  • Organizing for Success

    Funded Jul 14, 2022

    Thank you SO much for your generosity and kindness. My students and I are so appreciative of your donation. With your donation, you are helping to build a new organization system that will help with storage, and other essential materials for learning (expo markers, pencils, writing journals, etc.). Again, thank you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Triest

  • One Classroom Community

    Funded Aug 12, 2021

    I want to take the time to say thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your donation helped purchase a large navy blue rug for my classroom. The rug was delivered on the first day of school, and my fifth graders cheered when it was delivered to our classroom. This rug has brought so much joy to each student just by having a gathering place in our classroom. Every morning we sit on the rug for our morning meeting, and in the afternoon we sit on the rug for our closing circle. This purchase has helped develop our classroom community, and I know it will continue in the years to come. Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

  • Flexible Seating in the Classroom

    Funded Jul 6, 2021

    Thank you again for your generosity to help provide new resources in my classroom. This project provided a variety of different flexible seating options in my classroom such as wobble stools, fidget chair bands, reclining seats, stools, wobble cushions, a ball chair, and lap desks. All of these seating options are used daily whether it is during whole or small group instruction.

    My fifth grade students were SO excited when they first saw all the seating options they had to choose from. Providing students with choice helps increase their motivation, and engagement, in their learning. These materials have been so beneficial for the students in my classroom, and I can't say thank you enough. My whole class is so grateful for your donation!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Triest

Flexible seating will provide students with choice in their learning. During whole group, small group, and independent work times, students can make seating choices that are best for them. Providing more options can encourage students to become active participants in their learning. This project will provide students with many seating options such as wobble chairs, stadium seats, stools, portable lap desks, fidget chair bands, wobble cushions, and balance boards. Flexible seating options not only provide choice, they create a comfortable classroom learning environment. Students will be able to move their seats around the classroom, and find spots in the room where they can learn best. The seating can also provide students with opportunities to fidget and move in a non-disruptive way. Lastly, having flexible seating options can also help with student motivation.
