Center Toys and Games
Funded Nov 25, 2024Thank you so much for donating to our project! Our students are really enjoying the materials!
The frog scale has motivated our students to explore counting, comparing numbers, thinking about what number is larger and what number is smaller. This scale is wonderful because it balances out the weighted number on one side of the scale, and when you add that amount of frogs to the other end of the scale they balance out! The students are really fascinated with that aspect!
Our dry erase boards are also promoting writing of letters, numbers, simple sight words, and even practicing writing their names!
We are all enjoying our new materials and it is all due to you! Thank you once again for supporting our project!”

Learning Through Discovery and Play
Funded Nov 25, 2024Thank you so much for choosing our project to fund. Our students are enjoying the new materials in the kitchen, especially the new coffee maker and smoothie blender. These materials are utilized daily by all of our students in our classroom. The shopping cart comes in handy. It holds a lot of pretend food boxes, and pretend cans of food.
The light table is a wonderful addition to our science center. The light table is battery operated and it's very easy for the students to turn on and off and are able to change the colors on the light table. The students use the colorful see-through shapes to create new colors by adding colors on top of one another for blending purposes. The kinetic sand has been added to our sensory bin where the students use mini tools to dig build and create.
On behalf of our Pre K students we would like to once again say thank you for choosing our project to fund and making learning fun!”

Celebrating the Holidays!
Funded Dec 5, 2023On behalf of our pre-kindergarten students we would like to thank everyone for funding our celebrating the holidays project! When we received our materials, the students were thrilled. We first set up our Kinara and menorah so we were able to learn about Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and light our menorah one candle at a time for each day Hanukkah was celebrated.
Our clothing rack came just in time for us to utilize it in our clothing unit. It is a sturdy piece of furniture and the students really enjoyed using their fine motor skills to hang an assortment of clothing.
The students were also excited to receive our new radio which comes in handy, if students want to listen to a book on CD one at a time.
All of this was possible with your generous donations to have our project funded. Every day when we see our students utilizing these materials. We will be forever grateful.”
