  Thank you so much for new resources, the excitement from my students is priceless. My students love their instant learning centers, the rhyming center makes rhyming fun by attaching the cubes. We are using the sentence strips to practice name writing and sentence writing. The amount of dry erase makers is a life saver. Thank you! I love the math manipulative and the magnetic wipe boards to practice addition and subtraction. All of the resources are very engaging for my students and they love it.

• Pre-k: Let's Develop Centers for Pre-K!

  Funded Jan 23, 2018

  Thank you so much for our sensory tubs and our listening station. My students enjoy using the sensory tubs that focuses or the alphabet, numbers, and shapes. I have been using tweezers for the tubs so they can work on fine motor skills as well. They use these tubs by picking up the letter, number, or shape with the tweezers and then trace the letter, number, or shape in the clear pocket folders. The students love to feel the rocks and the beads to focus on their sensory. When we first received the items they were so excited and every time I set these items up as a center they are fully engaged in what they are working on.

  Also, thank you for our listening station, the students enjoying listening to the stories or books we are focused on in our curriculum, they can listen and look at the pictures while following along with the story, they really enjoy it. Thank you for providing these resources for our classroom so we can continue to strengthen our learning, we all appreciate it.”

• Small Group = Big Success

  Funded Jun 1, 2017

  Thank you so much for our small group table. I am now provided a place to have interventions with all of my students. This week I have been able to pull students from centers to my table to do our BOY assessment, working one on one with my students. I have also been able to use this table as an extra center during center time. The students love how much room they have to work. I am also able to sit at the table with them to provide small group instruction. We want to thank you so much for our table we are so excited to have it for our classroom! Thank you!”

• Love Learning Everyday!

  Funded Dec 16, 2016

  Thank you so much for your donation. It has impacted my students so much. Working at a title I school with limited resources I was feeling the struggle has a 1st year teacher. With the resources that you donated I have seen so much progression in my students, especially me ELL and ESL students.

  My students are able to use the easel for a closer visual and to use magnetic letters for their spelling and sight words. I have used the phonemic for small group to work on sounds of words and I love the vocabulary and comprehension center for my students. My student's favorite item would have to be the bean bags for their independent reading time.

  The math centers that I received are incredible, there is a center for each math TEK that we are working on. My students also enjoy circle time on the carpet. Thank you so much for all that you have provided these students and students in the future. We will forever be grateful.”
