Flexible Small Group Space!
Funded Dec 4, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donation of the standing desk and stools. The students have absolutely loved having the option to either stand or sit while they work. It's been incredible to see how they have embraced the new setup, using the desk and stools for both small group work and independent time.
When the students first saw the new desk in the classroom, their reactions were priceless. They were truly amazed and excited about this thoughtful addition to our space. It's made such a positive impact on their learning environment, and we are so grateful for your support.
This donation will continue to benefit students for years to come, helping them engage with their work in a way that suits their individual needs and preferences. Thank you again for your generosity and for helping to create a classroom that supports our students in such a meaningful way.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 9 other donors.Tablets for 3rd Graders!
Funded Aug 28, 2023Thank you so much for the tablets and cases! These have proved to be extremely beneficial in the classroom. With a larger class size this year, we needed additional tablets to help make our math centers work. Now, thanks to your generosity, we are able to have math centers run smoothly.
My students are so grateful to have the tablets to use during math centers. My third graders are able to practice their math facts on an app called XTraMath and also practice skills taught in the classroom on an app called Prodigy. They are able to navigate using the tablets independently and are engaged thoroughly due to your generous donation.
Both my students and myself are so appreciative of your support of our classroom. Thank you again.”

Prize Bin for Third Graders!
Funded May 9, 2023Thank you so much for helping to fill our class prize bin! Our students are motivated more than ever to earn tickets in hopes of winning a prize.
My third graders are eager to earn a ticket by participating often, showing kindness to others, listening, completing extra work at home, among many other things. When they first saw the prize bin, they were thrilled. They love to see the fully stocked prized bin!
Without donors like you, a fully stocked prized bin would not be possible. Thank you for your generosity!”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Foundation and 3 other donors.Tablets & Headphones for Third Graders!
Funded Dec 8, 2022Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the tablets and the headphones. These have proved to be extremely useful in the classroom. Before this donation, students were using small string headphones that often did not work. These headphones would get tangled and students would spend a significant amount of time untangling them. Now, students are able to rely on sturdy headphones to use everyday!
My students are so grateful to have the tablets and headphones to use during math and word work centers. They are able to navigate this center independently due to your generous donation.
Both my students and myself are so appreciative of your support of our classroom. Thank you again.”

Tablets for 3rd Graders!
Funded Nov 18, 2022Thank you SO much for the tablets and cases for my classroom. With your donation, we were able to implement an independent, technology based math and word work center. During the independent math center, students play a personalized math game called Prodigy or practice their math facts via an app on the tablet. During the independent word work center, students complete a lesson on TeLCI, a web based program that practices the comprehension skill of inferencing.
My students LOVE centers and especially love using the tablets. They look forward to rotating to the independent center where they can work on different skills. The tablets have been amazing so far because the students can click directly on the app or click directly on the saved website. My students know how to navigate these tablets and enjoy using them immensely.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my classroom and my students!”
