  • Yours, Mine, But Not Ours

    Funded Jul 13, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. These resources have helped students in my classroom keep their items safely separated and organized from one another. Each student has their own seat sack which allows them to separately store their pencil box, their folder, their whiteboard and their other needed classroom items from one another. I believe having an individual space for each student has not only prevented the spread of germs, but it has also helped them to gain personal responsibility.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Brisendine

  • Immigrants We Get the Job Done

    Funded Jul 22, 2018

    My students have loved reading and discussing how immigrants bravely left their homeland in search of freedom and opportunity. These books have given my students a perspective on the freedoms we hold dear. Students have read and collaborated to understand the struggle of those in other countries, and in doing so, they have learned what makes our nation so special and unique. Through reading these books, my students have gained an open mind and acceptance of those who immigrate to our country in search of a better life.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Brisendine

  • Full STEAM Ahead

    Funded Apr 23, 2018

    My students were thrilled to receive the materials for our STEAM bins. We use these bins almost daily as a center in our mathematics rotation. My students have enjoyed the challenge of creating their own designs of homes, cars, buildings, and tunnels. They have shown perseverance and teamwork when asked to reconstruct or improve their design. Through the use of STEAM bins, my students have incorporated math, engineering, creativity, and art into the classroom. Thank you once again for generously donating to our class.”

The Hokki stools, Wobble chairs, and backpatter's seats I am requesting for flexible seating in my classroom will be used to increase student performance and attentiveness. These items will be used by students to create and foster a classroom environment conducive to individualized learning styles. Students will be allowed to choose which environment works best for their individualized learning style. Flexible seating incorporates each child's response to learning in a unique and individualized way. The ability for a student to work and move around the classroom not only engages their mind, it also engages other biological systems throughout their body as well. Research shows the ability for a child to move throughout the day increases mental stimulation, blood flow, oxygen levels, and energy levels. Classroom environments with flexible seating promote a healthy and active lifestyle for children instead of a typical sedentary classroom environment where students are often sitting for multiple hours a day. I feel like flexible seating will have a positive impact on classroom behavior, classroom participation, and student success. Thank you for taking time to review my project.
