  • Calming Area

    Funded Apr 3, 2023

    Your generosity is deeply appreciated! My preschool students will grow so much with these materials that will help them learn calming strategies. Students at this young age need to learn how to process their strong emotions and this will help them in their learning and to be successful in the future.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Castillo

  • iPad to Share Books!

    Funded Feb 3, 2021

    I am so grateful to you for your generosity! Distance learning has been such a challenge for my students and myself. We have done the best that we can to learn and stay engaged and excited with the technology provided by my school but students need anything we can do to replicate what a real classroom experience would be like, especially Kindergarteners in the their first school experience. My students will be so excited to have me share literature books and activities on the iPad and not have it freeze or log out! Thank you for giving my students hope and letting them know there are caring people who are willing to help without ever having met them.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Castillo

The iPad will be used to share books and writing with students. Students are English learners who will enjoy and benefit from listening to a variety of literature. They will also be able to discuss and share details and events from the stories. The iPad will allow the teacher to share real books over zoom. Videos can sometimes lag and it is important that Kindergarten students become familiar with real books and how to read them. Animated books are fun and interesting but students need to become familiar with written words.
