  • Building Literacy and Creativity in a Print Rich Environment

    Funded Nov 15, 2021

    We are beyond thankful for your donation. I cannot wait to fill our classroom with vibrant images that promote literacy and are culturally responsive to our demographics. Because most of our students are not reading yet, they rely on these images to help them learn and understand the world around them. Incorporating text with our pictures helps them with their early literacy skills. Thank you again for your generosity.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Rock

  • Hands-on Math Materials for Pre-K

    Funded Aug 4, 2020

    Dear Donators,

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. The math and writing materials I requested were very helpful to my students during remote learning. My goal with this project was to give the students the same hands-on experiences they have at school at home. I did not want lack of supplies to be a reason my students fell behind or felt they were unable to participate. My school is located in an economically disadvantaged section of the Bronx. Many of my families are unable to purchase additional supplies at this time.

    My students were ecstatic when they saw the large Amazon boxes arrive in our classroom. One student said, "Is this from Santa". They were so excited to take and use the kits at home. The parents found these materials useful as well. They were able to reinforce the skills we covered in class. When our school went fully remote, we were able to seamlessly continue our learning due to the students having the materials at home.

    My students are continuing to learn 1:1 correspondence when counting and shape attributes. They are using objects around their environment to build shapes. We are working on expanding their vocabulary so the students are able to describe and explain how their structures were built.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Rock

    This classroom project was brought to life by Staples and one other donor.
Math manipulatives such as counters, pattern boards and number cards, along with writing tools, are what I use to facilitate my pre-k students' basic math skills. These materials are used to improve number recognition, quantifying and comparing skills. Students are able to freely explore to make their own math discoveries and use them during specific lessons. Though we are teaching remotely due to this unfortunate pandemic, I would like my students to be able to continue using these hands-on math tools at home. However, many of my families lack the ability to purchase these items at this time. Having some materials that are similar to the ones we used in our classroom will give the students a sense of familiarity and help them feel more connected to our new teaching format. Having access to these materials in their homes will also allow the parents to use and support their children's learning. By each student having hands-on math materials in their homes, they can successfully continue to learn and participate with their online class.
