Bridging Learning With Anchor Charts
Funded Nov 29, 2022Thank you for your donation to Escuela Vieau. Our student's have used the chart paper to create anchor charts and enhance their everyday learning and capture their thoughts, ideas, and all the learning that occurs in the classroom.
Our school has a large English Language Learners population and in our bilingual classroom we used the chart paper to further develop their multilingual skills by referencing key vocabulary and academic language. Our multilingual learners used the chart paper to visually bridge the two languages through contrastive analysis.
The chart paper was also used as a teaching tool to helps students visually capture important information, differentiate instruction and engage students in the lessons. Thank you-gracias for helping us provide access to learning materials. The chart paper has positivetly impacted teaching and learning at Escuela Vieau. Thank you so much for your contribution!”

Funded Sep 26, 2020Thank you-Gracias for your generous support. There are no words to describe the smiles in my student's faces when they received their magnetic board, markers and magnetic alphabet. Your donation allowed me to continue teaching virtually and encouraged my students to continue exploring and learning from home. My students use the magnetic letters to write their name, write words, draw and practice the alphabet. The magnetic board has become a fundamental part of our virtual classroom, and we use it daily to create and learn. Thank you for your support! I appreciate your commitment to the students in my classroom.”

Funded May 5, 2020Thank you-Gracias for your generous support. There are no words to describe the smiles in my student's faces when they received their care baskets. I hope you enjoy the photos! The care baskets were filled supplies, learning materials, magnetic board, alphabet and bilingual books. Your donation allowed me to purchase bilingual books for my students. As you may know, many of my students and families do not have access to many books and bilingual books are very difficult to find. Some of the books in the project included traditional folktales, First 100 words and other favorites; all in Spanish and English. The books encouraged my students to continue exploring and learning from home. I used the books to supplement the activities and lessons I delivered during distance learning. Thank you-Gracias for your support.”

Funded Aug 21, 2019Thank you-Gracias for your donation. With your generosity, my students now have access to engaging materials for hands-on learning this school year. My young explorers use the light table for exploring as they use all their senses for learning. They use the light table manipulatives to learn about colors, letters, numbers, and shape in a new and engaging way. The light table is truly one of their favorite learning centers to explore each week.
The dinosaur bones matching and measuring set have also complemented our exploring centers. Students have been learning about matching and measuring skills, while at the same time grown their interest for dinosaurs and scientist concepts. Thank you for supporting my classrooms and my amazing bilingual explorers. We appreciate your commitment to the students in my classroom.”

Funded Feb 14, 2019Thank you-Gracias for your support and generosity. Your donation to my Social Emotional Learning project has contributed to my student's social emotional learning and classroom environment. Your donation helped transform our safe space in the classroom, which is a thinking and calming space for students' self-regulation skills. This area is also the classroom library and is a safe environment for students to play, learn and grow. The books and social emotional materials really complimented our social emotional/ safe place area.
Our students have used the materials and safe place area to understand and manage emotions, gain empathy for others, and build relationships. The variety of social emotional books along with the tree bookshelf has made this area the student's favorite place in the classroom. The books, mood and emotions mirrors, match up puzzles have helped the students learn about emotions and gain self-control. Thank you for supporting the social emotional and academic growth of my students.”

Funded Jan 8, 2019Thank you for your support and generosity. Your donation to my Play & Organization project, has contributed to student learning classroom environment. Thank you for the classroom materials and the two shelves for organization. We really needed our shelves replaced, as they were broken and worn out with the years. We use the classroom shelves to organize our classroom materials and play areas. This has really complemented our classroom environment and learning.
Thank you for the color copy paper as we constantly use it for communication with parents and families. Every month we use the color paper for our bilingual classroom newsletter. The people and face shape templates have enhanced our Social Emotional learning in the classroom. Students have used these templates to learn about themselves, their feelings, and how they are all unique and special. The students use the dough rollers when they learn and explore in the play dough center. All the classroom materials have enhanced our learning, classroom environment, and have facilitated communicating with families. Thank you for your support.”

Funded Apr 25, 2018Thank you-Gracias for your donation and for supporting my Bilingual Engineers. I still recall the student's expressions and their excitement as we opened the boxes with the new classroom materials. My tiny engineers use the materials to explore engineering concepts, expand their creativity, and make creations out of a variety of materials. My students use the house building kit, architect fairy tale engineering kit, and Bristle Builders to build structures and houses. We also use the fairy tale kit and integrate it with literacy, as we explore and build the homes of traditional tales such as the Three Little Pigs and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The project also included a Community Building set that consist of blocks, vehicles, and buildings that make up a community. The students truly enjoy their new classroom materials.
Thank you for supporting my young engineers. These tools will assure our future bilingual engineers have the tools they need to be successful creative thinkers. Gracias!”
