Access to Language
Funded Feb 13, 2024My students were very excitied to use the materials that were so kindly donated to us by your help! Some students used the felt set "Dress Me Up" as soon as we showed them the materials. They were so excited to dress up the felt people in various clothing and they engaged in very good discussions about what clothing is appropriate for various weather conditions. They shared stories of when they wore similiar clothing.
Students were very happy to use the sand paper letters to practice writing upper and lower case letters. Tracing the letters helped transfer their writing skills to paper. They also enjoyed listening to Froggy Gets Dressed and WAsher and Dryer's Big Job! These books helped build on the students' understanding of how to take care of clothes. My students use the white boards ALL day! They love them!
Thank you so much for making a positive impact on our class and investing in our future!”

Lets Explore Plants
Funded Mar 29, 2018Thank you so very much for your generous donations! When my students arrived the following day after the donors choose delivery was made, I set everything out for the children to explore them. They were enthralled by the fact that they will be able to grow their own plants by planting seeds that we received and observed them growing using the new magnifying glasses. We used our new paints to paint landscape pictures and enjoyed looking at Monet's Lilly pad paintings and Van Gogh's Starry Night paintings.
We enjoyed using all of the items we received and the students spoke often about plants and how they grow, smell, different types of plants and gave them a love of nature. Being a city school, I found that that was the most exciting thing the children received out of this. They began to realize that nature is all around and stopped to notice it. We did plant some flowers in front of our school that will grow in the years to come because of this project. What an amazing impact you have left on my students.
In the upcoming year I plan to use these items to help foster a love of nature, beauty, and exploration. Thank you once again for making this project possible!”
