  • Creative and Innovative Learning for Everyone

    Funded Apr 3, 2021

    I can not begin to express my gratitude to you for your generosity. My students have greatly benefited from all of the resources that you were able to supply our classroom with. Our wiggle stools have been very beneficial at keeping my students focused during small group instruction. They are able to rock back and forth and sit on the stool which aid in their focus. Our floor cushions are a huge hit, especially during private and partner reading. The laptop stand helps me to be able to stand and work while teaching from my table, making it easy to navigate as well as save space. The crayons allowed me to have enough to support those students who were unable to purchase supplies this year, and to receive brand new crayons for the second quarter. The magnetic money was great during our lessons and it helped to give the students an enlarged view of coins and bills. The books were an excellent addition to our classroom library and the "catch a ball" set was not only fun but helped them with their coordination as well as with patience while working on the skill.

    All in all, EVERY piece of this project has positively impacted our classroom and I am forever grateful to each of you.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Alexander

  • Creative And Innovative Learning For All!

    Funded Mar 25, 2021

    I am humbled by your generosity and support. It means so much to me and my students, that you thought enough of us, to support our educational success. Your donation will help to provide my students with resources to support their focus, attention, as well as their literary, and mathematical growth. My heart is overwhelmed and I can not thank you enough. My students and I are excited to use these resources!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Alexander

Offering flexible seating will allow students to be in charge of their learning. During independent work times they will be able to choose a different work space to read and work. By making sure students are comfortable, it will also motivate them. There is a notable difference students when they are given a choice in their seating. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats will also allow them a new option when getting cozy with a book. I have also chosen additional resources to encourage their creative and innovative minds. Since we are not to engage in traditional play and learning time, these resources will allow them to independently and safely work and create.
