Fostering Collaboration With Tables
Funded Jul 5, 2023Having tables in my classroom is genuinely the best improvement that has ever happened to my teaching career. It has provided the space for ELA Centers, encouraged students to work together to keep their group-shared materials organized, and created significantly more opportunities for partner and group work. I have attached an activity that my students completed in groups where the goal was to investigate a fruit: a hands-on science and math experiment that they could use their table space for effectively.
First graders deserve the space to be creative, collaborative, and learn, and these tables are the PERFECT fit. They are sturdy, and have allowed me to utilize more space in my classroom for an additional rug spot where students can sit and read. I am so appreciative and cannot thank you enough as this is the most significant positive impact that my classroom has had in my 4 years here!
Thank you so much again and I cannot wait to see how these students continue to grow with their beautiful tables!”

Bright Lights for Bright Minds!
Funded Jul 19, 2023Our classroom is such a bright space for students to learn, feel safe and grow! I have many students with sensitivities to lights and sounds, so being able to have the soft lighting provided through lamps and natural light is incredibly effective for them and for their learning. It allows them to feel calm, focused, and ready for all of the first grade fun my coteacher and I have in store!
This would not have been possible without your kind donations, and I cannot sincerely extend my gratitude enough. My students absolutely love their classroom this year and I know that it is due to the calm and cozy energy provided by the lighting, as opposed to the harsher flourescent lights. I plan to continue using these lights especially during winter times when there are more cloudy days than sunny! My students are so welcome and safe and I owe that to you.”
