St. Ann Wish List Part 2

This week's blog is PART 2 of the St. Ann Wish List.  PART 1 is still online. CLICK HERE to view the first wish list. Lyrics2Learn Starfall, and 10 of the 20 head phones have all been donated.

If you would like to help the students and teachers with wish list items, you can either purchase them directly and have the item(s) sent to St. Ann or you donate directly to St. Ann and specify where you want your gift directed. CLICK HERE to go to our donation page.

PK-4, Mrs. Harty’s class, would like to add a Sony CFDS7-BLK CD/MP3 Cassette Boombox Home Audio Radio. The computer is across the room from the carpet area, and is too hard to use when Mrs Harty has to keep going across the room. The religion series for PK has a lot of songs with it. The class also has a lot of books on cassette tape, which could be utilized for student learning. The cost for this radio is $60.49 through Amazon.

PK3 would like to have a SUNYAO Kids Kitchen Step Stool with Safety Rail so the students can safely reach the sink when washing their hands.  The cost of the step stool with safety rail is $79.99 through Amazon.

Ms. Scarlett, the art teacher, has added several items to the wish list.  This includes real clay, color sharpies, watercolors, crayons, and difference sizes of canvases. These items can be purchased pretty much anywhere from Knowledge Tree to Target to Michael’s. Ms. Scarlett did not specify a quantity. I’m guessing that we need whatever is given for art class.

The first item on Mrs. Wendenon’s SPARKS wish list is to develop a classroom library.  A library wish list of books for SPARKS already exists on Amazon.  CLICK HERE to access the wish list. Books range from $5 to $24. The selection is pretty extensive.

Mrs. Wendenon would also like to have a Furinno 5-Cube Reversible Open Shelf, White/Light Blue, 11069 WH/LBL to house the new SPARKS classroom library. The cost is $25.13 through Amazon.

SPARKS students would like to have a class subscription to Mystery Science https://mysteryscience.com. A class subscription is $99 per year.

 And, SPARKS students would also like to have a subscription to Generation Genius. https://www.generationgenius.com  A one year subscription is $120.

We doubled the number of students in SPARKS this year. The students are excited and so is the St. Ann staff.

Mr. Gage would like a classroom set (25 copies) of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. The paperback is about $10 through Amazon.  He would like to use this book for the 8^th graders. The Alchemist is one of my favorite books. Might have to read it again the students.

PK4, Mrs. Morgan’s class, would like to have a  The Learning Journey Code and Learn! Ladybug and The Learning Journey Code and Learn! Space Ship. The cost of these is between $24 and $44 through Amazon. These two are also available through Walmart.

Mrs. Miller’s 4^th grade class would like to have 10 Webster’s Student Dictionaries. Working on reading and writing, the dictionaries will come in handy. It is important for the students to learn to look up words and definitions instead of just Googling (Google as a verb). The cost is less than $5 each through Knowledge Tree or Novel for those wanting to shop local.

 

Mrs. Miller would also like to have a yearly subscription to Flocabulary.  CLICK HERE to see how Flocabulary works to keep students engaged. If students are not engaged, learning will not take place. A yearly subscription for the 4^th grade class is $120.

Mrs. Ghio has asked for two televisions and wall mounts for the new study rooms in the libraries. Students will be able to use Apple TV when collaborating, and teachers can use them for small group instruction. The rooms in the library have been converted to study rooms for student use. Each Toshiba TV costs $230 and the Wall Mount Bracket costs $32.

We have a great school, and through your support we just keep getting better. The new school year is off to a great start. Thank you.

God bless you,

Didier Aur, Principal

St. Ann Catholic School
