  • Listen and Explain! Building Your Knowledge!

    Funded Nov 1, 2019

    My students and I are more than grateful, but in the same time excited and motivated using magnetic blocks and the listening center. Work centers have made a tremendous change implementing all these new materials and resources.

    When the donations arrived to the classroom and we opened packages, I just heard shouts of happiness and jubilation, accompanied by questions as, may we play with magnetic blocks right now, can we use the listening center, can we make our plots in the huge white paper?. To see joy and smiles in my students is priceless.

    Our rotations in afternoon consist of 5 small groups, two of those are listening center and magnetic blocks where students developing independence sense and increase their creativity, building stuff, sharing and working as a team.

    Thank you so much to our donors.”

  • Classroom Necessities

    Funded Jan 31, 2019

    We are very grateful for your donation. My students have really benefited from the refrigerator and listening center.

    Having a refrigerator in my classroom allows me to provide cold snacks to my students, such as juice, milk, crackers and fruit. By having this fresh snacks allows my student to be more focused on school work because they are not hungry. I can also do small parties for special occasions, such as birthdays and holidays.

    I will also like to thank you for the listening center. It has helped my students with reading, it has helped them overcome their barriers by listening to stories their foreign language. This makes them feel more comfortable and engage in group activities.

    I am sorry that I was not able to take pictures and send this package on time.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Melendrez

The refrigerator will benefit my students because I will be able to store their snacks and beverages. Many of them come to school late and miss breakfast. I will keep milk and juice in the refrigerator so it will be readily available to them when they arrive late and hungry. It is difficult for my students to concentrate on learning when they come in the classroom hungry. The listening center will help my students become better readers. All of my students speak English as a second language, therefore, they need to listen to the language being read to them to develop fluent reading skills. The refrigerator and listening center is beneficial to the academic growth of my students in the classroom.
