  • Creating an Inviting Learning Space With Rug and Bean Bags

    Funded Nov 2, 2018

    I would like to thank you all for your generous contributions to our "Creating and Inviting Learning Space with Rug and Bean Bags". These flexible seating items have allowed students to learn in different ways aside from the traditional desk seats. Flexible seating allows students to choose the best seating option that works for them to help create a positive learning environment in our classroom.

    The donations have also helped us create a flexible seating area where we can meet as a group each day to learn and share ideas. Students get the opportunity to participate in various peer sharing activities and turn and talk during read a-louds. The students can switch their seats weekly, which they really love. Students are constantly telling one another how much they are enjoying their new seating options, and which ones help them be five-star learners. One student has learned that they work best when they are able to pick a spot in the room and work in a quiet area. As their teacher, I've noticed that their time on task and attention to a given assignment has increased immensely.

    Your donations are being put to great use and I thank you, again, for helping my students live up to their fullest potential by meeting their individualized learning needs.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Simpson

  • Supplies for Success!

    Funded Oct 31, 2018

    Words cannot describe how thankful my students are for each and everyone of you. Your donations to our "Supplies for Success" truly put a smile on our faces. My students were so excited to receive new school supplies for the school year. The students could not wait to get their hands on the wobble cushions during their workstation time. The flexible seating allowed them to feel comfortable while working with their classmates. The phonemic and word work activities helped to aid my students in their daily performance and they were so proud of their improvement.

    I am thankful for you all helping my classroom and helping us prepare for the next school year. My students were so thankful and happy to have new school supplies to help them to grow in the right direction. The children were so ecstatic and overcome with so much joy.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Simpson

    This classroom project was brought to life by The Rebuild Texas Fund and 2 other donors.
My first grade students will use the new carpet and flex-space bean bags for everyday small group time as well as be used for partner literacy and math station activities. They will also congregate on the carpet during whole group mini lessons prior to guided math and reading. The donations to the carpet and flex-space bean bags project will improve my classroom by providing a comfortable work space and flexible seating for my students to learn, create and inspire each other. Our classroom is smaller than most and the new carpet and flex space bean bags will be life changing for my students by allowing them to have an alternative space to work other than their desks.
