• Hurricane Harvey New Classroom...

  Funded Mar 27, 2018

  Because of Harvey we are going to be moving soon, to a new t-building. This project is helping me get some new furniture. I am looking forward to set up my cubbies in the new classroom. I am going to use them to get our journals organize and handy to be use daily. Also I am using the plastic organizing drawers to store supplies. The key to a perfect classroom is to keep our room organized. We have students coming in and out of the classroom, I need a place to store materials. We appreciate all the support.”

• Getting Ready for 2018...

  Funded Mar 27, 2018

  As we begin to get ready for the start of the school year its exciting to know that we are ready to learn. Come August first day of school we are going to set up our journals. In the past it has been difficult to start our journal day one because not everyone has it. We like to use tape, staplers and even glue to add notes to our composition book. This upcoming school year we are going to start a daily spiral review on our new white boards. Since we got white boards we also got dry erase markers. We also need to get my desk organized with wire desk organizer.

  Thank you for the donations.”

• Technology after Harvey!!!

  Funded Dec 11, 2017

  With the Lakeshores Math Folders I have been able to conduct workstations. The Math folders have different teks that maintain students engagement. It saves time because the stations are already set up and students can self check for mastery. The iPad was used as part of workstations students are able log in to our interacting Math program. I currently have two desktop and two laptops, the iPad was a great tool to have in the classroom. We are grateful for basic supplies, such as pencils because my pencils seem to fly away.

  Thank you for the support.”

• Getting Ready After Hurricane Harvey

  Funded Sep 12, 2017

  My students we over the moon excited when they would see the boxes come in, I could see it in their eyes they would light up. It felt like Christmas morning opening gifts. We use the card stock paper daily to add interacting notes in our journals. I use the TZe tape to label everything in my classroom. I use the command hooks to hang items around the room. The library pockets I use for my classroom jobs. To make my math journal more interacting I use a stapler to add notes. As a 5th grade teacher I normally don't use stamps, but this year I am trying something new. I am using stamps as part of my reward system.

  Thank you and I appreciate the donations.”

• Hurricane Harvey...

  Funded Sep 5, 2017

  After Hurricane Harvey we were devastated. We had to move classrooms and was in need of supplies. I use file folders not only to file but as an interacting note folder. The pens I use to color coded notes in my interacting journal. The bookends I use to stay organize. These math books I needed to display and make students accessible. My pencils seem to fly out of my room, such a basic item is much needed. I wanted to have a first aid kit in the classroom. My students get so excited when the boxes come in of donations.

• After Hurricane Harvey We Rebuild

  Funded Oct 6, 2017

  First of all I have to start with how grateful I am for the help and support DonorChoose has been. The best item in this project has to be the carpet. My students love laying around in the room. To the point I allow them to take pop quizzes in the floor. The carpet has completely change the atmosphere of the classroom. What goes best with a carpet but workstations. My students love taking our Really Useful Boxes to the carpet and work with a partner. I use the magnetic sentence strips to write my objective, a students who knows our goals can better perform in the classroom.”

• Basic Needs...

  Funded Oct 2, 2017

  The look in my students faces when the materials came in was priceless. They were so exited with all the boxes and the carpet. They kept asking me "What is the carpet for?" my response was is for you. We were in need of a carpet to make workstations more comfortable. The carpet and the clipboards go hand in hand, we use them for movement around the room. Sitting in a desk all day can be exhausting, but moving around makes the classroom feel more relax. After Hurricane Harvey students came to school with no supplies. I like to provided color pencils for our interacting journal.

  Thank you I appreciate all the support.”

• 2017-2018 New School Year

  Funded Jun 10, 2017

  After Hurricane Harvey we were devastated in dire need of supplies. This project was much needed and appreciated. We had to move to a different classroom and didn't have a white board. We use the white board daily to write our objective. Magnetic strips were use in the board. Everything that was donated had a purpose. The cubbies were used to organize our weekly copies. Germs are everywhere and the hand sanitizer and tissue are use daily. We have an interacting journal and we use daily pencils, pens, and tape. I liked that when school started I was able to give Frito Lay snacks
