Achoo! Achoo!
Funded Dec 6, 2023Thank you for such a wonderful donation of tissues for creating a healthy and germ-less classroom environment. This donation has helped to empower my students to become self-sufficient in taking care of their hygiene and developing lifelong healthy habits.
We created a few "Sanitation Stations" around the classroom so our students can have quick and easy access to tissues all the time. We also have our tissues go with us when we leave the room "in case of an emergency."
As a teacher, I know that keeping a classroom healthy is a team effort that can benefit students overall because it keeps them healthy and in the classroom, learning each day. Thank you again for the generous and very useful donation!”

Healthy and Germ-Free Classroom
Funded Oct 6, 2023Thank you for such a wonderful donation of Clorox wipes to create a healthy and germ-less classroom environment. This donation has helped to empower my students to become self-sufficient in taking care of their hygiene and developing lifelong healthy habits.
We created a few "Sanitation Stations" around the classroom so our students can have quick and easy access to wipes all the time. We also have our wipes go with us when we leave the room "in case of an emergency." It is a thrill for one student a day to be our "Sanitation Helper" in charge of all emergencies.

Bringing Color to our Pre-K Classroom!
Funded Mar 18, 2022What an amazing donation! Our new color printer has benefited all my students. The printer has allowed us to print our work and pictures to use for learning.
They have been able to see their work in color and not in black and white. They are more invested in researching because when they are done, they will have a beautiful color print out of their learning.
I have used the color printer to print monthly certificates and awards to motivate and affirm my students' success. We have used the printer to print out invitations for Classroom Events that we are asking parents to come and join their child in their learning day.
The need for the printer was huge, and we are very grateful that you fulfilled the need! Thank you!”

Cozy Carpet for Reading Nook
Funded Sep 7, 2022Thank you so much for the gift of a cozy carpet for our reading nook! It is the perfect fit for the space it needs to fill. It is hard to believe that the carpet is the perfect size for a couple of friends to spread out and read stories together or to have all 18 students sitting side by side learning from our Interactive White Board.
Having a dedicated and comfortable reading area has been a huge influence on students to read and encourages them to spend more time reading in a cozy place. I am grateful for your donation, and my students are incredibly lucky to have you give so generously to make their education stronger. Thank you again!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Valhalla Foundation.Hands-on Math Manipulatives
Funded Apr 7, 2022Thank you for your fantastic donation! The Math manipulatives will allow students to engage in independent learning during small groups. Small groups are an essential part of students' learning because, in small groups, we can target specific learning gaps students may have. These materials will help students engage with hands-on manipulatives that will create a fun classroom environment. I have chosen a variety of math manipulatives that can be differentiated so that every student is challenged at their current level. These materials will be a huge timesaver therefore I will be able to focus more on teaching content than prepping centers. Finally, these manipulatives will ensure that learning is occurring throughout the entire day.
I am grateful for your donation, and my students are incredibly lucky to have you give so generously to make their education stronger. Thank you again!”

Exploring our Emotions in Pre-K
Funded Sep 9, 2022What an amazing donation of Social-Emotional Tools that will allow my students to explore emotions and physical characteristics in a fun and engaging way - I knew the many different types of tools I ordered would be a perfect fit.
By funding my project, it allowed each child to be in tune with their own emotions along with the emotions of others. They are learning to understand when someone is happy or upset and how to best react in these situations. This directly relates to the way they interact with other kids, adults and themselves. Learning these things early on sets the foundational skills needed to treat others and themselves with kindness and respect. These tools are helping my students build confidence, express themselves, and identify what they're feeling.
I am grateful for your donation, and my students are incredibly lucky to have you give so generously to make their education stronger. Thank you again!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Valhalla Foundation and one other donor.Learning through play!
Funded Apr 2, 2022Thank you for your very generous donation! This project is filled with so many exciting manipulatives that can be used in our dramatic play area! Students will have the opportunity to play, explore, socialize, share and learn through play. Exploring self-empowerment, allowing kids the opportunity to make choices, act out their feelings, and find a new connection to themselves. These tools have given my students hands-on play tools for our Farm Theme!
It has been an amazing theme this month, being able to use the inflatable barn, the fruit and vegetable sorting and counting bins. The students love to be classroom helpers and use pint-size cleaning tools to clean up our classroom.
I am grateful for your donation, and my students are incredibly lucky to have you give so generously to make their education stronger. Thank you again!”

Healthy Habits in Pre-K!
Funded Dec 9, 2021Thank you for such a wonderful donation of materials and supplies for creating a healthy and germ-less classroom environment. This donation has helped to empower my students to become self-sufficient in taking care of their hygiene and developing lifelong healthy habits.
We created a few "Sanitation Stations" around the classroom so our students can have quick and easy access to liquid hand soap and hand sanitizer for our hands. They love being the daily broom sweeper helper with our fabulously fun broom and dustpan set! Having a full class of 4-year-old students eating breakfast and lunch in the classroom tends to create spills on the floor.
As a teacher, I know that keeping a classroom healthy is a team effort that can benefit students overall because it keeps them healthy and, in the classroom, learning each day.”
