ABC is Easy as 123!
Funded Dec 29, 2013Thank you again for your wonderful donation for my students. My 1st grade students have been using the Blends and Vowels Teaching Tubs. It has been a great help having hands on objects while learning about blends and vowels. They have been using the objects to practice spelling the words. My Kindergarten students have been using the Alphabet Sounds teaching jobs to practice identifying objects.
The LeapFrog Letter Factory and Talking Words Factory DVDs have been great also. My students who are in the greatest need have been borrowing the DVDs and I have noticed a change in them. Of those that have borrowed the DVDs, a majority of them have learned all or most of the letter sounds and this has reflected in their reading and writing. They are also getting better in identifying sight words. It has been wonderful seeing the growth in my students.
Again, on behalf of my students, thank you once again for your generous donation.”

Learning to Read and Write!
Funded Sep 14, 2013In this season of giving, I want to say a big thank you for your donation to the project for my students. For many years, I've wanted to have a portable word wall where my students can go and get a word they need to write. With your support, I finally have been able to make this happen. When the package first arrived, the students were excited to see what was in the box. When they saw the final product, they were very happy. As the months have gone on, more words have been added to our word wall and my students use it when needed.
The notebooks have been a great help as well. When my students first saw their "special" notebooks, I told them how very special people gave money for them to have their notebooks. It's great that they have a notebook where they have space to write and draw a picture related to what they are writing. Of course, the pencils have been a great asset. My Kindergarten students began the year either not knowing how to use a pencil or very basic skills. The jumbo pencils have helped him adjust to writing with a pencil and help them practice their writing skills.
Again, on behalf of my students, thank you again for your generous donation. Happy Holidays!!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Rodriguez
