  • Build, Build, Build!

    Funded Nov 30, 2021

    Thank you very much for your donations to our classroom! The children were so excited to receive the new items and they were very anxious to get to play with them.

    They have loved the new Lego table! Our old one was breaking apart so the Legos would not connect to the table. They are now able to build high towers and love doing so with a much sturdier foundation.

    The individual Lego sets have been a real hit. They have loved the Super Hero and Frozen Legos and have engaged in imaginative play with them.

    The new table and chair set for our house center has been wonderful! The children have loved pretending to set the table and serve meals for their friends. Watching them use their imaginations in this center has been a delight!

    Thank you again for donating to our classroom and helping to replace older materials! The new items are well loved!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Johnson

  • Pretend Play Fun!

    Funded Feb 19, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding our classroom grant! The students were absolutely thrilled when we received the items! Our housekeeping furniture has lasted for over 20 years and was in need of replacement! Your grant allowed us to order a new kitchen and new baskets of food! The children were thrilled with the new things to play with.

    We also received new white boards. They are very high quality and will last a long time. We will use these to practice writing letters and words. d.

    We are strong believers in the importance of play in the development of young children. Thank you for providing new materials so we can see our students develop and thrive through play based learning!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Johnson

  • Clean Air, Clean Books!

    Funded Oct 22, 2020

    Thank you so much for the air filters and books for our classroom! We are very appreciative to have the extra measures to help eliminate germs in our classroom this year! Thankfully we haven't had any cases of Covid in our classroom this year and we are sure the air filters have helped with this! We are also very appreciative of the books to read! We work hard to become great readers and the more books we have the better readers we become! Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom!”

  • Read, Read, Read!

    Funded Nov 26, 2018

    Thank you so very much for the new books for our classroom! In January we will begin sending home books for the children to read each night at home. We call these "Baggy Books." Thanks to your generosity we now have many more books on the children's reading levels to send home. This will give them an opportunity to read every night on their level and increase their reading skills! We will also use these books to read in small groups in the classroom as we target different skills to help us become better readers. We thank you very much for your support and for helping to foster the love of reading in these sweet kindergarten children!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Johnson

I have taught kindergarten for 18 years and am in my 15th year in my current classroom and school. Many of the materials I have are getting old and are in need of replacing. With the never ending cuts to education, there is just not money available to replace things in our classrooms. The money we receive to fund our classrooms is mostly used for things like construction paper, glue, paint, markers, etc. These consumable supplies must be replaced every year and leave little to no extra to replace larger items that wear out over time. I am a firm believer in maintaining a developmentally appropriate classroom and know the importance of play! As Dr. Fred Rogers said, "Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." Please help us replace some of our materials so my 24 kindergarteners can grow their imaginations and continue to learn through play! The will love using the new couch, table and chair set, and kitchen play sets to expand creative play. These items will encourage the use of their imaginations while allowing them to role play. The multicultural food set will be especially helpful due to the large amount of international students that come to our school due to the close proximity of Clemson University.
