    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    Tap tap tap! Rhythm sticks are a fantastic tool for engaging my preschoolers in music and movement activities, which they love. They are so excited to hear music and tap along to the beat! What a fun way to experience music.

    The dot markers and workbooks are a fun way to learn letters and numbers. Thank you so much for providing these 2 great materials for fun and interactive learning! At this time of the year, I see real growth in my students learning and appreciate the timing of these hands on materials to enhance their learning.

    I appreciate your generosity!”

  • Toys for Prek!

    Funded Jan 15, 2024

    Thank you so much for providing my little Preschoolers Mr Potato head and new cars and blocks and puzzles, to name a few! I cannot describe the joy and excitement when the children saw the new box of Mr. Potato Head parts. It was an immediate favorite! Your donations provided a new addition to the Art, Block, Math, and Writing Center!

    Play is their way of learning and to have new and clean toys opens up so much imagination, language, and social skills! Please know this important donation is used everyday! Thank you so much!”

  • Connecting the Dots in Preschool!

    Funded Dec 4, 2023

    I would like to tank you for providing such big smiles to my students! What a thrill to receive the new art materials. They immediately wanted to play with the dot art and also the stencils! The walls in my classroom are filled with such creativity!

    I also received a gift card from Teachers pay Teachers where I could download meaningful, fun activities to accompany the dot markers!

    The art materials are colorful and easy to handle for little hands! These materials improve hand dexterity, grip, and students develop hand and eye coordination.

    They also learn colors! There are great letter and number activities as well!

    I am beyond grateful to see the learning soar in such a fun way!! 😊”

  • Learning Begins Here in Preschool!

    Funded Sep 20, 2023

    With so much appreciation, I am thrilled to say the wonderful supplies we had to start our Prek yeR off! Thanks to your generous donations, my little students had so many fun materials to explore and play with. Stencils on the writing table is a favorite! And Journals to draw their friend, a feeling, or their favorite food are so fun. I am hoping by the end of the year, we can add some letters to their drawings! How important the beginning if the reading/ writing process.

    The sensory sand is so important in my classroom for those students with sensory needs. The blocks are amazing and provoke much imagination! Thank you do much!”

  • Buckets of Fun in Prek!

    Funded Apr 3, 2023

    I would like to thank you all for your generous donations. I was able to give each child a buscket and shovel, some bubbles and chalk to play with! These items allowed my students to take a break from the classroom and enjoy being outside as part of their incentive. The bubbles, buckets, and chalk are all used to practice skills learned in class. Students can use their amazing imaginations while continuing to learn and explore during this summer, as they were able to take home these toys!

    Thank you so much for these amazing toys, I am so grateful.”

    Funded Sep 21, 2022

    Learning is sure fun in our Prek classroom! Thank you for the generous donation of bingo dabbers, workbooks, and lesson plans!

    What a great surprise when the package arrived! My students were so excited! They each got their own set of the colorful dabbers and a brand new workbook just filled with literacy and math activities! The classroom is decorated with their bingo artwork!

    The workbooks are almost finished and I plan on creating a new Donors Choose for additional activities!!! So fun!! I am beyond grateful for your support!”

  • Let's Get Organized In Prek!

    Funded Sep 8, 2022

    What a perfect addition to my classroom! This wood bookshelf is sturdy, and can withstand the daily use of Prek children!! We all decided where it would look best and after seeing what center needed it the most, the bookshelf stands in the block area!

    We filled it with Legos, people, blocks, animals and put a little play tug in front of it. Now, students have handy access to their toys! The nice part is it teaches them how to care for their toys, they are free to take them out, but with labeling, they also can now put them back! Way to teach organization skills! Thank you so very much!”
