  • We Love Listening to a Great Story

    Funded Dec 29, 2023

    Thank you for all of your generous donations! The students are truly enjoying the personal CD players and headphones. During group rotation, the listening center has become a new favorite. The children are working on their listening skills and enjoying a large variety of stories of their choice.

    I am so thankful that with donors like you, I am able to instill the love of reading and the love of great stories into these first graders and the many classes to come. Thank you again for all of your generous donations.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Cieslak

  • Bright, Clean, Beautiful Classroom Seating

    Funded Sep 15, 2014

    Thank you so much for your generous donations! The children were so excited to receive the new carpet. It is bright, clean, and beautiful! We do spend more then half of the school day on our new rug. We start our day on the rug with our morning meeting. Then we begin our Language Arts Block on the rug. After recess we walk into the classroom and right to the rug for Story Time. Later we have our Math Meeting on the rug. After lunch again we walk right to the rug. Finally we wrap up with a review of our day, you guessed it, on the rug! So as you can see the rug makes a big difference to the little people in Room 5.”

  • Music Here, Music There, Music, Music Everywhere!

    Funded Jan 28, 2012

    I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your generous donations. As you can see from our pictures we have a very busy, active, smart, educational and fun filled class. We sing and move daily. We also have also learned songs for almost every holiday, color, season, math fact and grammar rule. We also enjoy listening to classical music during quiet work time.

    Now we are able to access any one of the hundreds of songs at the touch of a button. The speaker system that goes along with the Ipod has a great sound and is easy to use!

    Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Cieslak

  • Literacy, Technology and the Great Outdoors!

    Funded Jan 17, 2012

    Thank you all so much for your generous donations to our classroom project. We received the umbrella within a week of the project being funded. Then we got the notebook the next week. The children were so excited!

    Our class, parents, siblings, and other classes can be found daily enjoying the shade under our umbrella. The notebook is a big hit with first graders. They are working quickly and on their best behavior when they know we will have time to work and play on the notebook.

    Thank you again from the bottom of all our hearts!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Cieslak

Welcome to First Grade! We spend most of our day on the carpet. We learn, discuss, read, sing, use manipulatives, and engage with our friends. We really could use a new, bright, clean carpet. Thank You!
