  • "Deep meaning lies often in childish play." -Johann Friedric

    Funded Aug 15, 2014

    My students are loving all the games from this project. They are learning about working as a team while getting a break from the everyday rigor of school. We have not yet had enough snow or bad weather to have inside recess, but once we do we will be able to have the students play these games instead of having them watch mindless videos. My students are excited and eager to play these games daily. They have become experts at winning and losing with honor and respect. Thank you again for the generous donation to help us get these fun games into my classroom. I expect that my students will get many hours of joy from them this year!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Snell

  • Sixth Grade Smarties are Eager to Read Non Fiction!

    Funded Aug 5, 2014

    Your generous donations are going to touch over 30 students this year and for many other students, for years to come. As you all know, I am CRAZY about reading and my wish every year is that my love of literature is contagious. I hand picked almost 50 non fictions texts that I hope will entice students to pick up a book and get lost in it.

    These books will help students not only be excited about reading, but excited about the world and pique their interests in other content areas. The books I picked cover many themes in science, social studies and health. My desire is that these books evoke questions as well as knowledge to help us all continue to grow and learn.

    Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your support! I can't wait to share these books with my students and to report back to you how much it has changed our classroom!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Snell

  • Essential Oil is Essential in the Classroom

    Funded Jul 27, 2014

    I can't fully express my joy, excitement, and thanks for your donation to my project. The "Essential Oil is Essential in the Classroom" project will benefit over 90 students this year alone.

    It is great to see that you share my vision for creating the best possible classroom for my kiddos. The tools that you have funded will assist me in producing the ideal environment for all of my students. Thank you so much. I can't wait to introduce these oils to my class.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Snell

I tell my students to barf every day. When they come to school, I ask them right away, "Did you barf last night?" I am happy to report that most tell me they did. WAIT. I should explain. In my class, BARF stands for Become A Reading Fanatic. I strive to help each student become a reading fanatic, or at the very least, a fan of reading. I know that if they enjoy reading, they will have an upper hand in life (it's true- there are lots of statistics that prove it). Thanks for checking out my class; I hope you BARF today too! ~Mrs. Snell “Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” - Frederick Douglass
