• Little Readers for Little Readers 2!

  Funded Mar 9, 2011

  The kids are LOVING their new books. The other day for recess they begged me just to read them (how could I not accept that?)! I can't tell you how happy that made me feel.

  Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to feel confident in their reading! Without these new books my students were struggling and now they are flying through the pages and increasing their ability levels!

  I can't thank you enough for helping my students receive their new readers! Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!”

• Let's Learn and Move to Get The Wiggles Out!

  Funded Mar 4, 2011

  My students are elated! Even though it is still snowy we can still have physical recess, yet indoors! My students are building their gross motor skills while they reinforce their letter, number, and other skills!

  The students are so excited when they see that I am pulling out our recess manipulatives. Little do they know that it is just a time of learning that we get to move around a bit more than the rest of the day!

  I can't thank you enough for all that you've done for my kiddos! With new resources my students are even more excited to learn! Thanks from the bottom of our hearts!!”

• Little Readers for Little Readers!

  Funded Feb 23, 2011

  May I just say that these readers are already making an impact on my students! The students pulled the books out the box as quickly as they could and took them to their seats. The students were fluently reading and were so proud of themselves!! They were shocked that they most of the words (unlike the readers that we have now) and could easily sound out the rest!

  With these readers the students will gain comprehension skills because they can actually read the stories and worry about sounding out less. They have already built their confidence!!

  Thanks again for all that you have done for my amazing kiddos!!”

• Right On? Write On!

  Funded Feb 10, 2011

  The students were surprised to come back after a long weekend to new supplies! Handwriting was amazing today! The students were so quiet and ready to learn without their pencil and paper. We are also able to manipulate words with magnetic letters for fluency time!

  Not only have you helped the future of our education, but the future of our environment! My students are trying to figure out was to use their boards in other subjects so that we can save even more paper!

  My students are already in love with their mini whiteboards! Thank you for making them feel special by donating a full class supply :)”

• Help Us Get Our Wiggles Out!

  Funded Feb 23, 2011

  My students are so excited about these chairs! What a great idea and large improvement in our room. Students that weren't motivated for school are now excited to come to school. Students behavior is more positive because they see these chairs as an incentive. They are also more responsible because they remember not having them and would hate to ruin them and lose them (they love them too much!)

  I truly appreciate all of you and your generosity towards my students! They are much deserving and they thank you from the bottom of their hearts :)”

• Help Us Meet Our Needs

  Funded Feb 18, 2011

  Wow! The change is outstanding already! Not only are the students allowed to move more, but they are moving silently. Just losing a few chairs has already quieted our room down :)

  The students are even more eager than before due to the fact that each student is getting closer and closer to having their own ball chair! They rush in the door in the morning so that they can get to work at their seats sooner. It's absolutely amazing to see them so excited to join in every activity now, because it's just plain fun to do everything!

  Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! You are amazing!!”

• Leap Our Reading Into the Next Level!

  Funded Jan 29, 2011

  Our Tag systems arrived today! The children were ecstatic! Their eyes were so bright and wide when they opened the boxes to reveal 4 tag readers, cases, and new books!

  They were so disappointed when they found out that they would have to wait for me to load the books on the readers, but immediately after work they were all huddled around their books and were engaged in every word!

  The conversations I overheard were absolutely touching to a teacher's heart! I feel as if their comprehension skills were boosted as soon as they turned the tag readers on :)

  Thanks again for brightening their world and our future!”
