Clean Air
Funded Sep 16, 2020Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! The air purifier has been such a great addition to our classroom. The students are able to breathe easy and more safely. The air purifier has three settings which is great! We can choose to have it on high, medium, or low. I cannot express how grateful I am for your generous donations. It really means a lot in such an uncertain time. Having a space that has clean air has never been more important in the classroom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

Funded Mar 9, 2020We are so thankful for your generous donation! We are so excited to use our new ball chairs when we return to school after COVID-19. These ball chairs will be used for students to pick their own seats every day. I believe that all students should have choice when it comes to their learning. This is a great way to give them that choice and allow them to be active participants in their learning. Students focus and learn best in different ways using different seating options. Thank you for allowing us to expand the seating options in our classroom!”

Ballin' in Kindergarten!
Funded Mar 9, 2020Thank you so much for funding our project for ball chairs. The students love being able to find what spot they learn best in. Being able to add more options and choices to our classroom is essential. This project allowed us to add two more ball chairs as choices. Although we have not been able to test them out yet due to COVID-19, we are so excited to put these chairs to use when we return to school. Students really thrive when they are able to take control of their own learning and be active participants in how they learn. I love being able to let them pick their own chair each day. Thank you!”

Mail for Everyone
Funded May 8, 2019Thank you so much for the amazing classroom mailboxes! With our class sizes growing we did not have enough room for all students with our old mailboxes. These new ones are amazing! Each student has their own slot where they put their work when it is complete and they keep their pencil box. We are so thankful for your generosity in helping us purchase these new mailboxes. It has really helped make sure all students feel connected to the class and are apart of it. Thank you for all you do to help us grow and learn together!”

Technology Works!
Funded Nov 28, 2018We are so thankful for your generosity! Our classroom is able to function much more efficiently with the addition of another iPad.

We really are so thankful for your ability to help us improve our classroom and your generosity!”

Learning Around the Classroom
Funded Aug 22, 2018Thank you so much for your support! The lap desks are perfect for students to find a cozy spot to work around the classroom that is best for them. They allow students students to figure out how they best learn and find what works for them. This also creates choices for them. When you give students choice they take ownership of their learning. The lap desks are very easy to use and do not create any distractions. They are easy to use anywhere in the classroom which makes them perfect for a kindergarten classroom. Thank you again so much!”

Funded Aug 28, 2017We are so thankful for your support and donations to get these materials for our classroom. The students love having the back-jack stadium chairs to use on the rug as extra support. They also love using them at our "coffee table" as a flexible seating choice. The bouncy bands are great for giving students some movement breaks while sitting down doing work. These bouncy bands are very popular! We are so thankful to have these tools in our classroom to help us learn better. Thank you for your generosity!”

Balancing Through Kindergarten
Funded Mar 29, 2017Thank you so much for making our classroom a more engaging place. Every student has an opportunity to sit somewhere they want to with various seating options. The ball chairs are very popular! The students love sitting in them everyday. They have said "they help me focus on my work" and "they are fun to sit in". The orange cushion seats are perfect for sitting on the rug. They give the perfect amount of sensory input for those that need it, as well as provide a comfortable place for the students to sit. This in turn, allows them to focus on the task at hand longer and pay attention longer. These options have been a huge asset to the classroom and I am hoping to get more flexible seating options for next year!”
