• Snacks to Increase Learning

  Funded Jan 3, 2025

  Providing snacks for kindergarten scholars plays a crucial role in their academic success by supporting focus, cognitive function, and behavior. When scholars have access to nutritious snacks, they can concentrate better, regulate their emotions, and sustain their energy levels throughout the day. Hunger can lead to frustration and difficulty following directions, but a well-timed snack helps scholars stay engaged in learning. Additionally, foods rich in essential nutrients enhance memory, problem-solving skills, and overall cognitive development, leading to improved academic performance.

  Beyond academic benefits, snack time fosters a positive classroom culture and encourages healthy eating habits. It provides a structured break that allows scholars to reset, socialize, and practice patience while learning the importance of balanced nutrition. Establishing these habits early helps build a foundation for lifelong well-being. Additionally, having the energy to fully participate in songs, movement, and learning activities ensures that scholars remain active and engaged throughout the school day.”

• Bookshelf of Knowledge

  Funded Aug 20, 2024

  Having a shelf for scholar work in our kindergarten classroom has been a wonderful addition, fostering pride and excitement for learning. Scholars love showcasing their creations, and it's become a special space where they can share and reflect on their achievements. When we first introduced the shelf, they were thrilled, calling it "our art gallery" and eagerly planning what to display. Recently, we used it to highlight their "All About Me" collages, and they couldn't wait to show their families. Next up, it's going to help us with a science project on plant lifecycles, where scholars document their plants' growth through drawings and observations, creating a vibrant display of their learning journey.”

• Renew and Repair

• Tools for Successful Learning

  Funded Feb 20, 2023

  Students contributed their ideas, and I created visual aids to reinforce concepts, making the learning process more interactive and engaging on the anchor charts. The rest of the materials were used by each scholar individually to enhance their creativity through colors, cutting and pasting which is something that they seemed to enjoy a lot. Using these tools that you have contributed to helped students express themselves in ways that no one would see imaginable. Your support in this project is greatly appreciated.”

• Headphones Galore

  Funded Feb 8, 2023

  The use of headphones has made learning more enjoyable and interactive for students. They are able to access gamified learning platforms, interactive quizzes, and educational videos, leading to increased engagement and enthusiasm for learning.

  Headphones are valuable tools for students with special learning needs or sensory sensitivities. They have provided an inclusive learning environment by accommodating individual preferences and creating a more comfortable setting for all students.

  Listening is a critical aspect of learning, and using headphones has enhanced students' auditory skills. By listening to audio-based educational content, students have developed better comprehension and retention abilities.”

• Germs, Germs, Go Away

  Funded Feb 8, 2023

  The cleaning supplies have come in at a great time when sickness is at a high. Clean and sanitized classrooms and facilities promote better health and hygiene among students. Regular cleaning of surfaces, desks, and shared items helps reduce the spread of germs, bacteria, and viruses, leading to fewer illnesses and absences among students. To make sure students understand this we assign cleaning as a leadership job in the classroom. This makes kids super excited. The cleaning supplies have also cut down sickness in our classroom.”
