Funded Aug 16, 2019Thank you once again for you kind donations to this project. My students have continued to love the items in our classroom and get great excitement out of picking where they would like to sit.
Currently, we are using the flexible seats during independent reading which is the last hour of our day. I currently am using them as an incentive to collect individual Dojo points which is behavior management app. My students gain points throughout the day for being responsible, respectful, kind, following directions and for coming to school. We also lose points for not doing the things listed above. We have decided as a class that we have to get 7 points by the afternoon in order to be able to pick our seats for independent reading. My kids love being able to make choices for themselves and they are thriving during this time.
I often see my most active students sitting on the yoga mats and their bodies are still (for maybe the first time all day) and they are engaged in actually reading a text. One of my students loves books with songs because he is not able to read yet, he is also my most active child. I love to "catch" him laying on the rug or lounging on the bench singing away as he "reads" his books and sometimes he will be reading with a partner. It's been exciting to see this students and all my students thrive using these fun seats.
Our independent reading time has become a time to really engage in our texts and a time to make choices for ourselves that help us learn better. Our goal for the end of the year will be to use the flexible seating throughout the day. We are looking forward to that and hoping we can get there. Thanks so your generous and kind donations my students are able to make choices for themselves that benefit their learning.”

Supplies All Around
Funded Dec 3, 2019Thank you very much for your kind donation. I greatly appreciate the support and kindness and I know my students do as well. They are always very grateful when they know someone has helped to provide them with what we need for school. Your generous donation will be well utilized as we are in desperate need of some "refreshing" with some of our most loved items in our room, so thank you once again.”
With gratitude,
