Starbucks Styled Classroom
Funded Jul 22, 2018Thank you again so much for all of your support! None of this would be possible without you. Flexible seating has been a game changer in our classroom. The students LOVE to sit at the tall table with a bar stool or relax on the rug - these two spots are definitely a working spot classroom favorite. Students love using both area to work on independent tasks so they are able to get out of their seats and have a choice. For many students, moving to these areas have improved their focus on their work. Thank you so much for making this possible!”

Get Our Group On!
Funded Mar 13, 2018I cannot express into words my gratitude for your contribution towards the group table for my classroom! The table has been put to great use since the day it arrived! My students excitedly pull up their chairs to work on the table and particularly enjoy working together in a close proximity. It has been so much easier to work with my students in this comfortable learning space, and as a result, my students are more focused and motivated to work and learn with your wonderful contribution.
Thank you again so much for your generosity and for making a major impact on my classroom!”

Funded Dec 26, 2017Thank you all again for taking part in making this project a reality! The Chromebooks arrived and my students began using them immediately and helped my students obtain total technological independence!
These Chromebooks have fundamentally changed the way I conduct class and my students have benefited from enhanced interactivity in daily math activities. Students work even harder during class so that they have a chance to use the laptops! I can already see the difference they are making in the level of engagement in school.
Thank you again for you help in helping me achieve a 21st century classroom!”

Help Create a Successful Math Workshop!
Funded Aug 2, 2017I can't thank you enough for your donation to my Math Workshop project! These resources have made a huge difference in my math workshop. Usually I begin math workshop by doing a whole group mini-lesson. Then, I work with small groups as students rotate through different activities. The activities you donated to our class hold my students' interest and keep them engaged as I pull groups to work on targeted skills.
It's also amazing how a game or activity can capture students' interest. Solving word problems on a worksheet can seem so boring, but all of my students love solving the problems with our new materials. I love that students can check themselves and correct their own mistakes while I am helping others.
My students can't wait to play to use these materials everyday are are even excited for the concepts that we haven't gotten to yet! These games are keeping us engaged and excited about math all year long!”

Funded Mar 3, 2017Thank you once again for your donation to our class charging cart. We have been using it each day to keep our computers and kindles charged so that we can use them for math centers and doing research about science topics. Our class computer monitors have taken on the responsibility of making sure the computers are returned carefully and that the cart is locked up each day. It now takes us very little time to get computers or kindles out and distributed and then also very little time to clean up when we are finished. Having the charging cart saves us so much transition time each day. Thanks again for your donation! The students appreciate it!!”

Flexible Seating for the 21st Century Classroom!
Funded Feb 9, 2017Thank you again for all your generous donations. My students were so excited when the boxes arrived in the classroom, we had to stop and open them right away! They could not wait to start using the new items for our classroom.
Each morning, the students come into the classroom and find the best learning environment for them. It may be on the exercise ball, in the scoop chair, on the floor, one of the wobble chairs or using the seat cushions. Those students who need to be moving while choose the exercise ball or wobble chair. They are able to get their wiggles out as they work.
My students are always wanting to sit in one of our new seats. They are more comfortable and I truly believe that all of them can now focus on their work and be more productive with their learning. Thank you again for your support with my students!”

Make Math and Science on Fire!
Funded Jan 2, 2017We are so happy these Kindle Fires have arrived in our classroom!
Since we set up the Kindles in our classroom, the students have looked forward to independent math time! In math, we use the Kindle Fires during our Workshop time. As a teacher, I'm able to differentiate their math workshop time and know that students are accessing the content at their level. I've been able to download apps to reinforce the skills that we are learning at the time, such as IXL, XtraMath, and HMH Player that will allow my students to practice mathematical concepts independently while moving into the future with technology.
It has been so wonderful to see these Kindles in action - and I can't wait to use them in many more ways! Thank you so very much for helping to make this happen!”

Funded Oct 14, 2016Thank you for your generous donation to our classroom. We were so excited to receive our new whiteboard easel and carpet. The students absolutely love a place to sit and not only do whole group instruction but it is a great place to meet for small groups. Our whiteboard is being used during all of our lessons and it is much easier for the students to see. The students love being called up to the board to model for the other students in the classroom. Thank you again for your generous donation and we hope you have a wonderful holiday season.”
