  • Interactive Learning in ENL

    Funded Nov 1, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to enhance technology use in the ENL classroom. The students have truly benefited from the interactive board, which they use daily to engage with their lessons. Previously, students were engaging in lessons on google slides on my laptop screen. Due to your generosity, the students are now able to see the lessons on a larger screen which is the LG Stan By Me.

    Students are able to directly engage with the board and use it just like a smart board! The students are thrilled to be able to touch the screen and move different pieces of our lessons and to help build their understanding of the english language.

    The ENL students are happy to use this technology to build their literacy skills. Your support has made a significant impact on their learning experience!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Nicola

  • Enhancing Learning With Flexible Seating

    Funded Aug 14, 2019

    Thank you all so much for donating to my project! IT means so much to me. My students are loving all of the flexible seating options that they get to use on a daily basis. Besides having the option of choosing where to do their work, they also are learning how to respect each other and to take turns while using the seating. We are learning how to share the seating and maybe letting a different student use one seat one day and they will use it the next.

    The students have been working in book clubs and in research groups so far in this school year. They have been using the different seating options to help them meet and discuss the book they were currently reading or the topic they have been researching. The seating has also been put to great use with our chrome books. The students were so happy and still are happy to have all of these materials in our classroom. They have told me that it makes learning easier for them and that they cant picture a day without using them. I sometimes have to tell the students to give someone else a chance because they love it so much.

    Thanks again everyone and I look forward to possibly putting some more projects on here to get some supplies my students need. Love you all!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Nicola

Flexible seating is a way to give my students options in how they complete their independent and group work. Some students enjoy laying out on the floor to complete assignments, while others prefer to sit on stools with a clipboard. Giving students options of where to complete their work gives them a sense of ownership. Students feeling a sense of ownership in the classroom is essential to an effective classroom community. Students can choose to sit on the floor with a clipboard, use a lap desk, lay on the floor with a pillow, or sit on a stool. Giving them options makes them want to complete their work. Students are more engaged when they get to choose where they will work best. They seem to be less distracted when they make this choice. They want to be successful and know that they made the right choice. Having flexible seating also teaches students problem solving skills. They will have to work it out with their peers if more than one student choose the same spot. Overall, flexible seating will help students gain ownership in the classroom and keep them engaged in their work everyday.
