  • Amazing Authors

    Funded Dec 19, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation toward my Amazing Authors project. These books have been amazing additions to our classroom library. The children love reading them during free choice and I enjoy using them to help grow a love of literature. These specific books are fantastic for character studies. My young students learn how many of their own feelings and behaviors can be seen in the characters in these books. My students especially love Kevin Henke's Lilly and Mo Willems Trixie and Pigeon. Who wouldn't, right? They are amazing characters written by some Amazing Authors.

    We will continue to love these books all year long. Thank you again for your generosity. Your kindness is so very appreciated!”

  • Super Sensory Play!

    Funded Dec 11, 2024

    Thank you so much for donating these wonderful sensory materials to my classroom. The students are enjoying them during free choice. These sensory items allow hands on fun while they explore math and science tools and skills. My students were so excited to receive these items and have used them daily. Currently we are using some of the materials as part of our Dinosaur unit. The students get to imagine they are paleontologists as they dig up fossils, rocks and dinosaur bones!

    Thank you again for funding this project and providing some super sensory fun for my students!

    Thanks again for your generosity!”

  • Feeling Fishy!

    Funded Sep 10, 2024

    Thank you so much for donating to my project "Feeling Fishy". With your support my preschool classroom got our first class pet..fish!

    My students were so excited to receive the items and even more excited as they patiently helped set up and prepare for our new friends. The students read the books and together we decided on which fish to get.

    Our fish tank is now set up and we are in the process of naming our new friends. The students can't wait to be the daily helper so they can feed the fish!

    Thank you again for your support and generosity!”

    Thank you again so very much for your generosity in funding my Counting on Books project. With your funding I was able to fill our classroom library with amazing books. These books help support and reinforce math concepts I teach as part of our math curriculum.

  • Game On!

    Funded Jun 6, 2024

    Thank you so much for the puzzles and games! My students are really enjoying them.

    My students were so excited to help me unbox the new puzzles and toys. They got played with immediately!

    These puzzles help develop problem solving skills and even reinforce numbers and letters. The games are encouraging turn taking and sharing. I just love watching them work together!

    My students are able to use these materials during free choice and during table time. These new materials added to what we had giving more opportunities for the students to play together!”

  • Building Our Imaginations!

    Funded May 19, 2023

    Thank you again for your generous donation! Your generosity allowed my students to use their imaginations to build amazing creations. They love playing with our new blocks during free choice and our block center is now the favorite center to play.

    My students were so excited to see the new building materials especially the large sized magnet blocks. They were so surprised at their size and I heard them say things like "These are bigger than my hands!" "This one is so big I can build a big big castle!". Their excitement was priceless.

    I appreciate your thoughtfulness and so do my students!”
