Creating a Welcoming 5th Grade Classroom
Funded Oct 14, 2021Thank you all so much for your generous donations. Seeing how these materials have transformed our classrooms has been amazing. Varied lighting and flexible seating has not only provided students with a warmer environment, but has also provided differentiation in what learning looks like. Oftentimes, students use our floor cushions to sit at a lowered table, rather than their desks. Especially during reading time, when the different lighting is used, students are more engaged in their learning as the environment feels calm, warm, and welcoming. Thank you for all of the kindness and support.”

Differentiate Learning with Classroom Computers!
Funded Dec 17, 2019Thank you so much for your generous donations. In just a few months, these computers have made such an impact in our classroom. This technology has provided our class with a further access to learning with specific websites and tools.
When we first shared with the class that we'd be getting computers, the students started cheering out of excitement. Once they began using the computers to read books at their level on RAZ-Kids, play math games and use various math websites like Khan Academy for further learning, and use what they learn in technology with coding in the classroom, they were thrilled.
Websites such as RAZ-Kids and Khan Academy help to provide individualized support and help to deepen learning for students at their own independent levels. Students in our class love having interactive books, books that can be read as an audiobook where they can follow along, and have comprehension questions attached. Specifically students speak English as a second language, there are books in other languages that students can use, while also using English books at their independent level. These computers have also helped students level books in our library and research books that they are interested in ordering for our classroom library.
These computers have made such an impact to our classroom so far, and I can't wait to see all of the amazing things they continue to do for our students. Thank you so much again for all of your help!!!”

Additionally, there are a few students who struggle in writing when it comes to planning and organizing their ideas. However, when provided a computer, they were able to write their ideas on the page and complete their essay draft.
