Social Emotional Learning
Funded Nov 29, 2023Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom project. The materials we received from this project have been instrumental in providing social emotional lessons in the classroom. The students are so engaged with the stories and activities planned to go along with the book. They love the opportunity to use the hands on activities as often as possible. It has also been very beneficial to refer back to different stories we have read in a moment when a student really needs it. For example, when feelings are becoming overwhelming we refer back to the "spots", this gives students the opportunity to make sense of what they are feeling.
Please know you generosity truly makes a difference in our classroom!”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 6 other donors.Let's Learn!
Funded Feb 14, 2023Thank you so much for contributing to this amazing project. The materials purchased have been incredibly helpful in giving my students more opportunities to learn.
Our reading program covers many big topics and these materials have given students additional materials to gather information and have more hands on experiences. The human body model gives a close up view of all the body systems we cover. The additional books about Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison have been instrumental in providing resources for our research project.
Please know you have helped me make my classroom a better place.”

Knowledge is a Seed That Grows When You Read
Funded Aug 12, 2022Thank you so much for your extremely generous donations to our classroom project! The students are loving all the new books. I even had some students from last years class come back to borrow some of the new books we received! Having books on topics that interest the students encourages a love of reading. Some of the titles have even pushed students out of their comfort zone and encouraged them to attempt higher leveled texts. Thank you for helping me to encourage a love of reading in our classroom!”

Remote Teaching Tools
Funded Dec 10, 2020Thank you so much for your generous donations to complete this product. I am so grateful to have had this project fully funded in such a short amount of time. Having an up to date computer to work with while teaching fully remote has been a complete game changer for myself and my entire class. My students immediately noticed a difference because they could see me much clearer. They also love that they are not waiting for things to load all the time and I can quickly share my screen with them during lessons. I am also able to view and grade assignments much quicker which allows me more time to spend on creating fun and engaging lessons for my students.”

Flexible Seating Fun
Funded Aug 5, 2020Thank you so much for all your generous donations! My classroom has been fully remote since the beginning of the year and has not yet had the chance to give the new seats a try. Even with the Covid restrictions in place I am hopeful we will be able to use the seats when we return. I now have a set of 10, so the students will be able to take turns using them weekly so they can be fully sanitized between. It will be a great option for the students because they will be able to use then in their designated space. I am staying forever optimistic that we will return before the end of the school year!”

Funded Oct 2, 2019Thank you so much for bringing our vision of buckets of brain games to life! All of the students have enjoyed trying out all of the new games and activities. Each morning the students enter our classroom excited to start their day working in small groups playing and experimenting with all the materials. They have all amazed me with their creativity and interest in trying out new games. The students are ready and motivated to get to work after having the opportunity to activate their minds! Thank you for enhancing our classroom with all of your generosity.”
