  • Let’s Build A Literacy Center

    Funded Jul 25, 2021

    Thank you again for the funding for the literacy materials for my preschool classroom. The children have loved using the new items in exciting ways that they choose. The alphabet stamps and ink pads are a huge hit with my students. Children now have the opportunity to create their own books with assorted writing tools, play alphabet games, practice tracing letters, and just experimenting with language in playful ways.

    I am truly grateful for your generosity to the young learners in my care each day.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Finnerty

  • Let’S Get STEMing! Science Materials for Pre K

    Funded Apr 12, 2021

    My students are loving the new materials we received! The light box table is a big hit. My children use the translucent accessories and manipulative to build, design, and experiment with the light. Students have also enjoyed the new balancing set and have had a lot of fun weighing different objects around the room. This really life science, technology, and engineering is so relevant and meaningful to these sweet 3, 4, and 5 year olds. We are truly grateful for your kindness and generosity. Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Finnerty

  • Pre-K Play: Help Us Do It Every Day!

    Funded Jan 8, 2020

    Our materials that were donated through your generosity have been wonderful. The children love seeing all the orders and boxes coming to the classroom. They immediately wanted to know what was inside! The wooden blocks have been the biggest hit in our classroom. The children have gravitated to that area and have been building magnificent structures. The sensory beads have also been a favorite of my students. They scoop, pour, and funnel the beads in a variety of different ways. I am so thankful for the opportunity to revive these awesome learning resources.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Finnerty

I’m so excited and hopeful for my project to be funded! My students will have expanded opportunities to explore STEM and literacy through these carefully selected materials. Wooden unit blocks are a staple in early childhood classrooms and I want my students to be able to experience planning and building with them. An organized Listening Literacy Center will help my students be able to more independently access a variety of books on CD and a diverse selection of music. Sensory beads will also be a welcomed change to the typical sensory table experiences in our class. I know the children will have fun and learn at the same time!
