  • Health Class Healthy Me

    Funded Dec 26, 2022

    Thank you for helping my students understand that germs are invisible to the naked eye and that they must use special tools to see germs. The students loved seeing and feeling the smoke ( steam ) that flowed through the diffuser. They often ask to smell the scent of the day up close when they enter the class.

    My students enjoyed the snacks and now understand that treats and snack are different. We talked about sorting fruits and vegetables and where potato chips and candy fit in their diets and meals.

    Thank you for helping me create fun lessons”

  • What's in the Air?

    Funded Dec 14, 2021

    Thank you so much, the air purifier and the essential oils have really help my students become calmer and more alert to the smells in our classroom. The students enjoy looking at the different colors the oil diffuser displays in different cycles. They also comment on the puffs of air it emits. We talk about the different streams of smoke and how the smells increase and decrease with the different air speeds. Thank you for helping the children sleep and breath better. I have even seen a decrease in colds and sneezing.”

  • I Can Tell You About My 5 Senses

    Funded Feb 16, 2021

    Thanks for allowing me to give my students the ability to expand their understanding of their five senses through hands on activities. It is important for young children to experience real life events and these wonderful snacks we do just that. Experiencing texture, taste, smell, not to mention sight of things they often desire, but sometimes rarely have the chance to enjoy due to other family needs will be priceless. The opportunity to not only share real life experiences of needs and wants as well as the 5 senses will increase their willingness and appreciation for learn.”

  • Fresh Air Helps Us Learn Better

    Funded Dec 10, 2020

    Thanks for helping me provide a safer environment for learning.

    It will be hard for my three year old's to keep their mask on all day, but utilizing the two air purifiers will greatly improve their and my safety. I really appreciate your kindness and my babies will also. Many students and parents are unaware of allergies at this age and these purifiers will aid them in preventing sneezes and coughs due to seasonal allergies.

    Finally my hope is that providing cleaner air will help students become more focused and better thinkers due to better air quality.”

  • I Need ABC and 123

    Funded Oct 3, 2020

    The scholars and their parents were full of smiles. My parents were very happy to receive material that sparked motivation and promoted hands on engagement for there busy and inquisitive toddlers. The students enjoyed building and writing their names on their new white boards. Unfortunately I was unable to take pictures but many of the parents later shared video of their child using the white board and letters. Students are taking new interest in writing and creating shapes these gifts are allowing their parents new ways to interact with their young children.”

These magnetic letters and number will allow my baby scholars to identify and recognize the letters in their names and count them. These magnetic letters will help my scholars develop their fine and large motor stills. Scholars will engage with the teacher by physically moving and identifying letters, numbers and shapes. Helping my scholars stay focused on the lesson is my goal. Using the material in this multi learning magnetic tool will help my parents engage physical application of hands on teaching and learning as I present virtual lessons. The end result is seeing the sparkle of deep understanding in their eyes and smiles on their faces.
