  • Read Around the World!

    Funded Feb 15, 2019

    Your donations are so incredibly appreciated, especially in this current climate of public education. To find out that friends, family, and yes, even strangers, have donated money to help support YOUR students... it's amazing. Reading is an escape for many of our students and these books will help provide some amazing experiences for them. We can't wait to dive into each of them!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Lotterhos

  • Better When Bouncing!

    Funded Sep 29, 2016

    Since October, our classroom has greatly transformed. We went from a stagnant room of 11 chairs and desks, to something quite different. When I first set out on this Donors Choose journey, I truly didn't expect the generosity of my community. It was an experience I will always appreciate and will continue to find ways to make my classroom great.

    The stools were the biggest change in the classroom. Students (and teachers) found their way into my classroom just to try them out. Students also began asking (sometimes begging) to come work in my room. It's quite interesting to find a group of students who are excited to take a test in another room.

    My class and I will continue to try out new things and our new motto is "let's see what happens." I have been fortunate enough to be able to share my goodies with other teachers and grade levels. Inspiring other teachers to reach outside their comfort zone is something I have really come to enjoy. Thank you for letting us do that in our school!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Lotterhos

  • Gaga for Google!

    Funded Nov 8, 2016

    I cannot express how grateful and excited I am that this project was fulfilled! My students will get a kick out of the virtual reality goggles and Google Cardboard app! We will also be able to include a student who couldn't enjoy the taller Wobble stools. The fidgets will also not be able to be used by more students. How awesome is that?!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Lotterhos

My students recently earned (thanks to Donors Choose!) new flexible seating, Kore Teen Wobble Chairs! We use stations daily to work on projects or to dig into new literature or to perfect their personal writing pieces. When we are not doing station work, they may use their wobble chairs at their desks or for silent reading time. My students will use the Bouncy Bands while they're working at their desks and desk-based stations. My students often will tap or kick their desks to help them concentrate, but this creates a distraction to their peers. The foot bands allow quiet, forceful foot movement with minimal to no audio distraction. We also use hand and pencil fidgets because they offer my students a mobile way for them to continue to responsibly deal with their intrinsic needs to move in order to concentrate in other classes such as their collaborative core classes and specials.
