  • Making the Math & Reading Connections

    Funded May 2, 2012

    Thank you for the wonderful books for my classroom. My students have really enjoyed them. The books help the students understand the idea behind mathematics and give them excellent ways of making sense of problems. My students have to earn points in an Accelerated Reader program each quarter, and the books allow me to have them read about math. They have definitely helped my lower level students see math from a new perspective.

    It is so wonderful to have generous people out there, willing to help out the small impoverished schools.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Mahler

  • Reading in 'Rithmatic

    Funded Apr 14, 2012

    I can not thank you enough for your generous donation to our classroom! The books that you have funded for us have allowed my students an opportunity to engage in real-life math experiences. Since using these books to introduce and enrich math concepts, math has entailed less memorization and more thinking!

    With less and less local and state funding, it is difficult to acquire materials for the classroom! Without your generous donations, we would not have the wealth of math reading materials that are helping my students form solid foundations of mathematics concepts.

    Thank you so much for providing me with funds for these materials to help craft a solid foundation for our future leaders!

    So Appreciative!”

  • Math Literature for Math Learners

    Funded Jun 12, 2012

    Thank you so much for your generosity and wish to promote mathematical awareness to young students. The math literature stories that you have donated have helped my students to understand how math is used in our world daily. We have used the books in small groups working on projects that involve math concepts from time, perimeter, fractions, and even graphing.

    Budget is often an issue, and it can be hard to acquire needed materials. Without your donations, my students would never have been able to use the math literature books we now have. Math is not always seen as being connected to our lives but is isolated. The math literature books put math concepts into perspective for my students.

    Your generosity to our country's young students is appreciated and applauded.”

  • Actively Achieving Algebra

    Funded Apr 14, 2012

    Your generous donations provided me books that improve my lesson planning. The books I received give me a plethora of activities to involve my students in the learning process. Students learn and retain so much more when they are involved and active in the lessons.

    I appreciate your donation, I can't personally purchase all the resources I need for my classroom and with the budget cuts it is more and more difficult to get the materials for my class. The generosity of donors like yourself and others make it possible to provide the lessons that will motivate my students and propel them to success.”

  • We Need to Read! Books for Math Students Please!

    Funded Feb 17, 2012

    Fully expressing my gratitude to you all for bringing this project to reality is virtually impossible. I am absolutely inspired and rejuvenated by the charity and kindness that you have shown in supporting our students through equipping them with basic reading materials that will lead to their greater understandings of poignant topics in mathematics as well as supplement the discovery of their inherent creative abilities.

    My students are inspired as well in knowing that greater members of their community support their academic careers through charitable donation. Your awareness of the lack of basic necessities in local classrooms drove you to exert an endless influence on students that dedicate their best efforts to crafting new ideas and sharing moments of discovery in urban classrooms. Your donation of books means a tremendous amount to a large group of students and teachers.

    We sincerely thank you for your donation.”

  • Reading For Math Growth

    Funded Mar 4, 2012

    Thank you so much for your incredibly generous donation for our new math centers and books for our math library. The students in my classroom really benefit from instructional tools that they can interact with and enjoy, so they can stay engaged in class and learn the value of independent work. Through the last part of this school year, we spent a lot of time practicing with the centers and reading independently which has cemented some crucial, basic skills in the minds of my students. I am so excited that my students this year were able to benefit from your gift, and I am even more excited that my students for years to come will be able to experience how fun and enjoyable the math classroom can be. THANK YOU!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Ellis

  • Kicking Math and Taking Names

    Funded Feb 21, 2012

    I wanted to thank you for your generous donation to my classroom.These materials were very helpful in both my math and science classes. I was able to use the math practice binders to help my high school students gain confidence in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I was also able to use the majority of the items in my Functional Science class. This class is designed to help students learn basic Science skills that they will need to be productive adults.

    We recently completed a unit on measurement. We were able to use the thermometers, scales, measuring tapes, rulers, and measuring cups. The students greatly enjoyed the ability to work on these concepts in a hands-on way. As the teacher, I'm very appreciative for the opportunity to use these tools to present the new ideas in different ways.

    The materials you purchased for my classes helped my class in an immeasurable way. Thank you again for partnering with me to provide the best educational opportunities possible for these students.”

  • SAT Success!!!!

    Funded Feb 17, 2012

    I would like to extend my utmost appreciation for your contributions toward the SAT prep book for my students. We have had the opportunity to dive into the workbooks, have started the concentrated study sessions, and are working to improve our skills in the english and math that the SAT focuses on.

    The students recognize the generosity that you have displayed towards them and are truly appreciative of the materials. I believe they have gained more than the workbooks they have obtained; but they have also learned/realized the importance of contributing to the needs of society, even when it is not required.

    Thank you so very much!”

  • Jumpstarting Math Skills with AWESOME Literature!!!

    Funded Mar 1, 2012

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I am not sure if I can say THANK YOU enough! These math books have made a world of difference in my classroom. Our district was faced with a new math curriculum this year. It required the students to think in a different way than what they had been taught previously. These books help the students to take the information they knew and apply it to their new studies. They were also able to not only learn a new math skill, but to earn points points in Accelerator Reader. Thank you for picking my project to help fund. I really appreciate all of your support and help as I help these students through their educational lives.”

  • Math & Literacy Integration

    Funded Mar 7, 2012

    WOW! Where do I begin? I am so grateful for you and your donation to a great cause. Within my classroom, I try to challenge and assist students everyday in understanding the curriculum of fourth grade. With the purchase of these books, you have given me the opportunity to take my students to a new place. I get to expose them to reading across the curriculum. During my instruction now, I will be able to provide students with a mathematical lesson with a literary connection. Thank you so much for bringing math to life through literature!”
