More Than Just a Rug!
Funded Aug 26, 2019Thank you so much for providing for my pre-k students. The students were so excited when we unrolled our new rug! The students said "We absolutely love it"!
It made such a difference in our classroom. We are able to play learning games with our awesome carpet. We can easily identify our own letter/or number that we sit on.
When we learn together in large group we can quickly gather in a circle by sitting on the numbers. My teacher loves it too! Also the car rug is great! All of the students like to play with it! Thank you! You are awesome!”

Funded Aug 26, 2019Thank you so much for your donations that made my project possible. The students love the activities that your donations provided! The manipulatives have allowed the students to sort by color and by size. The magnifying glasses and paints were a huge hit. Now with our new paint containers and paint holder, the students are able to access all of the colors and are able to show responsibility to return the paint neatly and independently for the next artist. Thank you for making my dream a reality.”

Funded Aug 15, 2019Our class is so excited about the addition of our listening center and CD player to our classroom. The students enjoy sitting together with their friends while they share the books, take turns turning the pages, and listen to the entertaining stories. We like that the headphones have individual volume controls, this allows my hearing impaired students to adjust the volume to meet their needs.
The variety of stories that came with our 'Listen and Learn' project are engaging for all of our students! I was already so excited to teach my VPK class this year, your provision to provide these enhancements to our educational environment are like icing on the cake! Thank you so much!”

Funded Apr 19, 2019Thank you for your support of my VPK blended-handicap classroom and students! We are so thankful for your kindness of making our "Quality Learning Tools" project come to life! The students loved opening our packages! The looks on their happy faces were wonderful! They especially love the puppets and learning games! The "Learning to Get Along" book set will impact my students greatly as the listen and learn about taking turns, cooling down, work it out , and respect others lessons. The learning games and activities are amazing! The students love center time, and now they will love it even more as they enjoy quality learning tools! Thank you so much!”

Funded Apr 23, 2019Thank you so much for your contributions to complete my "Start to Art" Project! Without you and your caring heart, this hope would have not been fulfilled. Thank you for making such a difference for my classroom and students!
There were only 2 items in this project, but this project is huge! The students were so surprised to see our "Start to Art" project arrive! The Circle Time Interactive Mat is amazing! They are going to love using it daily! When we opened the paint container holder, the students did not know what it was. We talked about how convenient it would be to have all of our paints in one container. Before we got our paint holder, my assistants would take one paint cup out at a time from the cabinet, then the students would choose their color choice. Now, the students can see 10 colors at a time! How wonderful! Thank you so much for being so amazing and supportive of my classroom!”

Funded Dec 6, 2018If I could use just one word to describe my student's excitement over receiving our Power-Up With Learning! Donors Choose materials, it would be "Amazement." The children were so surprised to see the many different instant learning centers for Math and Science. We are all so thankful!
Finally, we have learning materials that our geared to my students age level and interests. When I shared with my students and reminded them that donations from people who care brought us these materials, they wanted to know who the people were. I shared your names and we said "Thank you" out loud to each of you.
After opening the "Counting" Center, the children saw the large bag of ants and couldn't wait to get started with the learning fun! I would love to add Instant Literacy Centers to our learning tools. Please check back and keep in touch with our learning! Thank you for making a difference that will impact lifetimes!”

Funded Aug 29, 2018The Shine-A-Light Project funded by you has truly enhanced learning in our classroom. The publications from Scholastic's My Big World has helped our students to connect with our world by learning vocabulary and gaining a hands-on visual of our learning topics. In addition to putting learning into the hands of my students, we've also gained access to online materials that further increase learning.
For instance, this week we are learning about community helpers, our new readers that we received showed us close up visuals of helpers in our community. The children were excited to see a police officer, a firefighter, a postal carrier, and a garbage handler. Along with the visuals and vocabulary, the readers offer a fun activity where the children identify and color shapes. This resource is perfect for our VPK class of 4 year olds.
The students love the array of student centered online videos that are included in the Big World program. Also I am able to have the entire class active as we play the interactive learning games on our big screen. We are so thankful to be able to access this extended learning that is only possible because of you! I can't wait to hear from my students tomorrow as they share their experience with bringing home their first Big World Newspaper!😊”
