  • Ready to Rock Reading!

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    I cannot even begin to express my thanks and gratitude. My students do not receive much as we are in the heart of a low income school, so receiving this gift will make their hearts explode. I have some of the most deserving students ever, and this is going to help them in reading and writing so much. Thank you times a million.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Dupuis

  • Miss D's Fabulous First Year of First Grade

    Funded Aug 27, 2017

    THANK YOU! Thank you for everything. As my first year of teaching continues, I can't even begin to tell you how much the items I was able to buy have helped me in the classroom.

    My students have been so blessed and appreciate all of the gifts we were able to purchase. The week we received the packages, my students were so excited. They were shocked that so many people who didn't even know them were willing to help buy these things!

    When they first saw our class pet, Gordy, they were in love. Each student in our class gets to take the garden gnome stuffed animal one weekend in the year and write all about it. They absolutely love it! The headphones have helped our technology needs for listening to stories, recording our writing and playing math games. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me reach my goal. My students and I truly appreciate all you have done for us.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Dupuis

    This classroom project was brought to life by Sergey Brin Family Foundation and 6 other donors.
My students will have the ability to choose the best option for sitting for their own learning needs. These materials will help aid what I already have in my classroom. Every student learns in their own way. It is my job as a teacher to provide the best learning environment that I can provide to allow my students to flourish with their individual learning needs. The spiky wobble cushions will be used in my classroom with the lowered table for students to sit at and enjoy the movement while they work. I also have a high population of ELL learners in my classroom. The headphones will be used in our "tech learning lab" with our 6 chrome books for students to listen to reading, watch videos, and work on their language proficiency. Because I have flexible seating in my classroom, my desks are very non-traditional. I have a lot of students who will be working on the floor or without a hard surface. This is where the clipboards come in. They are easily transportable, and the perfect size for activities during small group instruction. Loop bands will be added to the students' chairs so they can move their legs and stretch their feet while working. This is a great strategy for students who want to sit in chairs, but still need the movement. My classroom will be like a home for my students. The garden gnomes are for our class "pet". The students will take the gnome home during weekends and use it as a writing topic to talk about their weekend and their own families. Our gnomes will also be used for book buddies.
