Pre-K All the Way!
Funded Aug 15, 2023My Pre-K kiddos were so excited when I put out all the new toys in centers! We have been using the CD player in our listening center - the kids love listening to the stories!
I think the building blocks have been the biggest hit! I am so thankful my kids have large blocks to build fine motor and large motor skills! The students love the Soup Cans with the alphabet pictures. The sensory tables are amaing and the students LOVE playing with the different items in each one! I have already used the batteries in classroom toys and we use the cleaning wipes daily in Pre-K! Every item is truly a blessing for my students!
I am so thankful for your donations!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The State of Oklahoma.Pre-K Play, Create and Learn!
Funded Nov 3, 2022I am so thankful for the donation to my kidddos and classroom.
My students were so excited each time they saw a box delivered! We opened some of the boxes together and they were so excited to see each new item. We went over each item as a class - how to play a new game and how to take care of our special new things.
My students use the toys and manipulatives every day in the classroom. We have learning centers and free choice play centers in Pre-K. The sensory noodles are amazing the kids love playing with those in the sensory bucket. The sensory sand is also in a sensory bucket - these are very popular in Pre-K! The trace and write the alphabet is in the writing center with pencils, markers and crayons. The alphabet activities are in the ABC center. I am so thankful for these alphabet items since we focus on letter recognition in Pre-K. My ABC center needed hands on manipulatives for students. The magnetic counting maze is a big hit! It is in the math center and the students love moving the magnets. We use the crafts almost every day. I use the double sided tape for crafts, we used the glue gun to make Christmas crafts, and we have used the lacing yarn with tips on many lacing projects. They are almost gone! We just used the pink yarn to lace Valentine hearts. I am so grateful for the sweeper and the folding wagon. They are used daily! I could not live without the sweeper now in Pre-K!
Thank you again for supporting Oklahoma students and teachers. I am building a Pre-K room and I appreciate all the help I can get to create a fun learning environment for my students!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Oklahoma State Department of Education.Lighting Up Pre-K!
Funded Feb 8, 2022We can't thank you enough for donating to our classroom. When my Pre-K students saw me turn on the light table for the first time they were so excited! I heard so many Oooohs and Wow's! It is really something special to a 4 year old! They ask to go to the Light Up Center every day!
We use the Light Up Table and manipulatives in a play center every day in the classroom. I also use it for an alphabet and math rotation center. I switch out the manipulatives for the table and the students love the colors! They love working with the letters and using the variety of buckets to sort, make patterns, count and design pictures.
I have 24 Pre-K students that need fine motor practice and materials that they will love and want to play with in the classroom! This Light Up table is an amazing learning tool!
Thank you so much for giving my kiddos such an awesome table! It is definitely something they will remember!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Panda Cares and one other donor.Play to Learn Games!
Funded Aug 11, 2020I am so thankful for your generous donations! The learning games have been a huge hit with my kiddos! They love using the panda bears on the Let's Measure game! I love that it is a 'hands on' activity for children! The Sight Word Chest has been amazing for students to practice sight words in a fun, meaningful way. The Alphabet Play-Doh mats are amazing with or without Play-Doh! My students use them to trace the letters with their fingers and I have watched students line the cards up in ABC order! We use the games daily in our Literacy Centers. Thank you so much for providing materials that children love and want to use every day in our classroom. Thank you for helping to make learning fun for kindergarten students!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 2 other donors.ABC... Come Learn With Me!
Funded May 28, 2020Thank you so much for helping me to create a fun and happy learning environment for students! Every student and teacher that comes into my classroom goes straight to the alphabet carpet! They love the colors and how bright it makes the classroom. The students love stretching out on the carpet for games and reading books! We use the carpet to sing alphabet songs and the students love finding the letters! Students try to find the letters in their name and it helps students know where to sit during carpet time! Every student has an alphabet square for their special spot. We are so grateful to you for supporting students and education! The alphabet carpet truly changes my whole classroom! It turns our room into a 'Kindergarten" room where students love to play and learn!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 4 other donors.Listen, Learn, Read!
Funded May 6, 2019I am so excited to use our new CD/Tape player. We have only had it a few days and we are already using it throughout our school day. We are using it for movement and movement with music, Literacy Center Time and playing music when it is time to clean up centers. Today we danced to the Hokey Pokey and enjoyed listening to stories with CD's.
Children love listening to stories with music and sound effects. What a fun way to work on book orientation, following print, sight words and vocabulary!
I am so excited to use the Bluetooth feature so I can play music that I have downloaded for our class!
We will use the player EVERY DAY in Kindergarten! Thank you for supporting my class and enriching the learning process with music and stories!”

Funded Feb 16, 2019Thank you so much for donating to my classroom! The students were so excited to see the boxes arrive! It was so fun to open them together and see their surprise! We had lots of oohs and ahhs!
We are using the Play-Doh during literacy centers to practice letters and sight words. What a fun way to practice! The Play-Doh also helps develop fine motor skills. They love the all different colors. Students may also pick Play-Doh during their free choice play time!
We are using the Dotters during literacy centers to make letters and words. The students can use them during a free choice play center. We will start using them for counting and addition soon.
We are using the Magic Boards during literacy centers and play centers! The kids love writing letters and sight words on the boards and then watching them magically disappear. I have also used the magic boards during small group instruction.
These items enhance the learning process and help make learning fun! Thank you for your generosity! Thank you for making education a priority! My class loves learning!”
