  • Tables of Fun, Part III

    Funded Jun 24, 2025

    Thank you for supporting our project Tables of Fun, Part III. This project is the final of the grop of three to bring the perfect sized tables for my children. The students will have tables that are conducive to group activities and partner work, which we do so much of in our class. We couldn't have fulfilled this project without your donations and support.

    On behalf of my children and myself, thank you for helping us achieving this dream.”

  • Let's Keep Our Lights Shining

    Funded Oct 26, 2024

    Your support made it possible for us to shine the light in our classroom again. The new light up table topper is amazing. It has inspired so many children to explore letters, sight words and numbers while it's in use. Some children aren't as excited to work with letters and numbers in the traditional way, but seeing the light through them has been so exciting.

    It is so inspiring to know so many people are invested in education, even if you do not have a personal connection to our class. Each and every donor is important to us.

    Thank you for your encouragement and support.”

  • Counting Our Way Through Math

    Funded Oct 6, 2022

    The children absolutelly love the new ten frame paddles with magnetic counters. They are able to hold the paddles up so the other children and I are able to see how they solved a problem. In the past, they were unable to hold up their ten frames so the class could see their work. Now, the counters are securely magnetized to the ten frame paddles so we can all see their work as they explain how they solve the problem.

    We are so appreciative of the donations made for these materials. Thank you for helping put these wonderful resources in the hands of my students.”

  • Tables of Fun, Part 3

    Funded Aug 10, 2022

    Donors Choose has provided our class with so many much needed items over the years, including kindergarten appropriate tables for small group activities. We only needed one more table to complete our dream of having 4 small tables for centers and small group sharing. With your generous donations, we have all of the tables we need. The children are able to work together on activities, math lessons, art projects and almost anything. With the small tables, instead of large, rectangular tables, the children are able to easily share materials, manipulatives and books.

    Thank you for helping us reach this goal.”

  • Let's See Those Books!!

    Funded Aug 10, 2022

    You have helped inspire a new generation of readers by giving us our new, age appropriate bookshelf. The children love sitting at a bookshelf that is the right height for them as they choose books to read. It's easy for them to share books since they are now able to sit next to each other, instead of on opposite sides of a very large round bookshelf.

    The children are now excited to go to the book corner and choose books to read since they can see what's on the shelf.

    This dream is made possible because of the generosity of those who donated to our project.”

  • Magnetizing Our Learning

    Funded Mar 1, 2022

    As we begin this new year with new magnetic shapes and letters, as well as tactile bubble letters for our light up board, these materials really helping our young tactile learners. Children need to be able to put their hands on things to help them really understand things, which means this new materials are perfect. They are able to put them on the light up table, match letters with the magnetic ones and trace bubble letters, each with the light shining through to help them really recognize the letters.

    These materials would not be in the hands of these children without your help and support. For that, we are truly thankful.”

  • Lighting Up our Letters

    Funded Nov 30, 2021

    The children are having a wonderful time forming letters with the Translucent Letter Builders. After forming letters, they are then combining the letters to make words. When the light is below the letters, it is a super exciting way to form letters and words.

    The Light Table Sensory Tray is perfect for holding our huge bag of translucent beads. The beds have been used in smaller amounts in small tubs. Now, with the large tray designed for our light up table, the children are able to utilize the entire light up table. They use plastic or magnetic letters hidden the beads to form words, put letters in ABC order and sometimes, it's just fun to dig in the beads.

    Thank you for helping us light up our letters. We are having an amazing time spelling words in this unique, exciting way. We couldn't have reached this goal without your help.”

  • Let's Learn to Read at the Listening Center, Part 2

    Funded Aug 14, 2021

    The new book and cd sets for our listening center have been a wonderful addition to our language arts centers. The children love hearing the stories and being able to follow along in the books. They are learning to track print from left to right, match the written word to the spoken word, both of which are important pre-reading skills.

    We were able to receive so many book and cd sets through your generous donations. Without your generosity, we wouldn't have nearly as many books and cds to use in our listening center.

    Thank you for your support of my students.”

  • Comfy Kinders

    Funded May 4, 2021

    The ottomons and stools are already being used in our classroom. The stools are wonderful additions to our small group learning time. The children are able to sit a little higher around the table, which makes it easirer for them to reach their learning materials, during small group.

    The ottomans are making our book corner and light up table centers so much more comfortable. The children are able to easily move the ottomons as needed to sit with a friend at the book corner, as well as move to reach materials on the light up table.

    Thank you for your generosity in helping bring these wonderful resources to my students.”

  • Writing Around the Room

    Funded May 14, 2021

    The children are so excited to have the Learn Store Chart Stand. In just the first month of school, they've used it to put letter magnets in alphabetical order and dry erase markers to practice writing letters correctly. It is a huge hit with the children!

    We've also been able to roll the chart stand around the room, which has been so helpful since the children don't have as much freedom to move around the room like in a non-covid year. Having the freedom to roll it to their centers has been such a big help, too.

    Thank you for helping make this wonderful chart stand such an important part of our classroom. We couldn't have done it without your generosity.”
