  • Dramatic Play for TK!

    Funded Aug 21, 2022

    Our new dramatic play centers have been a WONDERFUL addition to our transitional kindergarten classroom!! My students were overjoyed when they saw the new kitchen and dollhouse. The dollhouse and multicultural family sets are a new class favorite! The kitchen has been a great addition and keeps the kids interacting and socializing with one another. These new items in our dramatic play center enables my students to further practice important skills with their peers, as it supports their social-emotional, language and cognitive development.

    Ultimately, these new items have been a great addition our transitional kindergarten classroom. My students and I can't thank you enough for your generous donations!!”

    Our new learning centers have been a WONDERFUL addition to our transitional kindergarten classroom!! My students were overjoyed when they saw all the new activities.

  • Help My Students Explore Their Big World!

    Funded Aug 31, 2021

    Thank you SO MUCH for donating to my "Help Students Explore Their Big World!" Project! This has been a great way for the kids to explore familiar ideas and gain new knowledge in a fun and exciting way! I love that they have the magazines in front of them as we read through each issue during learning time. Not only do they have this tangible piece, but they also get to experience informative videos about each topic and also take a few fun dance breaks! The activities that go along with each issue have been amazing as well. My TK's and I appreciate your donation and are thankful to you for providing us with this fun, interactive way of learning. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!”

  • Listening Centers Help Books Come Alive!

    Funded Aug 14, 2017

    Thank you all very much for contributing to our classroom! Offering a listening center to my transitional kindergarten students provides them with an opportunity to use technology in the classroom. Many of my students do not have materials such as this at home, so they are very excited to be able to use it everyday at school.

    My students love listening to their favorite stories, such as "Pete the Cat" and "Miss Nelson is Missing". I continuously hear them singing along and reciting the words from the story. This is a great opportunity for them to practice their listening and reading skills, while building and reinforcing their expanding vocabulary. I can't thank you all enough for your donation and support for my tk classroom!”

    With gratitude,

Young children take great pleasure in listening to stories. Hearing a book read on tape helps them see how the words on the page can come alive in a fluid, expressive way. Children can build vocabulary skills while listening to a variety of stories, as well as begin to build on their reading comprehension. It also helps them focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audio books also provide an important introduction to listening — a skill that children must master in order to learn to read. With the use of this listening center and CD player, my transitional kindergarten students will be provided with a wonderful opportunity to hear a variety of books read aloud again and again. The more they listen, the greater the likelihood that they will learn new vocabulary words and gain reading comprehension skills. Please help me make this listening center a reality for my students! Thank you!
