  • Unlocking History Through Literature

    Funded Mar 6, 2025

    On behalf of our entire class at SOPALMS, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donation of a class set of Bud, Not Buddy. Your gift has brought so much excitement and joy to our classroom.

    Our students are already diving into the novel, and it's been amazing to watch their enthusiasm grow with each chapter. Having a copy for every student makes a world of difference—it allows us to read together, explore the themes more deeply, and engage in meaningful discussions.

    Thank you for believing in the power of books and the impact they have on young minds. Your support is truly appreciated and will be remembered by each of my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Alonso

  • Help My Students Discover the Power of Friendship

    Funded Feb 20, 2025

    Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into a vibrant reading community where students are not just learning to read but learning to love reading!

    With the addition of these new books, my students are developing essential reading skills such as analyzing characters, identifying themes, and making text-to-self connections. We've had rich discussions about perseverance, empathy, and social justice—lessons that extend far beyond the pages of a book.

    Reading in our classroom is an interactive experience. Students eagerly participate in read-alouds, engage in small-group discussions, and annotate texts to deepen their comprehension. They are not just reading words; they are engaging with stories in meaningful ways.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Alonso

  • Empathy Through Storytelling

    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in providing a class set of "Esperanza Rising" for my 5th grade students! They are absolutely loving the novel so far, and it has sparked deep discussions about resilience, empathy, and perseverance. Seeing their excitement each day as we dive further into Esperanza's journey is truly rewarding, and it wouldn't have been possible without your support.

    Your kindness is making a lasting impact on their love for reading and learning. We appreciate you more than words can express!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Alonso

  • Engaging Resources for Young Readers and Writers!

    Funded Nov 29, 2024

    Thank you so much for your support of our classroom!

    With the resources purchased from Teachers Pay Teachers, my 5th grade students have been able to dive deeper into engaging, interactive ELA lessons that truly capture their imaginations and improve their skills. These resources allow me to tailor activities to fit a variety of learning styles and abilities, ensuring that every student feels challenged and supported.

    One of the most exciting aspects of this project is the ability to incorporate digital and printable resources that encourage creativity and collaboration. For instance, students have been particularly thrilled with digital escape rooms that make comprehension practice feel like an adventure, as well as project-based learning activities that spark curiosity and critical thinking.

    For my gifted students, these materials have provided opportunities for enrichment that go beyond the traditional curriculum. Meanwhile, my struggling readers have benefited from differentiated resources that build their confidence and skills in a fun, non-intimidating way.

    One student, has especially embraced the new vocabulary and comprehension games we've introduced. She told me that using these materials "makes reading feel like solving a fun mystery." It's amazing to see students like her so motivated and engaged in their learning.

    Thanks to you, these resources have transformed our ELA classroom into a place where every child feels capable, inspired, and excited to learn. We couldn't have done it without your generosity!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Alonso
