Excited Readers Eager To Complete Class Library

Funded Feb 7, 2012

I wish you could witness for yourself just how thrilled my First Grade students are with the new materials that your generous donations purchased for them. Now that the class library is complete, this is the most popular spot in the classroom. Each day students gather in this special space to use their growing knowledge of words to read their books. The colorful carpet is a soft spot to sit on with a reading buddy. The new outward-facing bookshelf showcases the library books' attractive covers, inviting young minds to take a peek inside. My students are currently learning about teamwork and how it helps them and others. They get to practice teamwork skills while using the 3 dimensional peg board and pattern shape puzzles. As you can see from the pictures, the painting trays allow my students to paint with confidence. They do not have to worry about spills since the tray catches all drips. In addition, it holds all their paint supplies in one convenient area. Due to your thoughtfulness and caring, you have enriched the lives of my young students in a time of great need, and have positively impacted their school experience.”

With gratitude,
