Funded Dec 21, 2023Thank you so much for your generous donations! Your donations helped bring six new wobble stools to our classroom. The students have really been enjoying our new stools. We use them daily. They have become the most used seating option in our flexible seating environment. The students love that they can move and wiggle while doing their work. The stools help keep the students focused, encourage mobility, help students build core strength, promote positive posture and add fun to our daily routines!”

Funded Jul 14, 2022Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom. You have helped to add options to our flexible seating environment with our new floor seats. The students absolutely LOVE them! Our students have really been enjoying all of the new math and science Montessori materials as well! It has been great to watch them explore liquids with the glass pitchers and they have had so much fun matching letter sounds using the alphabet acorn game. One of their favorite activities is the dinosaur color sorting activity.
These experiences would not have been possible if not for your generosity.”

Funded Apr 14, 2022Thank you so much for your generous donations! The students have really been enjoying all the new manipulatives we were able to bring into the classroom because of your generosity.

The kids love finding letters on the pop-it toy, you can find them fishing for letters using our new fishing game, or matching and connecting letters using our alligator connecting activity... and the best part is, they are developing their motor skills while they are playing! Thanks again for your continued support!”

A Cozy, New Carpet Area!
Funded Mar 14, 2022Thank you so much for your generosity. Thanks to you, we now have a beautiful new carpet for our classroom environment! The children really enjoy gathering on our new carpet during Circle Time. We read stories on the carpet daily. On any given day, you can see the students using their Montessori materials on the carpet, engaging in group discussions, playing educational games and reading to one another. The carpet quickly became a favorite gathering place for independent learning, small group instruction and whole class lessons. Thanks again for your continued support!”

Staying Engaged With Flexible Seating
Funded Aug 22, 2021I cannot thank you enough for your generosity. The students are really enjoying the new materials for our flexible seating model. After a year of being confined to desks, it is great to see them walking around the classroom, getting their energy out and being able to choose which way they learn best. Walk into our classroom on any given day and you will see our young learners sitting on small Adirondack chairs, tire seats, and using wobble cushions, lap desks and individual floor desks. I would not have been able to create such a unique learning experience for my students without your generosity. These materials will be used for years to come. The students and I am forever grateful!”

Help My Little Learners Have Their Supplies At Their Fingertips
Funded Sep 25, 2020Thank you so much for your generous contributions. Due to COVID, we are no longer able to have communal school supplies. Each student now must have their own supplies at their desks. Your donations allowed me to purchase individual supply bins for each of my students. These bins are kept at their desks and help keep the student's supplies organized and out of their way. The students are now able to have their crayons, pencils, scissors and notebooks at their fingertips. They are able to quickly take out the materials they need and they really enjoy having a supply bin that is their own. Thank you again for your generosity and thoughtfulness!”
