Ride On! Pt. 2
Funded Nov 10, 2018Thank you so much for donating to our DonorsChoose! Our very favorite part of the day is now recess! We love our little tricycles and our toddlers sized helmets. We feel safer with helmets that fit! We love racing each other down the big basketball court on our tricycles.
We can already see how much better our leg muscles are doing! We have been working them every day, our coordination is doing much better as well!! We greatly appreciate your generosity! Thank you for helping buy things for our classroom!”

Let's Get to Cooking!
Funded Nov 6, 2018Thank you so much for your generous donation! We were so excited when our kitchen and cooking utensils arrived! We put our kitchen together immediately, and our kids were very impatient while Mrs. Myers and myself assembled it! (However; I'm not sure who was more excited about it, the kids or myself!) We love baking cookies and decorating them. We love using our mixer and baking cakes. We especially love getting ice out of the ice maker! We thank you so much for helping us get a kitchen for our classroom, we can't wait to use it for this year and for years to come!”

We Love To Write
Funded Aug 22, 2018Thank You so much for your generous donation. We love making class books. It was a chore to go down to the workroom, and lug the huge book binder down to our room. With our new book binder, it makes mere seconds to bind our books. Because it is so easy, we can make more classroom books. We have made assessment books, we have made name books, and we have made art work books. I can't wait to see what creativity that we can come up with next. Without your generosity we would still be using the old system!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 4 other donors.Little Dolls for Little Hands
Funded Aug 7, 2018Thank you so much for generously giving to our Doll House project! We are loving the doll house with the dolls. The dolls are perfect for our little hands. The doll house and the furniture are perfect too! I love to hear them talk while they are playing! The dolls are three different ethnicities and people who are differently abled. The furniture is soft and plush. It took us a while to figure out why my kids kept on saying "it's on fire!" The fireplace is a popular prop in the doll house! Thank You Again!”

We Love Our Library
Funded Jul 26, 2018We greatly appreciate your generous donation. Our classroom library is now complete with our beautiful bookcase. Everyday I have friends who are dying to go to the library. They all want a turn to read. It is perfect for our Wee Littles. It isn't too big, so we can reach the top shelf. It is just big enough that we can fit all our books onto the shelves. Thank you again for your support. Our classroom runs on the love we feel from all of our friends who help purchase the things we need for our room!”

Ride On!
Funded Oct 14, 2018Thank You so much for your generous support! Our kids are in love with our tricycles. They beg me every day to take them out during recess. We currently have 4 tricycles, but eventually would like to have an entire fleet to take to the park! I can already see an increase in their gross motor skills, and have two friends who have already learned how to ride them! We could not do everything we do in our classrooms, with our your support. Thank you for having a vested interest in the Wee Littles! We thank you!”

Let's Get to Learning
Funded Mar 27, 2018Thank you so much for your generous donation! My students love our new easel. It has made my teaching so much easier! The dry erase board is clean and easy to use and erase. The easel also holds two pocket charts, so I can keep two activities up at once, and don't have to take down and put up multiple times a day. The easel also has tremendous storage for all my teaching tools, when they are in a easy to reach location, it cuts down on transitions and down time. Again, thank you so much for thinking of my students and myself. We appreciate it!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Ripple and 6 other donors.Splish-Splashing in PreK
Funded Jan 25, 2018Our students are loving the new water and sand table! In the few short months we have had the table, it has been many different things. The students have investigated water and tubes and funnels. They have used it as a table for the Weather Station in our "News Room". Currently, our sand and water table has dirt, gardening tools, flowers and flower pots. The students will be surprised tomorrow, when they find that there have been some creepy crawlies added to the table, we will be adding worms and magnifying glasses! Thank you so much for your generous support, we appreciate it!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The First Million Fund and 7 other donors.Give Us a Hand!
Funded Oct 31, 2017Thank you so much for your generous donation! Our class is ecstatic about all the new tools that we have in our classroom! They beg me each day to get out the Code-A-Pillar! It is our new favorite center in our room. I love watching their brains work as they are building the foundation of higher level thinking!
The sand and water tools are a big hit as well! Our new sensory table is set to arrive any day now, and I know they will be over the moon about being able to use the tools on a daily basis, and not just when we get the little sand and water tubs out.
Also, Mrs. Hoffer and Mrs. Mac greatly appreciate the cafeteria trays! It has improved the "mess" that comes with working on the floor!
Again, Thank you so much for supporting our classroom!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Omidyar Network and 5 other donors."Let's Find Out" About Our World
Funded Sep 26, 2017I vividly remember getting Weekly Reader when I was in Elementary School. It was my favorite part of the week! So when I found out I could request "Let's Find Out" for my littles I was over the moon excited. They love it when we pull our reader up on the smartboard!
We love learning about what we are studying that week. So far we have read about Apple Trees, Firefighters, Veterans, Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians. We can't wait to see what else we learn about this year! We get to listen to stories about the topic, and then we can play a game on the SmartBoard and watch a short video too!”
