• Pretty Printing

  Funded Mar 28, 2023

  Being able to have a color printer accessible is HUGE!!! I was able to print and create many hands on and colorful activities for my students to engage in. I was able to print pictures and visuals to go with our themes that we were learning so that I could bring our learning to life and have references to our learning throughout the units. I was able to print out real life photos that went along with our units instead of things being on a screen. I was able to add colorful photos to our word wall with each unit of study and being able to do this all in color made it more engaging for the students. Thank you for allowing me to provide this for my students.”

• Say Cheese!

  Funded Sep 7, 2022

  Thank you so much for your donations. Pre-school relies so heavily on visuals and creating a very strong school-home connection. Your donation have allowed us to add personal touches to our classroom. We have had the ability to add student pictures to student work, use student pictures for our question of the day, label student cubbies with their pictures and we have had multiple opportunities to print pictures out of activities we are working on in class and share those pictures with families and that has been priceless. Thank you!”

• We Are Not Always Write but We Always Try

  Funded Dec 31, 2021

  Thank you so much for your donation. One of the most powerful tools in class are the engaging resources that teachers use. You donation helped me purchase engaging writing activities for my students to improve on their creative writing ideas, their handwriting skills and overall writing structure. I was able to purchase age appropriate writing prompts that offered a variety of prompts for each month. My students enjoy the layout of the activities I have purchased and they loved to share their ideas with their peers and teachers and then put their ideas into writing.”

• Write on it!

  Funded Oct 22, 2020

  Thank you so much for your donation. This year of teaching has been challenging to say the least. My students were all virtual learning and they really lacked the supplies they needed. Your donation allowed me to provide students with a composition book for us to practice our fine motor skills and practice letter and sentence writing with proper formation. It is not developmental appropriate for kindergartners to use regular lined paper and these composition books allowed us to really start our writing journey and gave us a space to illustrate our work. Thank you so much.”

• Making the Cut With a Cricut

  Funded Nov 29, 2019

  Thank you so much for your donation. The cricut has been so helpful for many projects around the classroom. We have been able to do many crafts with our students from creating bulletin boards, to decorating our door for the holiday door decorating contest, to making hats for our holiday performance. It has enabled us more time to craft because we do not have to spend as much time on preparing the materials. Your donation has enabled me to be more creative with my students and they love al the projects we have done.”

• Organization to Perfection

  Funded Aug 13, 2019

  One of the most important factors that contribute to a warm classroom environment is organization. This helps the flow of the classroom and really minimizes chaos.

  Your donation allowed me to organize all my small group materials, all whole group activities for the day, create math warm up problem baskets for each table, listening center cart and much more. Everything has its place and students take ownership and accountability for putting things where they belong. Thank you for helping us improve our classroom environment.”

• Writing Primarily in Kinder

  Funded Aug 13, 2019

  Thank you so much for your donation. These journals are just the stepping stone to their writing adventures. They were so thrilled to get their own special journals to write all of their amazing stories and have a space for them to illustrate their stories and have lines that are more appropriate for their grade level. The other journals would not allow my students the proper space to truly illustrate their photos. These are perfect for emergent writers and I can't wait to be able to look back and check their progress as the school year goes on.”
