• Learning Is Fun!

  Funded Oct 17, 2024

  Thank You for Your Generous Donation!

  We are incredibly grateful for your generous donation of educational materials to our classroom. Your contribution of Kinetic Sand, a Soft Serve Station with play sand in vibrant colors, sensory toys, and other essential learning games has significantly enriched our students' learning experience.

  Upon receiving your donation, my students were filled with excitement and curiosity. The moment they laid eyes on the colorful Kinetic Sand and the Soft Serve Station, their faces lit up with joy! They gathered around to explore the delightful textures and vibrant colors. It was heartwarming to witness their imaginations come to life as they built and sculpted with the sand, developing fine motor skills in the process. These hands-on activities became the highlight of our sensory play corner and sparked countless discussions, creativity, and cooperative play among the children.

  In addition to the sensory materials, the sight word games and Montessori phonics learning tools have proven to be invaluable resources in my classroom. We recently launched a project that focuses on building foundational reading skills. The Think Fun Zingo Sight Words Game has transformed our reading time into a vibrant and interactive group activity. Students eagerly engage in friendly competitions to identify sight words, reinforcing their recognition and boosting their confidence in reading. The Aizweb Sentence Building and sight word games are now integrated into our daily literacy centers, allowing the students to work collaboratively and creatively in small groups. They love the challenge of putting sentences together and enhancing their vocabulary, making reading feel less like a chore and more like a fun adventure.

  Looking ahead, we are excited to continue integrating these resources into our ongoing projects. As we progress to more complex reading and writing tasks, the comforting fidget tubes will serve as calming tools, helping students manage anxiety and maintain focus during lessons. The next steps for our classroom include organizing a reading "gallery walk" where students will showcase their favorite sentences and stories created with the new materials. This event will not only highlight their learning but also help build a sense of community as we celebrate each student's progress.

  Your support has brought more than just materials into our classroom; it has fostered a joyful environment where students feel empowered and engaged in their learning. Thank you for being a vital part of our educational journey. We are excited to continue sharing our experiences and the positive impact of your generous donation.”

• Smart Fun Lessons

  Funded Aug 10, 2022

  Your generous donations allowed me to purchase lamination sheets, Velcro, scissors and other materials that allowed me to create durable adapted and engaging books for my current and future students. Basic supplies such as lamination sheets, binder rings, velcro scissors and digital materials are not usually available via our school budget.
