  • Playful Inclusion: Tools for Special Education Kindergarten

    Funded Feb 14, 2024

    I am incredibly grateful to announce that our special education kindergarten project has been fully funded, thanks to your generous support. Your contributions will make a lasting impact on the learning experiences of my students, who inspire me daily with their resilience and eagerness to learn.

    The resources you have helped provide are carefully chosen to address the diverse needs and abilities of my students. From interactive sound puzzles to dramatic play food and suction spinners, each item serves a specific purpose in promoting cognitive, social, and physical development. These tools will not only support their academic growth but also foster a sense of inclusion and belonging in our classroom community.

    My ultimate goal for this project is to create an environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential. By embracing their diversity and providing tailored resources, I believe we can create a foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Your support has brought us one step closer to achieving this vision, and I am truly grateful for your commitment to making a difference in the lives of students with disabilities.

    Thank you once again for your generosity and belief in our mission.”

  • Building a Love for Reading: Developmental Kindergarten Library

    Funded Sep 29, 2023

    I am thrilled to share the impact your generous support has had on my developmental kindergarten classroom. Thanks to your contributions, we have been able to expand our library with a diverse range of new books, sparking excitement and curiosity among my students.

    For many of my students, these new texts have opened up a world of possibilities. They are eagerly exploring different genres, characters, and themes, and their enthusiasm for reading has never been higher. I've noticed a significant improvement in their reading skills as they engage with the rich content of these books, from decoding words to understanding complex plots.

    In our classroom, reading is not just a solitary activity; it's a communal experience filled with discussions, shared insights, and moments of laughter and joy. I've witnessed friendships blossom as students bond over their favorite stories, and even the most reluctant readers are finding joy in exploring new worlds through books.

    One student, in particular, stands out for their newfound love of reading. Previously hesitant to pick up a book, they now eagerly dive into our classroom library, exploring different titles and eagerly sharing their discoveries with their peers. It's heartwarming to see their confidence grow with each page turned, and I'm excited to see how their passion for reading continues to flourish.

    Your support has truly made a difference in the lives of my students, empowering them to become confident readers and lifelong learners. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping to make this possible.”

  • Kindergarten Essentials for Our Little Learners

    Funded Jan 18, 2024

    I am thrilled to share the exciting news that our "Kindergarten Essentials for Our Little Learners" project on DonorsChoose.org has been fully funded, all thanks to your incredible generosity. The arrival of the requested snacks, disinfecting wipes, tissues, and child safety locks has made an immediate and positive impact on my classroom.

    The addition of small snacks before the end of the day has significantly improved my students' ability to focus and engage effectively in the learning process. This simple provision ensures that every moment in the classroom is utilized for their growth and development. As we enter the cold season, the disinfecting wipes and tissues have become essential tools in maintaining a clean and healthy environment, particularly for those with compromised immune systems.

    Your support perfectly aligns with my goals for this project – to ensure my students come to school each day well-fed, healthy, and safe. These essentials not only meet these goals but also create an environment where my students can fully embrace their early education experience, fostering growth and development.

    What makes my students special is their resilience and boundless curiosity. Despite the challenges they face, your generosity has amplified their unwavering enthusiasm for learning. They are bright, inquisitive, and full of hope for the future, and your support is an integral part of shaping their educational journey.

    On behalf of myself, my students, and their families, I extend my deepest gratitude for making this project a reality. Your contribution is not just a donation; it is an investment in the potential and future success of these young learners. Thank you for being a vital part of their educational journey.”

As a new developmental kindergarten teacher, I am excited to create a classroom environment that is inclusive and supportive of all my students. My students have a range of disabilities, including some who are non-verbal and have limited mobility. One of my students uses a wheelchair, and it is important to me that they feel comfortable and included in all classroom activities. Additionally, most of my students come from low-income families, which makes it difficult for them to access books and other educational resources at home. Despite these challenges, my students are eager to learn and grow. They are creative, curious, and full of energy. I want to provide them with a classroom library that reflects their diverse interests and abilities. With your help, I can purchase books that feature characters with disabilities, books that celebrate diversity, and books that inspire a love of learning.
