Classroom Transformations
Funded Aug 24, 2021My students are so happy to have the ability to transform our classroom. We have not yet transformed as we have not made it to the point in our curriculum or I am saving part for our spring testing boot camp days. Either way, the students are excited about learning because the environment will add to the experience. I could not have been able to do this without your help and support. Westward expansion covered wagons, restaurants and hospitals make learning relevant and exciting. Again, thank you so much for your support!”

Funded Oct 16, 2020My students have absolutely LOVED reading all the new books. We have to have a limit to the check out system so they can all get a chance to read the books. The shelves and book boxes have helped us keep all the books organized and easily accessible for students in both classrooms. My partner teacher is a new teacher and didnt have much in the way of storage for books and I shared a bookshelf with her so her homeroom students have the same advantages as my own. You are awesome! We are so thankful for your donation!”

Studies Weekly
Funded Oct 5, 2020My students have absolutely loved using the Studies Weekly products to aid them in social studies and reading/language arts. The online version has been extremely helpful with remote learners as well as students that are in person. They are loving all the added features and games they can play to show their understanding of the content. Plus, the materials online are also differentiated so that students of all reading levels are able to participate and work on the content. This is a product we will want to use for a long time! Thank you!”

Funded Nov 22, 2019Thank you so much for your support of our audio books. My students can't stop reading! They love listening to narrators read their favorite books and it allows them to really think about the text while listening.
Your donation will impact my students for years to come because these books and CDs will be used for a long time.
With these audio books, my students are gaining the confidence to become successful readers and are actively engaged in their own learning!
Again, thank you so very much!”

Books Make Us "Shelf-ish"
Funded Oct 28, 2019Thank you so much for the bookshelves and baskets to organize all the amazing books we received this year. My students have access to over 1000 books in my classroom that are organized by genre and theme because of your donations.
My students were so excited when I told them we got our project funded this year because it had been so hard to find the books they were looking for. They access these shelves every day for books, audio materials, headphones and reading games.
Thank you again for your generosity!”

Funded Dec 6, 2018Since receiving the multiple audio books, my students have had more opportunities to listen to a variety of authentic literature at the same time. Research shows that audio books have a powerful impact on literacy development. They have grown in their comprehension and understanding. Their learning has deepened and they will think more critically about text and make inferences about what they are reading. Students have also grown to appreciate various genres due to their exposure through audio books and increased their vocabulary skills and promote their love of reading.”

StoryWorks "Work" For Us!
Funded Aug 12, 2018My students have absolutely LOVED the storyworks magazines. Each issue has a fiction, nonfiction, drama, poem and debate piece included. The assignments that go with the magazines are really pushing them to think more deeply about what they read and they are making more and more connections between the various types of texts. My students use the articles/stories as writing inspiration and focus. The debates have really caught their interests lately and we are having daily debates in class about topics that are important to them. Thank you so much for the support with this project. I hope I can do this again next year with my next group of students!”

"If you give a kid a 'mouse'..."
Funded Oct 24, 2017Thank you for your generous donations to support the learning in my classroom. The wireless mice have really helped students care for their chromebooks and they look forward to using them every day. They have already learned about distance from the computer and using "right click" to access other typing tools and tricks when they are working on projects. My students have been researching and creating videos and other projects about science and social studies topics daily because of your help. Thank you!”

Charging Up Learning!
Funded Oct 9, 2017Thank you for your generous donations to support the learning in my classroom. The cases have really helped students care for their chromebooks and they look forward to using them every day. The charging box has not arrived yet but when it does, it will allow them to charge their chromebooks more easily and we can charge them all at the same time if necessary too!
