Books and More Books!
Funded Sep 20, 2019I want say how much I appreciate your generous donations in funding my class project. The library is full of wonderful new books that the students are so excited about.
I am able to change books monthly to support our units of study and keep the interest of the students. The library is available at all times of the day. They are available at arrival time for parents and students to read together. Some choose to use them during center time. Others will go and choose a book while waiting for our next activity to begin. The new rack is now a home for the new alphabet books that they all want to read and also put back it their proper place.
They are excited each month to see what new books are out and they also do request to keep some favorites in the book baskets.
Thank you again for making this literacy experience happen for my wonderful, bright, eager readers!”

Cool Classroom
Funded May 6, 2019I would like to thank all of the donors for the generous donations in funding this project. The students were happy to see the new fans be delivered so quickly and helped to decide where to put them where they would work best. It certainly made a difference at the end of the year. The classroom was much cooler and our normal activities continued in the hot weather. We were glad to come in to a cool room after playing outside and sitting on the rug was comfortable and cool. Thank you again for your generous support. This wouldn't have happened with out your generosity.”

Funded Feb 15, 2019The excitement of seeing all of the boxes when we got back from our winter recess was priceless. The students couldn't wait to open them and see what was inside. They wanted to do everything all at once. They were proud to show guests who came into our room and all the parents the new things we received. The puzzles are now organized and the students love the bright colors of the animals and are learning to do them. The dramatic play area now has a refrigerator and they filled it up with the play food immediately. The bean bag chair is used to make our cozy corner more comfortable and accommodating to all who like to go there and read. The ink and the stapler is being used to display all of the beautiful work the students do. The Lego's continue to be a popular activity and now more students can play.
Thank you again for your generous support and help in making our classroom a fun learning place.”

Effective Enjoyable Centers
Funded Nov 16, 2018We appreciate all the wonderful new things we now have in our classroom. Your generosity has made it possible for the students to experience new activities and help them learn new things.
The new tablet is used providing a variety of activities and games for the students which support them literacy and mathematics and they are fun for them to do. It is also nice to see them help each other learn to play the games.
We now have a CD player which the students learned quickly to operate and use the new books and Cd's independently. They enjoy using it individually with the headphones or with other students listening to the stories and following along in the books.
All of the art materials are being used daily for all the different projects that the students work on in the centers and for projects.
Again I want to thank you for your support and help to make this all happen!”

Showing Our Best Work
Funded Apr 30, 2018I would first like to thank each and everyone of you for your generous donations and kind words of support for our classroom. As we got closer to the end of the year, we were printing a lot of pages for our portfolio and memory book. Now that there was a new printer, we didn't have to worry about the pages being streaked with yellow. They were nice printed pages which students and parents will look at for years to come. Also our displayed bulletin board work was beautiful with the new printer. Again thank you so very much for your generous support.”

Active Kids Equals Smart, Happy Kids!
Funded Mar 22, 2018The students are thrilled to have so many different items to choose from when we go outside. The bags are almost bigger than them but they want to help out and carry the hoops and balls. Clean-up is a breeze as they all pitch in to help gather the equipment and put them where they belong. Thank you for making our outside play time such a pleasure. Everyone has something to do. I also love how the students have learned to be responsible for the equipment, play and share with each other. Thank you again for your generosity.”

More Room to Learn and Explore
Funded Sep 21, 2017Everyone who who walks into my classroom compliments the new carpet. It is amazing how beautiful and big my room now looks. The students are excited to sit and have our morning meeting or listen to a story. They can spread out and everyone can see what is going on. The students are not climbing over each other and there is plenty of room to walk around. The students love the new space and everyone can spread out and do many things such as read books, build with the blocks and work on puzzles.
Thank you so much for your generous donations and making the classroom a more comfortable place to be.”

Funded Aug 14, 2017Now my technology is available in the classroom where 4 to 6 students can work either on the tablets or computers. The tablets provide the students with activities that are differentiated to all levels of my students and they can work on independently. The computer now has a speaker where 2 students can work on activities together.
The students are excited to go to the centers and be responsible to put on the timer (for 15 minutes), start the table or computer and work on the activities. They know when time is up they move on to the next center. They also enjoy taking pictures of each other as the camera is very easy to work with.
We thank you so much for your generosity and helping to make the classroom centers with technology opportunities for all.”

Funded Apr 24, 2017I thank you for your kindness and generosity in funding this project which gave the students more materials to use in the classroom. We expanded our listening center and the students now had more choices of stories and CD's to listen too. They even asked to listen to them during lunch time.
The students were excited to use the new art materials and be a part of creating our beautiful decorations for the auditorium for our end of the year celebration.
We had a wonderful year together and your donations helped to make it wonderful! Thank you again!”

Funded Jan 28, 2017We opened the boxes immediately on arrival. The students were excited and were able to help unpack the mats. They came just in time as our old mats were falling apart and splitting. The students helped place the name tags on and put them in their cubbies. They are light and easily manageable for the students to get independently and place down. I find that preparing for rest time is a good experience for the students. They feel successful when they do things on their own and are helpful to each other.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all who donated this project.”
