Learn Through Play

Funded Oct 31, 2022

Our class has become such a fun and effective learning environment in great part thanks to you! We have used our learning games, such as Sight word bingo, Swap, and our buzzers on many occasions. The sight words go from first to third grades and it has stretched my higher learners to play them. Also, I may have underestimated how much my students love pressing a buzzer. They want to learn with it ALL THE TIME.

Thank you for donating these and for helping to provide our class a color printer. Our school has black and white printers, but children love color and I have printed and laminated many resources with it. It has been a time saver as well as a very productive tool.

Finally thank you for provoking curiosity in our little learners by supplying us with insect kits. The kids are so excited for spring, as that is when we can begin hatching butterflies and raising lady bugs. To my students, this is a source of connection between the natural world and their learning, which is so exciting. They have been asking when we will get the lady bugs every week.

One last note of gratitude for providing us with WikiSticks: I have a struggling learner who found it very difficult to remember letter formation. When we began practicing with the WikiSticks, she caught hold of distinguishing features and has improved ever since! She needed a tactile way to learn, and thanks to you we have that available.

Thank you very much for improving our classroom!”

With gratitude,
