Wobble Chairs!
Funded Oct 13, 2016We are thrilled that our project was funded and that we have our amazing new wobble chairs in our classroom all because of your kind and generous donations. We were so excited when our package of our new stools arrived we could barely contain ourselves! We had to learn the rules of who uses the chairs on what days, how to appropriately use them and agree upon some rules to follow as a classroom. So far we've been very successful in using our chairs safely and to help us focus while learning!
We use these stools in our classroom for lots of different reasons. We have been practicing and learning about how some people have different needs than others and why it is important to be understanding of those needs. Some of us need to wiggle and move a bit while sitting in our seats (or new chairs) to help us focus on our work, and its really helping lots of students in our classroom. We trade stools by our table groups and carpet spots daily and based on behaviors in the classroom. These stools help us to focus our minds while also controlling our bodies in a safe way.
While we have our new stools, we have so much learning to do in our classroom and are excited that these will be with us for the remainder of our school year. We are currently working on our holiday studies learning about 5 new holidays, finishing our nonfiction expository unit study and are excited to start the new year with our awesome new resources. Thanks again donors, we appreciate you!”

Book Bags!
Funded Oct 7, 2016We cannot thank you enough for your generosity with your donations in supporting our classrooms new resources of our book bags. We were so excited when our boxes arrived with our new book bags and immediately began preparing ourselves for using them. First we made a classroom rules list of how we are to appropriately use our book bags, decided upon how many books we will keep inside of them, and how to use them safely and fairly around the room. Once we agreed upon our rules, we wrote our names on our bags and immediately put them to use!
We use our book bags daily, and they have helped us quite a bit in helping us to stay organized, keep better track of our own belongings and remembering to take care of them as we are lucky to have them! These are especially helpful when we have our book buddy readings with our middle school friends who visit us once a month, these help us to easily carry our books upstairs to the library without any hassle!
We will continue to use these bags throughout the rest of the year and will leave them for the next group of students next year. We cannot thank you enough for helping us in our learning and love for reading, so that we can now acquire even more books and continue to practice being responsible for our own belongings. Thank you again donors!”
