Let's Get Organized!
Funded Sep 23, 2021Thank you so much for donating to provide these materials for my classroom. My students have been putting them to great use every day for the intended purpose of: helping them to organize themselves and their learning materials during this time of social distancing.
Prior to the COVID outbreak, my kindergarten students were accustomed to sharing materials and sitting amongst one another at grouped tables and on a large carpet. To keep the spread of germs and illness at a minimum, our classroom had to do away with our large carpet and grouped tables for learning. Sharing materials as well as storing them together in a desk also was no longer an option.
Thanks to your donation of these seat organizers and floor spots, my students have been able to keep their materials organized, as well as sit in a socially-distanced grouping similar to what would have been possible prior to COVID protocols. These materials have really helped to create a classroom environment to help my students succeed and learn, despite the challenges they are currently facing.”

Funded May 6, 2019Thank you so much for donating to my class' project! My students have thoroughly enjoyed being able to use the clipboards and floor cushions to complete classwork, while giving them the flexibility to do so in a place other than a desk.
When the class first received the materials, they were very excited to use them! Students have found the clipboards and floor cushions to be especially useful during our writing time. Since our class follows the Writer's Workshop model, there is a good portion of the block that allows students time to independently write. When I am working with a small group on their writing, the students who are writing independently can choose to use the clipboards and floor cushions to continue their writing in quiet and comfort.
Moving forward, I plan to use these materials for my new kindergarten class. I will teach them how to use the materials and they will be able to use them during their writing and center time. The students will also learn that they can use the floor cushions to sit on during their independent reading time. My students and I greatly appreciate the support you have given us for this project. Thank you for supporting our endeavors in learning!”
