• Magnetic Letters for Kindergarten!

  Funded May 22, 2024

  On behalf of my kindergarten class, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of magnetic letters, whiteboards, and the CVC word game. These supplies have already made a significant impact in our classroom.

  The magnetic letters are a fantastic tool for helping our young learners grasp the basics of phonics and spelling. The know the children will be so excited to use them during our literacy centers.

  The whiteboards will also bring a new level of engagement to our lessons. The kids will love having their own space to practice writing letters, words, and even simple sentences.

  The CVC word locks turn learning into a fun and interactive experience, allowing the children to practice their reading skills in a playful and supportive environment. This tool will help improve their reading abilities as well as a sense of fun!

  Your thoughtful contributions have enriched our learning environment and provided the children with resources that support their educational journey. We are truly grateful for your kindness and support.

  Thank you once again for your generosity. Your investment in our classroom is making a real difference in the lives of these young learners.”

• Mobile Media Cart for Kindergarten

  Funded Sep 6, 2023

  On behalf of our kindergarten class, we are so thankful and grateful for your generosity! We are incredibly happy to have received the mobile media cart for our kindergarten classroom! The mobile media cart has made such a difference in the way that we access technology in the classroom, because it gives us a space to put a projector, speaker, and computer in a way that is effective and efficient.

  We are also able to roll the mobile media cart back and forth as needed, keep it stationary, or move it out of the way to create space. The mobile media cart has become an invaluable tool for our classroom! Thank you, thank you!”

• Let's Organize Our Books!

  Funded Aug 3, 2023

  My kindergarten students are so wonderful because of their curiosity, love of learning, and excitement for school. Now that we have a sturdy, mobile bookstand, my students have easier access to more wonderful books while they read in our classroom library. This color-coded bookstand has allowed my kindergarten students to be able to reach hundreds of books, as well as have the ability to store the books in an organized way. Not only does mobile bookstand encourage a love of reading, but it also helps my students become more organized when putting the books away. We are so grateful to you and your generous donations to our classroom.”

• Calming Area

  Funded Jan 4, 2023

  Thanks to your generosity, my students now have a calming place to draw, color, and write. Sometimes my kindergarten students need a moment to regulate their emotions and one of the best ways for them to express themselves is through drawing. Students know that they have a safe place in the classroom to express themselves, and that they're welcome to use that place in our classroom when they're having big feelings. The new writing table has been such a wonderful addition to our kindergarten classroom.”

• Kindergarten Whiteboard Easel

  Funded Aug 9, 2022

  We can't thank you enough for your generous donation to our kindergarten classroom.

  The new easel has become an essential part of our learning each day! We use the easel to practice letter formation, to sound out words, to read stories, to go over math lessons, etc. Its uses are endless!

  The students love to come up to the easel to demonstrate their skills as well. It makes them feel proud to come up to the front of the classroom to demonstrate a math problem, or practice reading a sight word.

• Little Artists’ Drying Rack

  Funded Apr 7, 2022

  Thanks to your generosity, we now have a place to put our drying works of art! For years, we've been spreading our students' gluey or painted projects all over any and every surface we could find, but thanks to you, we have a beautiful, compact, and extremely useful place to put our drying arts and crafts! We put the drying rack to good use right away in preparation of this year's Open House. We made painted caterpillars out of paper plates, and colorful butterflies. With 48 students, we definitely utilized the drying rack and will continue to do so for years to come. Thanks again!”

• Kindergarten Backpack Storage

  Funded Jan 17, 2022

  When my students first saw the new backpack cart, they were so excited! They couldn't wait to hang up their things!

  This cart has become the greatest organizational piece in our classroom because the students have their own special place for their backpacks, their water bottles, and their jackets.

  The backpack cart has made such a huge impact in our classroom. We have so much more space, so many fewer tripping hazards, and way less water bottle spills!

  I don't know how we've done without this cart for so long. It's an essential furniture item in our kindergarten classroom!”

• Kindergarten Organization Station

  Funded Aug 30, 2021

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to our, "Kindergarten Organization Station" project. Thanks to your kindness, my students have a way to organize their classwork, projects, and school-to-home communications.

  Our new organization station serves an essential role in our classroom. Because my students switch classrooms from week to week, it's important for them to have an organized way to keep track of all their papers.

  The new "Kindergarten Organization Station," fosters independence and personal responsibility, which are valuable skills for kindergarten students to practice and learn as they begin their journey in school.”
