The Perfect Spot For Me -- Classroom Rug
Funded Jul 11, 2023Thank you so much for helping to make my classroom feel like a safe place for kids to come each day. We spend the first part of our morning on our classroom carpet as well as other times throughout the day. Each student has their "forever spot" and they take great pride in their spot. We enjoy so many moments on the rug together like our Morning Meeting, singing our Calendar songs, listening to stories, sharing our highs and lows, and so much more. Having a place where all students can gather has brought us together as a classroom family. Students know it's a safe place to share, to listen, and to be themselves. Thank you again!”

This classroom project was brought to life by An Anonymous Supporter and one other donor.Privacy Partitions for Me!
Funded Dec 5, 2021Thank you so much for funding "Privacy Partitions for Me." This project has been a game changer in my classroom. It has been so wonderful for students to have a way to create their own personal learning space. I have found that they not only use them when taking a test, but also when they need a break and just need to cool down. Since the partitions are so sturdy, we will use them for years to come. I truly appreciate you making a difference in our classroom. Thank you for all that you do to support education!”

This classroom project was brought to life by #TeachHealthy with Nature Made and one other donor.Fuel for the Mind!
Funded Oct 16, 2012This is such a wonderful project! It allows my students to review concepts in a meaningful way that helps to build student confidence along with their skills. My students love the challenge presented to them with the Singapore Math problems. They enjoy competing in Bingo and don't even realize that they are practicing converting decimals, fractions, and percents. Their favorite activity is the Head Full of Numbers Game. They love that it looks like Einstein and are using the various dice to create their own versions of the game. Thank you for giving my students supplies to fuel their minds and make learning stick.”

The Artist In Me!
Funded Oct 19, 2012I feel like I hit the jackpot three times with this project! My students are busy working to create stories for their blank books The are currently working on developing characters and a good plot. The books will be illustrated with the oil pastels. We have already been using the pastels to create artwork, and the walls in our classroom. We have a group of class photographers that are responsible for documenting the important events in our classroom. These photos will be used in their memory books so that when they leave our elementary school, they will have a great memoir to take with them. Thanks for your CREATE grant program and all the wonderful opportunities it is bringing to my students!”

Digitally and Artistically Inspired
Funded Oct 22, 2012This is such a great project and we really appreciate your CREATE Grant program and the support it brings to the arts in Orange County classrooms. We have been enjoying using the iPod Touch in order to enhance our dance unit. Not only are we able to use the boom box to hear our music, but we are having a great time picking out the songs we want to dance to as well. In the spring, we will create our mini documentaries on the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. I can't wait to see what my students produce! Thank you!”
