Choice Time Creations
Funded Jan 26, 2022I cannot say enough great things about the Choice Time Creations project and materials! My class has loved the Playstixs, Popoids, and Starbuilders!! We share these materials with a neighboring Kindergarten class and they have been just as big of a hit in that classroom. Our students have been hard at work building, creating and sharing with classmates their ideas and designs. This is a powerful chunk of time in our classrooms, one in which students have full autonomy and an opportunity to connect and build relationships with classmates on a social level.
We are so grateful for your support and your generosity towards public school classrooms like ours! Thank you!!”

Books + Basics!
Funded Oct 1, 2021Thank you for supporting our "Books + Basics" project! We have been putting the color copy paper to work--creating parking lots for our trick words practice, sending home notes to families, and keeping our monthly reading logs up to date! We spent this past week reading the Lunar/Chinese New Years books funded through this project and creating red lanterns with gold glitter to bring happiness, prosperity and good health to our families in the year of the tiger!
Our Valentine's day books are ready to hit the selves soon! Thank you for making these books and resources possible!!!”

Guess in 10 Animals!
Funded Dec 1, 2021I cannot express how much joy and excitement the game Guess in 10 has brought to our classroom! My students were SO happy and proud to have received their own set of this game, featuring animals! Many students returned from the winter break sharing that they had taught their families how to play :)
Not only does this game encourage the skill of inferring, but it also helps expand students' vocabularies and their knowledge of various topics--animals, professions, countries, and states. It also encourages them to be curious and find out more about these topics or to make a connection with a time they interacted with these in their lives.
Thank you again!!! We are so grateful for your support!”

Funded Oct 21, 2021Thank you SO much for supporting this project and our beloved Book Fairy! My class was so excited to get their hands on their own copies of this series and read the message the Book Fairy left us after she delivered them to our room with fairy dust ; )
It is projects like this, that encourage my students to get excited about books, reading, and exploring the world as a reader. This particular book sparks excitement about imagination and the possibilities of creating and building to your liking!

Funded Nov 29, 2021Thank you so much for bringing this project to life! My students have loved every minute of writing workshop, and even more with shaving cream!! The chair bands have also been a huge hit, and allow students to fidget and move in their seats without disrupting their neighbors/classmates. The egg cartons have made one of our phonics centers a huge hit, bringing plastic eggs, cartons, and letter tiles together so students can open the egg and make a word using the letter tiles they have been given!
Thank you again for bringing more phonics and movement into our classroom!!”

Funded Jul 14, 2021We cannot thank you enough for making this project possible! We have been hard at work using our take home folders for homework, parent notes/flyers, and carrying our leveled reading baggies to and from school. We are SO grateful for your support and making the beginning of this school year smooth! We've used the colored copy paper for sharing bits about our day with families--providing them with guiding questions to ask us about what we learned. We've also used the copy paper for our reading logs! We've used the colored printer ink to print out colored photos of ourselves for our word wall, choice time center, and mailbox photos!
Thank you again for providing us with these wonderful materials to make the school year and exciting and smooth!”

Funded Sep 12, 2021Thank you SO very much for supporting our Great Graphics project! This project has brought so many fun and engaging new beginner graphic novels into our classroom. These books with vivid illustrations and short bursts of text provide students with new ways of engaging with a text! My students can often be seen asking to borrow one of these books to take home or laughing about the conversations taking place between characters in the book. These moments remind me that the joy and love of reading is always growing and expanding, especially when we are intentional about the books and options we provide children with! So thank you all again!!”
