Out With the Old in With the Clean!

Help me give my students a clean floor to nap and play on. With 17 four year olds the vacuum cleaner finally stopped working. We are in much need of a new one.

  • Snack Attack!

    Funded Dec 5, 2024

    I am so happy that this project got funded. The children will be so appreciative of the generous gift. They eat a snack every day when they wake up from their rest time. They are always excited to have something to eat. The teacher has been buying the snacks for the classroom so this will be a big help.”

    Thank you so much for the funding. A new clean rug will be so special to this classroom. My students are very young and take naps during the day. A clean floor is a must for naptime. Again on behalf of my students and myself we thank you very much.”

  • Recycle Our Trash! Save Our Earth!

    Funded Feb 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. We are in the middle of studying recycling as well as reducing and reusing. The garbage truck was met with such excitement because we have seen so many pictures of trucks in our books. They have enjoyed recreating parts of the books with the garbage truck.

    I received a book that gives ideas for to make art projects with items we can reuse such as bottles or paper holders. We are so excited to use this book. We love art projects. We save paper towel cardboard holders for that reason.

    The class also received miracle grow with seeds and containers. We plan on planting these next week to use as gifts for their parents. Thank you again for generosity,”

  • Stem Creativity For Pre-K

    Funded Oct 29, 2023

    I can't tell you the impact your generosity has had on my classroom. The children were so excited when the box was delivered to our classroom. We enjoyed unpacking all the fun items and putting them to use in the classroom.

    The children really enjoyed the marble ball ramp. They have had so much fun watching the marbles roll down the ramp. If it missed the ramp there were able to adjust until the marble easily went into the cup. The books were a wonderful addition to our classroom library. After reading them to the students they loved pretending that they were also reading them. The classroom is truly enriched with the items that came in this Donors Choose Project thank you.”

    Thank you for funding my The World of Balls project. The students have enjoyed listening to me reading the books that were funded. The magnetic ball track is a big hit with my budding engineers. The students are spending alot of time building different ball tracks with the magnetic tiles We had so much fun making our own rubber balls. The students were so excited. The students were so happy seeing the different balls that their classmates made and then taking them outside to bounce them. Thank you so much for funding the class project.”

    Funded Sep 12, 2022

    Thank you so much for your donations. I am very excited about this item. It will be very useful for our class. I will use it probably several times a day. Four year old children often have times of making a mess but now I can clean them up myself.”

My students enjoy hours of fun with their sand table. I do not have a water table. They will love playing in the water. Just being able to move water from container to another container will be fun for them. I hope to be able to teach them about measuring with the water and spoons and cups. I intend to use it to practice their fine motor skills with different items in the water table. The tops will make it easier for the children to not make a water mess when not playing with it. I want the students to experience movement of water by using thei I would like to use the wagon to teach my students about Force, Motion and Energy. I want to teach the students about objects having circular motions such as the wheels on the wagon. I want to show the students that pushing or pulling can change the movement of an object as well as how much force is necessary to move an object, even as you make it heavier. I want each student to experience the force to move the wagon. After I would add items making it more difficult to move it so that they could see the force had increased as well as the motion becoming slower.
