• Playtime Perfected

  Funded Apr 3, 2023

  Thank you for your generous donations for our playtime toys and manipulatives. The students love the new classroom materials. The favorite item is the cash register. They love playing store with the pretend money and credit card. The new grocery set has made the dramatic play area a hit. The magnetic tiles are great for building and working together in groups. They also like the storytime viewers and love telling each other what they are looking at. The trace and write number boards are so helpful to remember our numbers while writing with a new tool. Thank you again for thinking of us!”

• Moving Up Materials

  Funded Apr 3, 2023

  Thank you so much for your donations to our Moving Up Materials project. The students loved their books and toys. We were able to fill the end of the year gift bags with all the fun fidget toys and books. The busy board is so helpful with learning how to tie, snap and button. The bubble wands were fun to use during outdoor time. The mason jars were used to make a beautiful candle holder for our parents. The canvas boards and paint were used for our students to be creative and paint a picture for our parents. Thanks again for making our end of the year fun and artistic!”

• Printer Perfect

  Funded Feb 8, 2023

  Thank you so much for the wireless color printer! It has been so helpful and time saving. I have used it to print out letters for our families in color. I have copied student work for their portfolios. I also have used the color copier to make classroom toy labels. We have all of our toys labeled on the container and on the shelf. The copier has made this so fast and easy. The children are doing a wonderful job putting the containers back on the correct shelf. We appreciate your generous donations!”

• Terrific Technology

  Funded Jan 3, 2023

  My students are loving our new ipads! We have upgraded our Technology Area in an amazing way. The students are having a blast using apps such as Starfall and PBS Kids. They are learning letter recognition and listening to stories. They have been tracing letters and numbers with their fingers. The skills they are learning have been so beneficial.

  It has been wonderful to have more kids use the computer area at the same time. Thank you so much for your generosity, we are extremely greatful to have these new additions in our classroom!”

• Extra Clothes

  Funded Apr 18, 2022

  Thank you so much for the emergency clothes and undergarments. It has been a relief knowing we have clothing in case of emergencies. The students do have spills and accidents a lot. These clothes have helped us during these times. It has been beneficial to have these clothes on hand when we need them. The next step for my project would be to add to the "closet" for the classroom. We could always use extra winter gear and that will probably be the next project.

  The pre-kindergarten team thanks you for thinking of us and we appreciate your generous donations!”

• Enhance our Classroom Technology

  Funded Dec 22, 2021

  We love the new projector and headphones. The picture is so bright when we watch videos and interactive learning songs. We can all see the huge screen and that has been amazing. The picture quality is so clear and the sound is great too.

  The headphones are so comfortable and we definitely needed new ones. The students love computer time and get excited about using the new headphones. These new additions to our classroom have made learning easy, fun and interactive. Thank you for donating to our project.”

• Customized Crafts

  Funded Dec 2, 2021

  Thank you so much for the Cricut, laminator and laminate films. The laminator has made getting things displayed in our classroom so much easier. Our class work looks so wonderful and will last longer when the students take it home. The Cricut is wonderful. I have made labels for classroom supplies and am still working on making the T-shirts. I know the students will be so excited to wear these when they are finished. I will also be working on an end of the year gift with each one individually labeled. I thank you so much for donating to this project!”

• Ideal Incentives

  Funded Nov 15, 2021

  Thank you for the amazing toys for my class. The incentives are a huge hit. The students love the sensory rings and wristbands. We keep them in the Discovery Area and they are constantly drawn to them. The balls are a blast to play with during our outdoor time. They love the way the glitter spreads all around inside the ball. The scratch off bookmarks will help us use our fine motor skills. Lastly, the stickers and pencils are great rewards for working hard in class. Thank you for taking the time to donate to our class!”

• Christmas Gifts

  Funded Nov 15, 2021

  Thank you so much for the books and soap. The students took the books home for a Christmas gift. We read the story in school and they loved looking at the beautiful colors. They were very excited to take the books home and share them with their families. We talked about how colors are everywhere. I even had some students share their books with the class when we were virtual for a short while.

  The soap has really come in handy for the countless times we wash our hands everyday! Thank you for thinking of my class, we appreciate you!”
