Let's Go Live Learning Mind Craft Mystery Boxes
Funded Aug 4, 2020Thank you, our learning has been positively impacted by the personal student supplies you gave to our classroom. Each of the 25 students who have been part of our classroom have been blessed by your generosity! Our Mind Craft Mystery boxes have given each student a safe set of school supplies. Our 'Happy Book' journals have been our record of happy times when we have used our school supplies to positively engage in learning activities. One of our favorites was 'Pirate Day'. This year truly has been a treasure chest of great learning thanks to your donations.”

#GoGreenGoGrow Kids Growing and Eating Nutritional Foods
Funded Dec 5, 2019Growing plants and growing students became an even more special part of our third grade year with the use of the food preparation tools we received from Donor's Choose all thanks to your generous gifts. Our garden club enjoyed a bountiful harvest and then we ate our produce.
Several news organizations came and watched us pick, clean and prepare our own salad. We dug for 'sweet potato' gold in our raised garden beds. After cleaning, cooking, and mashing our sweet potatoes we had a tasty cinnamon sweet potato pudding. Mmmmm we even picked herbs to use in cooking at home over the holidays.
Thank you for your generous gifts that allowed us to replant our garden with seeds and starter plants for a winter crop. Although we're not there to enjoy the harvest together, our teacher is still harvesting and sharing with us in pictures. Be safe. And thank you again for supporting school programs through Donor's Choose.
🍃We are all in this together including you, Mrs. Knutson, our Master Gardeners, and the OBE Garden Club”

Funded Jun 18, 2019Thank you for your contribution to our Sit Upon Cushions. Your generosity has made an impact in our classroom. Just looking at the pictures you can see the happy faces of students who are enjoying their new flexible seating. Our cushions are comfy and can move with us. Our learning spot doesn't stay in one place anymore! We have low tables in our classroom. Our Sit Upon Cushion make it the perfect learning spot.
Our students are sitting for longer! When we focus better we get more work done. Our focus has improved because of our comfy Sit Upon Cushions. We can pick our favorite color, sit by a friend, or even put one on a chair. There are so many ways to make ourselves more comfortable and our learning more focused.
Whole group time is a special time to use our Sit Upon Cushions. We have enough cushions for each students to sit together in a group. Each time we use our Sit Upon Cushions we will think of you.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Google.org and 2 other donors.Wobble Wiggle and Learn with Flexible Seating
Funded Oct 19, 2018We were so excited when our boxes arrived. We worked in small groups of 2-3 students unpacking and assembling our new Wobble chairs. The students put them together all by themselves. They use the Wobble chairs all over our room. They are so light and easy to carry!
It feels really cool to sit on a Wobble Chair. Moving and turning is easy. My students can sit for longer work times. I am so glad my students are building 'work time endurance' and are more focused on their work!
Here are some of the notes the students wrote while on their Wobble chairs;
