Fantastic Foot Fidgets
Funded Oct 28, 2019Thank you again for your generosity and helping to fund our Foot Fidget Bands. The students were really excited to begin using them. Each chair in the room is equipped with a Bouncy Band, so there is minimal movement of chairs throughout the day.
The students could not wait to sit in their chairs the first day the box arrived. Upon entering the room they were quick to put their belongings away, grab their note books and get to writing at their tables.
While teaching whole group, student participation and attention has drastically increased. Kiddos are seldom wiggling around on the rug, distracting one another. In fact, most students pull a chair up to the perimeter and engage in the lesson while keeping their body safe.
Colleagues are intrigued by the concept of Foot Fidgets and have requested the use of our chairs in their room. Of course we are sharing so they can benefit from good teaching techniques.”

Drumming to the BEATS of our Hearts and Emotions
Funded Nov 21, 2018The students of Room 10 and I would like to thank you for your generosity. We are excited to begin learning this skill and have new strategies to use in our day.

Where Shall I Sit?
Funded Feb 15, 2017Hello contributors to Room 10's new rug!
We are so excited to have a fire proof rug to sit upon. Our new carpet is colorful, spacious and more than we ever hoped it to be. When it arrived before the due date we were ecstatic, we could not wait to unwrap it.
Each day we use the numbered visual replica to: conduct our morning meeting, listen to whole group instruction, create master pieces in writer's workshop, and as a location to play educational games upon completion of work. To say we love our new area would be an understatement.
Thank you once again for your generosity in helping us obtain a new spot to sit.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Cavaco
