Diverse Books for a Multicultural Kindergarten
Funded Mar 16, 2021Thank you for adding multicultural books to our kindergarten library. It has helped to enrich the students by learning about different cultures and customs. We are learning to celebrate each other's differences and traditions.
We share in an open space, listening to stories about new and exciting customs and pausing to ask questions or share something we found interesting.
All the students are enjoying the books and a newfound appreciation of our individuality and diversity. The books have given us a lot of new material to spark conversations with each other.”

Funded Sep 17, 2020Thank you so much for helping transform my virtual classroom through the use of the document camera. I use my document camera every day. I am able to switch my camera to the doc cam so that the students can see me doing the activity. I can write in live time using the document camera, which really benefited the students. With the document camera, I am able to teach writing lessons quickly, effectively, and effortlessly. THANK YOU for making this happen! I am also able to model one to one correspondence and point to the text while reading. Thank you for helping us engage our students more than ever!”

Listen Up: Supply Our Centers
Funded Jan 3, 2015Our class was very excited to receive the pocket chart holder and entire listening center. The students commented on how fortunate they felt receiving the new resources and that they will take care of the new items for future kindergarten students. The students jumped up and down when they saw books with cds for the listening center.
The students are enjoying the ability to listen to books they are familiar with at center time and using the pocket chart for our daily word study activities. The listening center is one of the favorites for the class and has a rotation list to ensure everyone has a turn. We use the listening center and pocket chart easel daily.
I am truly grateful that our project was funded. The addition of the pocket chart easel has added to our daily word study. It has created an interactive way for students to engage in letter recognition. The new listening center has reinforced vocabulary and language to our entire class.”

Printing In Living Color
Funded Sep 29, 2014Our class is very excited to have a color printer. They love how our computer center is not complete. The students are happy to projects and ways we can incorporate the printer into our daily classroom routines.
The students have labeled the entire classroom with pictures and printed labels. We have set up our classroom daily schedule with pictures of our daily activities and also printed pictures of our cluster teachers to help remember what cluster subject we are attending on particular days. We also created a garden of flowers with our picture for our kinder "garden" display.
The printer has enabled our ESL learners to utilize pictures with printed words throughout the day. The class is also able to create artwork and use pictures at any point throughout the day. We no longer have to wait which has fostered a print and picture rich environment in our classroom.”
