• Financial Literacy in the First Grade!

  Funded Mar 17, 2015

  Thanks a million for funding this project. My students are really enjoying the large foam dice. They have been using them everyday since we got them. It has been very helpful in teaching my first graders how to add numbers up to 12. I never knew that you could roll dice and that it could be quiet.

  The children are also enjoying the math stories. We have been listening to them during our afternoon read aloud.

• Please Help Us Read Better!

  Funded Feb 16, 2015

  Thanks so very much for the sight word flashcards. The children have already begun to study the words. I am starting to see an improvement in their reading skills. The children love writing and practicing the sight words when they are at their reading center.

  Thank you so much to Dana Siegel, my daughters and my mom for funding this project so quickly. We now have headphones with microphones for the majority of my 33 students.
