Wish Delivered: Clothes for Kids

Teacher Lisa Gorman-Jimenez says "We are a Title 1 school, and our older students could benefit from the purchase of warm coats and hoodies. Many students arrive at school without appropriate outerwear, especially older children who often fall through the cracks of donation drives focused on younger ages. With your support, we would purchase and distribute coats and hoodies directly through our counselor's office to ensure items reach the students who need them most. This assistance would help keep students warm, comfortable, and ready to learn throughout the colder months. We would also label these clothing items to help ensure they do not get lost as kids transition from different locations."

Wish Delivered: New Curriculum

Teacher Careylyn Nez says "I am a resource teacher for 4th and 5th grade. I have 7 students who are extremely low readers; end of kinder to first grade level. We have tried the curriculum the district has offered. They have not made adequate growth. We found a curriculum that has been used in previous years, but they are not complete sets and not enough copies. This curriculum would make a huge difference in their lives because now they could read a book and understand what they are reading."

Wish Delivered: 3D Printer

Teacher Cody Perry says "Every year, we recognize the need to help our students think creatively and prepare for future careers that may not yet exist. Integrating STEM creativity into our classrooms is crucial for this development. Unfortunately, aside from code.org and our current science curriculum, my students are receiving limited exposure to these essential skills, which I believe is doing them a disservice. Coming from a Title 1 school, I often feel constrained in providing rich learning experiences. However, I believe that teaching students to design and print with a 3D printer could significantly enhance their creative learning opportunities."

Wish Delivered: Math Classroom Supplies

Teacher Lynnette Chesser says "One of the math skills my students lack is number sense. I am seeking intervention kits to help build my students' number sense. Without strong number sense, students struggle to make sense of math. Our current math curriculum does not provide enough practice to build these skills for struggling mathematics students.  Math Stackers: Math Stackers puts the power of math in the student's hands and builds them up to be math thinkers! By making math concepts visual and kinesthetic, these tools will support my students with learning gaps and make them an active participant in their learning and problem solving.  Developing Number Sense Activity Cards: This kit was developed to be used with Kathy Richardson’s book “Developing Number Sense: Addition and Subtraction book 2” This kit will save me hours copying, cutting and preparing small group and independent stations for practicing math skills."
