Comfortable Seating for Better Learning
Funded Nov 5, 2022When my first graders first saw all of the rugs, bean bags, and fun seating, you would have thought I'd given them the best early Christmas gifts ever! They were so excited, and still are, and continue to do a great job of sharing and taking turns with certain seating.
The flexible seating you so graciously donated to our classroom has made a tremendous impact on our classroom! My first graders are so excited for reading time because they get to choose a carpet, a bean bag, a rocker chair, or a surf desk.
During the rest of the day, we use the wobble stools and the wobble cushions in their chairs. This really helps them manage their wiggles during teaching and working time. They get so excited when it's their day in rotation to have a wobble stool!
On Thursdays, they get to share their room with the 6th graders, as they come in and listen to my first graders read. They're so proud of their room, and the rugs and equipment that they get to share with them.
Thank you again donors, for this amazing gift!
You have helped me turn my beginning readers into really great forever readers that will remember their first grade year with pride and happy memories.”

Funded Feb 8, 2022Your generous donation made a huge impact in my classroom! I chose books based on my student's interests and hobbies, and was so excited to see the students find the books that I had in mind for them. I had several students tell me that the book I picked out was the best book they ever read!
My students LOVE to read, and it's their favorite part of their day. They even beg to take their book out and read at recess!
Every fourth grade student in our classroom exceeded their reading goals and reached beyond their targeted reading level by the end of the school year. A large part of that was due to the fun, exciting books you donated to us, and I'm forever grateful that future fourth grade classes will get the same benefit.
Thank so much, donors!”
