  • Color Our Room With a Printer and Ink!

    Funded Nov 30, 2021

    Your donations give my students the opportunity to have access to color books and pages. I was able to put together packets for them using coloring something we had not had access to.

    This was specifically helpful for my students with disabilities. We also printed out sheets that we used for their assessments. This gave them an opportunity to answer many questions and label and name colors and shapes. I was also able to print pictures for their portfolios.

    I am very grateful for all your support.”

  • Calming Area

    Funded Feb 15, 2023

    Thank you so much for your donations. Thanks to your donation we were able to provide our students with an area where they could reset and calm their bodies. They learned about their feelings and ways in which they could calm themselves with the use of the feelings charts.

    My students were able to utilize the calming corner area whenever they were having a difficult time transitioning or when they needed a break.

    Again I want to thank you for your generosity and support. My students, and I appreciate your thoughtful gesture.”

  • A Clean Space to Gather, Learn, and Play Together!

    Funded Sep 24, 2021

    I am so grateful for all your support and help during these past few years. Being able to get this project funded has been such an amazing thing for my classroom. My students finally got to enjoy and sit on a new/clean carpet. Unfortunately the old carpet we had was very old. Having a clean carpet has made it so much easier to transition my students to center circle. My students enjoy sitting and laying down in the carpet area. They sit there and read books, they dance during music and movement time. It has been wonderful to see their engagement and excitement now that we have a new capers. Thank you so much.”

    Funded Aug 31, 2020

    Unfortunately, this year we were unable to begin the school year face to face but thanks to your generous donation they were able to begin the school year with supplies and material that help them explore their creativity. The art supplies and the backpacks helped my students stay engaged and develop more skills during distance learning. The backpacks contained pencils, crayons, number cards, glue as well as other materials that helped them practice their writing skills, number and letter skills. Thank you so much for your continuous support.”

  • Our Very Own Magnetic ABC and 123 Kits

    Thank you for all your wonderful donations. Your donations helped my students have their own letter and number kits at home during the pandemic. Thanks to your donations they were able to practice their skills and continue to grow and succeed in the classroom setting. During the year the students were able to participate in spelling, writing, and labeling activities. They learned how to spell their names using the letter magnets and they learned how to count using the magnet numbers. I am very thankful for your continuous support.”

  • Distance Learning Kits for My Preschoolers

    Funded Aug 31, 2020

    Thank you very much for your generous donations. The material we received was distributed equally and it was put into individual bags. We set up a day in which the parents were able to safely drop by campus and pick up a bag with material for their child. During zoom time we make different activities and the children are able to use the material they received. All the children were very happy when they opened up their bags and saw the many things they received. Again thank you so much for your generous donations. My students and I are very grateful.”

  • Learning is Multi-Sensory!

    Funded May 8, 2019

    When my students first saw all the new material we received they were very excited. They all had the opportunity to explore the material during our learning centers and free choice play time. My students and I are very thankful for all your support. Your generous donation is helping my students explore their senses while they play, share and interact with their peers. Thanks to yoru generocity they now have access to different objects that they can physically feel, smell, explore and touch. We will continue to be using the material during our different daily activities. I am excited to see how my students will continue to use the material and how they will use their senses while exploring the foam, kinetic sand, and all the other materials we received. Again I want to thank you for all your support and for giving my students the opportunity to explore and learn through the new sensory material we received.”

  • Fostering Early Literacy for Little Learners

    Funded May 9, 2019

    Thank you very much for your donations. My students have been enjoying the material. They love to explore the different items. During free choice and learning center's they have the ability to use the items that we received. For instance, they are able to use the letter stamps to spell out their name or to explore different letters with different color ink pads. All of my students are enjoying all the items we received. The one item that they are enjoying the best is the box of alphabet sound teaching tubs. During our learning center's we learn about different letters and they enjoy learning about different items that begin with each letter. Thank you once again for you thoughtfulness and for taking the time to help my students receive items that will enrich their literacy skills.”

My goal is to provide my students with all the resources I can. I am a special needs teacher for a preschool class. My students have a different range of disabilities. Although many of them have a hard time communicating they always try their best and they enjoy participating in our classroom activities. My students enjoy working with different types of materials and they always make the best of what we have. It can be a little challenging at times when you don't have the material that can make a difference in a child's life. Every single child in our class is different and requires different adaptations. I have a group of 10 amazing children who enjoy coming to school everyday regardless of their disability. When they walk inside the door they are happy and they are treated equally. We try to create the best environment possible and we try to make them feel respected, understood, loved, and cared for.
