  • Tunneling Our Way With Play

    Funded Mar 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for our sets of Legos Tubes and Tunnels. We have a unit in our Creative Curriculum called Tubes and Tunnels and our students have learned so much from using these building sets. We have built bridges, rollercoasters and so many other projects.

    The STEM curriculum is sometimes hard to teach and having these sets have made the unit so much fun to teach and build with.

    Our Title I students do not always have to access to toys like Legos and they really enjoy discovering nee ways to use them.

    Thank you so much for bring joy to our classrrom.”

  • Blink Blink Ink

    Funded Dec 11, 2023

    Thanks so much for our gift of the printer ink. We print so many projects for our different units to make games and manipulatives for our students. As you know the ink is incredibly expensive and our school system does not provide color ink for our classrooms.

    Our students depend on us to provide them with interesting and color manipulatives and the color printer allows us to make them. The color printer allows us to be in the classroom and complete projects with our students. Thanks so much for providing us with the necessary ink to use our printer to its fullest potential.”

  • Gaming Our Way To Better Fine Motor Skills

    Funded Mar 31, 2023

    Thanks so much for all of our wonderful games that you funded for our class. We have enjoyed playing them all and they are helping us learn many skills such as taking turns and counting. Our class has enjoyed the different ways that we can share and we are learning so many skills as we explore the different games that we have started to play each day during our center time.

    We are looking forward to mastering our skills as we play our games and continue to learn how to cooperate with our fellow students each day as we play and learn.

    Our teacher is encouraging our parents to purchase games for us to use at home as well.”

  • Learning About Farm Life and City Life

    Funded Apr 3, 2023

    Thanks so much for our donation of the barn and city car garage. Our students have learned about farm animals and why they are important in our world. We have studied cities and the car garage is very popular in our centers.

    We are so thankful for these new additions to our classroom. These new center items will enhance our learning centers and give our students different ways to learn about farm life and city life in our classroom.

    Our students come for low income areas and their parents do not always have resources to provide educational toys.”

  • Strengthening Our Fine Motor Skills Through Play

    Funded Apr 3, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding my fine motor skills project. My students enjoy playing with these games everyday. Being able to learn to play these games allows them the skills that they will need to be able to write and use their fine motor skills.

    Most of our students come from environments that do not have the resources to buy learning toys for their children. The classroom becomes the only environment where they are taught to learn these vital skills. The students love having new manipulatives to learn with. We truly appreciate you funding our project.”

    Thank you so much for our two wonderful bikes. Our students are enjoying them each day. They are our most popular bikes at school. Our program values exercise and building strong bodies for our students and building lifelong skills to help them maintain their healthy bodies. I look forward to hopefully getting more bikes for our 18 students. Your donation of two sturdy red bikes puts us closer to our goal of more bikes. We truly appreciate your donation and please know that these bikes are used every day and bring so much joy to our 3 year old class.”

  • Laminating Skills That Last A Lifetime!

    Funded Jul 28, 2022

    Thanks so much for the donation of my color printer and ink. This item has been on my wish list for over 5 years. Having a color printer in my classroom has allowed me time to print out valuable worksheets for my classroom. We are also able to print out pictures and games for our students to play at home and at school. Having this new printer has given us extra resources to increase our students exposure to additional resources that are provided with our new curriculum "Creative Curriculum". We are also able to create creative bulletin boards and classroom charts to enhance the classroom environment. Your donation of our new color printer and ink is greatly appreciated.”
