  • Look at My Learning Charts!

    Funded Dec 10, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation towards our new resources. We have received our new learning poster pads. Not only do we have the choice to use a different color poster but also different sizes. Students are creating learning charts to help them learn. I also use them to create a learning resource for my students to be able to see.

    My students were so excited and grateful with our new learning chart paper. They were eager to begin using them and see them all around our classroom. They love when I share my markers with them and they get to write on the poster paper.

    If you visit our classroom you will see our high frequency words, our vocabulary lessons on the four seasons and much more being showcased on our posters. Thank you again we appreciate it. Muchas gracias.”

  • Wow! Can You Say Ready to Learn?

    Funded Jan 29, 2024

    I wish you would have seen my student's faces when they walked in and saw their new name card holders at their desks. To say they were so excited is an understatement. It's the little things that make kids happy.

    Besides being able to nicely set their name tag on their holder having a place for their writing utensil was so useful. It is saving so much time in class not looking for lost items.

    My students feel that they are organized at their desk and are able to help keep their belongings in safe place. Thank you again.”

  • I Love My Comfy Work Area

    Funded Jan 18, 2024

    Thank you for your generous donations. We appreciate it and are so grateful. We were so excited to receive our new cushioned flexible seats in our classrooms. As soon as students walked in first thing in the morning my students were so excited to see our new seating options. They fit perfectly on the cushioned seats.

    Students are able to choose a flexible working area throughout the day. Sitting comfortably is very important for students to work at their full potential. These seats helped our class environment be warm and cozy.”

  • Learners Crave AwesomeTools

    Funded Jan 23, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. I appreciate your donations and support in our classroom. When we received our new tools, my students were excited and eager to begin putting them to use.

    Our new wobble seat is a great option for flexible seating. Students enjoy moving around while working and getting the wiggles out. Our new pillow cover allows students to use the pillow during reading and helps us keep our pillows in great shape. Our new pillow with arm rests is a comfortable option for students to use also while reading. Lastly our new clipboards help my students keep their materials organized while working.

  • You've Got Mail!

    Funded Dec 3, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. Our new mailboxes are awesome. They are a great addition to our classroom. My first graders are able to keep their classwork organized and ready to take home. They are also great for me to keep communication with parents open. I send any important paperwork home in their mailboxes.

    My students love them so much that they help me take care of them and keep them organized. They are also a great size for my first graders. Their hand fits perfectly when they reach in.”

  • Found My Cozy Spot!

    Funded Dec 5, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. From the moment our area rugs arrived my students were eager to use them. They love them! Our circle rug is used during reading time and during the day for students to sit comfortably and work. Our big square rug is part of our classroom library. Students enjoy sitting on it while they check out books to read. Our welcome and hello doormats are a welcoming addition to our classroom. They are also used by students to clean their shoes when they walk in our classroom. Thank you again for contributing to our classroom.”

  • Sit Back, Relax and Learn!

    Funded Aug 27, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. Our classroom is enjoying two comfortable pillows not only for reading time but also during independent working time. The minute my students saw me open this package they were thrilled and excited to begin enjoying our new pillows.

    Students in our classroom are able to choose their own seating area during reading time and independent working time. These flexible seating options allow students to work in an area that is best for their learning style. Student that choose these pillows are engaged and relaxed while they are learning.

    These two pillows have been a great addition to our learning space. Thank you again donors for your contribution that means so much to us and impacts us in a positive way tremendously.”

  • Relaxed and Learning

    Funded Aug 14, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous donations. If you could have seen my students faces when they saw our couch for the first time it would have warmed your heart. They all wanted to try our new couch and sit on it during the day. Their excitement was uncontrollable.

    Our new flexible seating option is facing the front of our classroom, so the students who sit on it can see perfectly the board and projector. Students are able to choose the couch for the week and do their work there. I have noticed the students who have used it our comfortable, relaxed and focused on their classwork.

    I knew this option was going to be successful in my class and I am so proud of my students for using it and taking care of our wonderful new addition. Thank you again!”

  • Sit Comfortably and Learn

    Funded May 17, 2019

    Thank you very much for your generous donations. My students and I appreciate them all. You truly help my vision and ideas come to life all for the students. My students are head over heels over the yoga ball seat with wheels. Students are able to sit comfortably and move around in order to focus on their work.

    The cozy floor seat cushions I knew were going to be able to used in various ways by my students. They were so excited and happy to try them out. I noticed right away they either sat on them or used them as a pillow to have comfortable back support.

    When my students first saw these flexible seating options my students were ecstatic and eager to begin using them.

    My next steps are to begin offering my students different options for table sizes in a different project. Thank you again to all of our generous donors.”

  • Wobble, Bounce, Shake...Yes We Are Learning!

    Funded Mar 1, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous contributions. I can not tell you how much your donation impacts 1 classroom many students. When a project is funded it gives us, teachers hope and excitement to continue creating projects. I feel so lucky to have this project funded. When my students first saw the 2 new flexible seating options that were donated they were beyond excited. They were anxious to begin using them daily. The yoga ball allows my students to move around and bounce while they are working. They love the flexibility with the movement they have. They also enjoy the KORE seat that allows them to stretch their bodies and legs while working.

    These two seats have become part of our flexible seating options for students everyday. They are first come first serve so when I am ready to dismiss my students to choose their seat for the day they are attentive and ready to go.

    My next step for my students is continue to offer them comfortable seats in our classroom. I would love to make our library and classroom cozier for them to sit and read their books. Thank you again I appreciate it so much and I know if you could see their faces while they choose their favorite seat it would melt your heart.”

These different seating options for my students will help provide for them the perfect seat. Each student is different and has their own learning style. By providing my students with these seating options they will focus and be attentive to their work. These requested Stay-N-Play Children's Balance Balls, plastic stack stools, and lap desks will liven up the enthusiasm in my classroom. The Balance Balls are great seating options for my students that have to bounce and wiggle around. The plastic stools are a great option for those students who prefer working sitting down with no back. The portable lap desks will allow students to sit and work and also move their body around when needed for comfort.
