  • Help PreK Students Get Creative & Learn Through Play!

    Funded Dec 6, 2024

    Thank you so much for adopting my students with such generosity. We are often a looked over age group and go without many things. Donorschoose has become the main way to provide all the things to my little learners. They do BIG things every day and I'm so thankful for you loving on them. ❤️❤️”

  • PreK Scientists Need New STEM Equipment !

    Funded Apr 18, 2024

    In this project, we had many fun STEM learning materials. I serve 30 students in my Pre-K setting and they range from ages 3-5. We have learners of all abilties. These students were so excited to see the many new items that came in for them to explore! They think "oh, new toys!" but they are really learning tools for them. Our tiny learners began playing the day they arrived. Our favorite item was our talking microscope! Every day students would come in asking for it. We had to set timers and take turns during centers every day because there was such a high interest of it. :) Even some of our higher behavior challenges were helped by their new interest in our STEM items. We have truly enjoyed intergrating all of the items into our class!”

  • Creating a Caring Community With Dramatic Play in PreK!

    Funded Dec 18, 2023

    My students are so thankful for your thoughtful donations towards our project that helped get it completely funded! The students saw all of the new baby dolls and other materials and immediately jumped up and down with excitement! In a world full of technology, it's truly the hands on play materials that make kids cheer with glee! So many new toys that kids don't have opportunities to play with and interact with at home are now available to them. As a teacher, I hate see the costs of items rise and know that I personally can't reach into my own pocket to provide for my most cherished people in my life. I am thankful for donors like you that so generously provide financially towards my students and allow these materials to be available to them. My kiddos have enjoyed having these babies and their accessories to play house and kitchen with. They have all becomed some well seasoned caretakers. :)”

  • Pre-K Picassos Need New Art Supplies!

    Funded Dec 12, 2023

    My students were so excited to see the many new art supplies! Their favorite was finally getting to dig their fingers into the finger paint and make pictures! The sensory seeking kiddos in my classroom were unstoppable in painting! They wanted to keep going! Our bigger kids loved getting to make rainbows with their fingers and found it super silly to use fingers instead of paint brushes! Finger painting brought many smiles and lots of laughter to the classroom. :)

    We also received some much needed paint smocks that students have been excited to wear! This has helped them to feel like real artists at work. ”

  • Dramatic Play! The Only Way To Learn In PreK!

    Funded Sep 11, 2023

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom! Every day, I have 30 PreK students, ages 3-5, show up ready to learn. We learn best through play! So many kids are coming from homes without play toys and they have no knowledge of how to play in pretend play. Therefore, a huge skill we teach is how to interact in social situations. Every kid has at least been to one restaurant in their life. Therefore, teaching kids in a situation they can relate to, helps them to feel confident in their play.

    Students were so excited to see their new items for their kitchen area and have created a dozen plus situations that involved their new food choices! Our favorite has been our pizzeria and our ABDE Kitchen! Students create their food, make their menus, serve the table, and even collect money for payment. :) We take time to compliment the chef and work on other restaurant manners.

    Thank you for supplying items that these students will continue to grow with and future classrooms for years to come. We greatly appreciate your giving heart.”

  • Help to Grow Literacy in PreK

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    We graciously received our materials before the first day of school and were so excited to add these literacy items to our classroom! It was like unwrapping a treasure chest and Christmas morning all at once! :)

    As school began, it was nice to be able to go straight to these resources to begin our teaching of phonics skills. Our favorite game was piggy bank syllables. Students were able to clap out the pictures on the gold coins and add them to their piggy banks. They felt like real "spenders" here. lol. They would clap for joy as we placed our gold coins into our banks.

    We received some fun folder games that became a life saver for differentiation between our 3-5 year old students. We have students that come in not knowing one letter, but then we have students that come in reading already! It's hard to meet every kid exactly where they are without proper materials. Teaching preschool students can be as exhausting as it is rewarding at times. When we go all day, we rarely have time to create our own folder games for students. These were ready to go and fun for the students! They bring the games to the teachers now asking to play! A lot have learned how to play them so well, that they can teach another and play independently. These materials have been a game changer for us! We greatly appreciate it all!!”
