  • Magical Mats in Kindergarten

    Funded Aug 12, 2021

    This has been such a crazy two years in our world and definitely for education. I ordered these mats to help the children still feel connected and stay socially distanced! Some think they are on a magical mat and some do their yoga! We are using them at snack time, indoor recess and classroom stations. The children are treating them nicely and know they are especially for them. All of your kind generosity toward my projects are so appreciated! It feels SO good being able to give my class things that I want but never in a million years thought that I could! You are so appreciated!”

  • Carry It With Pride

    Funded Oct 10, 2021

    Thank you so very much for donating to our class project. I am really excited and relieved to know that my kinders will have cases for their iPads. Your donations mean the world and you are very appreciated!! The children feel extra special and grown up by carrying their devices.”

  • I'm a Big Kid Now

    Funded Jun 25, 2021

    Oh my goodness I can not tell you how valuable these seat sacks are to us! They are durable, colorful, and have lots of space. Since we do not have desks in kindergarten we need a place to put a lot of belongings.

    I was so excited to receive these the day before school started and could not wait for the kids to see them. They have treated them very nicely and know that it is their personal space to store their belongings.

    Having nice and durable seat sacks will make our year in kindergarten so much easier.

    Your donation to our classroom is truly appreciated!!”

  • Interact With Your Fans

    Funded Jun 20, 2021

    When I received the IPVEO pen I immediately felt very grateful. With a group of 27 kindergarten friends it has made sharing answers with using technology so much easier and fun! This also makes my role as the teacher exciting. I love choosing student's names and telling them that they get to use the interactive pen! I notice when I am using it that the children are way more attentive and awaiting their turn!

    My 5 and 6 year olds feel so special and grown up when it is their turn at the whiteboard. Everyone likes to play the teacher role!

    I am very appreciative of you choosing my project to fund.”

  • Solo Stations

    Funded Aug 30, 2021

    Thank you very much for giving to our classroom project. The kinders will be so excited to play these fun learning games. You are so appreciated. With the current Covid situation in classrooms we have to do things a little differently. These games will help us to stay distanced yet still have a great time at school.”

  • I Am Special

    Funded Jul 4, 2021

    Thank you so much for helping to fund my project. My students will be thrilled when it is their turn for Star Student of the Week! I

    am so excited for them to take home their personal cinch sacks and games to play with their families. Due to Covid and new school stipulations it keeps us from carrying out a fun family tradition. By funding this project it helps me to keep the fun going with home

    and school!! I can barely wait to see their faces when I give each little person their take home bag!! They will be over the moon with excitement. Due to your kindness and generosity you have put a smile on a teacher’s face and soon to be lots of children too!”

  • Welcome to Kinderville

    Funded Sep 4, 2019

    After moving to a different school and inheriting the furniture and carpet that was already there, I decided that we needed a bright new look. My smart and adorable kindergarteners deserve a nice place to work. The carpet that we requested and received is our central meeting place for daily lessons. This is a well-defined area and the students are very proud of their new space and have been working hard to keep it clean. We share story time, turn and talk time, station time, play time and project time in this area. Our classroom is small and the bright colors and shapes make our room very inviting. The class is so smart and these colors and shapes have helped them with classroom management and playing different math and reading games.

    It was quite the day when our brand new carpet arrived!! The class had no idea that it was coming. It arrived a few days early so even I didn't know it was being delivered. The little squeals that came from the children was so sweet. They helped unwrap it and roll it out. Everyone got to pick their new spot to sit in and that was very exciting.

    We will continue to take care of our new meeting space. The students are very protective of their new carpet. They even ask visitors to make sure that they have clean shoes before stepping on it, priceless. We are so happy to have this space for learning.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Kelly

My current classroom carpet is very old and dingy. It is not inviting and exciting for little people. This new carpet will be great for shapes, colors, and a visual to know where to sit. Classroom management is a key component of kindergarten and a carpet like this will be essential to helping meet our classroom expectations. One of our math standards it to know 2-d and 3-d shapes. This will be helpful when seeing these shapes and hearing this math vocabulary each and every day. It is always fun to play games and exercise in kindergarten during our brain breaks.
