  • A Book a Day, Makes you Smarter in Every Way!

    Funded May 6, 2020

    I am so excited to get our books for our Book Library in the classroom. I was so looking forward to seeing the students use them in their book center for looking at the pictures and learning new words. Unfortunately, COVID19 has stopped us in our tracks. The students have been remote learning and now I have been assigned as the remote teacher for our Pre-K children that are staying remote even though school is open. This means that my classroom remains empty. I will be using our new books when I am reading to the remote leaners and hopefully one day soon my classroom will be full again with students who are eager to learn new things. We will put these amazing new books out in the book center for our students to enjoy. They will get to learn about books, understand print concepts, learn about sequencing of events, story retelling, and learn new sight words. I look forward to sharing these books for years to come. Again, thank you for helping me reach my goal and expanding our book library with new books for the students to love.”

  • Learning Through Hands-on Activities

    Funded Oct 18, 2019

    My students and I have really enjoyed the new sand table and water table. The students are able to use these tables during our indoor center time. They all want to play with the sand or water and we have to set a timer so that each child has an opportunity to play. The children really enjoy when we put bubbles in the water table. They think it is so much fun to splash the water and create more bubbles.

    The students were excited to see us fill each table with the water and sand for the first time. They wanted to help in any way possible. We were able to turn it into a sorting activity by having the students gather the sand or water toys and put them in each corresponding table.

    In the future, we plan on using our tables for lessons regarding the sink or swim technique. This involves using different items to see which ones stay afloat and which ones do not. We will also be using the sand table to perform some measurements using measuring cups. Overall, we will get a lot of learning and a lot of fun out of our new tables. We appreciate the donations and will take care of our new materials.”

Over the years as our Pre-K children play with our materials, they wear the materials out. For example, our puzzles have pieces missing, dramatic play items get lost or broken, play clothes get worn-out looking, and our science animal figures are not as bright as they used to be. Our children use these materials to gain knowledge about everyday life. They learn the basic self help skills in dramatic play. For example, the dolls are used to help the students learn to care of people and how to take care of things. The role play outfits are for the students to express their interests in what they want to be when they grow up. All the blocks are are used for constructing things and using the various types gives the students the creativity in what they build. I have asked for science items such as shells and animals so the children can discover different types of environment and understand animals. We would like to have some real plants in our room so the hothouse would be a good exhibit for the children to see how things grow. Also, the math items and art items will help the children in using their skills in counting and creating different things to express their imagination in art. Throughout all the centers they use their critical thinking skills and knowledge to build and show us how things can be done. Having updated materials that are in good condition will ensure that all of my students will be successful in our classroom.
