Surf Seats for Kindergarten
Funded Aug 16, 2023Thank you so much for supporting my classroom. My class was so excited to get the new surf seats. When they saw the big box arrive they wanted to know what was inside. I told them that some very generous people helped us purchase some new seats for our classroom.
We put the surf seats to good use the very first day they arrived. We have been doing assessments in the classroom and it has always been a challenge to spread the students around the room and still have them comfortable and able to complete their work. These seats worked great for allowing the students to choose their spot around the room.
We use them daily in our classroom during small group time and independent reading time. They are such a time saver. I now don't have to get separate seats and tables out for the students to use. The surf seats are all in one and are so light weight and easy for the students to move.
We want to thank you so much for thinking of our class and donating to a much needed cause.”

Funded Aug 22, 2018Thank you so much for donating to our class project. The class project that I chose was to allow all students the opportunity to become photographers. In order for this to happen, I had to have enough film for the students to use in class for the entire year.
My students were so excited to learn that they were going to be able to become a class photographer. Each student was shown how to use the camera and will be given the opportunity to take pictures of things that happen in our classroom daily. The students cannot wait to use the camera. Once again thank you for donating and allowing all of my students to try something new and express themselves creatively.”

Funded Feb 9, 2016I would like to thank you for donating money to fund my project Center Fun. We have been using all of the materials in class. We are using our new resources to have a more entertaining and a more engaging learning experience while in our class centers.
The materials that I was able to purchase through Donors Choose has allowed me to have enough centers for each group of students to use while I am working with my small groups. It has allowed the students who finish a center early to have the opportunity to choose another game/center while they are waiting for me to finish my small group.
The materials have allowed me to teach my students the foundational skills for math and literacy. It has also allowed each student to work on his or her level in reading. The students are able to use the materials without any help from me and this allows me more time with my small groups. Once again I would like to say thank you; my students and I truly appreciate everyone who gave.”
