• Readers are Leaders

  Funded Aug 12, 2023

  We appreciate the support you have given to the teachers of Oklahoma! It is wonderful to be able to have the supplies we need for our students!

  We are using the color printer ink to create reading task cards for many reading games and to cover the various state standards. The book set is a favorite of my students! Eerie Elementary is a hit!

  With the 108° heat lately, the new fans will really make our classroom more comfortable! It's so hard to learn when it is sweltering in the classroom! We will use the heaters during the winter months! Thank you again!”

• Building Reading Comprehension

  Funded Nov 5, 2022

  Thank you for helping our classroom! COVID-19 impacted learning over the past two years so much that our students are behind on basic reading skills that they need to be successful in the future. Having to miss school due to quarantine or closures really made it difficult to have continuity in learning!

  These resources you supplied will directly help my students advance their academic learning after these past two years of COVID-19 struggles. We are excited to use these new comprehension kits, including those that focus on Following Directions, Reading for Details, Making Inferences, Text Structure, and Finding Themes in passages. We also needed these new pencils, and a few learning games to help keep the students engaged. Informational Text Games, Reading Comprehension Bingo games, and the Readers Theater Scripts will be fun and help in needed areas where they are struggling.

  Thank you!”

• Colorful Kids!

  Funded Feb 8, 2022

  We are so thankful to receive the set of color printer ink so that we can prepare reading task cards and reading games. We also received a black toner cartridge. In addition, we added a box of fruit snacks to use a classroom snacks for hungry tummies. Finally, we received laminating sheets to help us prepare classroom tools that will last.

  Creating colorful reading tools will help my students stay focused and engaged, and spark their ever growing desire to learn!

  We appreciate your support! You are helping make a difference in our reading classroom!”

• Connecting Kids with the World

  Funded Feb 4, 2022

  We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher's hand,

  This new laptop will really help my students with our Zoom lessons!

  We also have it available for the students participating in person in school as well. It will be available for them to use when working on class projects.

  To make our upcoming units more engaging, we requested sets of headphones. Due to Covid, we've had to implement many more virtual lessons. Many of my students don't own any headphones, and when we are working on computer lessons, these are a necessity. These are helping students stay focused as they work! As a bonus, we are using the bags of candy to use as motivational treats for their hard work.

  We appreciate your support! You have helped make a difference in our classroom!”

• Making Reading Fun

  Funded Jan 10, 2022

  This project has added incentives to our classroom prize box to reward students who are making good choices. They have bright smiles when choosing from a variety of candy rewards in our reading classroom! Our class consists of students that have fallen a bit below grade level in reading, so adding some motivational prizes has given them a boost when they need it! We have also used the printer drum in our classroom printer. This was very needed, we use this daily! We really appreciate your kindness and help!

  Thank you for your support!”

• Color Is the Finishing Touch On Everything

  Funded Nov 30, 2021

  In our Title I reading classroom we do daily hands-on activities to reinforce reading skills. We are using Epson color printer ink to create color task cards for learning games, reading board games, and color workstation activities that I can share with my students. We are spicing up our learning! My goal is to help each student become engaged in reading and writing and inspire them to continue long after they have left my classroom!

  My students will be excited to use the new games and materials that I can create with the Epson Workforce Pro color printer ink.

  When students are excited, they are more likely to be engaged and enthusiastic about their learning. Having access to a color printer and ink will help me to address their ever-changing abilities and tailor their learning activities for their developmental levels in a fun and engaging manner.

  Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! We really appreciate your support!”

• Books are the Quietest and Most Constant of Friends

  Funded Oct 21, 2021

  Reading books allows children to stimulate their imagination and expand their understanding of the world.

  Reading also helps them develop language and listening skills and be informed about other people, other countries, other customs and cultures. Books strengthen our self-confidence and help us to understand why we are who we are. They help us discover where we come from and help us figure out where we want to go. The books we have chosen are high interest books that will engage my students and help them become life long readers. The series books will allow them to keep coming back for more!

  Thank you for helping support literacy in our classroom, and helping my students find a love of reading!”

• Dial Helps us Stay Clean and Healthy!

  Funded Oct 18, 2021

  With 176 children, we need help keeping the germs at bay!

  The Dial soap is a welcome addition to help us stay healthy! We appreciate Dial for supporting classrooms and helping students get rid of those germs! My students have been able to take these home to help them stay safe and clean at home as well as in the classroom! The three book shelves have been wonderful to help us store our new books. Having our books organized will help my readers be able to find books easily, and motivate them to try new genres! Thank you for supporting our classroom!”

• Digital Lessons are Fun!

  Funded Jul 31, 2021

  As the Title I Reading teacher for my school, I am offering both virtual lessons for the students that chose to do at home learning, and in class lessons for those attending school. I am using this gift card from Teachers Pay Teachers to give my students the best opportunity to learn without paper and pencil. The resources from Teachers Pay Teachers will be able to be used by my students no matter if we are in our classroom or e-learning at home.

  These materials will work in both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments. I want to give my students everything they will need to be successful and learn in an engaging way.

  Thank you for supporting our project! We appreciate you!”
