Little Rembrandts From the Big Apple
Funded Jan 30, 2022I am so fortunate to have wonderful people out there like you who care about the education of young children. I am truly grateful and very excited to start working with the children. I really appreciate this gift especially since I just ran out of many supplies. I know this doesn't sound like an emergency but when you teach Pre-K it is.
The children will love these new materials and it will definitely help with their fine motor skills. The first activity I am going to have the children do is make shapes with the playdoh . They will also draw and write about their animal with their new markers. The children love use our new paint to add to their new work. The children will absolutely love playing with their new playdoh sets as well! They will work in pairs and this will help them learn social skills such as cooperation, sharing and turn taking.
I will take pictures so you can see how much joy these new materials will bring to our classroom. You will not be able to see an improvement in their fine motor skills but I can assure you that these materials will make a big difference. The children love art and if they don't do it in Pre-K they may not get another chance. I love to see them use their imagination and the burst of creativity that happens afterward. They feel so proud and the sense of accomplishment is priceless. Thank you so much for your support and generosity.”

Funded Jan 24, 2022We are so excited with all the great donations that will be delivered very soon!!
Thank You so much for funding our proposal for snacks and soap. I am so appreciative and these items are definitely needed. My preschoolers are so active and we constantly need snacks. We will use these yummy treats in the upcoming months for holidays like Valentine's Day and for a pretend camping trip.
Snacks are needed for our kids because they get hungry and look forward to a treat. A snack helps the children stay focused and will give them energy and improve their mood. The children will be so excited to receive a treat in school and these are memories they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Thank you so much for the soap as well. I need to keep my classroom clean for health reasons and to keep germs at bay. The children are washing their hands throughout the day and we are always running out of soap. The children will surely benefit from spending the day in a pleasant, clean room with nice, clean hands. A clean classroom helps children stay healthy and simply makes everyone feel better!
Thank You so much for your thoughtfulness and concern for a terrific group of PreK students. Happy New Year!”

Funded Jan 12, 2022Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! I am looking forward to seeing the happy smiles on the faces of our preschoolers when they receive their new comfy pillows. The children are small, loving, curious, energetic, and always look forward to their nap time in class.
They need this pillow for rest time as they become overtired and exhausted from their busy, stimulating schedule. Rest promotes alertness as well as a sense of security. We will have a few children who cry so hopefully, these new pillows will make them comfortable and give them a sense of security. They will be soft and cuddly and will keep the children cozy for the Winter months. They will surely have a peaceful nap. I also want them to learn to snuggle up with a good book and a pillow before they nap.
Thank You as well for funding our proposal for snacks. I am so appreciative and my young students will benefit greatly. My preschoolers are so active, it's no wonder they get hungry throughout the day and need a snack. Snacks are needed for our kids because they get hungry and look forward to a treat. A snack helps the children stay focused and will give them needed nutrients and energy. A snack will help improve their mood and keep their blood sugar balanced.

The children will love these snacks and it will make their school year a fun and memorable one. We will be able to use the snacks for not only "snack time" but for parties!! I will take pictures so you can see how much joy these new snacks will bring to our classroom.

Funded Dec 21, 2021Thank You so much for helping me give the children in my care a wonderful PreK experience. I truly appreciate your generous donation and concern for our young learners!
We so appreciate the materials you have donated to us. These materials will give the children an opportunity to create their own snowman, put together Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, make bubbles, read stories and so much more! The children will truly benefit from these materials. Thank You so very much for all terrific items for my Pre-Kindergarten classroom. These materials will provide lots of fun while building critical thinking skills! The children will love these manipulatives and will be learning so many early childhood concepts at the same time!
The snacks are also so important to have on hand for when children are hungry or cranky or forget to bring in their own snack. They become very upset when other children have a snack and they do not. This is why I like to have a variety on hand for these moments! I also need snacks for birthday celebrations, publishing parties and holiday parties. Thank You so much for all your support!!”
