Because of you, our preschool classroom now has a Tonie Box, Tonies characters, and storytelling kits that are already enriching our classroom library center and supporting our students' language development in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nThe Tonie Box is an exciting and inviting part of our library center, where students can independently listen to stories by placing a Tonies character on the box. This simple, screen-free experience encourages careful listening, attention, and comprehension as children follow along with familiar and new stories. It also helps build vocabulary, story sequencing, and understanding of characters and events. The storytelling kits further support expressive language by giving students opportunities to retell stories, create their own narratives, and engage in imaginative play with peers.\r\n\r\nListening and storytelling are essential skills in preschool, as they form the foundation for reading, communication, and social interaction. These materials support diverse learners, including students developing language skills and those who benefit from repetition and auditory learning. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and for helping us create a warm, engaging learning environment where stories come to life and every child's voice can grow.

Because of you, our preschool classroom now has the Lakeshore Early Learning Activity Boxes and the Lakeshore Early Learning Folder Game Library—resources that will have a lasting and meaningful impact on our students' language development.\r\n\r\nThese materials provide engaging, hands-on opportunities for children to build essential language skills such as vocabulary, listening, speaking, and early comprehension. The activity boxes allow students to practice language concepts through play, conversation, and exploration, while the folder games offer structured yet fun activities that support turn-taking, following directions, and expressive language. Both resources are especially valuable for meeting a wide range of language needs, including students who are developing speech, learning English, or benefiting from additional practice and repetition.\r\n\r\nSupporting language skills in preschool is critically important, as these early years lay the foundation for future reading, writing, and overall academic success. Strong language skills also help children communicate their needs, build relationships, and gain confidence in the classroom.

Our new linking cubes will give students concrete ways to build, count, compare quantities, and explore patterns, supporting early number sense and problem-solving skills. The magnetic tens frames will allow children to model numbers, practice counting, and begin understanding quantity and relationships in a clear, interactive way. In addition, the math movement set will get our students up and moving as they learn, helping them connect math concepts with physical activity, an especially powerful approach for young learners.\r\n\r\nThese tools will support different learning styles, encourage collaboration, and make math joyful and accessible for every child.

Magnatiles will allow students to explore shapes, spatial relationships, and problem-solving as they design and build, strengthening both math and fine motor skills. The counting Play-Doh mats give students a tactile way to practice counting, one-to-one correspondence, and number formation, which is especially powerful for young learners who learn best by doing. Number sequencing puzzles will support understanding of number order and early logic, while jumbo dot dice and magnetic dominoes will encourage counting, subitizing, comparing quantities, and cooperative play with peers.\r\n\r\nThese materials make abstract math concepts concrete and accessible, helping students of all learning styles succeed.

The lockers have provided a sense of ownership and responsibility, encouraging students to take pride in their personal space and belongings. This has not only helped in keeping the classrooms tidy but has also fostered an environment of respect and organization. Thanks to the added convenience of having lockers, our students are now able to participate in physical education class due to having a place to leave their athletic supplies at school instead of transporting them back and forth, and sadly forgetting them at home.\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generous contribution. Your support has not only provided a practical solution but has also enriched the experiences of our students.
