Add Color To Our Classroom With an EcoTank Printer.
Funded Dec 4, 2024In our classroom, the recent addition of the Eco tank printer, the weighted stuffed animal and the paper trays have transformed the way my students engage with learning. Now my students are enjoying their time playing with the weighted husky. They can now use the paper trays to pick their own supplies. My students tend to stay more on task and enjoy organizing the construction paper on the proper trays. The supplies that were generously donated have help my students foster a love for learning social and emotional goals with the use of the weighted husky stuffed animal.
When my students first saw the weighted husky stuffed animal, their reactions were priceless. Eyes widened in excitement, they rushed to play with the stuffed animal and helped organize the paper trays, their voices filled with curiosity as they asked questions. "Who got this?" one child exclaimed, while another said, "I love it!" Their enthusiasm was infectious, creating an atmosphere of eager anticipation for the fun play ahead.
As we continue to embarked on our school year, the students will be able to enjoy the wonderful donations. The printer has help me and my students print out their individual classroom schedules, activities and learning resources that have helped provide students to have equal opportunities to succeed. The weighted stuff animal toy has helped regulate their emotions which has helped with their social emotional growth.
Thanks to our generous donors, we now have the resources to inspire curiosity, social emotional learning and creativity in our classroom. Their contributions have not only enriched our current project but will also lay the groundwork for future students that will also benefit from them in the years to come. We are excited to continue our journey enjoying our new classroom supplies.”

Funded Sep 8, 2024The recent addition of EZ shade canopies in our classroom has significantly transformed how my students engage with outdoor learning. With these new canopies providing much-needed shade, my students are now enjoying their time outside more than ever. The shaded areas have created a comfortable environment for play, allowing the children to focus better and explore freely. This enhancement not only fosters a love for the outdoors but also promotes nature observation skills as they interact with their surroundings.
When my students first saw the canopies, their reactions were truly priceless. Their eyes widened in excitement as they rushed to play beneath the shade, voices filled with curiosity and delight. "Who got this?" one child exclaimed, while another chimed in, "I love it!" Their enthusiasm was contagious, setting the stage for a thrilling exploration ahead.
As we embarked on our outdoor adventures, the students embraced the possibilities of our school playground. The shade has encouraged them to engage in various activities, from imaginative play to group games, allowing them to enjoy the fresh air while remaining focused and energized. The canopies have not only made outdoor play more enjoyable but have also sparked their curiosity about the natural world around them.
Looking ahead, our next steps include creating a class project where students can document their observations of plants and animals in our playground. They will take turns sharing their findings, fostering communication skills and teamwork. This collaborative project will encourage deeper exploration and appreciation of nature, further enriching their learning experience.
Thanks to our generous donors, we now have the resources to inspire curiosity and creativity in our outdoor environment. Their contributions have not only enhanced our current outdoor experiences but will also pave the way for future explorations. We are excited to continue our journey of fun in the sun—safely shaded—and to discover the wonders of outdoor play together. The possibilities are endless, and we can't wait to see where our adventures will lead us!”
