S.T.E.M Learning!
Funded Aug 13, 2023First, I'd like to start off saying how very grateful and excited my class was to recieve such amazing tools for our classroom. Once I announced that we were getting this opportunity with this grant to have new classroom equipment, they couldn't hold in their excitement. When the boxes started coming in, as a class we did an unboxing and discussed what everything was and how we were going to use them. My class loved using the geoboards to explore 2D shapes farther and to challenge themselves with making odd shapes. The sentence structure strips helped my students understand how to create a proper sentence and assisted those who might need a little more help in that area, as well as with reading. My students really enjoyed hearing new facts about space and the water cycle through the science books we recieved and the posters have proved an amazing resource for things such as grammar, story structure, writing process, and science facts. We love using these materials during center time to reinforce the skill that we have been practicing during whole group learning. My students really enjoy that time to independently explore skills and then discuss them with me and their friends! These resources have been an amazing help for me as an educator and for my students as a majority of kinesthetic learners.”

Exploring the World Through Interactive Play
Funded Feb 8, 2022I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all for your wonderful generosity in assisting my classroom project with your donations. Your gift has made so many children happy! My students were so excited to learn about all the great resources that our classroom was to receive. Together, my students and I unboxed everything, then we discussed the awesome things we were going to learn and do with the help of our new learning resources. This caused a lot of happy outbursts and excited yells of "awesome!"
With the resources we received through the help of your donations, we now have enough supplies for everyone to explore and learn comfortably as well as creating a more social environment for them to grow. Before, our unit centers were very small and did not offer a lot of group interaction due to the small amount of supplies we had. I'm very grateful to say, now they are stocked with age and grade appropriate learning tools for my students to utilize in their education and socialization. Your helpful donations have assisted my students in successfully acquiring skills needed to interact and explore their surroundings in both a social emotional and imaginative ways. Thank you again for your generous contribution to my classroom project, we truly appreciate your gift to our class and our educations!”
