  • Displayed and Organized!

    Funded Sep 6, 2023

    What a great way to start the new year! I am so grateful for these fantastic gifts. My students will love seeing their read-aloud or mentor texts displayed and materials organized. I am thankful for a teacher projection table that will give me the space needed for my displayed materials while doubling as a one-on-one conference space when required. Thank you so much for your kind donations!”

  • Flexible Seating!

    Funded Nov 26, 2019

    You all made it happen!!!!

    Thank you to everyone that has donated to this project and made it a reality!! Thank you all for helping my little ones get the flexible seating they need and deserve! They are going to be so excited when they see the floor seats, wobble cushions and balance balls! This will help my students find those comfortable spots that will make them feel warm and cozy in the inside while ultimately helping enhance their reading experiences and focus! Thankful to family, friends and kind strangers that have taken an interest in helping my little ones! I'm deeply thankful and words fall short of expressing my gratitude!”

    Mrs. Acosta

I would like to provide my students with flexible comfortable seating during small group and whole group instruction, teamwork and independent work. I provide my students with the freedom to sit around the classroom during independent reading and find a nook that is comfortable and conducive to helping them focus during reading workshop. Some students thrive while sitting and reading at their desk. Other students need to move around and find a spot they like which usually ends up being sitting on the floor. The floor seats, wobble cushions and balance balls would help my students have a comfortable seating arrangement that would ultimately help enhance their reading experience and focus while improving their academic learning. Also, flexible seating provides them with some control over their learning and furthers their independence! During teamwork the floor chairs will help my students focus and be comfortable while participating in group club reading, partner and group discussions. My long-term plan is eventually to bring flexible seating to all the subjects. Please help me help my little ones find that special comfortable spot that will make them feel warm and cozy in the inside and transfer that feeling to their learning!
