  • Clean and Colorful

    Funded Dec 13, 2024

    Thank you so much for your incredible support and generosity! Your donations have made a meaningful impact in our classroom, and we are truly grateful.

    With the HP ink cartridges, we are now able to print essential learning materials, engaging worksheets, and vibrant visuals that enhance our lessons. This has been especially beneficial for students who thrive with hands-on and visual learning aids. Having access to these resources in real-time has allowed for greater flexibility and creativity in our classroom.

    The Command strips and double-sided tape have helped us create an engaging and welcoming learning environment. We have used them to display student work, educational posters, and motivational quotes without damaging the walls. Students love seeing their work showcased, which boosts their confidence and sense of pride in their achievements.

    Additionally, the Viva Multi-Surface Paper Towels have been a lifesaver for keeping our learning space clean and organized. Whether it's wiping down desks after creative projects or quick cleanups, these have helped us maintain a neat and healthy classroom environment.

    One student, in particular, was so excited to see their artwork displayed using the new supplies. They proudly pointed it out to classmates, saying, "Look! My work is on the wall for everyone to see!" Moments like these remind us how small things can make a big difference in a child's confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

    Your generosity has not only provided essential supplies but has also created a space where students feel valued and inspired. Thank you for being a part of our classroom and for making such a positive impact on our students' education”

  • Holiday Cheer

    Funded Nov 27, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous support of our project, "Holiday Cheer." The students were thrilled to bring the holidays to life through meaningful, creative activities for their families.

    We worked on two special projects to share with families: a handprint canvas featuring each child's name alongside a heartwarming saying, and personalized ornaments with ribbons as tall as the students themselves. The kids were so excited to create these heartfelt gifts! They worked diligently, practicing their handwriting to proudly write their names on the canvases, and carefully measuring the ribbon for their ornaments.

    One memorable moment was seeing the pride in their eyes as they held up their finished canvases and exclaimed, "My family is going to love this!" It was truly rewarding to witness their joy as they worked on these projects.

    Thank you for making this possible. Your generosity helped create cherished memories for my students and their families, and we are so grateful for your support!”

  • Cuddle Buddies

    Funded Nov 6, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom! The Cuddle Buddies have already made a significant difference in creating a warm and welcoming environment for our students.

    The moment the Squishmallows were introduced, the excitement in the room was palpable. Many students immediately picked their favorite cuddle buddy and shared how much they love them and how cute they were.The students got to take their cuddle buddies home and they were so excited to do so and to have something new to cuddle with while reading their books.

    Thank you again for bringing so much joy and comfort into our classroom. Your kindness is making a lasting impact on my students' learning and emotional well-being!”

  • Observe and Explore!

    Funded Apr 14, 2024

    Our school year is starting off great, thanks to your generous donations! Students are being introduced to the concept of what a scientist is and how they can be one. The science shelf and pocket charts from this Donors Choose project have made this a breeze!

    Students are learning about all the different tools a scientist uses and are using them to investigate tree pieces and seashells. Our science center is engaging and easy for them to keep organized with the materials you helped us fund. We appreciate you!”

  • End-Of-Year Fun!

    Funded Apr 6, 2024

    We are overflowing with gratitude for your generous support of our preschool's End of Year Fun project. Your donations of t-shirts for tie-dyeing, bubble wands, and a bubble machine have made our celebrations truly unforgettable.

    The tie-dye t-shirts were a fantastic hit! The children had an amazing time creating their own colorful designs, and it was heartwarming to see their faces light up with pride and joy as they wore their unique creations. This activity not only allowed them to express their creativity but also created lasting memories.

    The bubble wands and bubble machine added an extra layer of excitement to our festivities. The sheer delight on the children's faces as they chased and popped bubbles was priceless. These simple joys brought so much laughter and happiness, making our end-of-year celebration extra special.

    Your kindness and support have given our preschoolers a wonderful way to celebrate the end of the school year. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and for helping us create such joyful and memorable experiences for our little ones.”

  • Outside Fun!

    Funded Apr 4, 2024

    We are thrilled for your incredible support of our "Outside Fun" project. Your donations of new trucks, balls, and totes have brought so much joy and excitement to our preschoolers' outdoor playtime.

    The new trucks and balls have quickly become favorites among the children, sparking their imaginations and encouraging active play. These toys have not only provided endless fun but have also fostered important skills such as teamwork, coordination, and creativity.

    The new totes have been incredibly helpful in keeping our play area organized and ensuring that all the toys are stored safely and neatly. This has made it easier for the children to access and put away their toys, promoting responsibility and independence.

    Your generosity has truly transformed our outdoor play area into a vibrant and engaging space where our preschoolers can learn, grow, and have fun. We cannot thank you enough for making such a positive impact on their daily experiences.”

  • Colorful Basics

    Funded May 8, 2024

    We are overjoyed and for your kind and thoughtful donations to our preschool classroom. Your contributions to our colorful basics project have made a significant impact on our daily activities and classroom environment.

    Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to create vibrant and colorful labels for our classroom, enhancing the learning experience for our little ones. These labels have not only brightened our space but have also helped our students in recognizing and organizing their learning materials more effectively.

    The paper towels have been indispensable in maintaining a clean and healthy classroom, ensuring that our students have a safe and hygienic environment to explore and learn. The laminating sheets have preserved our educational materials, allowing us to reuse them for future classes. The printer ink has been vital for printing various resources and the yardstick has been a useful tool in our daily activities.

    Your support means the world to us, and we cannot thank you enough for making a positive difference in our preschool community. Our students are thriving, and your generosity plays a big part in their success.”

  • Sandbox Fun!

    Funded Nov 9, 2023

    We put our new items together this week on our playground! We used the covers and liners to get our existing sandboxes ready, then filled them with sand. We used existing tools like buckets, shovels, rakes, and scoops to make an inviting place for students to learn about volume, texture, measurement, and to have fun.

    We appreciate the opportunity to teach and learn about these math and science concepts outdoor and in a fun way! Young children learn through hands-on exploration and sensory input. This will be a great introduction to measurement!”

  • Nature Exploration

    Funded Sep 11, 2023

    Students loved taking nature walks this fall to find things to fill our new blocks and specimen boxes! They lived in our science center throughout the season so students could safely observe them and watch them change as items dried out and changed color. Students used magnifying glasses we already had to get up close and see details. Students also enjoyed building with the blocks, making nature towers and "buildings".

    Thank you for your generous donations that helped us get back to nature this fall!”

    Ms. Jarvis

    This classroom project was brought to life by Panda Cares.
As an inclusive preschool classroom, we work to meet a variety of physical and sensory needs. When students are comfortable in their seats (many of my students are not comfortable sitting on the floor), they can focus on learning, rather than how their bodies feel. As a preschool classroom, we do not use desks. While we have a few tables with small chairs, most of our work and play take place on the floor. Some of my students need bean bags to help them sit up and participate during whole group. Others will benefit from an inflatable circle to help with their wiggles. These seating options also help them understand where their body/seat is in space and can help keep in their space during group time.
