  • Nap-Time Blankets

    Funded Mar 24, 2025

    The detergent provided through this project has allowed me to wash the blankets that I provide to students use during nap time, that may forget their blankets at home. In the past, when I did not have enough detergent at home, I did not have clean blankets to provide, and students often struggled to fall asleep without a blanket. Thanks to your support, I can now ensure the blankets are washed weekly, without the concern of running out of detergent. This has greatly improved the students' comfort and ability to rest during nap time.”

  • Readily Accessible

    Funded Feb 4, 2025

    The printer at home has enabled me to create personalized materials tailored to meet each student's unique needs. As a result, I have witnessed significant growth in areas such as name writing, letter recognition, and the ability to identify beginning sounds in words. Additionally, I utilized the photo printer to print beautiful images of my students alongside things they love for our Values assembly, which focused on the value of love. Thank you for your generous support in making these possibilities a reality.”

  • Christmas Spirit 2

    Funded Dec 18, 2024

    My student's and families were so excited for their Magna-Tiles. My students' were very familiar with them because we have a set in the classroom. However, some of my families had experienced for the first time when their child brought a box home.

    My families were surprised at how long their child sustained play. Some families reached out to me about how their student cooperated and shared with their siblings. Parents also expressed how surprised they were to see the creativity their child has with the Magna-Tiles.

    Thank you for providing each of my students with an educational toy that extends learning at home.”

  • Warm Holidays

    Funded Dec 18, 2024

    Thank you for your generous donation to help provide a box full of nutritious snacks and meals for our families. Your thoughtful contribution made a significant impact, especially as families prepared for a long break.

    Our families were truly grateful to receive these items, and the students were excited to talk about the snacks they had enjoyed when they returned from their long weekend. They shared how delicious and satisfying the food was, and it brought so much joy to their break.

    Thank you once again for your kindness and support. Your generosity helps ensure that our students and their families have the nourishment they need to thrive.”

STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators. STEM education is critical to help the United States remain a world leader. The donations to this project will afford my students the opportunity to investigate and explore learning in an active, hands-on way that makes the students an active participant in their own learning. These materials are the perfect way to introduce STEM to kindergarten students! The gross motor donations will allow me to extend learning outside of the classroom. For those who know a kindergarten aged child, there is no doubt that they learn best when they are active and engaged!
