Flexible Seating!
Funded Dec 30, 2015Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom for our Flexible Seating. I can still remember the day we received the boxes in the mail and they were delivered to our classroom. The children were so excited and when we opened the boxes up they were all screaming "Yeah, they are here!!!!!". Within minutes, they had the wobble stools built and ready for use. They have enjoyed their new choices that they have in where they will sit for the day!
The children have been using the new seats each day. They seem to be more comfortable and love the opportunity to switch each day. As a whole class, I have seen our learning space increase levels of engagement, foster active learning, and support the learning goals of my students. The children are truly enjoying using them!
We thank you again for donating and providing us with these resources, we greatly appreciate it!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Disney and 15 other donors.Wanted: Tinker Lab!
Funded Jan 22, 2015Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom for our TinkerLab. I can still remember the day we received the boxes in the mail and they were delivered to our classroom. The children started asking if they were our Lego's and Knex and when we opened the boxes up they were all screaming "Yeah, they are here!!!!!" They have enjoyed using them so much and have told me multiple times how much fun they have getting to use their imagination and building different things.
The children have been using the TinkerLab items during our Daily 5 time each day. They have been building a creation and then creating a background and taking pictures of it on their ipad. Then they can put them into a Storybook app and create a story to go along with their creation. We have also been using the Lego's during our Engineering time to help us with our wall building unit. The children are truly enjoying using them!
We thank you again for donating and providing us with these resources, we greatly appreciate it!”

Listen Up!
Funded Nov 5, 2014Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom for our headphones and splitters. I can still remember the day we received them in the mail and they were delivered to our classroom. The children started asking if they were our headphones and when we opened the boxes up they were all screaming "Yeah, they are here!!!!!" They have enjoyed using them so much and have told me multiple times how good they feel compared to their earbuds that they brought to school.
The children have been using the earphones and splitters on a daily basis. They use them to listen to stories on their ipads in Daily 5 to completing assessments in their Istation app. The splitters have been very helpful, which have allowed more than one child to listen to the same story. We can now have up to 4 children listening together as a group to a story in the listening center. These resources have allowed the children the freedom also to do their work by themselves using a pair of headphones to a whole group doing an activity together using the splitters.
We thank you again for donating and providing us with these resources, we greatly appreciate it!”
