  • Mentoring With Books

    Funded Oct 5, 2022

    I cannot thank you enough for helping to stock my classroom with lots of books that students will get so much out of! Teachers can’t do what we do without the support of people like you!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! My kids thank you, too!”

    With gratitude,

  • Student Engagement Through Seating

    Funded Dec 4, 2019

    Thank you so much for helping me purchase the flexible seating options for my classroom! My students were excited to see all of the different options! I have used them with all 6 of my classes (3-5 graders) and they love them. I don't have pictures of the floor desks, but we started using those two weeks ago. They were a big hit with the students who have tried them out! We don't have enough for an entire group so students alternate each time and are fine with that. They get so excited when it is there turn. It has made a huge difference in their focus level, which has made a difference in their work. Hopefully we will be back in school soon, so we can continue to use them. Thanks again!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Hutchison

Flexible seating has been shown to increase student engagement and achievement by allowing students to choose what works best for them. The options I will have for the students will allow them to spread out either in a cushioned chair, a balance ball, or on the floor. Because each child will be in the option that is best for him/her, I am confident that I will see a marked improvement in the quality of writing produced. Right now, my classroom consists of regular desks and chairs, and I would like to give my students more options for seating. I have students move to the floor with clipboards, and even that makes a difference in their learning. Imagine what they will do when they have even more options!
