  • Tired Pre-K Kids Need Rest Mats

    Funded Jun 17, 2019

    "Are these for us?", my children exclaimed as I opened the boxes of mats. The children were so excited to see these bright, colorful, new mats. I assured them that the mats were for them and we would use them during rest time that very day. My students had huge grins on their faces as they laid down on the new, comfortable mats. They had such an easy time resting.

    Before your generous donation, we had to worry about if my children's mats had enough stuffing in them to provide a comfortable or stable place to lay down. My students would bring me pieces of stuffing that had fallen out of the large rips in their ten year old mats. Our school simply did not have the resources to replace them. Getting these mats and mat covers for rest time has really made things so much better for my students.

    My children are now able to get the rest that they need, and recharge their batteries before embarking on the play based learning that fills them with knowledge and experience. We are truly grateful for your donation!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Weintraub - Thomas

  • Find Out About Feelings

    Funded Dec 22, 2018

    It is with a full heart that my students and I thank you for your very generous donation. We absolutely love the feelings dolls, puzzles and mirrors. When my children come in every morning, they want to get them out so they can show their classmates how they feel. The materials have really opened up discussion about feelings and how to manage them effectively.

    These materials have given my students an outlet to express themselves and understand how they can support their peers, however they are feeling. For example, when one of my kids gets the sad doll, the other children gather around him/her and try to brighten his/her mood. The difference in my students' understanding of emotions and coping skills is visible due to your kind contribution to our classroom. We are very grateful.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Weintraub - Thomas

Many of my students come from homes where they speak languages other than English. School is the only place they hear or learn English. Hearing these stories read aloud on CD will help increase their language skills, comprehension and speaking skills. Children can choose to come to the listening center and hear familiar books again and again, to their delight. Being able to hear books read aloud on CD will engage my students and help them learn to love reading and books. Pre-k sets the stage for all the other grades. If I can get them to love reading now, they are set up for success in the following grades. Hearing a book read aloud on CD helps students see how the words on the page can come alive. It helps him/her focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audiobooks also give students an important introduction to listening — a skill that he/she must master in order to learn to read. Help build tomorrow's readers today!
