• A Shining Tree to Utilize for Learning

  Funded Dec 6, 2024

  Thank you so much for donating to our classroom Christmas tree for learning. Our students loved having a tree front and center in the front of the classroom. We got to use if for color recognition, shape identification, number naming, counting and also show casing some of our beautiful works of art for our families. Every activity that this tree helped showcase captured the students attention to the fullest. When it was time to take it down for the year each student told their teachers they will miss having it. Thank you again for helping capture students attention and excitement for learning and lessons.”

• Decorations for First Annual Tiny Tot Ball

  Funded Oct 12, 2024

  Our goal as staff at the school was to make a memorable night for our students and families. A night where everyone could dress to impress and feel like a King or Queen of the ball.

  Thank you so much for donating to our Tiny Tot Ball. As this event hasn't happened yet we can only imagine what our students and families reactions will be. Your donations went to lights and decorations to help elevate everyone's experience.

  Our building is excited to see the enchanted night your donations have made possible for each student and families at our school.

  Thank you again for your gracious donation.”

• Learning Money through Vending

  Funded Sep 17, 2024

  The students at my school are loving the opportunity to work for the toy machine prize. Each time they are caught doing the right thing, being a kind friend or leader they let everyone know they are a step closer to getting in the machine. Each of the students cheer when they see a friend getting in the machine. Thank you for donating to our project and helping light up my students day when they earn a prize for positive behavior. We appreciate all the donations and shares to help get this project funded.”

• Sensory Table of Dreams

  Funded May 6, 2024

  My students are loving the new light table items. Most of my students love to see how items work and explore. Our students are using the alphabet letters and graphing trays for Literacy and Numeracy work.

  Each morning the students use the dry erase pockets to trace and write their names. When they are finished they may draw shapes and other objects and wipe off before putting away. These pockets have made fine motor activities so easy and fun for the kids.

  The visual timer is used every center time. A timer person sets the time before play and announces to the class their play timer is set. When the timer goes off the students clean up their center. This gives my students the ability to see when the next round is.

  Thank you for donating to our class and being flexible when the order needed to be changed. All of the items have been so helpful for last years class and will continue to help this school year!”

• Barbie Like Me!

  Funded Dec 28, 2023

  Thank you so much for blessing my classroom with Barbie dolls that look like my students. I wish I could have bottled up their excitement, joy and love when they saw the dolls going into centers. Before anyone even started all students started saying which student looked like each new doll. Those students were beaming with pride when they saw the toys their friends would be playing with and they were told they looked like them. To this day the Barbies are one of their favorite places to play. From my and my students hearts thank you so much!”

• Art, Art Baby

  Funded Aug 31, 2023

  Our classroom wanted to say thank you so much for our drying rack and card stock. Projects now have a safe place to dry before they are displayed on our class windows for all to see.

  After each project the students know where to put their project so it can dry. Each student takes turns walking to the drying rack and placing their project on an individual rack on the holder. A teacher can then push the rack in the corner of the room where it can safely dry each project without having to be a cluttered mess around the room.

  Thank you again so very much for donating this treasure of space to our classroom.”

• Exploring Through Different Learning Styles: Auditory, Kinesthetic and Visual!

  Funded Apr 5, 2023

  Thank you so much! As soon as I opened the box with your donations in it my students started clapping and cheering. We opened the materials and started using right away. Let me tell you some of my most quiet kids have started letting their voice be heard while using the materials. I have to say the microphones are used inside and outside the classroom. My students love to sing their alphabet or recite their answers to questions in the classroom using them. I believe the favorite is when they get to sing their favorite songs outside at recess. We are really seeing student come outside their shell during that time. Thank you again!”
