  • Rugs as Teaching Tools!

    Funded Aug 18, 2023

    DonorsChoose just advised me that my project was fully funded!!! I am now part of the "5th Project Club". Woot-woot! My kids and I are so thankful for the generous support we receive each and every year from the DonorsChoose community. I look forward to a productive - and now healthy - school year!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shambo

  • Listen to Learn - All Ears on Deck!

    Funded Dec 6, 2022

    WOW! I am beyond speechless that my project was funded in less than 24 hours! My kids will be SO excited to return from break to find that some little holiday elves brought brand new headphones for them. Looking forward to lots of learning in the New Year! Much thanks!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shambo

  • Book Pockets

    Funded Feb 9, 2022

    My project for chair book pockets was fully funded thanks to your generosity!!! My children will be very excited to be able to keep their books with them at their seats, and organized. This will leave more working space on their desks (and keep the floor neater!). Thank you so much !!!”

    Ms. Shambo

  • Standing Desks for Busy Bodies

    Funded Sep 7, 2020

    I know the picture of unopened boxes is probably not very exciting. I would love to show you the desks in action with my students, however, we will be virtual through the end of the school year. I felt like I was really, really prolonging my thank you, and since we were finally allowed back in the school building, I took a couple of quick shots to show you they did indeed arrive. I can't wait to unpack and assemble for next year's students, who I am thinking positive thoughts that they will be with me in-person.

    I thank you again so very much for making a flexible seating classroom dream come true!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shambo

  • Can't Sit Still - and That's OK!

    Funded Oct 3, 2020

    We have finally been called back to work in the school building, and I was so excited to find all my fabulous gifts from those of you who supported my DonorsChoose project! The bouncer bands and wobble stools arrived sooner than expected considering the times we are living in. My class will remain virtual through this school year, but I can't wait to unpack these goodies for my 2021-2022 class. I so apologize that I can't have 'in action' photos for you, but we so appreciate your support no matter when the kids finally arrive!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shambo

I can't sit all day. I work best while standing. Adults (for the most part) have the ability to choose what their workstation looks like and how they schedule their breaks from sitting. Children (for the most part) do not. They are told when, where, and how to complete tasks most of their day. I noticed many students also prefer to stand while working. Often they could be found leaning uncomfortably over their regular height desks. I did some research and discovered standing desks. Perfect! In addition, they appear to be easy to clean which is important to all of us during Covid. With your assistance, I will be able to provide two more workstations for my kids for 2020-2021.
