  • Restocking for Outdoor Recess: Part 2

    Funded Jul 26, 2024

    Thank you again for helping to fund my project "Restocking for Outdoor Recess: Part 2." Because of your generosity, the students at my school now have access to volleyballs, soccer balls, playground balls, and wiffle balls. Having access to a variety of recess equipment helps to keep children engaged and active during this less structured time in the school day. And, when children have things to keep them engaged and active, there is less downtime for "problem behaviors" to occur!

    From the moment these items arrived at our school, the students were SO excited. They waited in anticipation for them to be unpacked and wanted to use them immediately. At this time, many items are being used on a daily basis. Other items are being stored in my classroom so that they can be pulled out as more equipment is needed.

    Without your help, this project would have never been possible. Thank you again for bringing excitement into our school. I KNOW that every item will be well-used and well-loved!”

  • Accidents Happen: Part II

    Thank you so much for your donation and for supporting my project, "Accidents Happen: Part II."

  • Code and Go: A Mouse Adventure

    Funded Jan 4, 2024

    Thank you so much for donating to my project, "Code and Go: A Mouse Adventure." With your help, my students now have access to five complete sets of Code and Go Robot Mice. These sets allow students to complete device-free coding challenges while developing problem-solving, turn-taking, and social skills.

    From the moment the materials were unpacked, students were extremely excited. They immediately began asking when they could use the materials. So, of course, we had to use them right away! Students were given basic directions to help them get started, but their creativity really took off from there! By the end of the class period, groups were setting up complex tracks for their mice to follow. Some groups even began to combine items to make even larger challenges for their mice. Smiles were seen from ear to ear across the classroom.

    Thank you again for helping to bring exciting learning opportunities to the students in my classroom. We have even let some other classrooms share our new mice, which spread the joy even further. I know that these coding sets will be well-used and well-loved for years to come!”

  • Let's Regulate Our Senses!

    Funded Sep 6, 2023

    Thank you again for helping to fund my project "Let's Regulate Our Senses!" With your help, the students in my classroom now have access to a sensory-friendly lamp and several different types of alternative seating options - a rolling chair, a bean bag chair, and padded floor/seat cushions. Items like these allow my students to move, wiggle, and be more comfortable while completing their work. This has been a huge help for many of my students and has helped to increase student focus across the school day.

    From the moment these materials arrived in my classroom, my students were SO excited. They waited in anticipation for them to be unpacked and wanted to use them immediately. In fact, the seating options have become SO popular that we now have to have a rotating list to keep track of who gets to choose their seating option first! It is so nice to see so many smiling faces and to watch my students enjoy learning.

    Without your help, this project would have never been possible. Thank you again for bringing excitement into my classroom. I KNOW that each item will be well-used and well-loved by my current students and by many more students in the years to come!”

  • "Building" Our Skills With Plus Plus Blocks

    Funded Jul 22, 2022

    Thank you again for helping to fund my project "Building Our Skills with Plus Plus Blocks." Because of your generosity, my students now have access to a HUGE assortment of Plus Plus blocks, a building material with endless possibilities! Using Plus Plus blocks, students have been able to review simple reading and math skills in a fun way. Additionally, they have had chances to use their imaginations to design their own unique creations! Because these materials don't require pencils or paper, students often don't even realize that they are learning!

    From the moment the Plus Plus blocks arrived in my classroom, my students were SO excited. They waited in anticipation for them to be unpacked and wanted to use them immediately. At this time, the blocks are available for use on a daily basis and students use them often!

    Without your help, this project would have never been possible. Thank you again for bringing excitement into my classroom with the help of these materials. I KNOW that they will be well-used and well-loved by my current students and by many more students in the years to come!”
