  • Building Connections

    Funded May 10, 2023

    Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom. The students were so excited when I got to open the box and show them the new activities we would be adding to our soft starts. They have been the first activities taken off the shelves by students ever since they were introduced to the classroom.

    Your donation has impacted our classroom greatly. Soft starts are a time for students to problem solve, learn to communicate with others, and develop critical thinking skills. You have contributed in helping make this (and more) happen.

    Many students chose our soft start time as their favorite memory from fourth grade. We can't thank you enough for contributing to both their growth and their memories!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Fewkes

  • Building a Classroom of Learners

    Funded Jan 13, 2018

    It has been such a joy having new materials in our classroom! The easel has been a huge addition to our classroom. I use it for both making charts in class to display and the whiteboard aspect of it when working with small groups. It is perfect for displaying the different concepts we are working on. In addition, because my class is at varying reading levels, it has been so nice to offer my students books that are at their reading level. The books helped stock up our class library and have made it look more inviting! Furthermore, the fraction tiles have been a tremendous help for my students who are more visual and kinesthetic learners. Knowing I can reach my students in this way has been fulfilling! Lastly, the K'Motion Stools were a big hit with my students as well! Having additional seating options- especially for my wiggly students- was a perfect fit for our classroom!

    My students were so excited when they walked into the classroom and saw all of the boxes from our shipment! I opened the boxes up in front of my students and when they found out it was donated to our classroom, they could not believe people were willing to donate money for us to get supplies for our classroom! To be honest, I was shocked by the generosity as well! They continue to express excitement about our supplies and ask questions about those who donated. We are all incredibly grateful!

    All of these donations have aided in me being able to help my students be successful. Watching them grow is such a joy to see and seeing how these donations have helped them makes me so happy! With your contributions, my students are getting a better education with materials that fit their needs. We cannot thank you enough for donating to our classroom! We are forever thankful!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Fewkes

    This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose.org Community and 11 other donors.
I am a first-year teacher and building a classroom where my students have the supplies necessary for a successful education is my main goal. I do not want my students to suffer because of my limited amount of supplies at the moment. I will always try my best for them with what we have, but I would love to give them something special. The supplies asked for would make such a difference in our classroom. Because my students are at various reading levels, a leveled library would be so helpful for my students! Having books at their level where they can learn reading strategies and skills to help them grow would be so beneficial to help them become stronger readers. K'Motion chairs would help incorporate flexible seating into my classroom, as well as help some of my wiggle worms! I want my students to feel comfortable in our classroom and to learn in a space most suited for them. An easel is also something I cannot wait to have in our classroom. I would love to use it not only for small group instruction, but for whole group instruction as well. I can use the whiteboard aspect of it, but can also use it to make anchor charts as a class to then display on our classroom walls. Last, but not least, the fraction tiles are a perfect way for my students to visualize fractions and use a manipulative while learning the concept of fractions. This can be a challenging concept in 4th grade, but with the addition of these fraction tiles into our math lessons, I believe my students will have a better sense of the meaning of fractions. Your donation to our classroom would be greatly appreciated!
