Funded Nov 20, 2019Thank you so much for the flexible seating and playground equipment. The flexible seating has allowed the students to have a comfortable place to sit while completing assignments and reading. The playground equipment allows the students to run, jump, play games and get plenty of exercise every day.
When my students saw the boxes arrive they were so excited. They couldn't wait to see what was inside. They have enjoyed helping get the seats ready and they love getting to have a comfortable place to sit. The playground balls have been a huge hit. The kids grab them up at the beginning of recess and love playing with their peers. The bean bags, jump ropes and cones allow the students to make up fun games and get creative with their exercise.
Thanks again for being so willing to help out my classroom. My students will continue to use the flexible seating to make learning more comfortable and the playground equipment to make playing outside more enjoyable. We are so appreciative that so many people value education.”

Funded Jul 23, 2018Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. With your donation I was able to receive new classroom materials to teach reading and writing.

We use the journals every week during writing and the reading activities are used in stations and also during guided reading. Thanks again, for thinking of my sweet first graders.

Sphero is My Hero
Funded Sep 20, 2017Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. My students love their new robot Sphero and the two tablets. Sphero has allowed my students to learn to code. Sphero, is a robot that is in the shape of a ball. The students use an app on their new tablets to make programs for Sphero. The programs (codes) that are created by the students allow Sphero do tricks, roll in all different directions, change colors and speeds.
The most exciting thing about Sphero is the amount the students have learned while using the new technology. This robot has taught the students how to make their own programs. This makes the learning individualized for all the students. This results in the students never having to worry about how well they can operate Sphero or understand how coding works. The app that the students use has beginner programs already set up, but also has available space for students to create their own programs as they gain new knowledge related to coding. One of my students, absolutely loves Sphero and has already learned to make programs of his own. He is our class Sphero teacher. He has used what he has learned and is taking that information and teaching his classmates how to make programs of their own.
We love Sphero and our tablets and are so thankful for people like you who are willing to donate money to support education!!!”
