  • The Power of Choice! Flexible Seating for Diverse Learners

    Funded Jun 21, 2017

    Thank you so much for joining with me to reshape my classroom in a way that recognizes the varied needs and learning styles of my little learners! I am so excited to get back into the classroom with all the materials needed to put my vision of flexible seating, choice, and autonomy into place, and I know my students will be thankful for your donation to their class.

    As a third year teacher, handling the demands teaching life can sometimes get overwhelming - learning new curricula, getting to know a fresh batch of eager learners, instituting a non-traditional classroom design. As I look toward the fall, though, I am filled with confidence that is bolstered by loving support from people like you.

    With that being said, make sure to keep an eye out for thanks, smiles, and pictures of our dynamic classroom in action once the school year begins! Thank you again and I hope you have a great summer!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Theile

  • Setting Up a Responsive Classroom

    Funded Aug 17, 2017

    Thank you for donating to our wonderfully dynamic and diverse classroom. Due to your kindness, I look forward to setting up a responsive classroom that focuses on the academic and social/emotional growth of young people. I can't wait to share with you pictures and stories of how your donation is being put to good use!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Theile

    This classroom project was brought to life by An Anonymous Funder and one other donor.
We have all heard that there are many types of learners out there. So why are the locations for learning so limited? Beyond the desks and rug, I want to help my students understand themselves better as learners by providing them with diverse work spaces that meet their learning needs. Standing, sitting, reclining, or even bouncing - creative collaborative learners need and yearn for choice. That's why my project includes seating options like yoga balls, poufs, wobble stools, and beanbag chairs - all intended to provide students comfortable work spaces away from the traditional seating arrangement. I also need bookcases, bins, and small storage to keep student supplies neat and organized. I envision a total classroom redesign with the focus on students at the center. Unfortunately, there's simply no room in the budget or furniture in the warehouse to accommodate our need, and so I turn to you! Please help us to become a more responsive classroom, a more engaging environment, and more successful bunch of scholars!
