Flexible Seating
Funded Jul 20, 2018Thank you so much for your support. My vision of creating flexible seating in my classroom has been brought to life and students are thrilled! They are comfortable finding spots that feel right for them to work and the classroom environment is spacious and calm. Students pick a 'smart spot' each morning and are able to rotate throughout the options during the week. Students who have the wiggles often sit on the wobbly stools so that they are able to rock back and forth while working without falling off a chair. Many students enjoy the low tables (since they are only five and six years old) these tables feel just right and comfortable with cushions to sit on. Both students and parents are enjoying this flexibility and my ability to accommodate the needs of all children!”

Read Alongs
Funded Dec 28, 2013Thank you so much for the resources for our Student Listening Center. The students were so excited to hear some of their favorite read alouds through an audio device! This was such a cool way for the students to become engaged in reading. Our class also had a large number of English Language Learners in it, and having a listening center catered towards these students in many ways. They were able to follow along with the actual text as well as hear the books in English.
These resources were used in small groups and enabled readers of all levels to become engage in the reading process. Not only were they excited about reading, but even some of my lowest readers were able to follow along and look at the pictures while hearing the story. This contributed greatly to their comprehension.
Again, I thank you all for your donations and for making this all possible.”
