  • Magical Seating!

    Funded Sep 6, 2023

    Thank you so much for providing the amazing opportunity for all the students in my kindergarten class. It has been amazing seeing them using the lap desks and reading rockers.

    The lap desks help students stay focused and gives them stability as they are writing. It especially helps those students who struggle with fine motor skills. It gives them a place to rest their hands as they write. We use the lap desks on a daily basis to do our shared writing. Students in kindergarten need lots of modeling so that they can eventually become independent writers. The lap desks help with this.

    The reading rockers are a big hit! When student finished their independent work, they immediately reach for the rockers. They sit and enjoy reading with their classmates. It gives them a sense of security as they are "hugged" by the rocker. It is great to see them on task.

    Thank you for this generous gift. I am grateful and it warms my heart when I see them. I think you'll agree when you see the pictures. Thank you!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Figueroa

  • Ready Set Play!

    Funded Oct 31, 2022

    Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom. As you can see, the students are engaged and enjoying their time with their new hands-on toys. Outside the students are able to stomp away on their brand new stompers working on their growth motor skills. Best yet, they even love to sort them by the colors of the rainbow, and joining each other in color races across the sidewalk. In the classroom, it is so much fun to watch them as they engage in dramatic play using the car mats along with the cars as well as the dolls. They love exploring with all the different types of cubes and extra toys. They are having such a blast exploring and playing here in the land of Kindergarten.”

  • Fun in the Sun!

    Funded Mar 12, 2022

    Thank you so much for providing the amazing opportunity for all the students in the kindergarten classes to have fun out in the sun! It has been amazing watching them use the new scooter bikes, as well as the hula hoops. They enjoy rolling the hula hoops, as well as tossing them high up into the sky! It brings such joy and happiness to watch them try to catch the hula hoops in their hands.

    This new school year we were able to take out all the new sand toys and talk with the new group of kindergarten students about how to use them. They were amazed at the glowing newness of the buckets and shovels! Talk about the power of a Big and LONG shovel. This shovel helps the kids dig really, really big holes!

    Thank you ever so much for making these long lasting memories for so many students.”

    With gratitude,

Kindergarten is the foundation for a student's education. In kindergarten students learn to read and write through phonological awareness and phonics. I want students to be engaged in their learning and not be given paper and pencil activities. I want to provide them with different styles of learning that are fun and they are excited to use. In math I want them to have as many hands-on activities as possible. The more experiences they have touching and feeling geometric shapes, the more understanding they'll have about shapes and how they look in our world.
