  • Spanish Books for a Bunch of Special Students

    Funded Dec 2, 2024

    Words 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, 2024

    Having 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, 2024

    Thank 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!!”

  • Extra, Extra from TPT!

    Funded May 10, 2024

    Thank you so much for giving me all these extra resources from TPT! Having the ability to purchase different interventions and fun projects without having to worry about monetary cost is amazing.

    This year I have already been able to purchase wonderful letter/sound cards that allow students to use hand and body motions while learning the sounds. I have also been able to purchase resources for very specific skills for my neediest learners.

    Thank you so much for believing in me and my students and giving us this wonderful opportunity!”

  • Keeping Organized and Staying Calm

    Funded Feb 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for you support and help to keep my classroom organized and calm! Having the calming kitties has been a wonderful sensory experience for my young learners.

    Additionally, having the folders, correction tape, posits, erasers, binders and all the other goodies have been game changer for me! I have been able to keep so many more things organized, including creating a resource file folder of leveled books from level A all the way to level o! Also, I have been able to organize many decodable books using the binders. Having the opportunity to have these great items has helped so much this year!

    Thank you again!!”

  • Books Make Us Feel GREAT!

    Funded Jan 25, 2024

    Thank you so much for gifting my class with these beautiful, interesting and colorful books!! Every student that walks into my classroom is greeted by these new beautiful books and they all love them!

    Having the Tacky books, completes my Tacky book set! This is so exciting, as Tacky the Penguin is always a favorite! Having the Todd Parr books, is allowing me to teach social emotional lessons with ease and at the appropriate age.

    Both these book sets are so special to my students and me! Thank you so much for you support!!”

  • Pop It Like a Mathematician

    Funded Dec 24, 2023

    Thank 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.”

  • From Mismatched to Matched!

    Funded Nov 28, 2023

    Thank you so much for your support and help making my classroom so special and a place where all students want to come and learn. Being able to have enough wobble sits has significantly made an improvement especially with my second grade students.

    Additionally, having batteries for different timers and other things needed in my classroom has made such a difference. Also, having the file hanging folders and bins has allowed me to organize my leveled library in such a functional and useful way.

    Thank you so much for believing in me and my students so much!”

    This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and one other donor.
My students range from Kindergarten to 2nd grade. In my class, students are learning to read and write. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, kind and helpful learning environment where all my students know they matter. Some of my students have big worries at a very young age. Providing a safe and fun classroom where they can learn and explore is my ultimate goal and helping me fund this project makes their opportunities for learning even greater! That is why I thank you for considering donating to my classroom project.
