  • Reading Corner

    Funded Mar 25, 2018

    My students really enjoy using their new reading corner. They like working together with their peers on iPads or reading books together. Often times they will rush into the class to be the first in the bean bag chair, so it's clearly quite a hit. My younger students have enjoyed sitting and working on the rug. There are so many things to learn from the rug, they always feel like they have something new to look at each time they come in. When they first noticed all the changes to the room they were very exited and couldn't wait to try out the new chair and check out the rug. The next step in the project is to get my books organized for the new school year on the shelving unit so that they can easily access the books at their reading levels.”

  • Furniture to Relax, Read, or Refresh

    Funded Dec 21, 2017

    Thank you so much for your donation to my project. My students have really enjoyed being able to sit comfortably on the new furniture to read, work on iPads or just to relax a few minutes before starting their work. They often rush into class to get their favorite spot before other students get there. It's very interesting to watch where they sit and how they interact with each other to make room for all kids in the group. Some students sit in the same spot everyday even when given the opportunity to move somewhere else. I guess we all have our favorite spots!!

    On behalf of my students and myself, thank you for your generous donation and know that you really have had an impact on my class!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Church

The academic rigor that is required in school can sometimes be stressful for students. Students with disabilities often experience twice the stress because they are constantly trying to keep up, but fall short because they also have to compensate for their lower skill levels. They can get frustrated or upset and can act out, refuse to do work, or completely shut down. The couch and recliner will be used in my classroom for students to read, work on iPads, take a few minutes to relax and/or refresh so that they will be ready for the next activity. A donation to this project will help my students be more successful at school and help them take charge of their emotional well-being.
