• Learning to Write All Around the Classroom

  Funded Aug 9, 2024

  The new portable whiteboard has been a game-changer in my classroom! My students get to use it daily for collaborative problem-solving, brainstorming sessions, and interactive lessons.

  One memorable moment was during a group math activity where students got to use their portable whiteboard to visualize their solutions and I got to see them engaged and assess them at the same time. The boards allowed them to quickly test ideas, erase mistakes, and refine their work together—it was amazing to see their critical thinking skills in action.

  My Kinders have reached the part of the school year where their fine motor skills are developing and can independently write and work out problems with more independence. It is amazing to see all they have accomplished as of now, I can only imagine how much more they will accomplish by the end of the school year. Thank you so much for your generosity! It is making a difference in our kids' education.

  Thank you,

• Learning Through Play

  Funded Jul 7, 2024

  Thank you for your generous support for our "Learning Through Play" project! Your contributions have made a significant impact in allowing us to incorporate manipulative in an engaging manner that promotes play but also math literacy. By integrating these tools into our curriculum, we have created an environment where children can explore, discover, and develop essential skills for developing number skills.

  Your support has transformed the resources that I have at my disposal for our math block. We know that tactile and motor skills are integral for student learning, especially at the kinder level, and Learning through play has provided us access to incorporate just that in our learning. The manipulatives have become vital counting collection tools, enabling children to grasp mathematical concepts through hands-on experiences. We are incredibly grateful for your commitment to fostering a love for learning in our young learners, and we look forward to seeing the lasting effects of your generosity in their educational journeys. Thank you for being a crucial part of our mission!”

• Classroom Rug for Our Littles

  Funded Jul 3, 2024

  I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the beautiful new classroom rug. My students were able to see the new classroom rug unraveled and it filled them with joy to choose their new spot and soft space. It has truly transformed our learning space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for my students. It is the place where my students do much of their learning, the comfy spot to relax and their favorite place in the classroom. It's wonderful to see how much they enjoy sitting on the rug, making learning feel even more engaging.

  Thank you once again for your generous contribution. Your support makes a significant difference in our classroom environment, and I am excited to see the positive impact it will continue to have on my students' learning experiences. We're all looking forward to many cozy story times and group activities on our new rug!”

• Kinder Kitchen Corner

  Funded Jun 14, 2024

  Our Kinder Kitchen Corner has been a source of joy and a positive impact on my kiddos social development. My kinder class is enhancing their social skills through cooperative play, sharing, and imaginative roles! They live in a passive world where adults are guiding their everyday lifestyles. This kitchen play set has provided them the opportunity to enable independence through their own decision making and create their own story lines. It's been so rewarding to witness the most timid student interact with their peers through play.

  When my students first saw their classroom, their eyes filled with excitement as soon as they saw their kitchen corner. Parents leaving their little ones for school for the first time seemed relaxed with the welcoming and beautiful section their child would get to enjoy. It has been a source of joy for my students, parents and even students not in my classroom. I have students from previous years visit my classroom and beg to play a fe moments in the kitchen corner. I feel fortunate to have received such donation that has beautified my classroom and brought so much imagination and happiness. On behalf of my students, my school and I, thank you!”
