  • Puzzlin' in Transitional Kindergarten

    Funded Nov 10, 2021

    Thank you for all your support in funding my project! Puzzles are such an important component of the early childhood classroom, and now my students are able to practice problem solving skills and prepare for reading without really knowing they're doing it! So far, we have loved using the different floor puzzles and table puzzle during center rotations. The realistic pictures on the table puzzles are just the perfect amount of challenging and engaging for my students. I am excited to continue using them in my room for many years to come.”

    With gratitude,

  • Math Coaches

    Funded Apr 22, 2018

    The change that the items have made in the classroom is nothing short of amazing. There is more freedom around the room, allowing greater opportunity for learning in the way that fits each students best. One of the greatest takeaways from the project has had nothing to do with the items themselves, but the generosity and "Unbelievable-ness" that so many people care about my students being able to have materials to help them learn better.

    When the boxes arrived, the students absolutely freaked out! It took multiple students going to the office to work together and bring them to the classroom. they were so excited to try out the stools, and were so sweet in taking turns using them to introduce the new materials to the classroom. After about a week, students were completing their math assignments with greater accuracy and feeling proud to take the chairs around and "Coach" others on the lesson. Students were even working a few lessons ahead at home so they would be ready to complete their assignments in class!! Its amazing what a few simple chairs can do in a classroom with 38 students eager to learn. This year, we started Coaching again and the now 5th graders came in and shared with the students how to be a good coach. They were so proud to work with the new 4th graders and get them all set up for success!

    I cannot thank all of the donors enough for their generosity in our project.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Gora

Currently, I have two wobbly chairs that I use in my classroom. The students are so good about taking turns with the chairs and even set up their own schedule of who uses it when (they decided for birthdays, you get to use it all day). They use these chairs so well, and move them to other tables to help students with math and writing assignments. My students need stool that will allow them to move freely around an already crowded classroom, and return to their areas without much disturbance. They can take their chair to a student that needs help in math, and "Coach" the child in the areas they missed. So often, the phrase, "Who needs a Coach?" is blurted out with the response of hands just shooting in the air. Right now, they use the wobble chairs and really take ownership in learning and pride in teaching, anything I can do to make that easier, I'm going to. Prior to the introduction of the two wobbly chairs I have, the students would have to ask others to move their chairs or table in order to get to the space they needed. I'm excited to see what adding just 4 more stools would do for the kids. In addition to the chairs making it easier for them to move around, the clipboards will allow student to find a space other than a table to work. This will allow Coaches to help students in the library area, the hallway, etc.
