• Manipulative Containers & Toys

  Funded Dec 15, 2023

  Thank you so much for your donate by providing our class with new maniputives the students have been able to have hands on learning experiences. We did a unit on ocean we were able to incorporate the magnetic tiles. This allow the students to label different animals in the ocean.

  The storage container that were purchased for this project allowed the students to see what manipulatives were in each container allowing more opportunities for the students to make informed discussions on what they would like to use during choice time.

  Thank you again for support our students and our classroom it definitily makes a difference and is greatly appreciated.”

• Classroom Materials and A Color Printer

  Funded Apr 14, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous contribution to my project "Classroom Materials and A Color Printer." Without the support of amazing donors like you, I would have to pay out of my own pocket to provide these extra, yet very necessary things for my classroom. I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I am for every single donor who made this project come to life. Having a color printer in my classroom has been the best, most convenient thing ever! I can quickly and easily print colored materials for my students that make lessons more fun and engaging. Thank you again for bringing this project to life for me and my students.”

• Expanding Play Skills

  Funded Apr 19, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous contribution to my project "Expanding Play Skills." Without the support of amazing donors like you, I would not be able to provide my students the variety of tools and materials that I now have. They were so excited to open all the boxes as a class to see what was inside. My students have really enjoyed playing with the dollhouse with all the new furniture and little pieces. They love the table top activities, and all the different toys and materials we now have to encourage collaborative play. I am so thankful for everyone who donated to this project and made my dreams come true.”

• Preschool Calming Library

  Funded Nov 11, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generous donations to my project. Because of you, my project was fully funded and my students received all the materials requested. They were so excited to open each box and see what was inside, and the smiles on their faces while they unpacked each item was priceless.

  I set up our new Comfy Couch and Chair, which really makes the space feel warm and inviting, and the students really enjoy grabbing a book and reading together back there. I also really love using the Kindness Kit items with the students. The Calming Cuddle Ball and sensory timers are very helpful when students are having a difficult time regulating themselves, and the dough mats are fun to make different faces and emotions with Play Doh.

  We are so appreciative of your generous donations because none of this would be possible without all of you! Thank you again.”

• Refreshing Our Playground

  Funded Jul 30, 2022

  I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing to, and funding this project for our very special group of students!

  The students absolutely love all of the new playground manipulatives and equipment! One of the best moments was seeing their faces light up when they first saw the Watch it Flow Water Table on the playground. I filled up our smaller water table and brought out different sized cups, buckets, and watering cans, and the students had the best time transferring water back and forth into the Watch it Flow Water Table. It was, and continues to be such a great activity to encourage collaborative play with one another, which is a goal they are all working towards in their Individualized Education Plans. Another great moment was watching the students practice taking turns on the Beginners Balance Beams. They enjoyed setting the beams up all different ways (straight, zig-zag, etc.) to try and balance from start to finish! Overall, this project did exactly what it was intended to do, which was refresh our playground for the students we love and care about so much. Thank you for making our dreams become a reality.”

• Light Table for Special Need Preschool Students

  Funded Feb 2, 2019

  The students in my class have enjoyed playing simple alphabet game on there new light table. They enjoy using the light table for sensory input when a student needs a break. We have enjoyed using colored magnifying glass over the light to see what happens when you mix colors.

  When my students saw the light table became excited to see how it works.There favorite part is when the light changes colors. My whole class wanted to use it at the same time. The light table has become the most popular activity in our class. It makes a great positive reinforcement.

  The students in my class are between the ages of three and five. Most of them have speech and language delays or Autism. We work on each students individual goals. Some students have speech goals, academic goals, vocational goals, play goals, and social emotional goals. Our ultimate goals is to have as many preschoolers as possible to be able to attend general education Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten class once turning five. The light table has been able to help get the students attention and work on social goals, play, goals and language goals.”

• The Functions of Daily Life

  Funded Dec 2, 2014

  I can't fully express my excitement, and thanks for your donation to my class project . It is great to see so many people share the same dreams I have for my students .

  The supplies for our class that you have funded will enable students to be hands on in learning daily skills that we take for granted I am very excited of the possibilities of having additional tools in my classroom, and a new variety. The students will react very positively to these new items, and I feel that their learning experience will be heightened. I will be able to create new activities to utilize these items to their fullest, which will, in turn, will help my student's interest in learning and continue to learn important daily skills that will promote success in there lives. The entire classroom will benefit. I will be able to demonstrate be able to physically show the students how to count the money and give them different tools to use when in the community on there own.

  I hope to share with my colleagues a new technique in learning. Thank you so much. I can't wait to introduce these tools to the children.”
