  • Sensory and Educational Stimulation!

    Funded Oct 30, 2021

    My students and I, would like to thank you for your generous donation to help support our classroom. My students had enormous smiles and were very excited to use their imagination to create a new reality with their building blocks and magnetic shapes. During inside recess, the students use their imagination to create a new world. The students have used the magnetic shapes and wooden blocks individually and as a pair to help support social skills and team work. The guided reading books were unique in catering to the individual needs of the children on their specific reading levels. When the students get overwhelmed with work and need a break, they are able to use their tool boxes that are filled with sensory gadgets that help them keep calm and rejoin the group at a later time.

    I greatly appreciate your contributions to our project. These items were greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Gibbs

  • Printing a Colorful Dream!

    Funded Sep 24, 2021

    I would like to thank you so much for your generous donation for my students. Using the color printer and lamination sheets have helped my students identify their areas in the classroom. They have colorful reminders printed around the room to help guide them throughout the day. Having this technology helps them with visualizing realistic images.

    Printing their stories and drawing in color has been the most exciting part about having this product. The printer is in the classroom and they are able to get their images back during the same lesson and not have to wait to receive them. We print a lot of schedules, positive reinforcements, token boards, social and emotional a

    All of the student in my warmed up to the colorful schedules and crafts being done with this printer. Again, we would like to thank you for your generosity.”

    I greatly appreciate your contributions to our project. I create guided reading lessons for my students daily with the materials that were purchased. I will continue to have the students use their imaginations to create new worlds with the materials. I plan to use the magnetic shapes and wooden blocks to be a part of their imaginative writing composition. These items were greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you!”
