Wish Delivered: Reading and STEM Teaching Tools

Teacher Kayla Dunn says “I have noticed this year my 1st graders are struggling with sentence building, sight words and spelling. I feel some of these activities will better help them with these skills. They would be used in small group settings through teacher directed activities, partner group work or individual work time. I have some students who are working on CVC words and some who are onto blends. These games would help me differentiate in the classroom."

Wish Delivered: Set of SIPPS Intervention Package

Teacher Katrina Morris says “We are a rural low-income Idaho school with a vast array of needs because of our k-12 population. This reading intervention kit would fit the needs of our student population from kindergarten through 12th grade. I am in a newly created position of k-12 reading and math interventionist. While it is challenging to find a program that could possibly help students from kindergarten through 12th grade, I believe this could help all of our struggling readers."

Wish Delivered: Sensory friendly Classroom Supplies

Teacher Melissa Hodgkiss says “I work in a Special Education High School Resource Room. I teach SPED English and Study Skills. I teach 14-18 year olds. Most of my list consists of flexible seating options. In special education we have a wide range of exceptionalities. I would love to have many seating options for my students that can help them wiggle to sitting still. I believe if a student is comfortable in their environment, they will be engaged, learn, and work.
