Donor's Choose

We were super lucky to have two Donor's Choose projects funded. 

We got a brand new pencil sharpener, and lots and lots of different types of pencils. 

We also got a bunch of icky, sticky, ooey, gooey things.
We got glitter glue and lots of different types of tape.

We have had a great time getting to use our new materials in our centers.
We are so thankful for all the people who have supported our class through donations.

Donor's Choose

We got boxes from Donor's Choose.
Some people bought them for us.
That is so nice.
It is like Christmas, but not at Christmas, before.
We like to work with them.
We got a bunch of new things to use on the light table.
You can see through them.
The light goes through them.
The colors can mix too.
It is pretty cool.
We have blocks, and x-rays, and dominoes, and tiles, and wedgets, and climbing toys.
I like them all.
I like to mix the colors to make purple.
It is red and blue to make purple.
I like that.
Purple is pretty.
I like pink things.
I like to build with the blocks.
The people are awesome.
I love x-rays.
Like the doctor.
I want to be a doctor.

Helmets

Thanks to some very generous donations through a Donor's Choose grant, we now have new helmets that all our Pre-K friends get to use.
We got twenty brand new, bright red helmets that will help to keep our heads and brains safe and protected. Now, we can use our bikes and wagons on the playground.
The bikes and wagons help us to improve our gross motor development, especially our large muscles in our legs. But, using the bikes and wagons, also helps us to learn to communicate better with each other, problem solve and take turns.
We are so excited!!
Thank you to Mrs. Voigt's Mommy and Daddy (or Baby Gregory's O'Ma and O'Pa), Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Voigt's little friends, Donor's Choose Friends and Family, and Kia Motors America for the donations so that all our Pre-K friends can keep their brains safe.

Block Mates

We got a big box.
We got to open it.


We found out what was inside the box.
We got new things for blocks.

 

We got Block Mates.

We learned about how to use them.

We learned about how we got them.

We got them from people who are nice.

They helped us.

We took the Block Mates to blocks.

We got to use them.
We figured out how they work.
We think they are so cool!

Everyone is Different, Everyone is the Same

We got our new things from our Donor's Choose being funded.
We got things to help us learn about people are different.
We got posters, books, dolls and adaptive equipment for the dolls.
We read the book We all Play.
Then we talked about what we have learned.

That book told us that everyone plays.
Some people play different.
Only cause they are different.
Some people have legs that don't work like ours do.
They might use a wheel chair.
They might use a walker to.
They might use braces.
But, they play like we do.
Some people don't have eyes that work like ours do.
They might use glasses.
They might have a dog that helps them see.
They might read books with bumps.
But, they play like we do.
We got new things.
They show us how friends might be different.
We put them with our babies.
We get to play with them.
They show us how friends move when their legs don't work.
They show us how friends hear when their ears don't work.
They might use glasses.
Juliette has glasses.
And Ronald and Aldiar and Mrs. Voigt.
We are excited.
Just because they are different, we can still play.
We can be friends when people are different.
We can.
We want to be.
