Funded May 4, 2021I can't thank you enough for funding this project. Right now we have so many restrictions that much of the "fun" of school has been lost. The students aren't allowed to enjoy reading on my window seats or bean bag chairs as they are too hard to sanitize. These inflatable hammocks offer a wonderful solution.
I can't tell you how excited the students and staff were about this resource for our school. At this time teachers can borrow the set to take their students outside to learn in a way that allows for plenty of spacing and even mask breaks. It has been such a treat to get out of our crowded-feeling classrooms and enjoy a taste of freedom again.
I'm also using these to take classes out for reading breaks. It gives the students a chance to look forward to their DEAR time (Drop Everything And Read). I strongly believe that if we can make the experience of reading exciting we remove some of the mental barriers that children have against it. Once they change their outlook then they are open to really enjoy reading.
This projects is helping our school in so many ways. Thank you again for all of your support!”
With gratitude,
