Calm the Wiggles
Funded Jun 17, 2022Thank you so much for the contributions to my classroom. Our learning environment is a pleasant place to be. My 2nd graders love being able to choose their learning space and have comfortable learning tools to work on. The surfer desks are the favorite thing in my class. They love having a comfortable seat and then a hard surface to write on. I have found a lot of success giving them the choice and freedom to choose where they learn.
One of the other things you helped me provide my students were LCD writing screens. My students have loved being able to use these during our math block. They love being able to write on something other than paper.
Thank you so much again for your contribution to my classroom. I couldn't do what I do without your support.
In Gratitude,

Funded Jan 18, 2022Thank you so much for helping our class get new headphones and books for our classroom library.
We use our headphones everyday. Students use them while working on a computer program to learn about reading, on their level. This way our class can be a quiet place to learn and everyone can hear what's on their own computer. Students are also learning responsibility by taking care of their own headphones. They need to keep track of them and put them away so their headphones do not break.
Students have independent reading everyday. They are able to trade the books and read from the library anytime they would like.
Our students have benefitted so much from the tools you have given to us. Thank you so so much.”

Funded Jul 30, 2019Thank you so much for our new classroom library. Our kids read everyday! They read in partners to help each other learn new words. We have seen most of my class improve their reading since the beginning of the year. And several students are reading at least 10 words faster than they were at the beginning of the year. I have seen every single student come over to the library and find joy in reading.
During the day my students also get to read with high school students. They get to read and explore new topics everyday by reading to the high school students. The high schools students get to help my 2nd graders love reading.
Thank you so much for your generosity in helping my 2nd graders get new books for our classroom!”
