The Bosu
Funded Aug 31, 2019The Bosu has been a great asset and support to our classroom. The children enjoy the setting of being able to have a seat available to help them move around when they need the special "wiggle" movement and keep them attentive while they do their work. They truly enjoy the seating of the Bosu as an option in the room to enjoy snack time with their friends and have some fun at the same time, they enjoy being able to read and talk about math games in the seating choice of the Bosu and being able to count jumps as they work on math games as well. There have been students such as Liam whom benefits from the Bosu since he has a special need that requires him to have the choice of moving even while in his seat and to have the lower accommodations to the floor as well.
The children walked into the classroom a few days after school had already begun and after flexible seating was introduced into our room and they were really excited. They jumped for joy and were so curious to know how this seat can be helpful for them and how we could use to be better and more focused learners in our classroom.
Next steps is allowing the children to learn their body and know how they can use the different seating in the flexible classroom and how the Bosu will help them. Maybe they can learn how to us the Bosu during a math game and another seating option during writing or vice versa. I want children to have agency of what they need in order to focus and have their mind abroad more during their classwork time. This is my goal for them. Thank you so much again for our Bosu's we love them!!!!”

La Colleccion El Baul
Funded Jun 29, 2019It has been a great joy to have"La Coleccion el Baul" in our classroom and we are really grateful for your donations and allowing our project to get funded. THANK YOU! "La Colleccion el Baul" has really been supportive and helpful in our classroom to help in teaching us how to use pictures to understand the text as we might not know the words we can use the pictures to help us. Also, the text and print is really clear and some words stand out more than others by its color or font and this also have been really helpful while the teacher does read aloud's in class. The text is rich in Spanish content and vocabulary. The books have been really helpful to the content we are learning in class such as about transportation and supporting our social emotional needs as well.
Reading in my class looks like joy. We read with our buddies in the morning during breakfast time and after lunch. Some of us choose to read books for choice time even with a friend. I the teacher love reading these books of La Coleccion el Baul to support our reading writing in content as well they are reading helpful during Spanish days in my dual language classroom.
The children love reading La Coleccion el Baul in our classroom. Janice and Liam love the books so much because they have made the connections since they have some of them at home and their parents read the books to them even before coming to school. Some parents even relate to the text since they have made connections from previous years in school as well and having other children in the dual language classrooms in previous years. These texts are just lovely to have!
Thank you greatly for your donations they have been a great asset and support to include in our everyday Spanish learning and in our libraries!”
