  • Getting Cozy and Communal on a Big Classroom Rug!

    Funded Aug 15, 2024

    Having a big, thick rug to sit on together has been a great way to start off our classroom community. We use the rug for our morning meeting, debriefs from lessons, and warm-ups before an activity. Students are more comfortable, having their own personal space on this huge rug, and having something soft to sit on. This rug in particular has been helpful, since it has big squares that I can assign students to sit and stay in during instruction time.

    I was especially grateful to have this rug (almost) for the very beginning of school. It is an inviting thing to see when you enter a new grade for the first time. My students were very excited when it arrived and wanted to help me set it up. Whether for read alouds or check-ins about our feelings, our rug is a focal point of this fourth grade classroom. Thank you for your help!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Elliott

  • Listening Leads to Learning!

    Funded May 7, 2024

    My students have had a much more seamless experience with blended learning (using computer programs to extend our material) this year, thanks to your help. Everyone has functioning headphones and are able to use our computer programs without distracting others with the sounds. In our Spanish computer program, for example, students need to listen to the words said aloud in their program, to learn how to pronounce them. Having full volume has helped a great deal.

    I have been able to organize the headphones so each students has a pair assigned just to them and can keep them in their desk. To no longer have students fighting over limited headphones gives such peace to my day and school year. Our station work time is much more focused, as some students use the headphones even without sound to help them focus on their work. This allows me to put my full attention on the small group of students I need to teach at time. Differentiated teaching is necessary with students at such different levels and very helpful for student growth.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Elliott
