Active Seating for Active Learners
Funded Aug 23, 2014Thank you again for your generous donation to my classroom and my students. These ten wobble cushions were put to good use immediately! My students love getting to sit upon them each day.
Second graders have a ton of energy, which makes it really difficult for them to sit still all day long. These cushions are designed for kids who just can't sit still. They not only make our hard metal chairs more comfortable, but they allow my students to wiggle while they work. Since receiving these cushions, my students have been more attentive to their schoolwork because they are able to use their excess energy by wiggling on one of the cushions.
Thank you again for providing my students with an alternative type of seating that allows them to safely wiggle away their excess energy while working. These wobble cushions will be used for many years and will continue to increase my students' attention to their learning. I am grateful for your support. Without it, we could not have received these cushions.”

Funded Aug 23, 2014On behalf of my second graders, thank you again for your donation of an iPad Mini and case to our classroom. This iPad was put to good use immediately! My students love having this new tool to use in our classroom.
My students have very limited access to technology both at home and in school so this iPad has been a wonderful addition to our classroom. They love using it to look up information about topics they are interested in and to find answers to questions that they have. It's wonderful that when my students have a question that I don't know the answer to, I no longer have to tell them to try and look it up when they get home. The iPad has also been helpful for building my students' academic skills. They use it to read children's magazines and electronic books. They also use it to practice math skills such as telling time and counting money by using educational apps that I have downloaded. This iPad is a wonderful tool in our classroom and even though we have only had it for a couple of months, I can already see that my students' knowledge of and ability to use technology has increased.
Your help has ensured that my second grade students receive a high-quality education that is full of hands-on technology experiences. Thank you again for providing our class with this new iPad Mini and case. This technology will benefit my students for many years to come!”

Funded Aug 24, 2014Thank you again for your generous donation to my classroom and my students. These three Hokki Stools were put to good use immediately! My students love getting to sit upon them each day.
Second graders have a ton of energy, which makes it really difficult for them to sit still all day long. These stools are designed for kids who just can't sit still. They allow the students to rock safely back and forth without disturbing others. Since receiving these stools, my students have been more attentive to their schoolwork because they are able to use their excess energy by wiggling on one of the Hokki Stools.

Can I Print This?
Funded Oct 29, 2013On behalf of my second graders, thank you again for your generous donation to our class! The toner and paper were put to good use immediately in our classroom printer. My students love that they now have the ability to print their work in the classroom. They are incredibly appreciative of the continued generosity from you and other DonorsChoose.org patrons.
The printer is used on a daily basis in the classroom. My students use it to create hard copies of pieces of writing they have been working on. They also use it to print out pages they find while searching the Internet for information on specific topics they want to learn more about. I use this printer to generate worksheets for both homework and classwork for my students. Without paper and a working toner cartridge, my students and I simply can't print out our work!
Your help has ensured that all of our printing needs will be taken care of through the end of this school year and possibly into the next school year! Thank you again for providing my class with these three toner cartridges and ten reams of paper. My current group of second graders' quality of education has undoubtedly been improved by your kindness. We wish you all the best!”

Funded Sep 20, 2013On behalf of my second graders, thank you again for all of the wonderful art supplies that you donated to our class. You should have seen the excitement on my students' faces when we received box after box of crayons, construction paper, paint, pencils, modeling clay, paintbrushes, paint trays, wiggle eyes, and more. They couldn't wait to get their hands on these supplies and start creating works of art with them.
My students only have art class once a week and many of them do not even have crayons at home, so having access to a wide range of art supplies in the classroom is essential. Since receiving these items, my students have used them to develop their creativity through artwork. They have painted pictures, created collages, and much more. They have also used these materials to demonstrate their learning in literacy, math, science, and social studies. They have made model fossils, created murals of a story we read, drawn pictures to illustrate stories they've written, and much more! My students love using these supplies to express themselves creatively.
I am so grateful for your support and generosity. Your help has ensured that my students receive a high-quality education, one that is full of art. Thank you again for providing my class with these resources. My current group of second graders' quality of education (not to mention many future groups!) has undoubtedly been improved by your kindness. We wish you all the best!”

A Little Bit of Everything
Funded Apr 2, 2013Thank you for your generous donation to my classroom and students. The bins, magnetic teaching clock, bar magnets, and Watch & Record Plant Labs were put to good use immediately. My students and I are incredibly appreciative of the continued generosity from you and other DonorsChoose.org patrons.
The storage bins were filled up immediately and have helped to organize our classroom. Now when my students need glue, rulers, magnets, or other supplies they are able to find them right away. The magnets and the Watch & Record Plant Labs have been used to make science lessons more interactive. My students loved experimenting with the magnets to see how they interacted with each other and other objects. They are also enjoying growing and observing their own plants in the Watch & Record Plant Labs. The magnetic teaching clock has been used by my students during math to build their time-telling skills.
I am so grateful for your support and generosity. Your help has ensured that my students have the materials they need to receive a high-quality education. Thank you again for your kindness. We wish you all the best!”
