  • Headphone Frenzy

    Funded Jan 4, 2024

    I would like to thank you again for your generous gift to my class. My students were very excited when they saw the box, and they wanted to begin using them right away. These headphones have helped my students with their focus during their individualize instruction on IXL. My students have echoed that they can now focus on their online enrichment activities without hearing the sound from their classmates' computers. My students love how comfortable the headphones are; therefore, they are spending a longer period on the computer during their individualized instructional time. These headphones have provided my students with the perfect support for their greatest individualized instruction. It allows my students to have their own learning space, and for that, I am truly grateful. Again, Thank you. May God continue to bless you.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Gandara

    Funded Dec 28, 2010

    I would like to thank you once more for your generous donation. It has made a huge difference in my classroom. I am now able to give students homework daily. My students love writing different stories. They are now able to have different choices of paper for writing. We've had 3 publishing parties since we've received the paper. I am now able to make copies of books that I do not have enough copies for each child. The children are happy to have copy of their own worksheets. I am truly thankful. ”

  • The Power of Pre-Kindergarten!

    Funded Jul 29, 2009

    I would like to extend my greatest appreciation for generous donation. The materials that your donation provided has been a hit with my students. They enjoy going to the ABC center to match the pictures with the letters. They truly enjoy playing alphabet bingo. While they play alphabet bingo, they love to associate a student's name with the corresponding letter. Colors and shapes also provide a lot of fun with their friends. I have created special literacy areas in my classroom for them to explore with each of these activities.

    The curriculum guide has been a huge help. When I first began in September, I was not sure where to begin . The curriculum guide has given me a great foundation. It helped me with room set up for pre-k students. I 've received a lot of compliments from parents about the room set up. It assisted me with creative ideas for centers. These fun activities has been very beneficial for my students. Without your generous donation, this could not have been possible. Thank you for believing in the power of pre-k.”
