Kindles and Books! Kindles and Books!

Last week, we put a grant on DonorsChoose.org for five Kindles. We have a classroom Kindle program and wanted to increase the number of devices available for kids to check out. They are very popular. Well, on Friday, mostly through the generosity of our kids' families, our grant was funded. We are extremely appreciative.

The last donation to our grant was from the Rise Up Foundation in Orange County, CA. With the donation came a note saying that the organization, in honor of National Literacy Month, was sending us books for our classroom. Today, those books came. Wow, that was quick! Now we have eight new books for kiddos to read and five brand new Kindles on the way. It was a good week for our Harmony Team reading program!
