  • Creative Minds Goes Wild

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    I can not thank you enough, how this circuit has helped me with my student. First I have a special Ed who found the machine interested . He was the first one to pick and make his project. The children them wanted animals to decorate the door. This circuit has inspired their creativity and imagination. Their excitement has grown and it is seen throughout the classroom. This has been a great investment for the children. They ask to make different picture to take home and for the classroom. I paid for the membership so that they are able.to have more images to pick from. Thank you again for helping make this project happen and encourage the children to elevate their imagination and continue to enjoy the circuit everyday.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Ana Cruz

  • Reach Our Goal With Workbooks

    Funded May 17, 2022

    These books are amazing, my students are enjoying taking them home and doing homework. Parents say that the pictures and the letters are big enough for the children to write and understand them. Thank you thank you for helping me help my low income students to have something that is theirs and can go back to the book and look at all their work. It's a great bridge between school and home. This helps parents to see what their children are learning in and can help reenforce the work. Thank you so much , I can't express my appreciation.”

  • Rainbow Fish

    Funded Aug 24, 2021

    First off I want to thank everyone who donated to this project. The children come in everyday and makes sure the fish are ok. They take turns feeding the fish and counting each one. We are in the progress of naming the fish, so far we have 6 we are receiving more this week. The children are excited about that. The best part of the tank is that is a glow in the dark, so we got glofish. That was great seeing the children's excitement when they saw the fish glow.

    When the tank arrived at the school, there were so many questions. Why, How, When, Who What. Why do we have a fish tank? How did it get here? When are the fish coming? Who going to buy the fish and who bought the tank? and finally what is all that inside the fish tank? I think I was more excited for the children the with their questions and curiosity.

    Next step is during the month of May the classroom will transform in underwater sea creatures and make different fish project.. Have to look into glow in the dark paint for the children to use for their fish projects.

    Again Thank you so much”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Ana Cruz

My project for the upcoming year is to provide the children with a fish tank that children can sit and relax while about the fish. They can explore the fish environment and how they live. What do they eat, how do they breathe, where do they come from, and turn it into an instructional lesson for higher thinking order. We low income families that can't afford a fish tank. We can provide children with the experience of taking care of them. Having a classroom pet will be a joy.
