  • Surfing in Second

    Funded Mar 31, 2022

    Flexible seating is a great way to allow students fun and different seating options in the classroom. I feel strongly about allowing my students to work in a setting in which they feel comfortable and productive. Having a variety of seating options in the classroom lets my students incorporate movement into their learning, which is very beneficial for certain learning styles. It is shown to keep young minds alert and focused by increasing oxygen flow to the brain.

    My students were thrilled when I introduced this new flexible seating option, Surf Desks. They were so popular that we had to develop a rotation schedule so that they could be used equitably. The kids used them during center time, independent reading time, carpet time, and free time. These Surf Desks were the perfect addition to our learning environment. Thank you for your generosity!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Floyd

  • STEAM Storytime

    Funded Oct 29, 2021

    Thank you so much for making this project possible for my second grade students! We recently held a STEAM Genre Reading Challenge for the second graders at Cypress Ridge Elementary. Students were challenged to read one book from each of the STEAM genres (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) as well as 4-5 fiction books. After reading each book, students completed a book review to earn tickets to spend at our Genre Celebration festival!

    With the addition of these new STEAM books, my students had a multitude of books to choose from to complete the challenge. Students were introduced to new topics that they were not familiar with and have come to enjoy. It fills my teacher heart with joy to see my students discovering the love of reading and I am so thankful that you helped make this possible!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Floyd

    This classroom project was brought to life by Dollar General Literacy Foundation and 3 other donors.
Now, more than ever, children need diverse literature. My students love to read, but often struggle to identify with the stories due to the lack of diverse characters. They need to see themselves, their families, and their cultures reflected in the stories they read. The books I selected discuss defying gender roles, show diverse families, tell the stories of children in a variety of cultures, and celebrate characters of color. The availability of diverse literature is also a good way to expose young children to other cultures unlike their own. It opens up discussions about important topics of equality and tolerance and promotes positive attitudes toward diversity from a young age.
