• A Snack a Day!

  Funded Jan 17, 2024

  Snack time has been awesome in our classroom. Your kindness allowed us to provide our students with healthy options to enjoy during snack time. Some friends were really excited to be snacking the same goodies as the other children in the classes. We have less sad faces during snack because most children are having the same or very similar snacks.

  I am also to provide my picky eaters with an extra snack when they stay for after school some days.

  This was all possible due to your kindness. Thank you for helping us create an environment where everyone feels loved.”

• Magnetic Fun

  Funded Oct 30, 2023

  Thank you for supporting our classroom.

  We have been having fun with our magnetic toys and blocks.

  We used the magnetic tiles in two areas on our classroom, toys and games and the light table. We used them while conducting our clothes study, the children used the magnetic tiles to "dress" a child and identified the shapes they used. They have also been used to build ramps, towers, vehicles to name a few.

  The rainbow blocks have been used to build different items such at boats, homes, castles and binoculars.

  Thank you again for your generosity!”

• Under the Sea

  Funded Aug 2, 2023

  Thank you for helping me take my babies to an adventure under the sea. With your support, I was able to create a welcoming and soothing environment for my students. Everyone loved the classroom!

  The better than paper that went up in August still looks the same till this date. I have replaced my students' work on the wall numerous times, and the paper does not rip. I use staples and tape to put their work up and remove it with no problems.

  Thank you so much for your generosity. These materials have helped me create a beautiful and engaging classroom for my students.

  They can easily access the construction paper daily where they create work individually. paper since it went up in September. We have been working on our geometric shapes, numbers and colors.

  The splash mats have been a game changer. We use them almost daily and often times use glue and when we are done with our crafts we simply wipe them off. In the past I would have to scrub the tables to remove glue or paint and I no longer do that.

• Bugs Galore!

  Funded Jan 15, 2023

  A million thanks for your generosity.

  These bugs helped made our learning unit about bugs and insect a hit. The children loved playing with them.

  We placed them in the block area, science center and dramatic play. In the block area children used them while they built structures. They even said they built a hotel for the bugs.

  In dramatic play they were part of our garden. They placed the bugs in the grass and plant bed. Then they pretended to remove the bugs from the plants.

  In science we used them for observation and developed/build vocabulary. We talked about body parts, number of legs and how they move.

  Once again thank you for helping me provide these meaningful learning experiences for my students.”
