  • Gross Motor Play to Help Build Young Muscles!

    Funded Mar 25, 2025

    First of all, thank you so very much for all of your support. Thanks to your kind and generous donations our project, "Gross Motor Play to Help Build Young Muscles has become a reality. Our young learners are really loving their new sensory stepping stones. They are having so much fun as they try to walk across the stepping stones path and balance themselves. These stepping stones are really helping our young learners try to keep their balance as they have fun in the playground.

    Our young learners were so happy when they saw their new materials arrive to the classroom. They really enjoy the new magnetic bowling set. It is so easy for them to set up and use with their classmates.

    Thanks to your help now our young learners have these amazing materials they can play with during our outdoor gross motor time.”

    Funded Feb 14, 2025

Our young learners were so excited when they saw their new materials arrive to the classroom. They especially loved the big magnetic upper and lower case letters.

    Our young learners now have a writing center filled with early literacy materials they need to help them with emergent reading and writing basic skills. The magnetic letter builders are helping them understand the different kinds of the lines that form letters as they explore and put the letter pieces together.

    The magnetic fishing game is very popular. Our students are trying to fish out the letters of their classmates name. Once again thank you so much for helping our young students have the materials they need for a successful writing center experience.”

Our young learners will be able to take a closer look at the small details of these different tree parts, now that we have a digital microscope.

My students come from a very diverse community with many different cultural backgrounds and languages. Most of the students in my school speak two languages and English is usually their second. Many of the third graders in my school struggle with basic skills. My students are very hard working and dedicated students. They are all wonderful and unique students. I know they can achieve great things.
