Student Cubbies for Our New TK Classroom!

Funded Sep 11, 2023

It is with great appreciation and tremendous gratitude that I submit this impact letter to you for your kindness, generosity and willingness to give towards my student project in my new TK classroom. In Transitional Kindergarten we are establishing early literacy skills such as learning the front and back cover of a book, turning the pages correctly, reading left to right, top to bottom, and learning that words are made up of letters and understanding that printed words have meaning. With the books that were donated we have been able to explore these concepts using texts focusing on identity, diversity, justice and activism. My students love going to our classroom library to explore our new books!

Several pre-literacy skills have been identified as predictors of later reading ability in vocabulary, narrative skills, phonological awareness, print awareness, print motivation, and letter knowledge. When children build skills in these areas, they are preparing to become readers. With the literacy and math activities, manipulatives and games we have been able to explore letters and numbers in more meaningful ways. Your donations have provided opportunities for my students to participate in engaging and hands-on learning activities.”

With gratitude,
