Think Tank
Funded Nov 18, 2023Thank you for your kindness and generosity shown to my afterschool students with your donation to my Donors Choose Think Tank project.
These hands-on STEM games and manipulatives stimulate our student's curiosity and help develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills. These materials have been used by all of our students - weather it's during their free time once they've finished their homework or as part of our Game Club and STEAM classes. I've enjoyed teaching my students the game of Othello, it's one of my all time favorite games and hope it will become one of their favorite games. The kids have loved racing each other with the Race the Clock Shape Game, not only does this bring them tons of fun, but it also supports their motor skills and sensory skills.
Your kindness and generosity to my project for my students will be forever remembered. Our afterschool program helps keep our students safe, fed, and engaged with fun hands-on learning activities that support school day learning. You've helped provide materials that will support out of school time for years to come. Thank you!”

Funded Jan 3, 2023Thank you for your donation to my Ready, Sit, Read Donors Choose project. These flex seats will give my sweet, caring, and kind students comfortable seating options while they join us for a few more hours in our afterschool program.
These seats have been used for students during our homework hour, during their enrichment class, and anytime they need a break from a regular chair.
They have been over the moon with their new seat/chair cushions and the giant comfy pillow! I already know I'll have to have a sign-up sheet for the giant comfy pillow. :o)”

Ready to Sit
Funded Nov 29, 2022Thank you for your donation to our Ready to Sit project! My afterschool students were excited to see these amazing gifts in their out-of-school time classrooms.
They love the wobble cushions and the giant comfy pillow. They use the cushions when sitting at the tables while working on their homework or while they are listening to their teacher, they take them to our reading corner, they use them on the floor when they are working on projects, and we have one on the chair in our Peace Area corner. My students absolutely love the giant comfy pillow - it's been a fun addition to our reading nook.
These flexible seating items are great additions to our classroom spaces which help our students with their self-management, self-awareness, social awareness, and responsible decision-making skills.”
