Help Our Classroom Feel Welcoming
Funded Oct 14, 2024First off, thank you so much for your donations. We just got the rug in yesterday and it has brightened up the space so much! The students love it!
Our new flexible seating options have helped give students comfortable space to sit to do their work and there is no more fighting over the limited seats we had before.
Students love the calming strips and use them daily.
We had to change our order slightly due to the cushions being out of stock, but it worked out for the best. I was able to order some drum pads and drumsticks and I'm excited to start a drum circle with the students next month. We will be working on learning rhythm, but also learning to work together to make one beat and one sound. This will be a great way to help with awareness and learning teamwork, listening skills, respect and so much more.
We even had a little left over and I was able to order some snacks for our classroom to help my students get through their afternoons.”
With gratitude,

Funded Feb 4, 2024Although we are still waiting for many of our items the headphones arrived and have already helped so much!!
They got here just in time for our monthly reading assessment and it felt amazing to allow students to pick out working headphones to take their test. No more complaints of only one earbud working, crackling sounds, or other student devices bothering them. Four of my students made the super reader list by going up 35+ points in just a month!!!
Our math bingo games just arrived in time for fun Friday. That's a day where we play fun learning games as a class, student turn in their earned tickets from the week to purchase items from our store and student have a change to earn free time. They are so excited to play bingo tomorrow!!
And we have three no seating options too!!! No more fighting over bean bags. Kids work so much better when they are comfortable and with flexible seating they have this options.
Thank you again for all our wonderful donors. The students are patiently waiting for our new library books!”

Hawthorne Dragons Redirector Room
Funded Jan 8, 2021Thank you all so very much! All the beautiful supplies came in, and now that we are back in person, it is so wonderful to use them. Obviously, some items are not as easily sanitized, and so those will be kept for when it is safe to use them, but the children have access to many of the items that can be washed. My room is no longer bare but bright and colorful, and I have so many options now for students who are dysregulated and needing some comfort toys to play with. I love the fidget chair bands, and the kids love them too! They can now sit and wiggle their feet with the resistance bands while we work on assignments. One little boy said, "I remember this room from last year, but it wasn't this much fun!"
Again, Thank you all so very much!”
