• Outdoor Play Village for Pre-K Students!

  Funded Sep 19, 2024

  I hope this letter finds you well and filled with joy. Today, I write to you with a heart full of gratitude for your generous donation towards our project of bringing playhouses to our Pre-K playground. Your kindness and support have touched our hearts deeply and have made a significant impact on the lives of our young learners.

  Our students cherish their outdoor playtime, a time filled with laughter, energy, and imaginative play. Until now, they have creatively utilized various parts of the playground to enact their playful scenarios, often playing 'house' without an actual house structure. Your donation has turned their imaginative play into a tangible reality, providing them with a set of beautiful playhouses where they can explore, create, and learn.

  These playhouses are not just structures; they are the foundation for developing critical skills in our children. Through playing house, our students will enhance their executive functioning skills by planning and organizing their play scenarios. They will learn the importance of sharing and communicating effectively with their peers, fostering a sense of community and cooperation. These are invaluable life skills that will serve them well beyond the playground.”

• Tablets for Education: Introducing Pre-K To Technology

  Funded Sep 18, 2024

  I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to express my profound gratitude for your generous support in integrating tablets into our Pre-K curriculum. This incredible addition has opened up a world of learning opportunities for our young students, significantly enhancing their educational journey in several impactful ways.

  The tablets have provided access to a variety of interactive and engaging educational apps that not only make learning fun but also support the development of crucial skills. We've observed remarkable improvements in cognitive abilities, fine motor skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving capabilities among our students. It's truly inspiring to see how these digital tools can complement traditional learning methods and stimulate young minds in such a positive manner.”

• Chairs for Outdoor Learning With Older Elementary Students in Harlem

  Funded Nov 29, 2023

  Happy New Year. I hope you are all well.

  Amazing! Thank you very much for supporting my classroom.

  I have written several Donors Choose projects this school year. The benefit of writing these grants are to supplement the cost of classroom supplies. My projects have included outdoor sheds, shade umbrellas, child/adult sized lightweight chairs and STEM learning items this year alone. Seventeen total have been fully funded within 5.6/years from Donors just like you!

  These classroom supplies have helped to build the capacity of learning tools that make for exciting Center Time activities. The learning I promote happens inside and outside the classroom.

  Our school has an Outdoor Learning Focus. The older Elementary students will now have 17.5 inch sized chairs fitting for their height. The students will benefit from new chairs in the classroom learning environment. The lightweight folding chairs will allow students to independently move them as needed to join outdoor learning under the new outdoor tent so we can hold class outdoors and stack for easy clean-up and storage.

  In total I have raised $9,900+ in grants through Donors Choose. THANK YOU.”

• Tables & All Weather Suits for Outdoor Learning

  Funded Oct 1, 2023

  Tremendous! Thank you very much for supporting my classroom.

  I have written several Donors Choose projects and been supported by community members such as yourself. The benefit of writing these grants are to supplement the cost of classroom supplies. My projects have included outdoor sheds, outdoor tables, shade umbrellas, child/adult sized lightweight chairs and STEM learning items this past year alone. Sixteen total have been fully funded within 5.4/years from Donors just like you!

  These classroom supplies have helped to build the capacity of learning tools that make for exciting Center Time activities. The learning I promote happens inside and outside the classroom.

  The students benefited from new tables in the classroom learning environment. The lightweight tables allowed the students to independently move them as needed to join another center inside the classroom; or for ease helped move them to outdoor learning. Some are placed in the outdoor shed for easy access to set up a quick learning environment. 1-2 days a week I can host Outdoor Breakfast, Outdoor Morning Meeting & Outdoor Centers with a 15min set-up. This could not be done before with the old heavy tables.

  Something as basic as tables can make a huge impact on the classroom environment and management.

  In total I have raised $9,106+ in grants through Donors Choose. THANK YOU.”
