Calming Area
Funded May 4, 2023Thank you for your generous donation! My students were beyond excited when the items arrived. They even helped me create our Calming Area!
We have been using the rugs, bean bag chairs, cushions and clipboards for various activities throughout the day but the best part is when students gather at the Calming Area for Social Emotional Learning time (SEL) and get to share their feelings with one another. Students also use this area right after lunch when they spend some time engaged in silent reading. This activity helps them to unwind from the day's stressors. Thank you for providing my students with this special area where they feel safe and comfortable.”

Sharpened Pencils for a Productive Day
Funded Nov 30, 2021Thank you for the pencil sharpener and glue sticks. We use the pencil sharpener daily and it helps our day run smoothly and efficiently. At the beginning of the school year, sharpening pencils was a frustrating and time consuming task with a sharpener that did not work well consistently. Thanks to our brand new pencil sharpener, we are able to get to work sooner and more efficiently. The glue sticks have served us well too. We use them daily for a variety of activities across the curriculum.
My students were excited since the minute I informed them that I had created a Donors Choose project. Every day they asked if it had been funded. Needless to say that they were beyond excited when I told them that thanks to your generosity we would soon receive our pencil sharpener and glue sticks. They jumped up and down with excitement. Their faces were filled with joy. The day we received our materials they asked me to open the packages and of course they wanted to try out their new sharpener right away! They were so happy that they started to brainstorm ideas for our next project.”
