  • Taking Time to Reflect, Regroup, and Restore!

    Funded Jul 5, 2023

    Thank you so much for your donations. My students love their special area. This area has truly created a classroom conducive to learning. They love the clots and the comfort!

    All of my students know the purpose of the calm down area. They utilize it well. Students are able to go to the area if they need time to regroup, If they are not feeling well, or just upset. They really love the fidgets and they love the comfort of the beanbag and chair! The many activities are also winners! They help to take the students mind off of the problem and they are able to return back to the learning environment within a reasonable amount of time. This area helps to keep the peace in our classroom.

    The area is very effective and necessary. We are forever grateful.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Stafford

  • Take a Seat and Read! A Comfy Spot Indeed!

    Funded Aug 29, 2022

    Thank you all so much for contributing to our class. We are enjoying our beautiful red couch and chair. The students rotate for Reading Stations daily. They enjoy reading and look forward to visiting the center.

    When they first saw the chairs, they were super excited and couldn't stop inviting everyone to our classroom. They loved being in the center and constantly asked if they could do their work in the reading area.

    The students are looking forward to reading to our Pre-K Students. They will be reading stories and drinking Hot Chocolate in our amazing center. They have been working diligently to become fluent readers. You can always hear them in the center as they practice reading with expression. Our special day is coming soon and they are ready! We appreciate you all and thank you for giving our class a comfortable place to read!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Stafford
