Math Mobile Easel
Funded May 12, 2023My students were so excited when first entering the classroom, and seeing our mobile math easel. They couldn't believe the easel was for them! Due to the fact that the easel is highly mobile, it translated directly into classroom performance. My lessons can be carried out more effectively when the easel is arranged and rearranged effortlessly throughout the classroom.
The swivel of the easel allows my students the freedom to shift focus throughout the room. My students who have ADD or ADHD, commented when first using the easel they no longer had to sit still for the entire class period. They love modeling work on the easel. They absolutely love it! I cannot wait to create pair and small group work with the ease of our easel. Thank-you so much, we are very grateful for your generous donation.”

Funded Apr 28, 2021My students were so excited when first entering the classroom, and seeing the node chairs. They couldn't believe the chairs were for them! Due to the fact that the node chairs are highly mobile, I believe it will translate directly into classroom performance. My lessons can be carried out more effectively when seating is arranged and rearranged effortlessly.
The swivel seat gives my students the freedom to shift focus throughout the room. And, since the personal surface swivels in tandem, items remain at their fingertips. My students who have ADD or ADHD, commented when first using the chairs, they no longer had to sit still for the entire class period, like in a traditional desk, they had the ability to "wiggle" in their chairs, which in turn, helped them concentrate for a longer amount of time. They absolutely love them!
The node chairs also provide subtle, but clear sight lines to myself, their peers, and the whiteboard. My students no longer have to "bob and weave" in order to view instruction on our whiteboard. I cannot wait to start pair and small group work with the ease of our new node chairs. Thank-you so much, we are very grateful for your generous donation.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Optimum.Computer Monitor
Funded Mar 29, 2021The extra computer monitor has already been used to view my students participating in virtual learning. Instead of me instructing and viewing my students on the same tiny laptop screen. The extra monitor provided assistance for me to stay organized, and also provided the students an opportunity to all be participants in their learning. This way I am able to see all the students in my class at one time and on one screen. I no longer have to scroll through all my students as I teach. I have been able to see everyone! Thank-you so much for this generous donation!!”
