  • Igniting Creativity: Transforming Our Classroom into a Dynamic Learning Haven

    Funded Aug 12, 2024

    Thanks to the materials you’ve provided, our classroom will be transformed into a place where creativity and learning can truly flourish. When my students arrive, they’ll step into a thoughtfully prepared environment, filled with resources that will spark their imaginations and support their growth. Your contributions are setting the stage for countless moments of discovery and joy.

    More than just the physical items, your kindness sends a powerful message to my students—that there are people out there who care deeply about their education and want to see them succeed. This will inspire them to embrace learning with enthusiasm and confidence. I’m thrilled to witness the amazing journey they’ll embark on, all made possible by your support.

    Thank you once again for making this transformation possible!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Peralta

  • Oh The Levels We'd Grow!

    Funded Feb 10, 2020

    Thanks to your incredible support, our classroom has been transformed into a vibrant hub of reading excitement! The high-interest books you helped provide have become the centerpiece of our daily learning. Each morning, my students eagerly rush to our reading corner, excited to dive into stories that captivate their imaginations and meet them at their individual reading levels.

    One memorable moment was during our "Reading Buddies" project. Students paired up, selected books that intrigued them, and took turns reading aloud to each other. The joy on their faces as they connected over shared stories was priceless. This project has not only boosted their reading skills but also fostered a sense of community and cooperation.

    When the books first arrived, the students' reactions were pure joy. Some even hugged the books, exclaiming, "I can't wait to read this one!" This excitement has translated into a noticeable improvement in their reading confidence and fluency.

    Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and I can't wait to see how my students continue to grow as readers and learners.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Peralta

  • Student Emotional COVID Relief

    Funded Oct 8, 2021

    I am speechless. I have broken out into tears to see this project funded in under a month. Your overwhelming support is going to truly positively impact our students in their time of need. We can now add ways to focus on the whole child and not just the academics. Children need us, and in the hour of their need you all rose to the occasion.”

  • Building a Love for Reading!

    Funded Feb 20, 2019

    First and foremost, I would like to thank you all again for your contributions, my students would not have had the same academic experiences without your generosity.

    My students were so excited to see all the new books and literacy activities brought to our classroom. When I explained to them that they were donated, they asked " who would want to just give us these things?" I further explained that they were donated by people who believe that education and reading are important so much that they wanted to make sure our class had the tools and resources to become better readers." They responded by saying " That's really nice of them, tell them we said thank you."

    Due to your support with materials my students were able to make significant growth in their reading. Students were able to meet there goals, others exceeded it, and many made 6 reading levels of growth. Our students were invested in reading and improving their reading due to the variety of highly engaging texts we were able to add to our classroom library, used during independent reading both in school and at home, and literacy activities we were able to add to our literacy stations.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Peralta

These books and literacy activities will continue to cultivate the love for reading that I strive to create in my classroom. My classroom library is a place of discovery, students navigate through book titles searching for a new adventure to explore. All our books show evidence of love and the new addition to our library will receive the same love. Students are always excited to explore new titles and are thankful for the opportunities to read. The literacy activities have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few months of school read books and really put effort in to tackling new challenges. Titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time. With these literacy activities and new books, my students will be able to access and choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level and enhance their literacy development. They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their literacy experience.
