1st Year Teaching with my Wonderful Class

Funded Jul 23, 2019

The project has helped my students in many ways. It has provided flexible seating for my students, manipulatives that they need to learn, STEM supplies, and made a more welcoming classroom atmosphere. All of these different materials help them better focus in class and allow them to come to school in a more welcoming environment. This allows my students to be more prepared to learn and consistently keep them engaged in the lesson.

When the students first saw the materials, there first reaction was pure excitement. Many of my students come from low income homes and do not have the opportunity to have them at home with them. Being exposed to there materials in the classroom allows their mind to grow and become excited about learning! Many of them jumped with joy and their smiles shined bright.

The next steps for my classroom would be to provide my students with more engaging materials for the reading and math stations. As well as provide more flexible seating. The students greatly benefit from the flexible seating because it allows them to stay focused during the lesson. I hope to have more of this in the future. Once again, thank you so much for all of your help! Your have tremendously impacted my classroom for the better!”

With gratitude,
