Funded Apr 27, 2021Thank you so much for the Teachers Pay Teachers Gift Card. This website has endless resources for teachers to create classroom materials!

This classroom project was brought to life by PNC Grow Up Great® and one other donor.Diversity Matters!
Funded Apr 27, 2021Our students were so excited to receive a group of diverse dolls. The children love all of them and treat them as best friends. It is interesting to see their enthusiasm in caring for them. I love watching them "play school!" I hear my voice in their dialogue with the dolls and it makes me feel good that they care for the dolls as much as I care for them. Our students are accepting of each other and it is good to see that in their play with diverse dolls. My students are practicing inclusion and sharing their love for each other. Thank you so much for giving my students this opportunity to experience beautiful dolls from a variety of ethnicities! They are bringing the children so much joy!”

Funded Apr 27, 2021Thank you so much for the art materials we use for drawing, painting, and creating! These are the most used materials in our classroom and we go through them quickly!

This classroom project was brought to life by PNC Grow Up Great® and one other donor.Outdoor Safari Adventure!
Funded Apr 7, 2021Thank you for your generous donation to our Outdoor Safari Adventure project! Since we are not allowed to venture onto the playground equipment as part of our mitigation procedures, exploring nature and the outdoors is our plan each day. Having the hats keep the sun out of our eyes and make us look like real explorers! We are real explorers! With our binoculars and magnifying glasses, we have discovered butterflies, ants, flowers, leaves, and yes even the sewer grate! They had interesting ideas of what is down in the sewer! All of many tools fit into a handy backpack that holds everything needed for our adventures! Thank you so much for giving our children the gift of wonder and tools to go exploring!”

Treasure Chest!
Funded Apr 14, 2021The Treasure Chest is full! Our students were so excited to see the shipment come to our classroom yesterday! It was like Christmas morning when they saw all the prizes go into our Treasure Chest. We have all kinds of sensory and fidget toys that help keep our young learners motivated and excited to learn.
Since we are teaching with the hybrid model, the students that are coming face to face must participate with the virtual students. That is hard for children this young. Having the Treasure Chest is helping our students stay focused and participate fully. Holding a small sensory toy is making an impact holding their attention. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️”

This classroom project was brought to life by PNC Grow Up Great® and one other donor.Clean Sweep!
Funded Apr 12, 2021We were so excited to get the Shark Cordless Vacuum Cleaner! This will make our classroom more sanitary all day long! Our custodians do a fantastic job keeping our school clean, but they cannot come to our classroom for all the crumbs that our students spill during breakfast, snack, and lunch. Since we have returned to school with the Hybrid model, the students that attend face to face eat all of their meals in the classroom. Therefore, we have lots of crumbs that attract ants.
Having this vacuum cleaner at our disposal all day long is making everyone's life easier and healthier! Thank you so much for your generous donation. The children were so excited watching me vacuum that some of them begged me to try it!
People like you are helping us learn in a safe and clean environment. We are forever grateful.”

This classroom project was brought to life by PNC Grow Up Great®.Come Get Your Alphapops!
Funded Jan 28, 2021We are having so much fun with the Alphapops! Learning to identify and match capital and lowercase letters can be boring, but not with Alphapops!
Our students immediately wanted to play, Ice Cream Truck. I saw an opportunity to play and learn at the same time! I can hear them singing, "Alphapops, come get your Alphapops!"
Students are learning color matching, fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, while recognizing capital and lowercase letters!
Pretend play and literacy skills are both wrapped up in this product. Our Zoom class is so much more engaging when we have fun things to keep our children involved in learning while having fun! Thank you for bring happiness and learning to our little learners! You are amazing.”

Food For Thought
Funded Feb 16, 2021Our Pre-K students and families were so excited to receive the snack boxes. Parents were surprised and thanked me, but it was not me. I let them know it was you! You made it possible for our children to have support that makes snack time during virtual learning possible and fun!
We are having a Snack/Chat Time when children can talk about whatever they want. Children talk about the most random things, but those things are important to them and help develop their language skills. We are also seeing stress in families. This gives us an opportunity to identify feelings and talk through our emotions. The snack boxes brought a smile to every child and family! It's fun and interesting to hear about their family pets, siblings, and things they would like to do.
We plan to continue our snack/chat time on Zoom. Thank you for supporting our children and contributing to their overall well being. You have brought them joy!”
