We Need To Build Our Vocabulary
Funded Nov 22, 2015The English language is such a beautiful thing. It provides us a means to express exactly what is in our thoughts, by using the appropriately nuanced words. I often find that students struggle to capture that exact word in their writing. Thank you for presenting my students with the gift of high level vocabulary words.
Big words are not only reserved for the SATs! The dictionaries and thesauruses will help us use those big words while writing essays, during class discussions, and Socratic Seminars.”

AP English Literature Students Need Books
Funded Nov 18, 2015This week, we began our unit connecting ancient creation myths from around the world, to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I could not even begin to tell you how excited my students were to receive the books you, so generously, helped us acquire. Today, we spent the entire period analyzing the importance of the letters in the beginning of the novel. I listened intently, as my students discussed the connections between the author's life, and the beginning of the novel. I observed them as they made mini revelations during the close reading.
Thank you for providing my students with the opportunity to succeed!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Lymberopoulos
