Keep Calm and Learn On!
Funded Oct 11, 2023Thank you so much for donating to this classroom project. The students have been able to use the flexible seating that we have gotten for a classroom in many ways. The students are able to use the flexible seating during small group activities and whole group activities. It gives them the ability to, stay focused when they might be having anxiety during a lesson or even feeling stressed. The students continually use these different flexible seating options every day. I have seen a difference in students behavior because they all love to sit in these amazing chairs and cushions. Thank you so much!”

They are able to log on from their home to have virtual lessons as well as complete assignments. They also can used the devices while in school when needed. They have greatly impacted our students and gave them the same chance to learn ! While using these devices the students can complete math, reading, and writing activists! They can also watch videos that help with all different lessons being taught in school. We have had such success having the student log in and learn from home when they weren't able to before! We are so happy that we were given this opportunity to help our students.”

Taking a Seat in Ms. Cavanagh's Class!
Funded Nov 13, 2019Since receiving the classroom stools our class has become much easier to navigate! The students use the stools every day for small group instruction during reading, writing, and math. The students are able transition smoothly into each activity!
When the students received the stools they were so excited! The loved them so much every student wanted to sit in them right away. These stools help many of the students stay focused during activities because they are able to sit comfortably at the kidney table and are able to actively listen to the teacher. The stools also wobble with help other students who have motor issues to help strengthen those skills.
The students in my class are going to continue to learning with the use of these stools! Learning has been made so much easier by having these stools. These have been a great addition to our classroom!”

Learning Reading and Math With Technology!
Funded Jan 26, 2018Since receiving these amazing head phones the students have been able to use the i-ready program, and the myon reading program on all school devices such as ipads, computers, and lab tops. The students have been able to take ownership over their work because they have been able take their head phones, and start their work independently. The students are now able to have their individualized lessons read to them over the computer or other device that they are using. The students now have a quieter atmosphere using the head phones because they are not distracted by hearing each others lessons at the same time.
The students are able to access both reading and math on i-ready and the head phones have been a great help to them staying more focused and engaged in their work due to the fact that they are able to hear clearly what is being said in the program. The students really enjoy having their own personal set of head phones. Each student has their own bag with an assigned number which they can take out at any time when they need to complete either i-ready or myon.
There are multiple students who have really enjoyed having these new head phones. I have seen more students jumping to complete their i-ready lessons because they are able to hear the whole lesson because of their individual head phones. Theses students have actually logged more i-ready minutes in the last two weeks! It has been great to see the students so dedicated to their work.”
