    Funded Feb 12, 2025

    We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support in funding our project!

  • Swipe. Click. Tap!

    Funded Mar 3, 2023

    The students were so excited to see so many boxes for the classroom. They were even more excited that the supplies were things that they could use right away. The headphones came in many different colors that they all got to choose which one that they wanted to use.

    The other classroom supplies like the labels, tape, and post-it notes will go along way to help the students keep organized. The printable labels were used to label their headphones and tablets. Since COVID, we try to make sure that everything is properly labeled so that the students know which one is theirs. You generosity is greatly appreciated.”

  • Run, Hop, And Jump Into In-Person Learning

    Funded Aug 6, 2021

    Thank you so much for your donations. My students are able to enjoy the new resources while returning to in-person learning. At times teaching may be difficult because we are still practicing social distancing. Students are now able to participate in team activities by using the supplies that were funded.

    The pool noodle with portable nets are a game changer. We for teams and students are able to pull together to get play balloon volleyball. The pool noodle helps students stay socially distanced and yet we can practice working together physically.

    The rainbow balls and jump rope are a huge hit with the students. Recess is particular exciting for my class as they get to show off their rainbow balls and jump around with their new jump ropes. The yellow dot markers help make recess organized as students know exactly where to stand because they still need to practice social distancing. We are very thankful to have Donors Choose and its donors help inspire students to learn in school!”

  • Let's Get Physical

    Funded May 7, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation supporting our students as they returned to school for in person learning. After a full year of online learning, we were so excited to welcome back our students to school!

    Keeping our students safe as they returned to school was our number one priority! Keeping our students socially distanced during recess was quite a challenge. Your generous donations of recess toys allowed the students to have a break from classwork and be socially distanced while still having fun!

    All of the students are truly grateful for your generosity! From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for helping us safely return back to school!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Michael

We are on a mission to remake our classroom! We believe that students learn best when they are able to converse and teach each other. Through this model, we are incorporating flexible seating. We are asking for 6 wedge desks that students can make into groups or keep as individual units. “The Role Of The Teacher Is To Create The Conditions For Invention Rather Than Provide Ready-Made Knowledge.” -Seymour Papert We want our students to make flexible groupings within the class. We also want to encourage our students to work where they learn best. This could be at a desk, standing in a group, or sitting on the floor. We want our students to actively participate and take ownership in their projects.
