    Thank you so much donors for this incredibly generous gift of a new transportation station play set for our classroom!

They loved using this to play with, and it really centered our learning around the city that we live in, and drawing maps to represent our city! Thank you so much for this generous gift to our classroom! I know my students are so incredibly grateful for these wonderful new materials!

  • The Sights, Sounds, Smells of Home

    Funded Oct 15, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donations of new books about home and habitats to our classroom! We are so incredibly grateful for your donations and support of this work in our classroom!

    We used these books to center our work on what the word 'home' means to all of us. We talked about what makes a place a home, and what sights, sounds, smells, and tastes are present at all of our homes. We talked about home as a place we and/or our family lives, and homes might also be a person or people we love.

    We couldn't do this work without you!”

  • What Does It Mean to Be Home?

    Funded Oct 13, 2024

    Thank you so incredibly much for these wonderful new books about homes and habitats for my classroom! We used these books to center our discussions and work around what the meaning of "home" is, what animals homes/habitats are, and how we as humans and animals all need homes to protect us and keep us safe. We discussed how our homes are not just where we currently live, but where our family and loved ones live or where we have once lived is also our home. We talked about how people can be our homes as well.

    We couldn't do this wonderful work without you!”

    With gratitude,

My Kindergarten students are problem-creators and problem-solvers. They are curious and considerate. They are investigators and evaluators. In our classroom, we give the children the space to share their own ideas and debate each others ideas. They come up with theories about the world around them, and they investigate these theories through projects.
