  • Inner City Kinder Kids Are Artists!

    Funded Oct 7, 2019

    Thank you so much for funding my art grant for my young students! My students were excited to see the boxes arrive with all the art supplies. We had only one easel so it was difficult for all my 26 students to get to paint in one day now we have 2 easels and everyone has the opportunity to paint. My students especially love the class set of markers! They love to use them everyday to sketch their own creations or to use them in completing their assignments. We have used the construction paper to make books and to work on take home projects at home. Thank you for helping my kinder kids get the resources they need to be ARTISTS!!!❤️👍🏽😀🎉”

  • Inner City Kinder Kids Love To Draw!

    Funded Dec 4, 2012

    My students and I would like to thank you for your generous donations! We were so excited to see all the boxes with my name. My students were thrilled, it was like Christmas! I unpacked each box and showed them all the wonderful art supplies. These resources have been used on a daily basis. My students use the markers, crayons and drawing paper to draw animals, people and places as part of our science and social studies units. It is wonderful to see their enthusiasm! We used the cardstock to create flash cards that students took home to practice alphabet letters & sounds and books in class. The paper towels were used on a daily basis to help clean up after our art activities and science activities. We also used the roll of white butcher paper for graphic organizers, charts and art projects.

    Your generous donations have helped my students experience art on a daily basis in every subject area.

    Thank You for helping children & public schools!!!”

  • Kinder Kids Love Art!

    Funded Dec 31, 2012

    My students and I want to thank you so much for your generous donations ! My students were all happy and surprised when the boxes arrived. I unpacked them one by one as they watched with glee. We used the construction paper to create books, mother's and father's day cards and end of unit books. We used the collage beads to create dream catchers and also used them for fine motor activities on a daily basis. My students used the twistable crayons for their illustrations and drawings. The playdough was a favorite resource to create letters & sculptures which also helped my young students strengthen their fine motor muscles . All these resources have helped my students love school & learning everyday.

    Your donations have helped provide my students with the resources to create works of art on a daily basis. I feel that using visual art activities provide at-risk children with the opportunities to experience success and raise their self-esteem. Thank You for supporting public schools!”

  • Inner City Kinder Kids are Eager to Read & Write!

    Funded Jan 22, 2012

    Thank You so much for helping fund my project! Due to the budget cuts to education, my school is unable to fund extra essential resources for my students. My students and I appreciate your generosity in helping public schools.

    We used the magic boards to practice dictation, writing words and sentences on a daily basis. These magic boards helped us use less paper to save our planet. The ABC trace letters, ABC maze, teaching tubs and highlighting tape were part of our literacy centers and helped my student's learn about letter sounds and recognize the alphabet. My students enjoyed using the write and wipe boards to practice their sight words and practice their writing skills .

    All the extra resources helped my students end the year as successful readers and writers! Thanks again for you generosity!”

    Mrs. A. Martinez

  • Inner City Kids Need Books!

    Funded Jan 31, 2012

    Thank You all for helping fund my donorschoose grant! Due to the budget cuts to education, my school does not have the funds to provide extra resources and/or books for my students.

    These books were amazing! My students loved the Dr. Seuss books! They were the favorite books to read in our class library. The Dr. Seuss books helped my students learn about rhyming words and they enjoyed listening to the books being read aloud. The books on water helped supplement our science unit on water. They had beautiful vivid photographs that helped my students learn how water is an important resource that we need to conserve. The books on plants were part of our unit on plants, these books helped them learn about how plants grow and how we can grow our own fruits and vegetables.

    Your generous donation helped my students learn how to read and developed their love for reading. Thank you for helping public schools, your donations enabled my students to have the resources they need to be successful in school.”
