Seats for Scholars
Funded Apr 7, 2024My students were over the moon with excitement when we unboxed our new stools! Our previous stools were wobbly from being used for so long. A few had even broken and we had to pull in a chair that was not the most functional.
These new stools are perfect! They sit securely and comfortably while engaging in small group lessons. Students no longer have to worry about falling out of wobbly seats. They are no longer distracted with fussing over who had a stool and who had to sit in the off chairs.
Our new stools have a comfortable and ample surface area for students to sit comfortably. I no longer have to worry about my students that are over active or constantly fidgeting.”

Light It Up, Up, Up!
Funded Aug 9, 2022We are loving our new lights in the classroom! The ambiance is calming and comforting, offering an inviting learning environment. We use all string lights to accent on our centers board, which draws attention to student tasks. String lights are hung from the ceiling around the entire classroom. It enhances soft light around centers. We love turning off the bright fluorescent lights during whole group lessons and only using our string lights. Students described our lights as "magical". They loved the twinkle around our room.
My goal is to offer additional enhanced lighting with a few floor lamps and table lamps. I want to offer students the most inviting and relaxed learning environment to eliminate stressors and help with over stimulation due to bright lights. We are so thankful for the support of our Donors!”

Funded Jul 9, 2021We are extremely thankful for your kindness. Our magnet center got a much needed update with all the new manipulatives we received. Students are using letter magnets during literacy centers to build simple CVC words. I am amazed at their invented spelling! Students are using number magnets during math centers too! They are identifying numbers and counting out objects to match.
When we unboxed the magnets, students were so excited about our "new toys"! The squeals of excitement were so sweet. I knew they'd love their new manipulatives.
My hopes are that students continue to use magnets to showcase their learning growth with new lessons. I hope their words turn into sentences. I hope their number senses grows to reflect their understanding. Thank you for your contribution in helping my students grow!”
