  • Have a Seat and Let's Learn!

    Funded Dec 22, 2021

    My students love having the freedom to move around the room to work in areas that are comfortable and inviting. I have many different types of learners, and your donation has allowed those who prefer to sit on wobble stools to have a seat that fits their individual needs. As you can see in the photos, we use the stools at a whiteboard table for small group math instruction, and we use them at a low coffe table for them to use for both math and English Language Arts classes - and they love them! Thank you for your support of my kids!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wood

  • Have a Seat!

    Funded Oct 15, 2021

    Thank you so much for your donations to my first "Have a Seat" project! The kids love the smaller seating that fits at our "coffee" table. They do their writing and math independent work at this table, so it is nice that they now have seats that fit the table and make it more comfortable for them to work.

    Our room is a constantly fluid environment that I adjust to meet the needs of my variety of learners. I truly do not know the full impact that this has on my students, but, I am amazed at the difference in student attitudes this year, since I have changed to a more homey, comfortable learning environment. The students are so engaged and willing to participate, and I can't help but feel like it is because of things provided by donations from people like you. Thank you so very much! Your gift mattered!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wood

  • So, That's Why We have Seasons?

    Funded Mar 21, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding this project! We had an amazing time learning about the seasons with the Roper Mountain Science team. Our kids really got a clearer understanding about why we have seasons because of the interactive (yes, even virtual learners can have interactive learning!) lesson they provided!

    This virtual field trip was so impactful to my class because my kids had been learning on a computer all year. There were so few opportunities for them to have a different experience than the one I could offer them on the computer. Brining in different teachers who had some really cool demonstrations made learning so much more interesting for them and let them feel like even they could go on a field trip and have fun with school!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Wood

    This classroom project was brought to life by Stavros Niarchos Foundation and one other donor.
One of the best ways students learn about science is by doing it! When they are digging in dirt and finding bugs and worms, you can bet the questions are going to start! Why does this worm ball up when I pick it up? How do these bugs get down there? So many questions or opportunities to explore and learn! Gardening is such a win-win project for fourth-grade students. They get to have fun playing in the dirt, learning about life cycles and ecosystems, and beautifying their school all at the same time. I would love to offer a Spring Gardening Opportunity for my students once they are able to return to class in person. They have been separated from their peers for so long that they are going to have to rebuild bonds that were broken last year. What a fun and educational way to do this!
