A, B, See Me Learn!
Funded Mar 27, 2022Thank you so much for your support! Keffergarten is so appreciative, and so am I! The items we received through this DonorsChoose project are still used DAILY in our classroom and help us run through our English Language Arts stations independently as well as help us keep them organized! The students were SO excited when they saw the new items - especially the brightly colored, see-through clipboards! It is so much fun to watch the students use these items each day and take so much pride in them! Thank you again!”

Be the Change You Wish to See
Funded Jul 18, 2023Thank you so much for helping Keffergarten get a new classroom rug! This rug has provided a bright, comfortable place for us to gather throughout the day. The individual squares provide each student a structured place to sit and learn while also giving them personal space.
Your generosity means the world to me, and to my students as well! This classroom rug has also provided my students with opportunities to be responsible in class by helping it stay nice and clean.
We spend a lot of time on the rug throughout the day and I can't imagine our classroom without it. Thank you again!!”

Hear Us Out
Funded May 8, 2023Thank you so much for your generous donations to help us get new headphones! The class was so excited to open the box up and dig in. These new headphones fit us better so we're not complaining about our ears hurting! They also work much better and are sturdy enough to outlast our kindergarten selves! We are able to focus better on our work now that we have headphones we like wearing. As simple as a pair of headphones may seem, the impact in the classroom is huge! Students performed better on their end of the year tests on our adaptive computer programs - largely in part to their increased focus and the removal of noise distractions! Thank you again!”

Funded May 19, 2021Thank you so much for supporting my students!! Our new headphones are bright, colorful, and way more comfortable to wear with our masks on! Their headphones allow them to focus solely on their own computer and their own learning instead of hearing the computer next to them and losing track of what they're doing. The headphones are compact and easy to put away independently, adding an extra level of autonomy for my students. We are so thankful that we have the support of amazing donors and can make our classroom and our learning even better! Thank you!”

We Like to Move It Move It - Part TWO!
Funded May 8, 2021Thank you so much for your support! Receiving these playground items made my students SO happy and excited! Our year was full of uncertainty, but knowing our project had been funded provided my students something new and exciting to look forward to each day when they came to school. Unboxing each new item brought cheers of joy and wonder. Playing with them at recess brought laughter and smiles. Some of my students had had a tough time making good choices during recess and lunch because of the lack of available activities. These new activities provided ALL of my students the choice and independence they needed to have better days! Thank you!”

Funded Sep 25, 2019Thank you so much for making our sensory bin dreams come true!!! My students have had so much fun exploring our bins, completing class activities with the materials, and even coming up with their own games!
It has been wonderful to watch their fine motor skills improve as they've practiced with the different tools this project has provided them. They have learned to persevere even when they aren't initially successful, and their motivation to complete their work has increased exponentially because they want to be able use the sensory bins.
Thank you, again, for making these new activities a possibility in Keffergarten!”

Can You Hear Me Now?
Funded Apr 18, 2018Thank you so much for your generous support! My students and I are so lucky to have you in our lives! We were so excited to receive the packages and open them up!
These headphones have transformed our classroom because my students can more easily record their thoughts in the "privacy" of their learning space, even when surrounded by their classmates.
These headphones have also helped my students take more responsibility for their belongings. They know how important these headphones are and they are determined to keep them in good shape.
Thank you, once again, for your extremely generous support! We couldn't do what we do without you!”

Spots for All and All in Their Spots
Funded Aug 22, 2017Thank you so much for helping us get our fabulous classroom rug! My students' faces lit up when it arrived and we had a blast moving furniture around and rolling it out for the first time!
Each of my Room 15 students enjoy having their own spot to focus and work during direct instruction. Transitions happen more quickly and smoothly, too!
During partner talk opportunities, no one is ever left without a buddy! All it takes is a quick turn to face a neighbor and each student is paired up.
In addition to all of the educational benefits our new classroom rug provides, we also LOVE the colors! We've successfully turned it into some great PE games as well! You never know what my Imagineers will come up with!
Thank you from all us in Room 15! Happy Holidays!”

Wonderful Wobbling Wonderers
Funded Aug 15, 2016Thank you so much for your incredibly generous support! I could not do this without you!
The looks on their faces when the boxes finally arrived were priceless! We love having the wobble chairs to choose from when picking our workspaces!! Thanks to your help, we now have enough wobble chairs for everyone who wants one to be able to use one without any "waiting lists" or having to switch spaces often. Now all students can easily access a wobble chair if they want to throughout the day. My most wiggly students love getting to fidget while sitting on the wobble chairs and have shown improvement in their focus throughout the day.
Your donations have made an important impact on my students' education - THANK YOU!”

Ms. Keffer
