Thank you for supporting my Kindergarten classroom! The new class set of headphones was opened and quickly used at a learning station. These new headphones are just the right size for my young learners and it helps them to log into their chrome books to work independently.
One of the many goals in Kindergarten is to learn how to be in school, and gain some independence. These headphones are a key to assist students to work independently! Thank you so very much for your generosity and believing in these young learners.”

I can't thank you enough for our AMAZING new rug! This new rug is truly a place for everyone. In Kindergarten so much of our day is spent gathered together on the rug.
My students were so excited when they saw the new and brightly colored new rug!
Our new carpet provides my young learners their own place to focus in on lessons to listen and learn. This new carpet is a focus point of our classroom and it will be for many years to come. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart, I am over the top excited for our new rug!!”

Thank you for your donation to our project! The classroom cubby spots have provided two Kindergarten classes with a place for each student to store materials.
The students were so excited to see their new cubby spots! Students quickly adjusted to the new area in our classroom and it has been such a positive addition to both Kindergarten classes. The new cubbies help to foster independence and organization for our young learners.
Thank you again for your generous donation. These high quality storage pieces will be in our Kindergarten classrooms for many years to come!”

Thank you for your generous donation of the class over the chair pockets and the reading bags! We received the materials just after the start of school, and we were all very excited to have these new materials in our classroom!

It is generous people like you that make education great! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. These materials will be in my classroom for years to come!”

Words can't express my gratitude for the Hands on Fun donation! My Kindergarten class went back to in person learning back in November and it has been a struggle to keep the kids engaged while being distant and safe.
The Hands on Fun package had enough play dough and play mats to engage two classrooms of Kindergarten students. I opened the package with my class and they were beyond excited to have their very own bright and colorful play dough!
This project will keep our Kindergarten classes engaged with play dough through the end of the school year. The colorful play mats encourages the students to have fun while forming their letters and numbers while using the play dough!
Thank you again for your generous donation!!”

Thank you for your generous donation to "headphones for little heads project". Technology is a great way to motivate students while teaching them the necessary skills . This project made our center time more productive through the donation of these special headphones!
The headphones were put to use as soon as they were opened from the package! Students plugged the headphones into the i pads, and they were able to concentrate on their learning!
Thank you for you commitment to education and your generous spirit!”
This Spring school as we all know it ended. Schools closed across the country and quickly shifted to a remote classroom. The Coronavirus affected us as a nation, making educators scramble to find ways to connect families to a remote platform while keeping students engaged remotely. Donors choose made it possible for so many teachers to get the necessary funding for our classrooms!!
Thank you for your generous donation to our remote Kinder garden project! Each spring my Kindergarten classroom plants a garden and over the course of the Spring we take care of it and watch it grow! Your generous donation made it possible for my young learners to still watch a seed grow and see a gardens' beauty. It is people like you that make education possible!! YOU made a difference!!”
