Thank you so much for donating to this project. Supporting my students in developing their fine motor skills is very important to me. I know that once they get to kindergarten they will be expected to write throughout the day.
We have started practicing how to write our names and the kids are making great progress. Having these materials has allowed me to create fun learning stations that support the development of fine motor skills. The kids think are having a great time and getting stronger by the day.”
The Dramatic Play center has always been very popular but now it is so popular that I have had to implement a waitlist and a visual timer. The appliances are amazing. The kids love brewing and serving coffee! The microwave is very cool and makes amazing sounds. It is so realistic. It is so wonderful to watch the kids engaging with these new materials. The new vests represent so many different occupations. The kids have been lining up to use each one.
The vet center is a HUGE hit. I see some future veterinarians in the classroom. I can not thank you enough for donating to this project. You have brought so much joy to my classroom.”
Thank you so much for donating to my project and giving the Art Center some new and exciting items.
The trays have been an excellent addition to the classroom. The prevent items from rolling all around the room. Little hands need some help keeping items contained and these trays do an amazing job.
The palm painters are so much fun and give the students much better control then using a paintbrush.
We can not wait to use rock painting set. We plan on decorating our playground garden in the Spring.”
This center has been put back together! It is the most popular center in the classroom at the moment. The new puzzles and STEM toys have been keeping my Pre-K friends very busy. They have been exploring and creating so many fantastic structures.
As you will see in the photographs this center has actually spread out across several tables so that everyone has the chance to use these amazing new materials. Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and providing my students with these items. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for making a difference in the learning of my wonderful students.”
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for donating to my project to refresh the Science Center in my Pre-K classroom. The items that this project provided have given me the opportunity to rotate items and activities in and out of the Science Center which makes a visit there exciting. The kids have love exploring the new magnets and the themed cans from Lakeshore Learning. They have especially enjoyed the sound activities. I can't wait for them to explore them all. Your donation has made 18 Pre-K students very happy and for that I can not thank you enough.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Bayer
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community & an Anonymous Partner and 5 other donors.
The materials that this project gave to our classroom have made a huge difference in the organization of the classroom. The bins have provided labeled spaces for many items in the Dramatic Play Center. This has helped to keep the materials organized and allows the students to independently clean up and put everything back in its place before the next group of students visits.
The cart has made it very easy for students to find their pictures for centers and gives them a place to put their artwork to bring home.
The library has been receiving a ton of visitors thanks to the brand new comfy couch!
The easel center is a big hit in the classroom. We have created a gallery wall to display each students artwork for a period of time before sharing them with their families. I have taught the students to name their pieces and write the title and date on each one. They are really amazing artists. It is amazing how providing a dedicated place in the classroom has increased the visits to the art area tremendously. The large paper that I ordered provides each student with enough space to create their own original pieces without needing to squeeze it onto a sheet of regular sized paper. Thank you for giving my students the priceless gift of art!”
Thank you so much for donating to this project. The rug is truly the center of the classroom. It is where we have our morning meetings, read stories together, sing and dance. Having this new rug provides each student with their own circle. This has helped to reinforce teaching about personal space. Everyone has their very own colorful spot to sit on.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Without donors like you I would not have been able to obtain such a beautiful carpet. I send you a big giant thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
I have been teaching for 16 years at the same school which happens to be in the neighborhood I grew up in. I love teaching and I am always looking for new ways to improve myself as an educator. I really enjoy previous students coming back to tell me all about their lives.
