    I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the generous donations of fine motor, sensory, and science-related supplies. Your contributions are deeply appreciated and will significantly impact my student's educational journey in kindergarten.

Your support helps create an enriching environment where students can explore, discover, and grow.

  • Take a Look, It's in a Book!

    Funded Nov 9, 2023

    Thank you so much for all of the incredible and magical books! All of the books have already been read through, loved, and added to our library. The children were so excited when the boxes of books started showing up in our room. There have been so many connections and discoveries made. I allowed the children to look through all of the books as they came in and the language and vocabulary I was hearing around new learning, questions, and just pure joy was amazing! Every day the students can visit our library and they constantly pick out our new books and are reading with friends or reading to themselves. It is such a joy to have so many science-related books that children are interested in. Overall, our classroom is so excited and thankful to have these amazing books!”

  • Fueling Up Learning

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    Thank you so much for your kind and generous donations. They mean the world to my students and me. Having snack time for my students allows them to continue learning throughout the day and for some, it helps bridge the gap when they go home and may not get dinner.

    When my students first saw all the snacks and food that we had received they screamed with excitement! It was so much fun for them to get to pick different food each day and to have a variety of healthy things for them to eat. It is such a difference when they are able to have a full belly and feel their best self. I know I'm not in the mood to learn or do much when I'm hungry so I can only imagine what it's like for them!

    This food has truly nourished their bodies and minds and I am forever grateful for that.”

  • A Sense of Place

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    We love our fireplace!! I added group photos from our different experiences throughout the year and my students and I love looking at them and remembering the fun times we have had. It's also been a great place to read in front of and really brings a sense of home to our classroom.

    When the box first came upstairs to our classroom the children were so excited to open it, especially since it was taller than most of them! The fireplace found a home right away in our room and has made the room feel so cozy and calm. I added a fake fire made out of fabric and the children love to pretend to warm their hands or sit close to stay warm.

    This piece of furniture has made a wonderful addition to our room and really brings a sense of calm and home into our room. I am so grateful for the donation that made this project possible and to be able to provide such a unique piece of furniture in my classroom for my students.”

  • Wild About School

    Funded Sep 24, 2021

    Thank you so much for donating to this project.

    My students have loved using all of the new materials! Students have been so creative in the block area with the addition of the new trees and animals. They love making zoos and new habitats for different animals. Some have even made farms or big backyards for their pets. It's been really great to hear their vocabulary expanding and play enriching from the addition of these materials.

    The sensory seashells have made a great addition to the sensory table. The students love discovering the different sounds and textures. The kwiki sticks have been used in several art projects and the students have loved using them as an addition to their artwork. It makes it very accessible to all learners and really adds a great punch of color to their artwork. The messy mats have really helped contain our mess and make clean-up a breeze! We are so grateful for all of our new supplies and have been putting them all to good use!

    Thank you again for all of your kind donations.”

My students are kinder- investigators who look at their world with a magnificently bright view. Their curiosity stems from a song about leaves falling off trees to tiny pebbles they find on the side walk. They are an ever-flowing stream of intriguing thoughts and questions that ignite the power of learning. They are an incredibly expressive bunch who come to me with drawings, words, models, and specimens of their learning. A truly marvelous sight to see, feel and experience. They are a part of a south side neighborhood in Chicago that is challenged daily with educational inequality and high risk situations. Despite these challenges our school is on a powerful mission to create transformational change and to redesign the life trajectory of its students. It's a big task at hand, however, with the power of community, strength and hope I am confident we will see our students succeed.
