Funded Dec 6, 2011I want to begin by saying Thank You, for your generous donation. In just 4 weeks my students have improved by simply playing games! Last Friday, I stopped my lesson to listen to 2 students as they looked for the initial letter of each picture. One of the students (a student at grade level) was helping the other student (the struggling student). I could hear student "A" tell student "B", AAApple, What letter is AAAA? and student B would repeat AAAApple "A". I looked at my teacher assistant with a smile and she also listened to them and didn't interrupt their moment. Just this afternoon, my intervention coordinator told me, "Whatever you are doing is working!", all the students she tested (progress monitored) today improved!
Fridays have become "Game Days." My T.A. works with a small group every Friday and introduces a new game to them. I don't think my students realize that they are learning to read by playing these games. All of this would not have been possible without your donations. I want to let you know that in 4 weeks they have already shown improvement. THANK YOU! ”
With gratitude,
Ms. Fernandez
