First Grade Fun!

Funded Nov 1, 2021

We would like to sincerely thank you for your generosity. All donated items have already been put to great use and made a difference in our classroom!

First, the level A books have been used in a multitude of ways. The sets of books are being used as guided reading sets to teach specific skills. Sometimes we focus on word work and phonics, and other times we focus on comprehension and writing about the stories. Additionally some of the books were placed into our reading bins for readers workshop. Students have the opportunity to select these books on their own, so they are rather excited to have a large selection of stories from which to choose! Finally, some students are taking the level A books home to practice with friends and family!

Next, the elephant and piggie stories have been used to create excitement! I've used some of the books as read alouds and placed to the rest of the books in the student reading bins. The kids are so excited about these stories, that I know some of them have already asked Santa Claus for more stories written by the author!

Finally, the speaker is being used every day. We use it for indoor recess, learning videos, music, and to play PBIS rewards purchased from our school prize cart. I'm confident it will even be used for much more in the future!

We sincerely thank you once again for your kindness!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Geary
