  • Cricut Refill

    Funded May 10, 2023

    Thank you for all of your generous donations to my project! My project was created to replenish materials I needed for my cricut maker that I received from a previous project. With this project the items that were ordered, enabled me to enhance the environment with learning tools created with these wonderful materials.

    I am honored to have had a special person like you that is able and willing to donate to projects like mine that touch the lives of some our youngest learners.

    Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Smith

  • Outdoor Fun and Exploration

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Thank you for helping to fund our Donor's Choose project! We were able to get many fun toys and outside activities to do while playing on our courtyard. The stepping stones have been an extremely popular activity as the children love to walk across them. The students will use the small cones in make-believe play as well as using them in an obstacle course. They will use the cones to pretend they are ice cream cone and ask each other what flavor would you like. These toys have made our outside time fun and exciting again!

    Thank you again!!”

  • Creating With a Cricut

    Funded May 2, 2022

    Thank you for the wonderful donations for these young learners. The cricut has been a life saver for these wonderful students. I have completed many projects for these little learners. I have been able to create visual cues the students can follow while waiting in line and they love picking the object to stand on. The students also enjoy following the the arrows and directions the sensory walk provides for them. I cannot wait to create many more projects for the students in the future. Thank you again for donating.”

  • Protect Us

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    I wanted to thank you for your generous donation! The money you donated has been used to buy supplies that enhance the classroom learning environment.

    The donation you provided is helping these young learners with literacy, fine motor abilities, and many more skills needed to succeed in the future. The students were extremely excited to use new dry erase makers, which were used in combination with the newly laminated name writing sheets! Many of our students are just learning how to write their names and were very excited that they can write it over and over again.

    Thank you again for the donation it really has impacted the daily lives of these young learners!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Smith

The laminating pouches and portfolios will be used to create learning activities for the students to enjoy within the classroom and at home. Many learning activities that teachers create for students can fall apart easily and be destroyed from everyday use. These materials will not directly be sent home with the students, but the learning activities created can be protected with the materials and then can be sent home with students. Working with young children is rewarding and stressful all in the same breath, and not worrying about not having the material available would be one less stressor.
