Funded Aug 22, 2019My class and I love the materials you helped us purchase! Every morning we use our easel for Fundations, making my students better readers. Math is always done on our easel for our mini-lesson. The passion my students have for "playing" teacher comes through when working on our easel. I let them work collaboratively using the easel. My chairs are an incentive for my students to always stay on task. They're pretty comfortable, so I let some students sit on them at the carpet while I am teaching each day.
My students could not believe the materials. When they're behavior falls a little short, I always remind them the chairs will get brought home with me and the easel will go to another teacher. They quickly change how they are acting.
In the future, I would love to do a project for stools, seat cushions, bins, and comfortable benches. This year, my students need comfortable seating options or they start to lose their focus. Another interest is in guided reading. It never hurts to advance in reading levels and I would love to have those materials. I will always strive to provide more for my students needs so they can be successful in my classroom and future classrooms!”
With gratitude,
