Pandemic Prepared
Funded Sep 26, 2020Thank you so much for contributing to my grant, Pandemic Prepared. This has been an unusual school year to say the least, but your kindness has helped to bring a little bit of normalcy to our classroom.
Throughout the week students work hard to follow the rules, show kindness, and help each other out each day. Their efforts are rewarded with tickets. At the end of the week, those tickets allow the students to "buy" play time during our Fun Friday. Your generosity helped to make Fun Friday possible this year.
The students squealed with excitement the first time they were able to see their individualized Fun Friday buckets. They were so eager to open the containers and discover what fun was available inside. Because of the extra caution we have to take this year with germs and keeping students safe, these individual buckets have allowed us to still have fun.”

Funded Nov 21, 2018My students were so excited to receive their materials for Fun Friday. We received Kinetic Sand, a doll house, people and furniture for the doll house, and some digging tools for the sand. These materials added to the choices that students could make when they were spending their tickets for Fun Friday. Students work extra hard to earn tickets each week for Fun Friday through hard work and positive behavior in the classroom and school. The Kinetic Sand is always the first item to be chosen by students who earn the most tickets. The doll house is also a very popular choice among both boys and girls in the classroom.
The week that the materials arrived students were bubbling with excitement as each box was delivered to the classroom. They couldn't wait for me to open the boxes and show them what was inside. Students were trying harder than ever to earn tickets through positive behavior and hard work in the classroom. They wanted to be the first students to play with the new items at Fun Friday.
I was so excited this week! The Kinetic Sand inspired a first grade writer. Students were asked to choose a favorite toy to write about. Because this boy does not have a lot of toys at home, he chose a toy from school and it was Kinetic Sand. Thank you for making Fun Friday a little more fun and even inspiring a young writer.”
