  • Help Us Keep The Germs Away!

    Funded Jun 20, 2013

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donations to my class. The germ supplies aka hand soap and Clorox wipes have had a great impact on my students this year.

  • Making Math Come Alive!

    Funded Jul 28, 2013

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donation to my class. The magna tiles that you have donated to my classroom will assist my students in using their imagination and learning through play this year and will impact my students next year as well. These materials are essential in a Kindergarten classroom. Play permits a child to fit the reality of the world into their own interests and knowledge. Research shows that children who engage in complex forms of play have greater language skills than non-players, better social skills, more empathy, more imagination, and more of the subtle capacity to know what others mean. My students were overjoyed when saw the boxes of magna tiles. They are the number one choice during center time! Your gift is extremely appreciated and has been put to great use and will be used in years to come. Happy Holidays!”

  • Help Us Become Better Readers

    Funded Dec 31, 2012

    This is just a small token of my gratitude for your generous donations to my class. The listening center will have a great impact on my students this year. These materials are essential in a Kindergarten classroom and I did not have much. It is very important for me, as a kindergarten teacher, to provide my students with a variety of engaging activities to practice early reading. This is the first experience these students have in their education. This listening center will help to develop language skills and a love for reading. Children need to be read to, and with this listening center I am able to make sure each child receives good quality literature to help develop their vocabulary. My students use and will continue to use the materials daily. My students were overjoyed when they saw all of the materials. Your gift is extremely appreciated and has been put to great use. Thank you!!!”
