  • Safe Secure Space, Builds Calm Bodies and Minds!

    Funded Oct 17, 2024

    We are truly grateful for your generous donations to my class project. My students and I are so very appreciative of your support for education. We are looking forward to receiving these items, the mini-trampoline, flexile seating, etc. They will be a great tool as we continue to grow and learn in the classroom. We can't wait to share some pictures of us using our new items! Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Porter

  • A Cozy Essential Makeover

    Funded Sep 6, 2023

    It is with gratitude and appreciation that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness and willingness to give, toward A Cozy Essential Makeover in our classroom. The donated interlocking foam jigsaw mat provides comfortable sensory seating during morning meetings and whole group phonics activities. Scholars also get opportunities to create unique patterns by separating and reassembling the tiles.

    My scholars have been excited about the opportunity to take quick breaks when they feel overwhelmed or just need a break during learning. They enjoy sitting in the tent and on the shark bean bag chair during a lesson or leafing through and or reading their favorite book.

    Your donation has given my scholars a comfortable area in the classroom to rejuvenate and to learn. It has also impacted the quality of learning and focus my scholars receive, as their faces light up when they know that we are headed to the mat for an activity or sit on the bean bag during a lesson.

    Thank you for your generous donations that provided a relaxing and engaging atmosphere for my scholars to have positive learning experiences.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Porter

  • Sensory Items, Engaging Minds II

    Funded Nov 22, 2022

    Thank you so much for the wonderful donation towards my Sensory Items, Engaging Minds projects II. The Magnetic Tiles, Feety Chair Bands, Dinosaur Sensory Bin and Kinetic Sand were an instant success. They all got excited. The Feety Chair Bands help to reduce their anxiety and help them to focus more during small group activities. My kiddos are more focus during writing activities. They enjoy writing and or creating letters and numbers in the kinetic sand. Again, I have created stations and structured time for everyone to have a chance at interacting with these items.

    Thank you again for supporting this project and giving me the much needed resources to engage the minds of my students and make learning a fun hands-on experience.”

  • Sensory Items, Engaging Minds

    Funded Nov 17, 2022

    Thank you so much for the wonderful donation towards my Sensory Items, Engaging Minds projects. When they walked into the classroom and saw the items, they were so excited. A Calming Space was created with the tunnel and tent providing a clearly defined area for imaginative play and quiet time. My kiddos were attentive during small group activities and completed writing tasks in a timely manner and eagerly accepted the sensory fidget toys as rewards.

    The students enjoy playing with the Brittle Blocks. The Brittle Blocks have been such a success that I have to create stations so everyone can enjoy them. I am in the process of ordering another set.

    Thank you again for supporting this project and giving me these much needed resources to engage the minds of my students.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Porter
