  • Holiday Cheer!

    Funded Jan 4, 2025

    With such gratitude we write to you to thank you and how you made our students so incredibly happy this holiday season. Our families were so very grateful for the beautiful gifts they received and the cheer it brought to our students faces.

    After a wonderful party in the classroom we were able to give our students their holiday presents to start their holiday season off and they were beyond grateful.

    We truly are very thankful for our generous giving during the school year and the holiday season!”

  • Spreading Holiday Cheer!

    Funded Nov 14, 2023

    This was one of our favorite times of the year to gift our students with such wonderful end of the year gifts! They had such a nice time receiving these beautiful gifts... the bags that were filled with books, toys, and holiday cheer!

    We are very grateful for these donations that made our students holiday breaks so wonderful!

    After we had our holiday party we gathered on the carpet to hand out the holiday bags to our students and they waited patiently to see what they received! It was truly a joy being able to give our students these gifts!”

  • Books for Little Learners

    Funded Apr 3, 2023

    These books that were bought with the donations were used to help our children during their studies in the classroom! These books brought new life into our classroom and shared different experiences with our classroom that opened up new conversations for the students and teachers.

    Some of the text and pictures in these books were unlike anything that weve seen before and it opened our imagination in the classroom!

    Our students are able to read a story before morning meeting and after before naptime, replenishing our book collection helped our students to focus and enjoy more reading!”

  • November Classroom Essentials!

    Funded Dec 6, 2022

    With this project our classroom was able to replace all old containers that may have been broken or dull in color and replace with new containers that allow the children to sort and put away their toys on their own. They were also very excited about the new tools for measuring including the liquid cups and the tape measures. While we were learning about buildings our children were able to explore better about measuring things and become "builders" in the block center.

    We are very grateful for your donations!”

  • Surprises for Young Learners

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    With the help from your contributions and donors choose we were able to give our children in the classroom new playdough, & soft plush toys for each one. Our children love to explore and play with playdough so each one having their own in the classroom is a delight to them.

    With the rest of the donations we were able to continue bringing light to our classroom with the bright ink that helps invite the children to learn and enjoy it!

    We are continuously grateful for the contributions to our classroom!”

  • Colorful Classroom

    Funded Apr 27, 2022

    This project helped to make our classroom BRIGHTER more inviting and fun! With the ink from this project we are able to bring our learning to real life and show the children real pictures of what they are learning about! The colorful materials in the classroom are much more inviting to the students and make their learning experience more enjoyable!

  • It’s Pre-K Literacy Time

    Funded Apr 6, 2022

    This project meant a lot to our classroom because it gave our students new literacy items to explore such as the wooden letter sorter. This material allows our students to explore letters that they see in the classroom and try to make them themselves.

    The books that were donated in this project opened our students imagination and sense of humor! How to catch a mermaid was one of our favorites!

    We are very grateful for the literacy materials donated to our classroom and we look forward to continue using them in our daily routines.”

My students are from diverse cultural backgrounds, and celebrating their cultures with a variety of multicultural materials will only enhance the learning experience. I have requested musical instruments, such as a Mexican Guiro and a Chinese Gong, so that the students can hear distinct musical sounds that are inherently part of specific cultures. The dolls represent more than one culture, and the dolls will be used for role play and as story props. The radio will be used to play vibrant and colorful music representing many cultures around the world. The multicultural books would bring many cultures to life with the author's words and illustrator's pictures, which will be an integral piece of our classroom library. A new school year with classroom materials that will enhance the learning experience is a must. I have requested bulletin board paper and borders, so that my students walk into a classroom that is inviting and welcoming because young children are intrigued by colors and shapes. I want the best for my students, and these materials will help start the new school year on the right path.
