Getting Comfy in PreK!
Funded Nov 29, 2022Thank you again for your kind generosity. My students have enjoyed using all the materials you so generously helped us get. The expression on their faces when we unboxed everything was priceless. It was magical!
Our circle time is very engaging and comfortable now because we have a large cozy rug to sit on. My students enjoy playing on the carpet, reading and napping on it. It is their favorite flexible seating area. They are also enjoying the new wooden blocks that we added to that center. This is by far their favorite place to be.
Thanks to your generosity, we also got our kid sized work tables. My students enjoy playing games and coloring on these tables. We love to use dry erase markers to write on them and they are made of such good quality, they clean up really well. These tables have given my students a comfortable area for small group where they can share ideas and talk to each other with enough space to feel comfortable.
With your donation, our areas for community interactions have become a comfortable space for students to move freely and use their imaginations.
Thanks to you, my students are learning and having fun at the same time.”

Funded May 7, 2022Thank you again for your kind generosity. My students have enjoyed using all the materials you so generously helped us get. The expression on their faces when we unboxed everything was priceless. It was like Christmas in May!
Our center time is very engaging now and although I have a new class, they are also enjoying using these resources. In our dramatic play center, my students are imitating real life with the ironing board. They are so busy ironing baby clothes and dress up items. They also love to play with the cleaning set. They go around the classroom cleaning various other areas.
In our manipulative and table top games, my students are working on their fine motor skills, their math sense and having fun all at the same time. They enjoy the sorting games and have extended the games into various other games, including their won bingo bear game.
With your donation, our morning circle time has become a hands on activity. Everyday students write in our calendar and use the letters to make words and play other alphabet games that are fun, engaging and educational.
Thanks to you, my students are learning and having fun at the same time.”

Funded Apr 27, 2022Thank you so much for your donations. My students were ecstatic when we opened our boxes. It was an amazing and fun day. You were so kind to "Upgrade our Learning" let me tell you all the ways you have impacted our classroom.
In our building and blocks center, our students are building with tube pipes, wooden train tracks and wooden trucks. They are making cities and streets and having conversations about neighborhoods and all the things they see around them. They make plans and then build them with all our new toys.
Our dramatic play center is much more interactive and realistic thanks to the various play sets. Our little chefs are using their math skills and creativity with our new counting cans. They are enjoying cooking with realistic condiments and pots and pans and utensils. It is so much fun to watch them and have them cook for each other.
Our classroom has been greatly enhanced with various STEM activity games, a microscope and peg boards. By far the best items is our puppets, which we use daily for storytelling and role playing. Students also use them as cuddle buddies when they need them. We also enjoy using our doodle boards during circle time to review what we are learning.
This was all thanks to your generosity.”
