  • Flexible Seating Continue

    Funded Apr 7, 2022

    Thank you again for making our project happen. There are no words to describe how happy and excited students were when they finally received their new couch! They couldn't wait to put it together. We did have some struggles doing so but it made our couch and experience even more valuable. It actually strengthen our sense of community in the classroom. Thanks to your kind help and generosity, we are one step closer to making our classroom more cozy and homey. Students like it so much they've even asked if they could get another one!

    Thank you so much also for the buzzers! They make learning so much fun !!! You should have seen the look on my students when they competed against each other!! Learning French has never been so much fun, easy, and natural.

    My students and I are so grateful to you. Teaching could be a challenge sometimes; but, the tools you help us with really make my experience as a teacher way better. It is so good to see students feel safe and happy in the classroom and that's thanks to your kindness and generosity. Much love, respect, and blessings to you and your loved ones!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Solórzano

  • Flexible Seating for a Maximum Learning!

    Funded Nov 10, 2021

    You have made a big difference in my French class. Students were so surprised and excited when they first saw the chairs and stress balls! Now, students hurry to their classroom to be the first ones to use their new comfortable seats. They sometimes gently fight over it, that's how much really love their new seats. They are even asking for more! Flexible seatings really fosters learning in the classroom. Using stress balls was also a great addition to this project. Every time class starts, students ask for their stress ball so they can feel ready to learn. Our next project is to build our dream library/reading corner in our classroom, where students can continue to learn French in a welcoming environment. Thank you so much again for your kind support!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Solórzano

  • Learn French Through Art!

    Funded Nov 22, 2019

    Thank you for contributing to this project. Students were beautifully surprised when the package arrived in the classroom. They were very grateful and eager to start working in this art project.

    During the activity, students were exited to learn about art and how to portray themselves. This project was very fun for students and very engaging. They were proud of the final result, even students who did not believe they could create something beautiful.

    We are honored that you believed in us and gave us the tools to explore something beyond what is expected in a language class.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Solórzano

The materials needed will help my students create colorful self-portraits inspired by the French painter, Henri Matisse. During the semester where they learn how to introduce themselves in French, students will have the chance to learn about the fauvism movement and its impact on the French culture. The acetate paper will be placed on top of a student picture to help them draw their face accurately using a permanent marker. The oil pastels are key to bring life to their self-portraits, following the rules of Matisse's techniques. This project will give my students an opportunity to learn and practice French by producing art, making connections with other content area classes, and using their creativity to express themselves freely. The enjoyment this project provides will increase students' motivation to learn more about the French language and culture.
