  • Help Us Capture Those Kindergarten Memories!

    Funded Dec 30, 2010

    Thank you for your donation to our classroom! The camera and photography materials you have purchased for our class has allowed the children to learn academics in a fun way! The children love to take pictures of our trips and learning activities. We look at the pictures and reflect on what we learned and how much fun we had learning. This allows so much language, learning, and socialization in our class. We also use our pictures to document scientific data and make books. The children can't wait to begin making our memory books and dvds that they can keep for a lifetime. The children are so happy to have the new materials you have donated to our class. Now all of the children will have their first school memories captured forever, all thanks to you! This is a precious gift you have given them and I'm sure they will be grateful later in life when they look back fondly on their childhood memories. We are very grateful for your generosity. Thank you once again for your support and donation to our classroom!”
