• Math Tools for Hands-on Learning!

  Funded Dec 27, 2024

  My students were eager to open and excited to see their new math number racks! We were previously using diy ones and because of the frequent usage they kept falling apart.

  They love their sturdy new ones! We placed them on the trays (I was also able to purchase!) for easy access. Now each table has their own set of number racks making counting, adding, and subtracting a little easier until mental math is mastered. Having a tangible manipulative is key for this process and it makes individual learning easy and fun!”

• Creating a Welcoming Safe Place

  Funded Dec 7, 2024

  The classroom for young children is where we spend a majority of our day together. Creating a welcoming, organized and inviting space gives a sense of comfort and sets them up for success to begin their day ready to learn.

  Thank you so much for your support and generosity to help this vision become a reality.

  The students are always excited to see new things and learn. It's one of the many things that makes my love for early childhood! Seeing these new additions causes excitement and appreciation and we thank you.”

• WIGGLES and JIGGLES

  Funded Aug 13, 2021

  My students and I thank you so much, once again! It warms my heart to have been chosen for such great generosity. I have rearranged my classroom so we can get back to our small grouping and flexible seating after a very challenging past year.

  The class now has space with seating on the floor, comfy soft seating, wobble seating, as well as high table seating to choose from. They are allowed to choose a space in the classroom where they feel they can accomplish their best learning.

  When I first introduced this option their excitement was so fulfilling - they continue this excitement daily when it is time to choose our seating (they remind me every morning to grab the name cup so we can choose!).

  My goal for the upcoming year is to add a few more pieces so all students can have a choice everyday and eliminate the traditional style desks remaining.”

• Creating a Space for In-School Learners!

  Funded Sep 24, 2020

  Thank you! Our process started as we began by deciding on a theme. We voted and black and white polka dots with a wood paper was the winner!

  My students are enjoying their space and were thrilled to help put up new borders, paper, and bulletins! Having them involved in this process truly made it feel like their own.

  They were just as excited to create you thank you notes. Their words were, "wow that was so kind!" And "when I grow up I want to help classrooms too." They are such kind hearted beings and recognize that in others.”

• Classroom Social Distant School Supplies

  Funded Aug 12, 2020

  My students were so excited to come in and see that each of them had a designated space for their backpacks, lunches, and snack! Their smiles are priceless.

  They continually get compliments about their room and are more then willing to share that we were lucky enough to have donors that help us achieve our supplies!

  This support has allowed them to feel comfortable in their space within the classroom and as we are in a time of such uncertainty it warms my heart that I was able to give them that thanks to YOU!”
