Learners Loving Freedom of Flexibility!
Funded Jan 25, 2018Our students love flexible seating. They love to have the choice where to sit and in what type of chair. This helps them stay focused on their classwork and while working they are comfortable. Every time we introduce more seating options into the classroom, the children go wild. They love it. It keeps them motivated knowing that they can make independent choices. They also come to class every day eager to to enter the classroom and make their own choices. Since we have introduced flexible seating, the class has improved greatly. Thank you for all your continued support.”

Funded Nov 28, 2017We are so thankful for all the flexible seating options we now have inside our classroom. Changing to flexible seating has made such a difference. The children come to school eager to pick their seats for the day and eager to learn. They all look forward to choosing their seat and having different option to choose from. They love the beanbags the most, but are generally happy with all of the different choices. Thank you so much for all the donations and for making this possible for my students. Our next steps are to continue with flexible seating and expand. We would like to try and get different items such as scoopers and the standing table.”

Funded Oct 7, 2017Thanks again for all your support. The children are loving the flexible seat options in the classroom. Every day they come in more eager to learn and choose which seat they will use for the day. This really falls in with what someone had told me one day. " A comfortable child is a productive child" The more comfortable the child is, the more they focus and participate in the classroom. My students were so excited when they saw all the different options we had for seating. They now come to class eager to learn!”

Partitions for Privacy!
Funded Sep 25, 2017The privacy partitions have been so helpful inside our classroom. Since we got them, I have noticed such a difference in student work. Each child has their own space to work quietly. The children are doing a much better job focusing on their own work while using the partitions. They were so excited to be able to work using these because they can concentrate in their own space without being bothered by others around them. They specifically use the partitions when taking exams and completing writing assignments so they can stay focused.”

Kidney Table for My Kids!
Funded Mar 29, 2017Thank you all so much for your generous contributions. The kidney table has been such a great help in our classroom. I am able to work with children in small groups and give those the attention needed. This table allows us to work closely together and stay focused on the task at hand. The children were so excited when they saw this table. They could not wait until they each the opportunity to sit there and work with me. Moving forward I will be working on a project to get different types of seating in the classroom. This will help my students stay focused by having the option to use flexible seating. Once again, thank you so much!”

Funded Mar 10, 2017Thank you so much for helping us reach our goal. The children were very excited to be able to print their projects in color. They had the opportunity to create comic strips on the computer and print them to be hung up in the school hallway. All the ink and toner has also helped us print worksheets, and much more for the children. We are able to print at all times when needed and no longer have to worry about being able to get copies. We have been able to create new centers, where the children can type up their work and print it. They are extremely grateful for everything.”

iPad, iPad! We Need iPads!
Funded Jan 31, 2017The children were so excited to receive their new iPads in the classroom. They are able to use them to brush up on their phonics skills and practice their math facts. In addition they can play fun educational games that reinforce what we are currently teaching in both ELA and Math. The children stay motivated and on task because of their excitement to be able to use this technology. The children use these iPads during center time and independent reading time. It is a motivator for children to use proper behavior and be respectful inside and outside the classroom. The iPads have been a great addition to our classroom.”

Color Our World!
Funded Nov 5, 2016Thank you once again for your generous contribution. We were able to get our colored printer and ink all because of your wonderful donation. We know that ink may seem like something basic and easily attainable , but unfortunately it is not. The printer and ink is helping our students daily. They are able to print their writing pieces and print pages in color that they were unable to do before.
The children are so excited that they are able to print their published work. They enjoy using technology and it makes them happy knowing they can use these resources at any time now. All the children are enjoying the use of the colored printer and copier. It truly helps our students who struggle to copy homework on a daily basis by printing out the homework sheet for them if they are not able to get it done in time. Overall, We are extremely grateful for the technology we were able to install in our classroom and We thank each and every one of you for helping us reach these goals.”
