• Learning at Home

  Funded Aug 11, 2020

  My students were delighted to have received the important school supplies! They were even more excited to start school this school year. Receiving the school supplies gave them confidence and comfort to know that in the midst of challenges, they are still able to learn in a school community.

  The math tools we used for building number sense was helpful. Because there are restrictions for sharing tools, I was afraid that I was not able to give my students access to tools. However I had enough math ten frames for each student to keep for themselves.

  Ten frames are useful for building a solid foundation in number sense. We will continue to use these frames throughout the school year when learning addition and subtraction strategies.”

• Technological Tools

  Funded Nov 30, 2020

  Your gift towards our project has opened up opportunities for learning for my students. The academic needs in my class and varies, and therefore the tools allowed me to be flexible and accessible during instruction.

  For instance, the extra monitor helped me to see how my students would respond when I shared content. It made it easier for me to teach confidently and allowed me to focus on targeting instruction.

  In addition, the laptop stand made it easy for my students to see me comfortably. Because I was able to align the stand with the additional monitor, it made it easy for me to switch my attention between monitorss

  Your gifts have made a significant in my instruction, and in student learning!”

• Starting School on Point!

  Funded Aug 28, 2018

  The supplies we received such as primary journals/notebooks, binder clips, and pencil boxes have really helped in preparing our first graders for school! We used the binder clips to mount writing assignments. This made a huge impact as the children saw their work and were proud to see them. We praised them and recognized them for their work. The pencil boxes helped to organize their pencils, glue sticks, crayons, dry eraser, erasers and markers. Teaching them to organize in the very beginning of the school year has been a huge benefit to their learning. They are more independent because of it. The primary notebooks are developmentally appropriate, and really supports their writing. We utilize them as reading response notebook, in which they respond in writing after reading a book. It is a collection of thoughts and response to the books we are reading in class. Thank you for your generosity and your investment in our future!”

  Handwriting Without Tears is a wonderful and credible handwriting program! The friendly prompts and engaging illustrations have made teaching handwriting fun and easy!
