  • Hands on Learning for Little Explorers

    Funded Jan 23, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donations to our classroom family! Each contribution helps our students learn and play in their own way. It is the help of people like you that helps make teachers' dreams a reality in the classroom! To say I am thankful is a massive understatement. We are all thankful for people like you!”

  • Fidget Toys to Help Us Focus

    Funded Sep 1, 2022

    My students have been in their glory with the new items they have received thanks to your generous donations!! We have been able to use the fidgets to help students maintain a calm body and focus their attention on morning meeting and small group activities! My little preschoolers love to shake and move, especially when they are expected to be still :) Allowing them the movement of their fingers and hands while keeping the rest of their body focused helps our staff make a connection while increasing their ability to follow simple directions and to want to be a part of our learning group! There is never enough time or money for teachers to take their dreams and make them reality so I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

  • Bananas 'Bout Books!

    Funded Nov 4, 2022

    I would like to personally thank you for contributing to my classroom project! Books are so important for children of all ages-especially our preschoolers! My students will enjoy listening to these stories during Morning Meeting and using them during their discrete trial programming! Thank you again for your generous donations!”

  • Books! Books! Books!

    Funded Sep 27, 2021

    Thank you for donating to such an important project! Our classroom enjoys a story each day during circle time and your donation has been essential to making that happen! Our students have learned to love a variety of books including (but certainly not limited to) all of the Pete the Cat books, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Click Clack Moo. Another favorite series is "There was an Old Woman Who Swallowed A____" as we can create many activities to go along with them all. Thank you again for helping our students learn to love reading at such a young age!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Joyal

  • Toys, Fidgets and Slime OH MY!

    Funded Sep 15, 2021

    Thank you for your generosity and kindness. These materials have helped our children explore new mediums such as slime, foam paint and kinetic sand. The fidget toys have proved to be essential in our daily routine during circle time, stations and especially in the quiet corner.

    The various toys have helped our staff make a connection with our students through play. It is a joy to watch their play skills develop through the school year and begin to engage in independent play! We have all enjoyed interacting with the various fidgets and toys!”

    Mrs. Joyal

  • Everyone in This Room Can Change the World!

    Funded Aug 13, 2021

    Thank you for donating! Words cannot explain how thankful my staff and I are to receive your support. Each and every student has benefited from your generosity. You have helped make our jobs easier as well!

    We will continue to use these materials for school years to come in individual programming and whole group lessons. The student have enjoyed using all the materials in their own individual manner and has helped the staff find new ways to engage with the students.

    It is because of people like you that we can continue to be successful in our classroom!”

These items will be used to help each and every student find comfort and FUN in their learning environment! There are toys for them to learn and play with as well as fidgets and calming items for when they need a break! There are storage items to keep their materials separated and clean! Not to mention various chairs to sit on for those times we need to be seated or still! I have worked with children for over 15 years but this is my first time setting up my very own classroom!
