Developmentally Appropriate Pizza Restaurant
Funded Nov 6, 2023The dramatic play area has been a new place of learning and interest in the classroom. The students are engaged in making pretend pizza, serving ice cream, and even some days making a pretend menu for the restaurant.
Additionally, the art supplies that we now have has given students the chance to use high quality fine tipped ones as well as yarns. The children are using the new colored tape to highlight or add to their existing creations.
The contributions to our classroom have been delightful and important to the children and their learning.”

Blocks and Books
Funded May 27, 2022This year in Kindergarten the children have been building unique structures with the blocks and cubes that were purchased with this money.
The joy of learning during math building time is incredible to witness. Hands on math blocks and building ramps have made math fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate this year at Tonopah Elementary School. I see future engineers and designers emerging from allowing these kids to have hands on building experiences.
Thank you for helping us get the this awesome block center.”

Feelings Vocabulary and Deep Breaths to Calm
Funded Oct 5, 2021The children in my class have learned so much about their feelings and emotions through the stories that we've read. We use the big book reader that was purchased by this project to read stories. The children have learned how to take deep breaths and how to calm themselves if they feel sad or angry.
Thank you so much for supporting this project.
The alphabet squares are also a great tool for the children to be able to learn their letter sounds and also to play with during their free time. The children need time to play everyday so they can process their feelings and emotions. We are so lucky to have donors like you supporting our classroom.”
