  • Wiggle, Wobble, Wiggle

    Funded Sep 6, 2023

    Thank you for donating to my wobble stool project. It means so much to me and my students to have this project funded by you donors! I love seeing the bright orange flexible seating options in my room everyday!

    My students enjoy sitting on the wobble stools while they work at my back table! I love that I have enough wobble stools for everyone at my back table now.

    The wobble stools help them get their jitters out while focusing on the task in front of them. Its a win-win! I also use these wobble stools as an incentive, if you follow directions you can sit in a wobble chair. It works great!

    Thank you for thinking of me and my classroom. Donations are always appreciated.”

  • Cleaning and Health/Safety Classroom Supplies

    Funded Aug 29, 2023

    Thank you so much for the cleaning supplies and health supplies for my classroom!

    We have gone through a bunch of tissue boxes this school year already! I am so glad I have the ones you donated as backup for when the school supplies tissues run out!

    We have also used the Clorox wipes almost daily! Especially around this time of year. Covid, the flu, and the common cold are strong this year! I love that I can just grab a wipe and clear the germs away! My students also have access to these wipes so they can clean their spot whenever they feel like it's dirty!

    Thank you so much! These supplies have been put to good use! I appreciate you and your donation so much!”

  • The Gift of Reading

    Funded Aug 17, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating the gift of knowledge to my classroom! My students have loved the books we have read so far! And I love that they are related to the content we are learning! The books have sight words we are practicing, spelling patterns we are learning, and topics that are relevant to our big book story!

    I have been sharing these books with my teammates. So not only does my classroom get to enjoy these stories, the rest of our first grade classes do as well!

    Thank you for donating to my classroom! Thank you for thinking of my students and I! We are so grateful to have physical copies of books to enjoy for many many years!”

  • Wiggle, Wobble & Work

    Funded May 4, 2023

    Thank you so much for helping me obtain wobble stools for my classroom!

    I had 4 at the start of the school year and thanks to your generous donation - I was able to get 2 more! Now everyone at my back table can have a wobble stool during our station rotation time.

    My students love coming to my back table to work on assignments just to sit in the wobble stools! I truly feel as though they are more motivated and stay focused when they work in the wobble stools.

    I would love for one day to provide flexible seating options for all of my students - and not just at my back table. And seeing how much my students love the wobble stools - it might just be my next project!

    Thank you again!”

  • It's Rug Time

    Funded Aug 15, 2023

    Thank you for donating to my rug project! I received one rug for my classroom that my students love to read on! It is perfect for our reading little corner.

    The other rug I wanted for group time was unfortunately out of stock - I did receive a rug by other means. So with the left over funding by you donors I picked out fun math games for my students to play after their math assignments are complete.

    We played with the sequencing beads and sequencing puzzles today. My students loved it! And I loved it because they were enhancing their math skills without even realizing it!

    Thank you for your generous donation. It really means a lot to my students and myself. We appreciate you thinking of us and wanting the best for our classroom!”

  • Ready to Read

    Funded May 2, 2023

    Thank you so much for giving the gift of reading to my first grade classroom! You have no idea how excited my students were when they saw boxes and boxes of new books to fill our bookshelves with! The (old) books in my classroom have been passed down from many teachers, some worn & torn and some way beyond my students reading level. Having books that my students can read and are excited to read is so important!

    When I unpacked, labeled the books, and put them in their new book bins my students were begging me to have silent reading time so they could explore the new books we received!

    You inspired me to give my bookshelf a fresh coat of paint! You have brought so much life and inspiration to my classroom. I cannot thank you enough for your generous donation. These books will be loved and cherished for many many years. And I am so excited that most of them are science based! Being able to build my classroom library with a variety of fun books and education books is important to me! Thank you again for helping me achieve that.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Malave

My classroom is filled with 20 energetic 6 and 7 year olds (first grade)! A majority of my students are English Language Learners and come from low income housing. Most of my students are also dealing with the challenges of not having a pre-k background and growing up during a global pandemic! Nevertheless - my students are spunky, hilarious and keep me on my toes! Everyday they bring something new to the classroom! From dance party’s, endless hugs, big emotions for little bodies, and sanitizing every surface in my room - my classroom walls have seen it all!
