Essential Supplies for Third
Funded Jul 10, 2024My students are using all of the materials for their learning! The new foam dice and brochure holders are being used during math multiplication center time. The students are able to play multiplication games independently or with a partner!
The students were so excited to see that these new materials were for them and their learning!
Students will continue to use these materials for future math centers. They continue to learn multiplication and division all year! Right now the students are working on a holiday project to hang in the hallway! We can't thank you enough!”

Technology = Educational Tool
Funded Dec 5, 2023Receiving these tablets has made and will continue to make a great impact for my students. The students really enjoy going on reading and math apps to help with their skills.
They love going on GetEpic or RazKids to help increase their reading skills. They really enjoy going on IXL to help practice their math skills. These apps keep them motivated to learn more!
These tablets have also helped my students complete Google Classroom assignments that I have assigned for them. We are practicing taking reading and math tests on the tablets as we are preparing for the state exams. Again, thank you so much!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 13 other donors.Let's Get Flexible!
Funded Aug 2, 2023I cannot thank you enough for your support helping our class be flexible! The rocking chairs and small tables have been making such an impact for the students learning! As you see in the letter, they help the student refocus and do their best work while rocking in the chairs!
The students are also able to work on a small group and have conversations with each other for group time! Having students partner up helps each other with turn and talks!
Again, I cannot thank you enough for all of your generosity helping my students grow!”

Funded Feb 21, 2023Receiving these resources have been vital for my students learning and for my classroom! As you can see in the pictures my students are able to solve math problems using the dry erase markers, dry erase boards, and the pouches to store them!
My students were so excited to see that they had received these materials to help them with their learning! Some of the materials delivered helped to add to our flexible seating which gives the students choice in which they can do their best learning!!
My students will be using these materials to help them complete a zoo project solving for area!”

This classroom project was brought to life by Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation.Yay, Choice! Flexible Seating!
Funded Sep 8, 2022My students were so excited when they saw the wobble stools and new bouncy seat! I created a new table called the wobble stool table! Of course I had to create a rotation schedule so everyone in the class would get to use them! I added the new bouncy seat to another table!
The wobble stools are really helping my students that need to fidget or rock in order to concentrate and engage in learning! The wobble stools as well as the bouncy seat really provide the additional stimulation that some of my students need to help their ability to focus!
I have seen a big difference in their focus due to these different flexible seating options. My students will continue to use these flexible seating options to help them focus throughout the whole school day, every day!”

Flexible Seating
Funded Aug 14, 2019I thank you so much for helping to support the students learning! They are loving the flexible seating options and working hard. This has allowed them to do a lot of partner and group work.
When all of the students saw the new seating options, they were beyond excited. They think they are comfortable and enjoy doing their school work in them.
Our next social studies unit is learning about countries. These seating options allow them to research and complete their country research projects together as a group with deep discussion. We can't thank you all enough!”

iPad Mini for First Graders!
Funded Sep 21, 2016What an amazing impact it has been by having this piece of technology in the classroom! The students are so eager and excited to play learning games online. There are so many wonderful and educational websites online for kids to learn! My students have learned so much already by using the iPad. I have some students go on it to help them learn the letter sounds together. I have some students go on to help them read stories and learn more words. I have others that go on to play math games to help reinforce concepts that are being taught.
The most exciting part about the iPad is that most of my students don't have this type of technology at home. I work in a high poverty area and giving them this amazing tool to help them with their education is very empowering.
I have about six students that are far below grade level with reading and math skills. When I'm teaching the curriculum in the classroom, sometimes they feel frustrated because they cannot complete tasks. When I give them this type of technology to help them continue their learning at the level they are at, they feel more relaxed and more eager to continue learning.
I cannot express my gratitude and thanks enough. Thank you for giving my students again this amazing tool to help them grow as learners!!”

iPad for First Graders
Funded May 16, 2016Dear Donors,
Your generosity is truly appreciated! Having gained this piece of technology can help my students in many ways. I now have the ability to put one student on or a couple to help them learn through amazing websites. Now my students have the ability to learn through reading and math games online! It is a complete motivation booster!
The students are most excited that they get to play these games while learning! They don't even realize how much they are learning while playing these exciting and educational games!
I have two students who weren't excited about Math. Once I put them on the iPad to play a math game, their attitude towards this subject completely changed! Again, it is a great motivational tool to use in the classroom and I can't say thank you enough!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Mair
