Creating a Calm Classroom
Funded Jul 8, 2021My students and I are so grateful to have received materials to help us create a calm classroom environment. We have learned how to take deep breaths using our breathing ball, relaxed on our beanbag with our stress balls when we need to take a moment, and enjoyed our new rug to settle down and learn together on. My favorite part about all this is that students are learning how to use the materials and then using them on their own! Social/emotional learning is a passion of mine and it is so wonderful to see students learning how to manage their emotions, appropriately talk to their peers, and take a break when they need to.
My students were excited to see new materials that could be used in our classroom. I am excited to use them year after year helping classrooms of students! Thank you all so much for your support and generous donations to help my little ones strive in the classroom. My littles and I are forever grateful for you!”

Using Our Hands To Learn
Funded Nov 13, 2019My students and I have been using the new resources that you so generously helped us receive for a few months now! We are using them to explore our environment and classroom. We have gotten our hands dirty by playing in pretend snow, colored rice, and water beads. This helps us use our hands to learn!
My students reacted positively when they first saw the materials. They were so excited for me to get them opened up to use in the classroom. Our new sensory bin is easy to use and clean, so I am able to switch out materials more often than before. The students utilize these materials every day, and we are so very grateful for them!
My next steps within this classroom project are to teach students to expand their learning by using their senses in the world around them. Play in the dirt, splash in the puddles, and above all, see the world! We love everything that you have made possible for us and are so very grateful for your donation and well... YOU!”
