MoRe Festive Gifts for First Graders!
Funded Nov 30, 2020Thank you so much for the support and love you have shown to my students this holiday season. I loved putting together all the gift bags and most of all, delivering them to my students. They were so excited about the books and legos the most. I even had a parent tell me that her son slept with his legos! I can't wait to get back to our virtual classroom so they can also use their new whiteboards, markers and headphones. I truly appreciate you and all you have done for me and my students. I couldn't have done it without you! Happy holidays!”

Lap Desks for Flexible Seating
Funded Dec 28, 2017Since receiving the Lap Desks in my classrooms my students have used them every single day! They love having the option to sit at one of our "flexible seating" choices during free choice or during our structured stations.
When we first opened them my students were so excited and wanted to test them out right away! Each student had a chance to sit on a lap desk and we talked about the proper way to use them. Students are even held responsible for putting them away in our designated area after they are done using them.
These lap desks have added more to our "flexible seating" choices and have even increased student motivated to complete work when they get the option to choose a lap desk! They have had such a positive impact on my classroom culture and environment. Thank you so much for your generosity! It surely goes a long way!”

The Tablet Project
Funded Jun 29, 2017Since receiving the tablets for my Kindergarten classroom I have been able to use them both for academics and as a rewards system. In order to build their literacy skills, my students have been practicing letter recognition, handwriting and are improving their listening skills through the free applications I have downloaded. In regards to math, students have been able to practice forming numbers as well as improve their number sense.
As an incentive my students view the tablets as a "reward." I have noticed that my students are more focused and efficient when completing their work when they have the option to use tablets when they are finished. We have had class discussion about being responsible citizens when using the tablets and taking care of them. For the future, I am looking forward to downloading applications that translate stories from Spanish to English in order to further support my 5 Spanish speaking students.
Thank you so much for thinking of my students and providing them a way to enhance their academic experience. It means a lot to me and to the families of my students to know that we have people like you supporting us every step of the way! Many thanks from the Fisher Flamingos of Room 102!!!”
