  • Fun Zone

    Funded Aug 31, 2023

    I just want to thank each of you for helping contribute to my classroom and bring some socialization and fun into my classes. As an adult, I think we forget that our high school students are still kids at heart and need some time to unwind and decompress from the everyday stressors of high school life.

    To be able to come into my classroom and know they have a safe space to unwind, relax and take a break is a huge deal for them. I feel they are even more connected and focused during our academic periods because they know they have an opportunity to "play" if they get their work done first!

    Thank you again for helping me bring a little fun back into the classroom!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Smith

  • Wobble While We Work!

    Funded Oct 8, 2019

    It is with my deepest gratitude that I say thank you for donating to our classroom! Our wobble stools and balance balls arrived a few days ago and my students were ecstatic!

    This was the first time I used donors choose. This is also the first time giving more flexible seating choices to my students, and they LOVE it!

    When the boxes arrived the students speculated what could be in them. They cheered when I pulled out the wobble stools, and cheered even more when I pulled out the balance balls! After quickly assembling the them, they were set around our small group tables. They will be used for guided reading groups and guided math groups, and any other time we feel someone needs to wobble while they work!

    Thank you again for supporting our classroom. We have been truly blessed this year!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Smith

Wobble chairs, which are a type of flexible seating, will encourage my students to find the best seat for them to stay focused and productive throughout the day. My kids work in many areas around the room during math and language arts literacy time, and wobble chairs would provide comfortable spaces for them, especially for those who are able to better concentrate while moving. It has been said that comfortable students are engaged students, and I believe this is true! My class will be given the opportunity to make choices to change locations and positions as needed. They will have the freedom of movement to best suit their needs. Flexible seating encourages a sense of community by supporting children in their ability to share space and take turns. Collaboration becomes second nature when students are easily able to pair up and work in small groups, due to the seating arrangements. Wobble chairs help make learning fun!
