• PSA! Storybook Adventures!

  Funded Feb 16, 2025

  I am over the moon with happiness for your generous donation to fund my literacy project. (Storybook Adventures!)

  As we go forward in introducing and implementing Heggerty in our pre-k classrooms, it is wonderful to witness the growth, and the ability of our students to begin reading as we prepare and transition them to kindergarten.

  We are grateful and can’t wait to delve in and continue the learning process.”

• Pre-K, Let's Spring Into Cleanliness!

  Funded Oct 31, 2024

  We want to thank you for your generous donations for our students to "Spring into Cleaning". This project was a testament to the fun and relations of using resources to explain the concept of germs and how it can make them sick with the "invisible bugs".

  It also helped with visuals, demonstrating proper hand-washing techniques that are age-appropriate for cleaning tasks and consistently reinforcing the ideas and ways to stay healthy with appropriate hygiene practices.

  This is a great start at exposing students to methods and everyday occurrences and the responsibilities of taking care of their hygiene. Exposure is key!”

• Young Minds With Bright, Colorful Experiences Through Art

  Funded Nov 30, 2022

  First, let me apologize for my late post. I won't bore you with the detail. However, I would like to say how grateful my students and I are to have such support which have us the ability to make their art come alive. Every day, the students are showing their creativity in ways to express themselves with color and style. As I explain to them how we acquired the paint, brushes, and other items, they were excited to show you how they engage in the classroom. It is also exciting to see a few children gravitating to the art easel to paint who don't normally show interest. This experience you have provided our students is gratifying and a joy to watch.”

• Phonemic Awareness at Your Doorstep!

  Funded Oct 17, 2022

  The students are enjoying the funded gifts so much that they were delighted to come together to write thank you notes. As you can see they are sitting in the floor using the tools you've provided (their abc phone's that are used to emulate the sounds, their writing pad to practice writing over and over again, and the stand where we could hang our mighty minute boards as well as moving it around the classroom when needed). In our Pre-K classroom, we set the foundation for our students to move on to kindergarten and persevere through life. We could not be more happier and grateful for your generous gifts, which allows them to soar and elevate to newer levels every day. The student and teachers(myself) thank you again🙏🏽”

• Pre-K Scientists in the Making

  Funded Sep 1, 2021

  The resources that you've enabled my students to have access to have been remarkable. They love the science center because like other centers (block, home living, art, manipulative, music, literacy, etc.)within the classroom, it allows them to explore the world around them. Measuring, using the colored tubes gave them explore colors using test tubes. The material also encourage and teaches children how to discover and wonder about everything in the world around them. My new students are reaping the benefits this year. They have experienced the Kool-aid experiment, and the density experiment which let kids see which liquids or substances are more dense than others.”
