  • Back to Basics

    Funded Aug 13, 2022

    Thank you so much for your donations. The children have really benefited from all the supplies. This year not one child is in need for any beginning of the year supplies. In fact, just the other day a student was upset because he didn't have something. Your supplies made him feel so much better.

    So much is expected from the kindergarten this year. Not having to worry about basic school needs has been great. Thank you so much for your generous donation.

    Each day the children start the day with a good morning dance. Our class is filled with smiles. I love to watch the children learn and grow without the worry of not being prepared.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. DeLiso

  • Back to Basics

    Funded Aug 12, 2021

    Thank you does not say enough. This has been a very rough year. I've taught 25 and this seems to be one of the hardest. Having your donations to start off our year was a big bonus. The kids and their families are in need of supplies, your donations were si helpful.

    Having the needed supplies has been so beneficial. I see myself going to the store less for basic supplies.

    Although this year has been a struggle, your donations have brightened up my year. Please know that any amount you donated has gone far!”

  • Reading Rules!

    Funded May 26, 2020

    "Thank you" is not enough words to express the gratitude I have for your donations. This has been a rough school year. I am so happy to start off running, with the supplies you helped purchase.

    Since 2020, we have needed so much help. I appreciate all that you have done. The students I teach are young. For many, this is their first experience of school. Your donations have helped make this start wonderful.

    I hope that you understand, no matter how small your donation, it was a giant gift for us. The students in Kindergarten Room 1 at Thomas Holme School greatly appreciate the donations and well wishes you have sent us.”

  • Anchors Away!

    Funded Dec 6, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous donations of anchor charts. The class has been in love with the new charts that have self adhesive and do not fall off the walls. The kids are thrilled.

    We use these charts daily. We make new charts several times a day. Then we hang them in the room to reflect on later. We also use the anchor charts later fir our continued learning.

    The kids especially love to look at them when they have a clipboard and are "writing the room".

    Thank you again for your donation. It has been put to use daily in our kindergarten class.”

  • Learning Letters and Numbers Properly

    Funded Dec 31, 2018

    Thank you so much for the donation of our new easel! Our morning message each day is so much easier to read. Also the children are able to come up to the message and reach the board to correct any grammar mistakes. The students love to fix my mistakes. I often "forget" capital letters and punctuation. This new lined board makes the mistakes easy to identify.

    When we are working on Math, the children are able to write letters properly. They also are able to watch as I form number equations. The students love to get to hold the marker and draw a picture to answer the equation.

    Later in the afternoon, the students love to have the easel for a center. They use the magnetic side to spell and write words.

    This donation is wonderful. Thank you so much for thinking of Room 1.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. DeLiso

  • Kindergarten is Where It all Begins

    Funded Feb 2, 2017

    The students are loving the new iPad! Their excitement is amazing! The students are thrilled to be able to use the iPad. The students use it daily to practice math and phonics. Soon we will be using the computer for research. The computer teacher has been teaching the students about different educational websites.

    Best of all - since this was such a well received gift the principal is allowing the kindergarten to sign out the school laptops 4 at a time! Thank you so much for the wonderful donation!”

    With gratitude,

Hello! Welcome to kindergarten! This is K-1! I tell all my students and their guardians they are in this class because we are #1! I teach in a public city school. The students I teach have many struggles at home. The school provides free breakfast and lunch daily. We are in need of many things. However, I really want to build a computer center in my classroom. These students need to have access to computers. Many are economically disadvantaged and do not have computer access at home. I want the students to be able to use learning programs that will help teach letters and numbers. Also, I would love to use the resources to help the students research science topics. Thanks so much!
