  • Resources and Germ Free Air!

    Funded Nov 29, 2023

    I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I extend my heartfelt thanks to our generous donors who have made a significant impact on our first-grade classroom. Your thoughtful contributions of air purifiers have not only created a healthier learning environment for our young students but have also demonstrated a genuine concern for their well-being.

    The gift cards you provided have opened up endless possibilities for enhancing the educational experience of our first graders. Your generosity allows us to acquire valuable resources that will aid in their growth and development. From educational materials to enriching activities, your support is helping to shape the future of these bright young minds.

    As we navigate the academic year with the newfound support from donors like you, I want to express my deepest gratitude. Your kindness has not only made a tangible difference in our classroom but has also instilled a sense of community and shared responsibility. Together, we are fostering an environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive, learn, and reach their full potential. Thank you for being a crucial part of our educational journey.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Capetillo

  • Technology and Organization

    Funded Nov 20, 2018

    Technology has helped our students grow in many ways. With the two computers that were donated we have been able to make a full group set of 6 which allows me to use them during centers time. 6 students in the group can access math online games which allows them to create a love for math. Students tend to get bored of the regular paper pencil way of doing math and throwing in some fun math games gives them opportunity to be kept engaged while learning at the same time. It particularly helped out my lowest students which have been recently excited to get on the computer. We are forever grateful for this tool in our classroom!”

  • ChromeBooks for Interactive Lessons

    Funded Oct 2, 2017

    I want to start this letter off by saying thank you on behalf of my students and myself. We are thrilled to have this technology in our classroom. I can now give interactive lessons to the students and they can use their chrome books to figure out math problems. They are mostly excited to learn how to touch the keyboard and learn how to type. All of my students have warmed up this new technology. They have said they wish all the lessons were given this way using technology. I thank you greatly for giving my class a chance to have technology in the classroom.”

  • Balance Balls for My Wigglers!

    Funded Jun 6, 2017

    Thank you for making our classroom complete with our balance balls. The children are eager to come to class and learn ever since we received our balance balls. They were so excited to try them out! It has engaged their brains and has definitely gotten their wiggles out as they wiggle away in their chairs while they learn. I am happy to say classroom behavior has changed for the best after this donation and my students are all actively learning. Thank you again for this gift! We are forever grateful to have these balance balls in our classroom.”

    With gratitude,

A major component of this personalized learning model is setting up a classroom environment that attends to many different learning styles. The room and all spaces are shared by every learners with areas identified for the different kinds of learning children may need to access throughout the day. Some area designs may include group work, presentations or demonstrations (by teachers or learners), research, reading, thinking and discussing, and creating and innovating. Wobble chairs are designed to support students with ADHD, because they provide a physical challenge and opportunity to release energy while simultaneously working. However, modifications such as these wobble chairs often benefit all learners, especially with a shared classroom space. What a wonderful way to empower learners by allowing them to design and choose their ideal learning environment. The simple opportunity to choose a chair that meets your physical needs is a catalyst for developing success and confidence as a learner!
