Fresh Water For Us
Funded Jan 20, 2022Thank you all so much for caring that we have clean water. My scholars were happy to receive a new water dispenser. They said, " Wow and we like water". They were fascinated by it and I explained how it will give us fresh water. This dispenser is safer and more accessible for the students. This dispenser will make us feel safer enjoying a drink of water. Now, my scholars get water after gym, and musical movement. It is so fantastic to see them all gathering to get the cool water and to have a smile on their faces. In addition, we are thankful for the new masks to help keep us safe. Also, the other bottles of water will be used to replace the water in the dispenser.”

Funded Jan 27, 2022Thank you so much for supporting this project. My scholars love to see the plants and animals in the fish tank. The pump is working wonderfully and the gravel looks fantastic in the fish tank. The fish are constantly dancing around . The scholars love to watch the animals coexist in the tank. When I put the fish in the tank one student yelled at the fish and said "Wait for him". The movements of the fish looked like they are in a race. This was maybe the first time he saw a school of fish swimming together. These were fantastic gifts to the students. My classroom attendance as been excellent. The sound of the fish tank is so relaxing and reminds the kids of a waterfall.”

Funded Jan 27, 2022Thank you all for supporting and giving us these wonderful books. My scholars are grateful for these books. When I first opened the box to show them the books they said "wow!". They said that the characters look like me. They pointed at the characters clothes and shoes. One student wanted to immediately take a book with the ballerina home. They were excited to see the new books and can't wait to hear me read them aloud. Some of the students gazed at the beautiful pictures on the cover. They took their time to flip though some of the books and gazed at the illustrations. I can't believe that I get to share some of these wonderful stories with my scholars!”

Treats for the Heart

They said "wow!".They wanted to touch the bags of candies. They stated the names their favorite candy. They were reading the labels. I told them that donors have made it possible for them to get many sweet treat breaks. They were trilled to have the candy. They cheered and clapped. They can't wait to take a bit of each of the candies. I gave them kisses to snack on and some students told me that's yummy! and delicious! I was quiet surprised that no one asked for help to unwrap this candy. They sat in their seats with shear joy on their faces. Thank you all for being their heroes and bringing this project to life.”

Funded Jan 3, 2022We thank you all for these generous donations. My scholars are so excited about this project. When we first got these materials they were curious and looked at them. They correctly predicted that we were going to plant. They told me that the Earth-Dome is small. They got to see the earth disk expand. They said that it got bigger. They were able to plant the different seeds. The Earth-Box is fascinating to them and they got to help to mix the fertilizer into the soil. They are currently planting the seeds in cups, so that they can sprout before we add them to the Earth-Box. The scholars are eager to help with planting. The science center is now a very popular area in the classroom.”

Snacks for All
Funded Dec 29, 2021Thank you all for these delicious snacks. All of my students get a snack for the day or an extra snack. The students have more choices and no more sad faces. I am so grateful to have this opportunity to put a smile on each of my scholars faces. Some kids have never tasted some of the snacks before so it's exciting to see them discover that something healthy can be delicious. I love how they try to guess what is in the snack. We also take a vote on what they like or dislike about the snacks. The parents are excited because we let the children bring home some too.”
