    I am so greatful and overjoyed that you chosen to fund this project for my students. Remote Learning is not only a new experience for all of us but a difficult one for our youngest learners.

The knowledge that my students will gain as a result of the resources that will be provided is priceless. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

  • Classroom Connections

    Funded Aug 23, 2018

    The new resources have provided opportunities for my students to become more imaginative in their exploration through play. The students were so excited to hear that there were new materials in the classroom. As the materials were being introduced in each interest area, the students were in awe. They were curious to know how the items work and how they fit in with the materials that we already have.

    The students helped to create rules for how to take care of the materials so that they will last. They were very curious and asked who purchased them. I told them that some very nice people donated money to the classroom so that we could buy nice resources to replace the ones that were old and worn out. My students were very excited to create their thank you notes to show their appreciation for their new materials.

    I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring enough to give selflessly so that my students could have good quality developmentally appropriately learning materials in their classroom community for the enhancement of their learning experiences.”

I am a Head Start teacher in a public school that serves inner city students. My classroom consists of 20 students ages 4-5 years old. As a classroom teacher it is necessary for me to create an environment that is conducive to the uniqueness of each child. I accomplish this by creating a classroom community that teaches students to be Thinkers, Communicators, Risk Takers, Caring, Open Minded and principled. I teach my students how to be empathetic towards each other and appreciate the diversity within our classroom community. Equipping my classroom with hands on developmentally appropriate materials will help to ensure their future academic success. I want to create an environment in which my students can take charge of their own learning through my facilitation of higher order thinking and equipment and materials that will scaffold their learning.
