  Thank you so much for all of the wonderful supplies to help fill my classroom and make it look amazing. It is so important for the classroom to be bright and colorful so that students feel excited about learning. We have begun to use the new bulletin board supplies to make great bulletin boards to display our hard work. My students love seeing their work displayed for all to read. We have also made great use already of the crayons when creating covers for our writing so that it is attractive and grabs the readers attention.

  Funded Feb 9, 2017

  Thank you so much for the new books that you helped add to our classroom library. These new books helped to build excitement about reading in my classroom. My students really enjoy reading and learning about new interesting people. They have been hard at work writing about the important people they have been reading about and creating scrapbook pages about these people. We are so excited to have new books about people who my students have not read about before. This helps inspire my students to achieve great things and encourages them to pursue many different career paths in the future. Thank you again for your generosity.”

• Help Restock Our Classroom!

  Funded Feb 11, 2017

  Thank you so much for your generous donation. My class has been hard at work using our new supplies. We have created fraction pizzas to show equivalent fractions and we wrote our own word problems. We also created scrapbook pages about the interesting people we read about during our biography unit. We showed the important moments in the people we read about lives and then created a scrapbook page showing these moments. My students loved having these new supplies so that they could be creative and have choices. We can not wait to continue to create wonderful projects and publish our writing in new ways. Thank you again.”

• Historians in the Making!

  Funded Sep 25, 2015

  My students have been so excited about the new books in our classroom. We have begun reading some of them as we study Colonial life. These new nonfiction picture books have helped my students to visualize what life was like a long time ago. It is hard for them to imagine a life without television or the Internet. We have also been practicing our non fiction reading skills such as finding the main idea, tackling tricky words and identifying the text structure. These books will be an essential part of our content area reading and writing unit in the spring where we will study topics we have been learning about in social studies and reading and writing about them in more detail. Thank you so much for your support of my classroom.”

  Thank you so much for your support of my classroom. My class has begun to make great use of our new iPad mini. They have been using it to play educational games.
