  • Cultivating Creativity!

    Funded Dec 15, 2021

    Thank You so much for all the tremendous genericity shown to my students. They have been creating works of art that are simply out of this world. They are so creative and have been working daily to create more and more. They especially enjoyed the kwik sticks! They are paint, but used more like a glue stick. They are easy for our students to use and dry so quickly.

    They have also enjoyed the other art materials that we ordered. I cannot wait to see what other works of art they create! Their families have also seen an impact in their creativity at home as well.”

  • Exploring My World!

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    My students have had a tremendous amount of fun, laughter, and countless smiles since receiving these materials. They have been counting and sorting bugs by color. They have been making patterns with math links. They have been painting and making masterpieces of huge proportions! They have even enjoyed using our new microscope to investigate and explore tons of nature items. We wish we could hug each and every one of you for your amazingly wonderful generosity! It is with the love of such sweet hearts like yours that my students get to experience things like this.”

  • Music of the Heart

    Funded Oct 12, 2021

    My students have really enjoyed all of the new and unique musical instruments! Since the box of materials arrived here at school their love of music has come alive. Our classroom music area was always ignored. Pretend and Blocks were usually our favorite centers chosen. However, since enriching our music area, my students have been rushing to be the first to "sig-in" to the music area.

    They have enjoyed playing the drums, shaking the maracas from Ghana, striking the guiro from Mexico, and even dancing with the colorful scarves as their classmates play the glockenspiel. They are even discussing how they can form parades and concerts for their fellow classmates.

    Simple words can not express the thanks we feel from your generosity!”

  • We're Going to Need a Bigger Boat!

    Funded Aug 9, 2019

    Without your extreme generosity we would have never been able to provide our students with the supplies and materials they needed. Not only, did you provide them with a few fine motor materials that they were in desperate need of, but you also provided them with a shelf to place it on within the classroom. It is important how we arrange our classroom environments. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but it also helps aid in the learning process. Thank You so much for your donations to this project. It will help students in years to come as well.”

  • On Fire for Learning!

    Funded Apr 12, 2019

    Each day our students were able to use the kindle fires for hands on technology. They played age appropriate games, viewed age appropriate videos, and learned massive amounts of fun new information. Thank you soo much for your donations to this project. Most of these students would never have the opportunity to use this type of technology at home. I had one student who said "This is the best game ever." While I had another that learned ALL of their colors by playing a matching game app. This would never have been possible without the generosity of our donors.”

All of my students come from low to no income homes. With Head Start being a non-profit organization, it can be difficult to obtain new materials to help cultivate curiosity and the love for learning that I try to encourage in my classroom. Bristle blocks, connecting gears, and button sorting are important because they will significantly increase my student’s ability to develop fine motor skills. When these skills are developed my students will be able to master important tasks such as writing, feeding oneself, buttoning and zippering more independently. These abilities gradually develop through experience and exposure to a variety of toys and materials. Real life science materials such as insect specimens, a microscope, and water beads will help my students become more excited about exploring the world around them as well as introducing them to insects and animals they may never see in our locality. This aids in the learning process by allowing the student to explore the knowledge independently as well as providing repetition. Learning materials, regardless of what kind, all have some function in student learning.
