This classroom project was brought to life by The State of Oklahoma.Readers Make Leaders: Picture Books to Engage Older Learners
Funded Sep 7, 2018Thank you so very much for the purchase of these wonderful picture books for my classroom. We have been using them during our morning meeting time every morning. I have loved to see the love for reading develop in my fifth graders and these picture books have been a driving force in that.
The students have loved getting to learn skills such as, predicting, main idea and details, visualizing, summarizing, and many more through these materials. It is much more engaging to use picture books like these to hook our young learners.
Without donors like you my classroom would look and feel a lot different. I appreciate your donations from the bottom of my heart. This teacher loves that I am able to share a sense of world wide community with my students all from seeing the blessings that come from Donors Choose and donors like you. I appreciate you more than you will ever know.”

American History Comes ALIVE!
Funded Dec 28, 2016Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for funding our project, "American History Comes ALIVE!" these new books will be used by our entire 5th grade during our small group reading discussions in class. It makes a HUGE difference when the students have rich quality texts to read. They love getting to learn about our Nation's history by reading these stories in class. They have been very interested and can't wait for us to use ALL of them. It means so much to me as a teacher to have complete strangers care enough about Public education that they donate their hard earned money on my classroom and my well deserving students. You will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Evidence Comprehension Kits for Curious Kids
Funded Dec 31, 2016Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for funding my Evidence Comprehension Kits for Curious Kids project. My students love to read all kinds of books, but sometimes they need help on specific comprehension skills. Using these kits I am going to be able to target specific skills such as inferencing, main idea and details, summarizing, characterization, theme, point of view, and analyzing the text structure. When students have these skills they are better able to break down the stories and it helps to open up a whole new world of reading for them. I am always amazed when complete strangers find it in their heart to give to my well deserving students. You will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Make Mrs. Marshall's Mathematicians Marvelous
Funded Dec 30, 2014Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for purchasing these Math small group materials. The students had no idea I had requested this project, so it was a total surprise and shocker when the boxes started arriving. There was excitement in the air every time I opened a new package and we discovered what was inside the box.
The students and I are using all of the books to help us in our small group teacher table sessions to better master our math curriculum. I rotate 5 groups of 4 through my teacher table every single day and the resources you have provided us are helping tremendously.
Now learning is no longer a tedious task. The kids are excited to come to small group and see the next activity I have chosen from our many Math curriculum books.”

Hooked on Books!
Funded Oct 21, 2014Thank you from the bottom of heart for purchasing these classic pieces of literature for my 5th grade students. The day the box was delivered to my classroom was thick with excitement. It felt like Christmas morning! The students were very eager to open the box and find the literature circle books. They were also thrilled to see that they came with a C.D. for a listening center.
We have used these stories to help supplement my teaching at the teacher table during center time. I am better able to keep the students engaged with these stories, and I am still able to teach them the comprehension skills they need. The students have loved discussing the books and are even wanting to read the books that I did not assign to them.
This project has helped me to foster a love for reading in my classroom. I am so thankful that there are people in this world who want to see my students succeed as much as I do. Without your help funding this project I am sure I would not have been able to reach my students the same way.”
