Spanish Books for a Bunch of Special Students
Funded Dec 2, 2024Words can not describe how lucky the students at LES are to have people like you supporting them every step of the way. Thank you so very much for providing me with beautiful Spanish books for students that come to our school and have no English yet. Having these books readily available for these students gives them the opportunity to enjoy a fun book and understand it. Meanwhile, it gives me the opportunity to read them the same book in English and reiterate the English book and words. This is so important and I thank you so much for your continued support!”

Reading Games Galore!
Funded Nov 2, 2024Having all of these reading Games has been a total game changed for my students who are struggling to learn how to read! Having Splash with so many specific skills such as rhyming words, CVC words and cvc_e words has been so great! I am able to pick a game with the skill we are learning about and the students love them and learn from them!
Also, having the pop its with the alphabet has been so fun and encouraging for students. The students love to "pop" the sounds and I am also able to play eye spy the sound/letter with my students using the pop its.
Thank you so much for your continued support!”

Extra Special Supplies for Extra Special Kids!
Funded Oct 31, 2024Thank you so very much for your continued support! Having these materials is so helpful in so many ways. I have been using the CVC blocks in so many different ways in so many of my classes! Some ways that I have been incorporating these are by having students pick up a CVC word and then the student will say it, tap it and then spell it! This is such great practice for spelling and tapping our unknown words. Another thing that we are doing with these tools are saying all the sounds we hear in the cvc blocks. This is helping students with their phoneme segmentation skills.
Also having the Fly guy books have been so amazing!
Thank you for always believing and supporting my students!!”

Pop It Like a Mathematician
Funded Dec 24, 2023Thank you so much for your support in making this project a reality! My students have had so much fun counting and popping their way all the way 200!! Having each of my students be able to have their own poppit when we are counting is allowing all my students to see the number, say it, then pop it. It is amazing how doing these 3 things while learning how to count and identify numbers makes such a difference for my little learners. Thank you again for believing in me and my students and making such a difference in our day.”
