Saddle Up Your Wiggle Seat and Gather Round the Horseshoe!

Funded May 11, 2018

My students and I have just started a brand new school year together! Even though I received your graciously donated materials at the end of the last school year, it was so amazing to walk into my room over the summer and see the materials again! I remembered right away how beneficial they have already been for my students and I. The easel in particular has been so helpful. I am able to provide instruction in multiple areas of the room. The students have also enjoyed practicing the sight words and math facts on the easel. Also, the students have enjoyed their flexible seating options. Their personal favorites are the wobble stools and floor cushions. They can take them anywhere in the room!

My students are always so curious when anything out of the norm happens in a classroom. So it should go without saying that when they walked into my room once materials had started to arrive, they were so interested! My favorite part was when they asked where I got everything and I was able to explain how there were some very special people who showed a lot of kindness and provided us with these new materials. They were very happy and excited to try everything out!

There are so many opportunities during this new school year for us to try out all of our new materials. The students are anxious to learn at our new small group table. The horseshoe table will also be really beneficial for me because I will be able to reach all of my students and help them immediately. We plan to rotate flexible seating options so that everyone gets a chance to see what works best for them.

Once again I want to thank all of you for your generous donations. My students and I are so grateful for the new learning experiences that have already started to happen. You have helped make learning more successful and possible for my students!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Bartrom
