  • And Then There Was Light!

    Funded Nov 30, 2022

    Thank you so much for blessing my students and I with this amazing light table and all the light table manipulatives!! My students couldn't wait for me to open our boxes!! We immediately plugged up the light table and started using it. I can tell you that with the light table trays it didn't take my students any time to figure out patterning, which is a very important skill in preschool. The transparent numbers and letters have also been a BIG hit. I have 3 year olds who are already practicing putting the letters in alphabet order!! I would have never been able to purchase these items without your support. My kiddos and I thank you SO much!!”

  • Loose Parts!

    Funded May 2, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating to our classroom!! We received our "Loose Parts" toward the end of last school year. Sorry it has taken me so long to thank you all. When I was unboxing our new activities, my afternoon kiddos (4-5 year olds) were going crazy!! They were so excited to explore everything.

    Now, here we are in a new school year with new kiddos. I waited a couple weeks before I got out our Loose part activities. Well, if you could have seen the kids faces when I showed them...they had the biggest smiles and have been playing with them everyday!!

    These loose parts are going to be so helpful in strengthening their fine motor skills. Again, thank you SO much for blessing us!!”

  • Organization = Successful Learning

    Funded Apr 4, 2022

    Thank you for supporting our classroom! I hate that it took me so long to send out a Thank You message!! Over the summer I was able to rearrange my room and use the shelving and cabinets that you all so graciously provided for us. The bar stools in the dramatic play center are being used daily!! The kids love sitting in them along with using them for their babies. These items allow us to keep our classroom organized, which provides a more successful environment for learning. You all have blessed us and we are so very greatful.”

  • Fine Motor for Busy Little Fingers

    Funded Apr 12, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generosity! Last school year when we received our boxes they kids could not wait until we opened them. When I told them that people, who we didn't even know, purchased these for us one of my students asked if it was Santa. Haha! I told them you all kind of are like Santa. My kiddos this year are now getting to enjoy these fine motor activities. My students play with this toys daily and I love that it is strengthening their fine motor skills! Thank you for investing in my student's education. We truly appreciate it.”

  • Strengthen Those Motor Skills!

    Funded Sep 19, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generosity. You have been a part of creating so many learning experiences. All the fine motor activities you have provided have are available daily during center time and there isn't a day goes by that my student's do not get them out. When we unpacked the boxes the kiddos had a hard time understanding why I wouldn't let them open all the boxes at once. I explained to them that we were only going to get a few out at a time. So now, the excitement over these new activities is ongoing!

    What I love those most about these fine motor activities is that the kids think they are just toys! They have no idea that they are learning and developing their fine motor skills all at the same time! Thank you again for supporting my student's education.”

  • It's My Turn! My Turn!

    Funded Dec 3, 2019

    THANK YOU! Words can’t even begin to describe how much my kids and I appreciate your generosity. Not only will these new pieces allow us to make the most of our classroom space, they will also provide my kids many more opportunities to express themselves through painting and writing! Now, time to add new activities to my upcoming lesson plans!!!”

  • Let's Pretend!

    Funded Oct 15, 2019

    Thank you so much for your donations! We received our items last week, we just finally were able to rearrange our room to make it more easily accessible for our kids. While I was opening the packages, the kids were already trying to help me find "just the right" place for our new items.

    My goal for this project was to increase play in our Dramatic Play center and that is exactly what has happened! Not only has it created more conversation and socialization for my girls, but for my boys as well! I was so impressed with all the role playing happening in this center! My boys were being the "dad's" and they were doing a great job of taking care of our new babies. The girl's were busy in the kitchen cooking up some great meals! We truly appreciate your generosity. Thank you for enriching my student's preschool education experience.”

  • Construction Zone Ahead! Watch for Workers!

    Funded Sep 19, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generosity! I don't know who was more excited when our packages arrived, my students or me! It was like Christmas in our classroom. My afternoon class was there for the opening of the packages. My para and I couldn't get the hollow blocks out fast enough. When we opened the jumbo magnet blocks we all immediately started playing with them!

    We were learning about fairy tales when our packages arrived. This was perfect timing because we were able to use the new blocks to retell The Three Little Pigs and The Three Billygoats Gruff! It was such an awesome experience to see not only my four year olds but my three year olds reenact our stories. Great story comprehension skills and strengthening our fine/gross motor skills! I know they would not have been as engaged had we not had our new blocks! Thank you again for blessing us with your donations.”

Building with blocks will not only allow my students to use their imagination but will also strengthen their socialization skills. My student's struggle with social skills and when it comes to building and sharing blocks, my students will need to communicate their thoughts to their peers. My students will use blocks during center time. Being a play-based classroom, it is important for my students to have materials that encourage imaginative play. Block building will increase my students’ cognitive skills because they will have an opportunity to learn about shapes, positional words, and most importantly, for my special need students, social skills.
