Thank you very much for supplying my class with these lower level-reading books. The students will benefit greatly from having books at their own reading level. Last year it was so hard to provide my low readers with adequate books, so I am looking forward to using these resources and helping my students become proficient readers”
Thank you so much for providing my class with the overhead cart. I cannot wait to put it to use. The overhead cart will make it easier to use the overhead with my class, as well as, keep the overhead safe. Students love it when I use the overhead and now I will be able to plan more lessons that utilize the overhead. Again, thank you”
I am a first grade teacher at a school in New York. One of my favorite units of study is nonfiction because of the great amount of learning that occurs. My students' sense of accomplishment after they complete and publish their book is amazing. They work diligently to learn about their topics and use their knowledge, and writing skills, to create their own nonfiction book. My students love to explore new topics and ask many questions, and their excitement during the nonfiction unit is exhilarating.
