  • Classroom Learning Coming Alive Through Room Transformations!

    Funded Nov 2, 2023

    My students were absolutely thrilled when they saw the first room transformation. Their eyes lite up with excitement and joy. They got even more excited when I explain that throughout the year we would be learning and having fun in different themes.

    Thank you so very much for allowing my students to have an amazing time learning and reviewing skills in a fun atmosphere. They had the best time reviewing math and reading during the day. They did not want to stop and wanted to go back, so we did at the end of the week.

    I love motivating students through fun and exciting ways. One of my favorite ways to excite and motivate students is through room transformations. I love to transform the classroom into a new world that gets the kids pumped and excited. So far, I have integrated meaningful content into thematic days like a Fear Factor, Monsters Inc, Toy Story, and Construction. I am looking forward to so many more.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Dorbeck

  • Morning Choice STEAM Activities

    Funded Nov 28, 2022

    My students were absolutely thrilled when they first saw the morning choice activities. Their eyes lite up with excitement and joy. They got even more excited when I explain how they would get a chance to explore them everyday.

    The morning choice activities are the best part of their day. Every day first thing in the morning, they get to choose which activity they want to complete. They love all of them so much and I truly enjoy seeing their excitement and creativity. The materials are engaging and challenging all at the same time.

    Morning choice has increased attendance in my classroom, because my students do not want to miss out on that time. It starts their day in a positive way and gets those creative juices following. I will continue to do morning choice everyday and plan to add more activities to our collection to continue to foster teamwork and creativity with my students.”

    Funded Oct 11, 2021

    We would like to thank you so much for your generous donations. The materials you provided allow my students to come to school each day and work together and play to build relationships with new friends. This is a fantastic way to start our day in a calm and inviting manner. When we unboxed the materials, the joy and excitement in the students were absolutely amazing. They are so grateful and thankful, and just love all the choices they have each day. We will continue to enjoy the materials for the rest of the year. Thank you for bringing joy, laughter, and excitement into our day.”

I plan to use the materials every day in my classroom. As the students come in each morning, they will select a morning choice STEM activity to get their creative juices flowing. Students will be able to choose from a variety of STEM activities. They can explore with snap circuit kit, build with Legos and magnetic blocks, challenge themselves with brainteaser puzzles, or be creative with art supplies. Morning choice activities foster a growth mindset, challenge students to try new things, and excites them to come to school everyday. With morning choice activities, students are truly engaged and in charge of their learning.
