• Celebrating Diversity With Our Young Learners!

  Funded Jul 17, 2021

  First of all, Thank you so very much for your kind and generous donations to make our project Celebrating Diversity With Our Young Learners a reality. When our Dolls from around the world and hello posters arrived I added them to the dramatic play center right away.

  As soon as I added the dolls from around the world in our dramatic play center our young learners were so excited. They started to play with them right away. It is a very popular center and they love taking turns using the different dolls. We are starting to have conversations about where each doll comes from.

  Thanks to your donations our dramatic play center has the items that our young learners needed to explore different cultures.”

• Laminator Creations!

  Funded May 4, 2021

  Thank you so very much to everyone that helped to fund our project Laminator Creations. Our young learners were so excited when they saw our package from Donor's Choose. The laminator that you helped to fund is a very handy tool in our classroom. I have used the laminator to laminate words for the word wall which students refer to on a daily basis as we are exploring new words.

  The students get so excited when they see their art projects laminated. Now their special projects can be preserved and saved for a long time. Our young students can look back at their projects and remember the fun things they did at school. Our class laminator will be used quite often for so many other projects that are coming up.

  Once again thank you so much for all of your kind and generous donations. We are so grateful to you all.”

• Imaginations Soaring Through Dramatic Play!

  Funded Dec 29, 2020

  First of all, we would like to thank you all for helping to fund our project, "Imaginations Soaring Through Dramatic Play!" Our young Pre-K friends were so excited when they saw the boxes from Donors Choose. The first thing they said was, "Mrs. Fernandez what did we get in those boxes?" They all wanted to help unpack the new items.

  Our young learners love the dramatic play center. Their favorite part is the kitchen. They started to role play right away. Their favorite items were the new fruits and vegetables. Another favorite was the birthday cake surprise. They love to pretend to sing happy birthday and cut the cake while they play together.

  Thank you so much for helping us make happy unforgettable memories for our young learners.”

• Young Scientists Ready to Explore!

  Funded Nov 6, 2020

  First of all thank you so much for funding our project "Young Scientists Ready to Explore!" Our young learners are starting to explore the sea life and plant life specimens. They are so very smart. One of my young learners stated, "That's a crab and it lives on the beach but this one is not alive." I was so proud of them as I heard their smart conversations on the different specimens they were observing. It is one of their favorite things in our science center.

  When the students saw all of our new materials set up on the table they were so curious. They wanted to know what everything was. They wanted to use all the items at once. I can't wait to see all the explorations that will be done this year with our new science center materials.

  Once again thank you so much for making this possible for our young learners.”

• Pre K Learners Ready to Build, Create, and Explore!

  Funded Aug 13, 2020

  First of all, we would like to thank all of our donors for helping to make our project a reality. The new resources we received have been great. The students are loving the magna tiles. In fact it is their favorite choice at center time. The magna tiles are a great way to improve fine motor skills. The feelings and buildings posters have been very helpful. In pre-k we explore our feelings on a daily basis. The feelings poster have been a great visual for exploring feelings. The buildings and landmarks posters has come in handy for the blocks and construction center. These posters help students get ideas when they are constructing in the block center.

  Our young learners were so excited when they saw our box of fun materials thanks to you and Donors Choose. They wanted me to open the magna tiles right away.

  Once again thank you for all of your kindness and support. Thanks to you our young learners education will be a great experience.”

• Basic Supplies Needed Please

  Funded Dec 10, 2018

  First of all I would like to thank you so much for providing my students with the basic supplies they needed to have a successful learning year. The students started to use the Expo markers to play math games and write on their small whiteboards. They have also started to use the chart paper, markers, and tape for class groups projects. The ink for our classroom room printer has helped us to print out important documents to support student lessons. The students love using the plastic sheet protectors for math games and learning stations.

  The students were so excited to see our package from Donors Choose. The first thing they wanted to do was see what was in the book. They were so so happy with the new supplies for the classroom. The students wanted to use the new markers to play math games right away.

  We are all so thankful for people like you that help our learning on a daily basis. The supplies you have helped to provide us with, will help my students on their learning journey. Once again thank you so much.”

• Reading Detectives on a Mission!

  Funded Nov 16, 2018

  Thank you so much for helping to fund our project Reading Detectives on a Mission! In the next few weeks we will be launching our mystery reading unit. This is such a fun reading unit. The students read like detectives. The students form claims about characters and support them with text evidence. During this unit the students study character actions, motivations, problems and solutions. The students love the mystery genre.

  The students have the opportunity to read every day in the classroom. The students are divided into leveled reading groups based on their reading levels. After the mini lesson they work together on the reading skill of the day.

  The students were so excited when we received our Donors Choose package of mystery books. They loved the beautiful books. Thank you so much for helping to make our future mystery reading unit a success. Your kindness and generosity has made a positive difference in the academic lives of my students. Happy Holidays. We are so grateful for your donations.”
