Learning English!
Funded Nov 29, 2022This made a huge difference for our ENL students. Thank you so much for your generosity. Many students left their countries and came to America not only did they need to assimilate into the culture, but they needed to learn English in order to succeed. Teaching upper elementary this was never a concern of ours, and in fact, it is harder to learn a language as you are older. These students were expected to learn math, social studies, science and other core curriculum subjects on grade level, although their English language was not on that level. They needed a way to quickly learn English so that they were able to learn the rest of the content. This project helped our students excel during the school year!”

This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and 3 other donors.Laminate It!
Funded Mar 25, 2022Thank you so much for your donations. With these donations we were able to receive a large Connect- Four game.
We love using it during free recess when we earn 25 compliment cards! Don't worry, its not only for recreational use- BUT you teachers have found a way to use this game to practice our fact fluency for multiplication!
As fifth graders we were in third grade when COVID and quarantine hit. We lost out on a lot of learning during remote instruction. Unfortunately, this means that A LOT of us are not 100% fact fluent when it comes to our multiplication facts. Our teachers have launched various initiatives to help us memorize this and using the Connect Four game has been the most fun and successful!!
Thank you again, the kids of 5-427”

Funded Aug 26, 2021Thank you so much for your donation to this project! We have been using the flexible seating all year. Students cannot wait to get chosen for flexible seating while working! We have noticed that having different untraditional seating options for our students has helped build their stamina, increase their focus and motivate them to learn.
They are excited to sit in different places in the classroom during the day.

Back to School with Chromebooks!
Funded Nov 19, 2020Thank you so much for your generosity. These Chromebooks have definitely made an impact in our classroom. Due to the pandemic, we are a fully hybrid classroom. We have fully remote and in-person students.
We are now living in a completely digital world and our students need the appropriate devices to participate in remote and in-person learning. With this class set of Google ChromeBooks we are able to provide all of our in-person learners with a ChromeBook to use when in school. This has proved to be extremely beneficial to all students.
Thank you again! Stay safe.”

Students love seeing their work look "professional" as it hangs up on the bulletin board.
Students who may have not been eager to write before, are now excited and motivated to write so that they will have a chance to type up their projects. They glow as they show off their finished copy printed like a high school report!
