  • Mirrors for Kids

    Funded Oct 31, 2024

    My students have been using these mirrors during our daily morning socio-emotional check in time. They smile every time they see their own images in the mirrors. It is a joyful time for all of us. They also used the mirrors to draw self portraits. They looked at themselves closely and discovered the unique and special shapes of their eyebrows, lips, ears, etc. They were so amazed to see and discover their eye color.

    These mirrors have given my students an opportunity to discover so much about themselves, both physically and emotionally. Thank you for your kind and generous donations!”

  • Art with Acrylic Markers

    Funded Aug 15, 2024

    My class has been busy creating art projects that have encouraged their self-expression. The use of these acrylic markers has opened up doors to discovering that art can be created on different canvases. They were marveled to see the outcome of their projects.

    Thank you for your support! None of my students had used acrylic markers before. They were very impressed with how bright and sparkly some of the colors were. They also showed so much excitement in how precise their strokes of paint were since the tips of these markers are much finer than most paint brushes. They thank you for your kindness and generosity.

    Please know that you provided them with an unforgettable experience!”

  • Composting Materials Needed!

    Funded Jan 30, 2024

    I'm happy to share that the composting materials we requested have been put to good use at our school. Students have become experts at composting the organic waste that they collect themselves after lunch. They carefully select items that can be put into our composting bin. These fruit and vegetable scraps would normally end up in the trash. They also collect leaves and sticks that have fallen from trees at school and add them to the composting pile. We are now waiting for decomposers to do their part and turn these scraps into fertilizing material that will be added to our school gardens.

    This project has awaken my students' interest about nature. As expected, they are making numerous science and math connections and developing a deep understanding about the importance of protecting our planet. Thank you for making this possible!”

  • Please Give My Students a New Classroom Rug!

    Funded Oct 24, 2022

    I would like to thank you for your kind and generous donations that made it possible for our classroom to receive a brand new rug. We have been utilizing it consistently since we received it. This area is our daily meeting place during instructional time when I teach students daily lessons in all academic topics. This meeting place helps students focus on their new learning. It is also conducive for students to have partner and group discussions.

    Students were surprised and elated when they saw it. Their expressions on the first day it arrived were, "It's so clean!" "It's so bright!" "It's beautiful!" My students wanted to let you know that they will take care of their new rug. Thank you for making their educational experience better. It's what they deserve.”

    Mrs. Argumedo

I teach a group of 24 second graders. They believe that they are "readers" and take that role very seriously. They love books! My students attend a public school in a large school district that has cut funding to schools year after year. My school is unable to fund the purchase many resources. Please help my students have access to materials they need. Your support will make a huge difference.
