  • Alternative Seating SETSS You Up for Success.

    Funded Oct 31, 2024

    Thank you for the wobble chairs for my classroom. I provide small group instruction for students with and without IEPs. The students are a diverse group of learners, and I am grateful that they have the opportunity to choose a seat which supports their learning style.

    The students were surprised and excited to sit and have the ability to move around as they completed their work. Many students have a difficult time sitting in traditional chairs. The chairs purchased for my classroom were "wobble chairs" they are able to keep moving as they work.

    The ability to provide my students with an alternative seating option was incredible and I am very grateful.”

  • We Learn Better With Manipulatives.

    Funded May 6, 2024

    Thank you for all of my new resources. The children were excited to use them and begin the school year with brand new supplies. The colored ink was useful in prepping the classroom for bright new learning resources and games to engage students.

    The resources you donated will help support my students' learning needs. The students especially enjoyed using the magnetic base ten blocks to show the value of numbers. It truly solidified the concept of place value. Materials like this make it possible for teachers to support the learning styles of all students, Thank you for your ongoing support.”

  • Multisensory Learning

    Funded Jun 7, 2023

    Thank you so much for funding my project. With a new year comes new students and it is wonderful to have the tools ready at the beginning of the year. The materials you funded will help implement a multisensory learning experience for the students which will keep them engaged while helping to improve their reading and writing skills. These materials motivate the students while giving them opportunities to practice reading skills in an exciting way.

    My second and third grade students were elated to open their new sensory boxes with fresh sand to trace letters and play dough to create words. We have been working non stop to solidify letter sound relationships and the new materials make it exciting.

    Once again, thank you for supporting my classroom. Your generosity is very much appreciate.”

  • Multisensory Learning

    Funded Oct 27, 2022

    Thank you so much for the multisensory materials for our classroom. The students are so motivated by the games I was able to create using the new color printer. They are learning new things in fun ways each day!!!

    In our classroom we also use the wipe off boards daily to practice math skills and dictation work. I am so grateful for the material our class received. We are able to work more efficiently in small groups using the portable easel from Donors Choose.

    Once again thank you so much for your generous donations. It was put to good use!!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Garofalo
