    Funded Mar 24, 2025

    Thank you for your generous donation! My Kindergarten students will be excited and motivated to receive treats when they answer questions. The secret is that the kids are learning and will not think about it. The students will encourage each other to earn tasty treats. Once again, thank you for your kindness.”

  • Let's Start a Great Year!

    Funded Aug 29, 2024

    My English Language learners and I are so grateful for all the materials you have helped put into our classroom.

    Kindergartners need a hands-on approach when learning the letters of the alphabet.

    The Classroom Magnetic Letters Kit has allowed them to trace the letters with their fingers before they write on the dry-erase boards. The Giant Magnetic Number Bonds were a great hit during Math. The students can see the Part-Part-Total as described in the lesson. They love setting the date on the Classroom Monthly Calendar Pocket Chart. I cannot wait to create the Little Pig's house made of the Wood Craft Sticks.

    Thank you so very much!”

  • Techy Kindergarteners

    Funded Aug 26, 2024

    My English Language Learners and I would like to thank you for your generosity. We are listening to educational videos to learn the alphabet and numbers through songs. The songs have encouraged even my shy students to sing along with the videos. They act out the movements of the songs. It is so fulfilling to observe how music brings learning alive.

    The students are also amazed when they receive a colorful worksheet which brings in talks about the different colors. I noticed they are becoming more verbal about their observations.

    Once again, thank you for your kindness.”

  • Life in Kindergarten

    Funded Apr 2, 2024

    Thank you for your generous donation. My English Language Learners were very excited to paint on the white card stock. The white background surely made the colors more vibrant. The students enjoyed creating a painting for their parents. It was wonderful to see them express themselves through art.

    The Epson printer allowed me to print a numbers book for them so that they can continue to practice writing their numbers with proper formation.

    Once again thank you for your generous gift and for helping me bring my lessons to another level.”

My ENL students attend a Title One School who get free breakfast and lunch. Our school furniture is old and outdated. The students enjoy working on differentiated group activities and in a risk free environment. They want to be able to store their hard work in an area that is easily located and organized. Also, students need lots of labeling and pictures to model reading, writing, and math through the use of charts.
