  • Fun in the Sun!

    Funded May 8, 2024

    I would like to thank you once again for your generous donation to my end of the year classroom project! We have our carnival and passing out of gifts and certificates this Friday and I know that my students will without a doubt be elated to see their gifts! I cannot wait to see the smiles on the faces of my students! The HTV vinyl allowed me to give a personalized touch to their buckets and popsicle holders. These children truly deserve all of these materials so I am really excited to share with them and have you to thank for it.

    I truly appreciate your generosity!”

  • As Picasso Said, Every Child Is an Artist!

    Funded Apr 17, 2024

    I would like to thank you once again for your generous donation to help me in completing my project! We used the canvasses amd acrylic paint already for my annual Mama's Day painting event. Everyone loved the art materials for their special keepsake. We plan to use the materials for a Father's Day painting session in a few weeks as well.

    The glue sticks and copier paper have been extremely useful as well in our classroom. Our glue stick stash had been pretty depleted so we are truly grateful for new ones!

    You are truly appreciated!”

  • How Do You Self-Regulate?

    Funded Apr 26, 2024

    I would like to thank you all once again for your generous donations! I truly appreciate your generosity towards my classroom! As the packages arrived, I opened them with my class as we went over our Morning Message. With each item, I described what it was and how we can utilize it in class. We passed the item around so each child could have an opportunity to feel it and learn it's proper use.

    These materials will be extremely useful in teaching and maintaining self-regulation in my classroom! Already, the children have been excitedly working with the materials during Work Time!”

  • Curious George, Curious You! Let's Read Together!

    Funded Dec 1, 2023

    I wanted to begin with a huge "thank you" once again! We truly appreciate your generous donation to our classroom project! Our class was thrilled when we read them a new Curious George story. They lkved talking sbout the illustrations and discussing what George was doing and whst they may do. To say they were excited is an understatement.

    The class sits and reads the book from this project during the day. This has expanded focus and listening skills for some children and has pushed them to look forward to our reading time. They will each receive a copy of this book from the order as a gift once we approach the end of the year. Thank you again!”

  • Pete The Cat Inspires A Love For Reading!

    Funded Nov 29, 2023

    I wanted to begin with a huge "thank you" once again! We truly appreciate your generous donation to our classroom project! Our class was thrilled when we presented them with their own Pete the Cat book! To go along with the book, we also purchased each child their very own stuffed Pete the Cat doll to read to. To say they were excited is an understatement.

    The class sits and reads the books from this project to their Pete the Cat during the week. This has expanded focus and listening skills for some children and has pushed them to look forward to our reading time.”

  • A Spot for Everyone

    Funded Sep 7, 2022

    My students were so excited to have new carpet squares when we received them!

    They are used daily throughout the day! The children love to assist in arranging the carpet squares on the floor for our Morning Message, Large Group Time, Small Group Time, and when they await dismissal.

    The squares provide the children with their own personal space to work, dance, sit, etc. They are extremely helpful in providing a visual for the children to understand personal space, which is a huge concept in pre-k.

    The squares have also been useful for when we have classroom visitors. The children sit on them and are attentive.

    We thank you again!”

  • Don't Stop Shining!

    Funded Sep 7, 2022

    My paraprofessional and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous donation which helped fund our project! Although we hoped to have this for last year's "End of the Year" gifts to assist our children in their transition to kindergarten and continue learning over summer vacation, we created baskets to give our current students.

    We let the children know that they have amazing surprises that they will be receiving from amazing funders. They are so excited and cannot wait to use everything!”

  • Every Child Is an Artist

    Funded Nov 15, 2021

    Thank you so very much for your generous donation! My class was extremely excited when the materials arrived!

    My class is full of highly creative, artistic children this year so the materials have been a blessing! They truly love the paint sticks and dot painters and have used them so much already!

    We have plans of using the acrylic paints and canvas panels for upcoming activities, which I am looking forward to! The construction paper has been a lifesaver as well because they are drawing several pictures daily!

    Thank you once again for your generosity! It is truly appreciated!”

  • It's All About the Bare Necessities

    Funded Nov 15, 2021

    Thank you so very much for your generous donation! My class was extremely excited when the materials arrived!

    The ink for my printer has been so useful for printing out photos and activities for class, as well as the laminating sheets! My students are highly into art this year and went through their first set of markers that we had, so it is great to have the class pack of markers. They spend a great deal of time working with the play dough, tape, and craft sticks during Work Time when they have a choice of which materials they will be working with. The dry erase boards have been used several times already to work on their writing skills, and letter and number recognition.

    We're looking forward to more activities in which we will be utilizing the materials for the remainder of the school year! Thank you again for helping us out! It is truly appreciated!”

  • Writing Our Days Away

    Funded Sep 1, 2021

    We have been utilizing our journals quite often! We started the year off using the, "How Are You Feeling?" journals. It helped children in discussing how they were feeling and a reason for it. Also, we added the "My First Journal" to the classroom. The children are responding to activities in their journals, as well as drawing their plans for our Work Time and recalling what they did with a drawing. We have started incorporating more writing with the help of these journals.

    The children were really excited to have their own journals to write and draw in. They go to the bins on their own sometimes to write and draw in them.

    We plan to continue using the journals throughout the school year and will soon add on our word journals as we focus more on writing.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Hollowell
