Basic Needs & Headphones to Relax
Funded Feb 1, 2020The headphones that you so kindly provided for us have been huge motivators while doing our online reading intervention program. Scholars are excited to complete their classwork and workbook so that they can use them! It is helping them remain focus and has been used as a reward. Some of my scholars that typically did not want to complete the whole workbook page have now been completing the whole thing and even first! It has been truly amazing what a little sound and personalized headphones can do.
My scholars have also been very excited to learn how to organize papers for each subject as well as put them in their binder. They were extremely excited when I told them they are for them to use. Their eyes lit up like the Fourth of July. They have been using the coloring materials to create their names to put on the binder.
They have been very grateful and wanted me to thank each and every one of you. I am also very thankful that you all took time out of your day to donate.”

How Comfortable Can School Get?
Funded Jan 27, 2019We are using the new resources every day. One of my scholars who usually does not like to come ever has been asking me if he can leave with me to go to class early! When they first saw the materials, they were all really excited to have more flexible seating options. They love to lounge back in the chairs and prop their feet up on the stools. I have never seen children look so comfortable and learning at the same time!
We thank you very much for your gracious donation and your willingness to help us feel more comfortable while we are at school. Everything we received makes sitting in this classroom feel like a safe space where we can all learn and grow together. Thank you once again!”

Relax, Learn, and Fidget!
Funded Dec 1, 2017The new resources that you so kindly donated to our classroom has been very beneficial for our learning. Every day, two student's are picked through our "ticket system" to use the chairs for the day. It is amazing to be able to give them an opportunity to sit on something more comfortable and it allows them move around more. The fidgets that we received are so cool! We are able to focus more on our work, especially during testing. Almost all of us improved our scores when we used our new headphones and fidgets.
When I brought all of our new donations into the classroom, they could not stop smiling! I was filled with pure joy and had a crew of middle school scholars surrounding me asking what each one does. They were very respectful of the donations and each got to try them all out. I honestly forgot to bring them in the classroom the other day because I was rushing and one of my student's specifically asked for a fidget that he loves! It made my day!
Our next steps as a class is to continue using our fidgets to help us test better and pay more attention. When we take what is called the "Common Assessments", students will be able to use these while testing to help them remain focused. They are extremely thankful for this opportunity provided by all of you and we cannot thank you enough.”
