    Thank you so much for your donations! My students are going to enjoy these activities during phonics groups. These will help reinforce the phonics concept that they have been learning in a fun way. These also give them a chance to interact with peers and learn together.

    Thank you so much for your generosity. Our students are going to have access to colorful classroom materials thanks to your donations. We will also be able to print out class photos and display them in our classroom to support social emotional learning. We can’t wait to show you photos of our students’ smiles when they get the materials. Thank you again and we wish you a wonderful time with your family in this holiday season.”

  • Let's Make Blended Learning Fun and Safe!

    Funded Sep 17, 2020

    Thank you so much for your donations to our classrooms. You have made blended learning in the past year possible. The supplies allowed students to have a smooth transition when they changed from in-person learning to remote learning.

    The donations also helped minimize the chances for students to contact a shared surface. Students had their own supplies and it had made them feel safe while attending in-person learning in the school building.

    These supplies ensured that students were able to continue learning independently while they were at home. As a community, we were so grateful for everything we received. Thank you, thank you and thank you!”

  • Give Our First Graders Flexible Seating to Increase Stamina!

    Funded Mar 20, 2019

    Thank you for your generous donation to our project! Since flexible seating was available to our class, students' stamina have significantly increased. They are now more focused on their independent reading and writing, which in turn allow them to make more growth in a shorter amount of time. This year, learner agency has been a big focus of our school. By providing students with flexible seating, students are given more choices and voice in how and where they want to learn. We believe that learner agency would enhance students' learning motivation, which is the key to become an independent learner.

    I will never forget the exciting faces of my students when they first saw the seats we got from our project. The donation did not only give my students more agency and flexibility, it also taught them how to be caring and grateful. They learned to share these seats with their classmates and understand that they are getting them because there is a group of people who provided generous support just because they wanted them to learn even better. Donors, you did not only donate materials for our students to learn, your action has also shown them how important it is to be kind to others.

    Thank you, again, for your big hearts which have shaped the little minds in our classroom.”

  • Expanding and Exciting Language Learning With iPads

    Funded May 7, 2019

    Thank you very much for your support on our project. With the IPad cart, we will be able to share these powerful learning tools with multiple classrooms, and in turn allow the learning experience to reach even more students. And it wouldn’t have been possible without you! Thank you, again!”

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. I have noticed amazing differences in the classes in which their students are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I hope to help my students get more engaged in their independent work and increase their stamina. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them multiple seating options to make more effective learning choices. The Bouncy Bands and Wobble seats will allow students to sit at tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The Jack Floor Chairs, Lap Desks will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. The Book Bags and Pen Holders will help my students to keep their supplies together while they are working at different spots in the classroom. I can't wait to see how choice can positively affect my students' work and believe that this will be a very powerful tool in their growth and learning.
