Marvelous Math Fact Fluency Materials Needed
Funded Nov 15, 2023I am thrilled to share how your generous contributions have significantly enhanced our classroom experience. The new materials, including pocket folders, Ziploc bags, laminating pouches, copy paper, pencils, markers, and fluency books, have been met with great enthusiasm. We recently launched a "Fluency Library" project to improve reading skills. Each student received a pocket folder to organize their fluency passages and activity cards, laminated for durability. Ziploc bags allow students to take their fluency books home, encouraging extra practice. The copy paper, pencils, and markers were essential for printing and annotating passages, making the reading practice interactive and fun.
When the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was palpable. They eagerly personalized their pocket folders and enjoyed the colorful, engaging activities. We are now focusing on peer-to-peer reading sessions to enhance reading skills and build confidence. Moving forward, we plan to introduce a "Fluency Challenge," where students set personal reading goals and track their progress. Your support has truly transformed our reading program, and we are excited to share more updates as we progress. Thank you for your continued investment in our students' education.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Young Sheldon on CBS and 3 other donors.Stupendous Students Need Super Supplies!
Funded Apr 6, 2023The new resources, generously provided by our donors, have significantly enriched our classroom experience. The inclusive supplies, consisting of paper, pencils, dry erase boards, and markers, have been integrated into various aspects of our daily lessons. One specific project that showcased the versatility of these materials involved a collaborative writing assignment. Students utilized the provided paper and pencils to brainstorm ideas individually, and then, on their dry erase boards, they crafted and revised their narratives collectively. This not only enhanced their writing skills but also fostered teamwork and creative expression.
When the students first saw the materials, their reactions were filled with excitement and gratitude. The prospect of having their own supplies, including a dedicated writing utensil and personal dry erase board, created a sense of ownership and empowerment among the students. The donors' support not only fulfilled practical needs but also conveyed a message of care and investment in their education. Moving forward, the next steps for our students in the current classroom lesson involve using the provided resources for ongoing assessments in both math and literacy. The dry erase boards will be particularly instrumental in facilitating interactive and dynamic assessments, allowing for real-time feedback and collaborative problem-solving. This personalized approach to learning is made possible by the thoughtful contributions of our donors, and we are eager to continue leveraging these resources to enhance the educational journey of our students”

Captivating Classroom Library
Funded Nov 17, 2019By providing my class with books we've had the privilege of expanding our small classroom library. We are a differentiated reading school, so our students are taught reading based on their individualized reading abilities. We received level books which allow them to read appropriate books during independent reading time. They have expanded their vocabulary, and their love of reading as a result of us acquiring these books. We've also created a classroom reading nook where they can further enjoy their books.”
