A New Rug and New Stools!
Funded Sep 30, 2024Thank you so much for your generous donation! When I first saw that people had donated to my project, I was happy to know that the students would be able to have another place to read and work in partnerships. The children were happy that the project had been funded and patiently waited for the materials. The day the rug and stools arrived, they were overjoyed that they were finally here! As a result of your donation, our carpet and new stools have been a huge success. When it's independent reading time, the students race to find a spot on the rug to get comfortable with their books. During partner work, the rug is a popular spot for students to sit and work. Our class also loves that we now have more stools so that more students are able to sit and work at our table. To see the delight and excitement in the students' eyes and their appreciation of having a comfortable, cozy meeting spot in the room is such a reward. Instead of sitting at their desks, they love finding a space to sit on the rug with classmates or finding a spot at the table to work with a partner or complete their work. I appreciate all that you have done to make these materials available to our class and to give students new and updated spaces to read and work!”

This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Drive-In and 7 other donors.Mindfulness Seating!
Funded Sep 22, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donation!
When I first saw that people had given to my project, I was excited to know that the students would be able to have another choice for where they practiced their mindfulness. The children were happy that the project had been funded and patiently waited for the materials. The day the boxes arrived, they were overjoyed that the mats were finally here!
As a result of your donation, our Mindfulness Mats have been a huge success. Each time we use our mats, our classroom is transformed into a calming space. The mats along with the students' mindfulness practices serve to help them focus their attention to the present moment and cultivate an awareness of their inner world.
To see the delight and excitement in the students' eyes and their appreciation of having their own mat is such a reward. Instead of sitting at their desks, they love finding a quiet space in our classroom to place their mat, close their eyes, and breathe deeply to our relaxing music.
Presently, my students are engaged in work with The Contentment Foundation. I have been able to create a routine for our class so that mindfulness feels like a ritual and this ritual always starts with getting your mat!
I appreciate all that you have done to make these materials available to our class and to give students a new space to be mindful!”
