Wish Delivered: Phonics Reader sets

Teacher Courtney Marshell says "The decodables I am requesting are highly engaging, fun stories that correlate with the phonics skills students need to learn in order to read. Every first grade teacher (there are 3 classrooms with 20 students each, this year) will be able to use these decodables within their classrooms every week. Not only will this impact the entire first grade, but kindergarten through third grade students can also benefit from using these books when working within reading intervention groups. Students receive phonics instruction all the way through third grade, and none of these grade levels have decodable readers that align with phonics instruction."

Wish Delivered: Folding Chairs with tablet arm

Teacher Brittany Nielson says " My current desk chairs are getting to the point that students are asking to trade seats and hoping the seat they are trading for isn't ruined as well. My current desk chairs are over 20 years old and the desk parts tip so far in that students can't comfortably write or type on their Chromebook. As a theater teacher, I need the freedom that desk chairs like this provide to move chairs easily to make space for performances, but we do more than perform. Students need a comfortable place to work."
