Racing Towards Kindergarten
Funded Mar 25, 2025Thank you so much for your generous contribution to my students and our classroom. I can’t wait for my student’s to explore with these materials. None of this would have been made possible without you. You have made such an impact on 15 special learners through your generosity.”

Funded Nov 30, 2021Words can not express our appreciation to you for generous donation. As a result of your kindness, my students now have a wide variety of art supplies and materials that they may not have received if it was not for you. My students are now exposed to a wide variety of materials that is allowing them to create magnificent art.
My students were so excited when they saw the boxes come in to our classroom. They couldn't wait to help me open them and see what "treasures" were inside. Before this project, my students wouldn't really choose to go to the art center because there wasn't a lot of different materials for them to use. Now, the art center is one of our most popular centers and the students get sad if they can't go because the center is "full."
Some of the projects that we were able to do because of your generosity were Texture Collage Letters and Texture Painting. The messy mats and paint/collage trays were very handy in keeping everything organized. The students also loved using the dotters as our old ones were dried out. The sensory balls are also a new favorite as it gave the students another tactile way to explore play dough.
Thank you again for your generous donation. You have truly been a bright light in my students lives.”

Funded Nov 15, 2021I wanted to again send my sincere thanks for your generous donation. As a result of your donation, my class was able to receive several learning games including Alphabet Rockets, Letter and Sounds file folders and Math file folder games. My students were so excited when the boxes came in and were so happy to see our new "presents."
My students love to use these games during table toy time, center time and choice time. The Alphabet Rockets have quickly became a favorite. I especially love this game as it makes the students not just match the letters, but the corresponding letter sounds as well. At the beginning of the school year, I had several students that did not know any letter sounds. Now as a result of your generous donation, those same students know the majority of, if not all of their letter sounds. They are well on their way to reading, and this is all thanks to you.
My students are now set up for success because of you and your donation. Without your generosity none of this would have been possible. Thank you again from the bottom of my and Pre-K 101 hearts.”

Funded Apr 30, 2020My class of 17 students are grateful for your generosity and all that yo did to help us get a new sand table as well as sensory toys and accessories. Currently my students are loving the "soft new sand" and are pretending that they work in an ice scream shop. They are using the scoopers and cones from the ice cream sand kit and are having a blast. It is also strengthening their fine motor skills which I'm sure will transfer to other areas as well.
My students were so excited when they saw the new table. It gives them more space to learn and explore as before we were using a dual sand and water table which could get very messy. Now both sand and water table are separate and they can be used at the same time.
Since it is the beginning of the school year, we have not opened up the water table yet. I know that when we do very soon, the students will be just as excited as they were with the sand table. They will be able to use the new water toys like the water wheel and droppers. Thank you so much again for your generous contribution.”

Funded Mar 19, 2019I can not thank you enough for your donation to my classroom. Because of your generosity my students have been able to build double decker busses, the Golden Gate Bridge, a princess castle and roller coasters just to name a few.
When my students first saw the materials they were so excited. They immediately saw that there were new toys in our classroom and couldn't wait to use them. It has been amazing to see them use these resources every day and make something new.
These materials have brought students together. Some of them who keep to themselves, are now playing with other students building cars and structures together as a team. My students are learning and practicing cooperation as they are sharing the materials with each other. They are asking each other to play together and are making these amazing structures. This would would not have been possible without your generosity and I can not thank you enough. Pre-K 101 will be forever grateful for you and your generosity.”
