Pre-K Loves to Create Art!

Help me give my students craft supplies, such as paint sticks to encourage their love of art. The foam puffs and peel and stick cubes will give them more to explore in our art center.

  • Sensory Stimulation

    Funded Feb 27, 2025

    Thank you so much for helping me get this important project funded. These items will be put to good use. My students will use this tent when they need some quiet time alone. The gardening tools will be used in my sensory bin for spring. The kinetic sand, pluffle and fun foam will be for sensory experiences and for learning to form letters and numbers in a fun way!”

  • Germ Free Classroom

    Funded May 8, 2024

    Thank you for supporting our Pre k classroom this year. We do everything we can to ensure that the children are germ free and safe. These products are used throughout the day especially before and after our three meals.

    A proper handwashing routine is conducted several times a day including upon entering in morning, as well as before and after each meal. Teachers are washing their hands as well.

    These materials are used up quickly and always need to be replenished. They are not supplied by the school but by the teachers and supporters such as you all. Thank you so much!”

    Mrs. Chekmayan

  • Sensory With Sand, Light, and Literacy!

    Funded Mar 5, 2024

    Thank you for donating to this project. The children were thrilled to have this sensory sand construction kit. It worked perfectly with our building study. The students love using the construction vehicles with the kinetic sand. They pretended to build structures together. It is a big hit. During our Wheels unit we will incorporate more vehicles with various wheel types to compare and contrast.

    The translucent bug kit works beautifully on the light table for sorting, counting and comparing. It is perfect for their interest in bugs and will be used for patterns as well.”

  • Pre-K Loves to Learn!

    Funded Feb 7, 2024

    My students are very grateful for all of the materials that were donated to this project. Our class is always busy and having fun. Whether it is painting on our easels or creating unique crafts in art center, we are never bored. Dramatic play center is always changing for our units of study and the laminating pouches keep posters and signs in good shape. The tpt gift card paid for pictures, signs, questions and more downloaded each month for our various units of study.

    The Clorox and paper towels are essential in our classroom for keeping us healthy so that we can continue to learn and have fun every day!”

  • Science, Storytelling, and Flexible Seating!

    Funded Nov 27, 2023

    My students love to explore and create. They are always thrilled to see a new item in a center. Toys are always being added or rotated. New play doh is added often as old Playdough dries up. They love learning about the Solar system and this discovery board encourages lots of conversation about the planets. We can compare and contrast. We also have an animal loving group. The specimen center is a hit.

    At this time, we are learning about buildings. The Lego stem set has come as a great choice in toys and games for creating structures. Thank you all for giving my students new materials to enjoy!”

  • Pre-K Equals Fun

    Funded Sep 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for every generous donation to our project. The art supplies including pipe cleaners and Pom-poms are being used for beautiful artwork. My students love to create things for each other! We go through construction paper very quickly!

    The washable paint is used up very quickly on the art easel. They love mixing colors and telling us all about it.

    The magnetic letters have been encouraging them to form the letters. They help reinforce straight lines and curves.

    The magna tiles have been a hit on the light table. The students love to build together.”

    Mrs. Chekmayan

  • Awesome Art

    Funded Oct 4, 2023

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Our class is really benefiting from this piece of furniture. It enables me to put out and organize more art materials for the children to choose from.

    It has improved their ability to reach items and view items available.

    It is spacious and kid friendly. It has wider cubbies to store materials and easy access. It is also easy to move around. Our class has been much more motivated and eager to try to create their art work. They're very creative and love working on things together. Often, they make things for classmates.”

  • Pre-K 109 Loves Art!

    Funded Mar 2, 2023

    Pre- children love arts and crafts. They love designing and decorating things, especially something they'll get to wear. The visors came in handy in the spring. The peel and stick foam shapes are used rather often. They reinforce shape recognition and also are used in various creative ways. The squishy beads are a big hit in our water area. They are a multi sensory product kids love to feel. The collage frames will be used as a parent gift or possible frame for our self portraits. Thank you all for the generous donations and support.”

  • Super Centers!

    Funded Nov 11, 2022

    Thank for all of your thoughtful and generous donations for my amazing Pre k class. We truly are grateful for the wonderful materials that are being put to great use in our centers. The monster balance scale is a big hit in our math center. They love using different objects to compare their different weights. The sorting, counting, patterning and graph trays are used very often. As we learn about graphs at this time of year, it is a perfect resource. Kids love hands on experiences, instead of a worksheet.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Chekmayan

My class consists of three and four year old children that have a zest for learning about their world. They are very social and have great imaginations. I work in a very good school with a strong vision for educating. We are very academic but we balance it with a lot of enrichment.
