Take A Look . . . We'd Love Two Nooks! (For Reading Books!)
Funded Oct 7, 2012Yay! Thank you all so much for donating to bring more Nooks to my classroom! We now have five of them and we use them all day long... for Accelerated Reader testing, listening to books, reading books, and recording ourselves reading.
We also love Friday afternoons when we get a few minutes to play the fun games that we have on our Nooks!
Thank you so much for bringing these resources to my third grade classroom. My students love using them and I love having that bit of extra technology available for them!”

Funded Sep 19, 2012Thank you for bringing Brainpop and Brainpopjr to my third grade classroom! We are using the videos and extra resources a few times a week. My students love Annie, Tim, and Moby and always get excited when they know I am going to introduce or extend a study with Brainpop or Brainpopjr!
Thank you for making this technology accessible for me and my students. Bringing these little "extras" into the classroom really helps get kids (and me too!) excited about learning.
Thank you for your dedication to the success of the students in my building! :)”

Let's Talk Tables!
Funded Oct 12, 2012Oh my GOSH! We've had our tables for a few weeks now and we love them!
Not only is there SO much more space to move around in my room, but I love that students can work together and learn to operate as a group so much more effectively than when they were each their own little island in a desk.
Thank you so much for helping my room feel more like a community and helping add extra moving room in my classroom!
We love the tables and I appreciate your donations to make my classroom my ideal space for learning!”

Teacher... How Do You Spell... D-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y!
Funded Sep 30, 2012Thank you all so much for your generous donations to help bring dictionaries and a set of thesauruses to my third grade classroom!
I am loving the independence it is teaching my students and, believe it or not, they are having a TON of fun learning how to be independent! They are gaining exposure to new words, building their vocabularies, and using these tools so much!
We recently had a synonym search and the students were so engrossed in finding new words in the thesauruses. It was truly an amazing sight to see kids so excited about learning!
Thank you again for supporting this project in my classroom. We all appreciate it!”

Funded Aug 21, 2012Thank you all for your generous donations to bring two Nook Tablets to my classroom!
We use our Nooks ALL DAY LONG for everything... and that is no exaggeration!
We use them for AR tests, to get on RAZ-Kids to listen and quiz on books, and for reading books during "read to self" time. We also love getting them out on Friday afternoons and playing games on them!
Thank you for bringing these useful pieces of technology into my classroom so that my students can experience literacy in a whole new way. It is very much appreciated!”

Read, Listen, Quiz... Help Build Our Fluency & Comprehension
Funded Sep 30, 2012Thanks for bringing RAZ-Kids to the third graders in my elementary school building! You have made around 110 kids really happy... and four very happy teachers too!
My students are loving it! They get so excited when they take a quiz, read, or listen to a book and earn stars! I love that they are excited about reading and they can even do it from home!
Thank you for caring about the literacy success and development of my third graders. I appreciate the donation you made to help my students grow as readers.”

Guided Reading Groups Need Reading Materials!
Funded Apr 25, 2012Thank you so much for supplying my classroom with these sets of chapter books for guided reading.
My students were SO excited to receive the box and couldn't wait to begin reading! We have since been able to do several different novel studies and each time one group finishes, they can't wait to find out which one they will be reading next.
These books have allowed me to appropriately challenge my students with high quality literature that they enjoy reading. Thank you for helping to ignite a passion for reading in my 1st and 2nd grade students!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Magic Tree House Gift of Books and one other donor.Interactive Learning = Forever Learned!
Funded Feb 10, 2012Oh my goodness- we received our Mimio Pad last week and my classroom has not been the same since!
My students LOVE passing the pad around to click, drag and drop, and just interact with our learning. I have been able to create activities on the computer that we can do together, as a class, using the Mimio Pad.
One of the features that we just love is the "notepad" feature that allows me to write right on whatever is showing on my LCD screen. I have been able to do handwriting in a super fun way, as well as move around the classroom while we are doing work together on the board because now I'm not tied in to one spot using a transparency anymore- I can just put the work right up on the screen and write on it from the Mimio Pad!
Thank you so much for donating to bring this to my classroom. My students are definitely more engaged and are super excited about their chance to use the Mimio Pad. This is something that has definitely changed how I do business in my classroom and how my students are learning.
Thank you for supporting technology in my classroom!”

Point, Click, And Learn!
Funded Mar 12, 2012Thank you for your support to bring these math games to our classroom!
My students have loved playing them during independent math time and even during their free choice time in the classroom! We have also played some of them together and it is so fun to be able to practice math skills while having fun with one another.
I appreciate your support in bringing these games to our classroom... my students don't even realize how much extra practice they are getting on their math because they are having so much fun!
And it is even more special that a classroom grandma supported us- thank you!”

Nooks, Nooks... Show Us The Books!
Funded Mar 16, 2012Thank you so much for bringing these Nooks to our classroom!
My students have used them every single day for reading and math and they LOVE having these to use. Their motivation is huge and they can't wait to practice their math facts with a fun app or read to a friend using the Nooks.
I love that they are so eager to use the Nooks for learning and they love that they can have so much fun... I'm not sure they even realize how much work they are truly doing!
We were thrilled to receive these and I thank you so much for bringing them to our classroom. I was so touched at the response that our classroom family had in supporting this for us. Thank you all so much for your support with this project and everything else in our classroom too!
Thank you for answering our call for help! I appreciate you all so much!”
