• Help Us Save & Protect the Earth from Plastics

  Funded Sep 1, 2023

  Thank you very much for helping our class to do our part to protect the earth and make a positive impact by simply switching to reusable cups and other reusable drinkware.

  By using reusable drinkware we have been able to serve as models for other people to follow. One other class has followed our lead and our families have been doing the same. This has been one of the ways our class is helping to preserve our environment.

  With the supplies you have provided us, we have been able to utilize the cups and wash them daily. The students love the red cups.

  Thank you so much!”

• Let's Learn to be Creative through Art in STEAM

  Funded Oct 14, 2022

  Thank you for providing my students with art materials that will help get them to get excited about the A for art in STEAM.

  We have created an art center where our students can go to explore, be creative and express their feelings and ideas as every child is an artist at heart. We hope this is creating a place that promotes higher level thinking, problem solving skills, and is rich in vocabulary. Our hope is that through the art activities the students can learn and develop skills for all learning domains (language, literacy, math, science, social studies, fine motor, gross motor, and social skills). So far it has been a fun place in the classroom that allows our students to create freely.”

• Materials to Support Learning

  Funded Mar 6, 2022

  Thank you for providing me the supplies to help create fun and engaging learning activities for my students. Learning through art projects, work jobs, and hands on activities created excitement for my students. The white board helped me to present lessons to my preschool aged students as they are highly visual and hands on learners. These materials have enabled my students to move forward in their academics, creativity and social and emotional skills as well. My students are a happy bunch!

  Thank you so much!”

• Developing Language Skills

  Funded Mar 2, 2022

  Thank you so very much for providing us the opportunity to help my students with their communication skills. Through the use of physical movement activities provided, I was able to help my students to improve in their receptive and expressive communication skills. The use of building with the large cubes, wagon rides, playing with bubbles and riding toys motivated and encouraged my students to use their language skills.

  My parents were pleasantly surprised their child was able to describe their feelings, share their experiences, make requests and make choices verbally. The parents were so happy to communicate with their child.

  My students are ready for Kindergarten!”

• Embrace Your Differences and Similarities

  Funded Nov 15, 2021

  Thank you for support in providing me materials that will help to educate my students about diversity. I recently did a lesson on "All About Me". In this lesson I discussed the differences and similarities such as hair color, skin color and eye color and that it's okay that we have these differences.

  The goal for my students to learn to be kind, respectful, to know that it's okay to be different and to learn that in the different culture there will be differences, but they are equally important.”

• Classroom Basics to Start Our School Year

  Funded Nov 15, 2021

  Thank you very much for your generous donation. My students are doing a unit on all about me and I've been discussing how we are the same and different. We started with discussing the color of our skin and eyes and then the foods from the different countries that are grandparents were born. I'm hoping with this lesson they will begin to understand and to embrace the differences in themselves and others.

  Thank you for helping me to set up my students to become successful and happier people by providing me with wonderful resources.”

• Activities to Support Learning from Anywhere

  Funded Nov 15, 2021

  We're are back to school again for in-person learning. When my class returned they were so excited with all the new materials. It has been so great to send home materials that support in class learning for language arts, math and fine motor skills. This has given our students the opportunity to practice skills learned in school from anywhere such as home or waiting for a sibling to finish soccer practice. Parents have been very happy and excited to see what their child is able to do academically and do with their fine motor skills. They have been able to see them sort by insect and practice their fine motor skills through art activities.

  Thank you very much for providing my students! I am so grateful!”
