  • Help My Students Get Much Needed Science And Math Supplies!

    Funded Nov 30, 2016

    Thank you so much for donating much needed math and science supplies to our Pre-K classroom! The children were so excited to receive the new learning supplies and began using them right away. The children have used the math and science materials at center time to freely explore concepts they are interested in and we have used them in small group lessons to learn through hands-on experiences. Having these essential materials has made it easier for children to understand concepts and it has helped them become more engaged in learning. We are so grateful for your generosity and kindness towards our classroom!”

    Our little Pre-K artists thank you from the bottom of their hearts! It has been non-stop art work in our class since we have received our new art supplies. The children were so excited when we received the art materials and have been using them every single day. We have quite a few Picasso's in our class. They have made drawings, collages, sculptures, murals, and paintings. We have used art to extend the academic learning in the class and the children love it!

    We are so grateful for your generous donation of a learning carpet to our Pre-K classroom! The children were so excited to receive the new rug! They have done many things on the rug since we received it such as learning, napping, playing, listening and reading stories on it. We have used the rug to learn about uppercase and lowercase letters, colors, shapes, and numbers 1-20. We use it many times throughout our daily routine. We absolutely love it! Thank you for being so kind and generous. We appreciate your contribution to our class!”

    Thank you so much for the tablets you donated you to make a Technology Center in our classroom! The children have timed sessions daily with the tablets. They absolutely love it! They enjoy using educational apps to help them understand important Pre-K concepts. They are becoming more proficient and independent using this technology each day.

  • Pre-K Chefs Need Materials to Learn Through Cooking!

    Funded Nov 4, 2015

    Thank you so much for donating cooking and planting supplies to our Pre-K class! Thanks to all of the cooking supplies you have donated, the children have been cooking often in our class and they really enjoy it! The process of following a recipe, measuring, mixing, adding ingredients, and observing the change that occurs when cooking teaches them important science, math, reading, and life skills. It is a fun and yummy way to learn important academic skills! The children have also learned about the importance of being life-long healthy eater. When the children plant with the planting supplies you have donated, they are able to observe the life cycle of the plants that we will eat. Cooking with healthy plants helps them to enjoy fruits, vegetables, and herbs and make these a part of their everyday diets. We are so grateful for your generosity! Thank you once again!”

  • Help Us Beat the Heat Please!

    Funded Sep 6, 2015

    Words can not express how grateful we are that you have donated a new air conditioner to our Pre-K classroom! It has been incredibly hot and we were relieved when we received the AC and we were able to cool off! Being cool means we can use our time, energy, and attention on learning in our class instead of sweating! The kids were so happy that they were finally able to cool off! Thank you for your incredible generosity and for caring about children many of you have never met. It is incredibly kind of you to care and give and we are so grateful! What a great example this is for the children who will remember this kind deed and one day pay it forward!”

  • Please Help My Pre-K Students Learn Through Photography!

    Funded Oct 7, 2013

    Thank you so much for donating a tough camera, photo books, ink, and photo paper to our Pre-K class so the children can learn through photography. Photography is such a powerful tool to be used in the classroom. It allows us to catch real moments that we want to remember and that can help us learn. My class is now making non-fiction books and memory books through photography and they absolutely love it! They will take the memory books home in June and they will be able to reflect on all they learned and did. They are also learning academic concepts while expressing themselves through an important art form. We are very grateful for your generosity! Thank you once again from our little Pre-K photographers!”

  • Please Help Us Get Art Supplies for Pre-K Artists!

    Funded Sep 25, 2013

    Thank you so much for donating art supplies and materials to our Pre-K classroom! The kids really love engaging in art activities on a daily basis. With our new art supplies, the children have experienced different types of art forms such as painting, dot art, mural art, collage, and drawing. They have used art to learn academic concepts such as math while exploring spatial relations, symmetry, and shapes. They also learned science by experimenting with different textures, mixing, and engaging in cause and effect. Most of all, the children are so happy!
