  • Light the Way to Learning

    Funded Aug 25, 2022

    Thank you so much for funding my class project! When our package arrived, the students were so thrilled to see the new learning tool that were going to be added to our rotations. Once I set it up the class was mesmerized by the soft glow and dancing lights. The light table benefits has promoted develop in my students' fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, and basic pre-writing skills. I love how my students can learn new concepts at their own pace while collaborating with their peers through exploration and discovery. The class has utilized this with our math, reading, and science standards. This center rotation is definitely a favorite feature within our classroom. The versatility of changing manipulatives allows me the flexibility to provide visual and kinesthetic learning in a cross-curricular approach throughout my lessons.”

  • Light Up Learning in Kinder

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    Thank you so much for funding my class project! When our package arrived the students were so thrilled to see the new learning tool that was going to be added to our rotations. My class loves our new light table and have enjoyed using it in our center rotations. The class has utilized it with reading and math activities. The trays guide them with counting, adding, reading CVC words, and allows them to explore and discover through hands- on learning. This has been one of their favorite rotations. I truly appreciate your support and I am grateful for your thoughtfulness.”

  • Motivate, Uplift, and Empower Me through GYTO National Conference

    Funded Mar 6, 2019

    This conference was a great way to be re energized to teach young minds! This has given me so many opportunities to share what I learned with my colleagues. I was so excited to get back into my classroom and implement all the new ideas I learned. This conference was an amazing educational experience that was truly inspiring.

    The breakout session and workshops were so uplifting and opened the doors for so much more classroom educational possibilities. I absolutely loved it all! I soaked up so much information and was intrigued by the Neon Read-On and Glow Games. I was fascinated my the extraordinary and fun classroom transformations that I could implement into my classroom.

    I simply was reignited with the passion for teaching and inspired by the engaging and empowering professional development experience. Thank you so much for helping me get to this amazing teacher conference.”

  • Magical Materials to Enahnce the Love of Learning!

    Funded Mar 17, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. Because of you, my class will have hands on learning materials that will enhance their educational experience. These materials will foster the love of learning during their reading and math workstations. I am beyond grateful to have essential learning materials to guide and support my students during their academic school year.

    I am so blessed to have a class set of whiteboards, manipulatives, magnetic letters, sight words, and math tool kits to aide my students in the steps of being life-long learners. I can not say THANK YOU enough. I appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart.”

  • Kinder STEM Imagineers

    Funded Aug 25, 2021

    My students and I can't thank you enough for your donations! My students were so excited when we got our package of Hand 2 Mind STEM kits. Several students that are normally hard to engage commented about having their "Own Kit".

    We have been learning both 2-D and 3-D shapes. Students used their STEM kits to build shapes and demonstrate their knowledge of understanding. Students have also used these kits for independent discovery several times already.

    My students love these kits and often come into class asking if they can use their STEM kits today.”

Imagine 24 pairs of busy five and six year old hands, discovering, building and engaging in bin of STEM items designed just for them. These are future engineers, scientists and inventors in the making. I am requesting for each of my students their own hand2mind STEM kit. These kits are an excellent resource that will provide hands on experiences to stimulate the minds of young learners. Students will demonstrate what they have learned by creating models, charts, and entries in their science journals. Donations to this project will help bring science to life for my students. This project will encourage open-ended exploration of engineering concepts and challenge students to think creatively and inventively. STEM activities will help engage my students in topics that they are interested in, thus making them more successful in school. These kits will encourages students to create, invent, and solve problems using their own set of developmentally appropriate materials. Each bin includes six double-sided Task Cards that use thoughtfully designed using real-world challenges to encourage exploration of open-ended engineering concepts, a write-on/wipe-off Blueprint Card for planning, and 6 different building materials in a compartmented plastic storage container. These bins are thoughtfully designed to encourage open-ended exploration of engineering concepts, challenge students to think creatively, inventively, and discover a fun way of learning.
