for funding. Oh but when I received the email that my project was fully funded, I felt so overjoyed! Imagine a crazy lady running around screaming with excitement. That was me! Upon receiving the resources, they were immediately introduced and implemented.
I am overwhelmed by the academic growth that is taking place in my classroom. Our new resources have really enhanced our small group time. My students are learning to transfer the knowledge, use the information in context, and analyze information. That is my desire for my students. The activities are engaging and exciting for them as well! They look forward to Smart Brain and Small Group time! It truly gives me life to hear and see that my students look forward to coming to school each day to learn. These activities forces higher order thinking for my students. They also give them an opportunity to share their learning experiences with each other. More than that, these resources enable me to take great anecdotal notes and provide consistent progress monitoring for my students.
DonorsChoose has been a blessing to me. It was getting extremely hard at home trying to find ways to hide my spending from husband on classroom materials. It had gotten so bad that I would have to make statements such as, "Honey, I have to make a run, or I donated some money for a good cause." (for my classroom). Your help really allowed me to provide intervention and enrichment to my students, and kept me from making so many runs to department stores. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! I love each and every one of you!”
