  • Kindergarteners Raising Money for a Listening Center and Seat Sacks!

    Funded Jan 19, 2017

    We are extremely grateful for the donations towards the seat sacks and headphones. The seat sacks have been an excellent tool for the students to become more independent and develop self-autonomy. They are now responsible for organizing their own notebooks and pencils. This may seem like a small feat but for kinderg�rtners it creates a great sense of pride in being able to take care of their own work without the assistance of an adult.

    The headphones have allowed us to finally set up our listening center! Our little ones are beyond excited when they get to use the listening center. We have set up a ton of reading, phonics, and math applications for the students to use on the iPads.

    The next steps for our classroom is to have sensory tools readily available to the students. I teach ICT class with many students that have sensory integration disorder. They require various calming/sensory equipment in order to remain focused and on task. Please forward my link if you know anyone that is interest in supporting my next sensory equipment project!”

  • Sensory Gym For Students with ASD and Sensory Integration Disorder

    Funded Aug 25, 2016

    Thank you so much for the donations to make our sensory/reading corner. The students absolutely love the bean bags and tee-pee. They were so thrilled when they saw them in the classroom. The bean bags and tee-pee create a more warm and cozy ambiance during reading workshop. This helps children to associate reading as a fun activity and instills a love for reading at a young age.

    The tee-pee and sensory suit are also great calming aids for students with sensory integration disorder. Some of our students can become easily overwhelmed and need strategies to soothe their anxiety. The tee-pee is an excellent private space where a child can retreat to when they become emotionally disregulated.

    I want to thank you again for helping to make our classroom a warm, and comfortable space for all learners!”

    Ms. Hale

  • Reading Workshop Materials Needed!

    Funded Nov 19, 2015

    We are beyond grateful for your generous donations! It is really amazing and heart-warming to see how supportive and caring people can be. You are really making a positive impact on their kindergarten experience through your generosity. Your sweet, kindhearted little kinderg�rtner will be especially excited to have her own personal book bin - she is a very organized 5 year old!

    We are also very excited to receive the book bins and reading tools. The supplies will really help foster their independence during reading workshop, and provides the tools necessary to decode and begin reading on their own. We are really so blown away by the kindness and support we have been provided. Keep on being such kind and amazing people - makes the world a better place!

    The book bins have given our little readers the opportunity to become independent readers. Each student has their own book bin. This gives them a sense of ownership and pride in their reading and encourages organization skills. ”
