• We Need Ink for Visual Aids

  Funded Nov 14, 2024

  Thank you for your kindness and generosity, the ink has been so helpful in providing my students with visuals that will help them better understand the curriculum studies. During te school year the children learn about pets, buildings, recycling, trees, balls, clothes and insects. With the ink you provided I have been able to print pictures of wild and domesticated animals. I have printed pictures of evergreen and deciduous trees. I have printed pictures of people weaving thread and making fabric. I have printed pictures of the effect pollution has on ocean animals and the importance of recycling. I have printed images of landfills and polluted oceans. These images have been helpful in helping my students develop language and understanding pertaining to the different study topics. Thank you so much for your generosity, we truly appreciate it!”

• We Need Ink and Laminating Sheets for Learning Visuals!

  Funded Aug 15, 2024

  My students and I are so thankful for your generosity, we truly appreciate it! Thanks to the materials you have generously gifted us, my support team and I have been able to print amazing pictures for our students to see. The children are currently learning about buildings. They've learned who builds buildings, what buildings are made of, what's special about buildings and what happens inside buildings. They've seen pictures of a wide variety of tools, construction vehicles, engineers, architects, plumbers, carpenters, painters, building plans and buildings. They've grown in knowledge and learned new vocabulary thanks to their picture observations. Thank you so much for the resources, they've definitely made a wide difference in my student's learning.”

  We're extremely thankful for your generosity and kindness. My students love to engage in art activities. These beautiful materials have definitely come in handy since they were much needed in our classroom art center. My students have been using them to express themselves creatively and artistically. They have made animals, cars, dinosaurs, houses and people with the collage materials. I have displayed their creations in our art area and they look absolutely beautiful. My students have such a fun, relaxing time when they're doing art. Thank you so much for your generosity.”

• We Need Ink for Visual Aids.

  Funded Nov 29, 2023

  We're extremely thankful for your generosity. My students have benefited so much and grown so much in their learning and knowledge from the visual aids I used to teach during small and large group instructions. Looking at the pictures has helped them better understand the topic they're learning about. For example during our Pet Study the children had the opportunity to see pictures of wild and domesticated animals, images of animal habitats and various animal foods. Thanks to the computer ink we received, I was able to print various images for them to observe to help maximize their learning. Thank you so much for your generosity, we're truly blessed by your gift.”

• Reaching Our Full Potential!

  Funded May 14, 2023

  Thank you so much for the beautiful book collection, glue sticks and tubs. Thanks to your generosity my students have been able to engage in a wide variety of art activities. During our summer school session the children learned about the ocean theme, they made a wide variety of ocean creatures. The glue sticks came in handy as they engaged in art activities. We were able to keep all of our art materials organized and ready for use in the new tubs. Additionally, the book collection fostered my students social emotional learning as the books were used during read aloud time and followed by a writing and drawing activity to foster comprehension and language development. I can't thank you enough for your generosity, the children and I are extremely thankful!”

  My students and I are extremely grateful for the beautiful social emotional book collection. The children have enjoyed social emotional learning story time thanks to the incredible book resources you provided for them. The books have been used as a vehicle to teach my students self regulation, cooperation, collaboration, understanding, kindness and how to manage emotions. Their social emotional intelligence has definitely been heightened thanks to these tools. The children have participated in social emotional activities such as drawing beautiful art pictures with pastels to foster a sense of pride and appreciation of others.

• We're Preschool Science Explorers!

  Funded Apr 7, 2023

  We're extremely thankful for your generosity and kindness. The science instructional materials are an amazing addition to our science interest area. The kids have been particularly curious of the beautiful sparkling crystals in the agate slices, the kids can't believe the crystals were inside of rocks! They've also been in awe of the nature branches and have asked me if they're tree parts, they've also asked "Who cut the tree?". I'm sharing a few pictures of the beautiful nature block structures the children have built with them as they explore our science center. The children are learning about the plant life cycle and plant parts as they explore the Hydroponics kit. My students are growing in knowledge as they explore all of our new science center instructional materials and for that I'm extremely thankful!”

From the bottom of my heart thank you for investing in early childhood education.”
