This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 2 other donors.Flexible Seating in Kinder!
Funded Oct 16, 2019Thank you so much for making flexible seating possible in my classroom. My students were so excited when they saw that they could choose to sit where they wanted. The wobbly chairs have been a hit! My students feel they can move around and not be distracting to others. The table where I placed the cushions has also been a hit. My students feel comfortable and tell me that they feel at home. The roving cart and the clipboards have allowed my students to spread out in the classroom thus making it easier for those who want to be apart from the table is they so choose. I truly appreciate for making flexible seating happen in my classroom.”

Kinder Art

Organization, Organization!!
Funded Oct 6, 2015Because of your generous donation, my students have the opportunity to work in an organized environment. They were very excited to see the ways they can keep track of their work and the materials in the classroom. Having a place to place their work, having a place where to organize their listening stories, having a place where to get and place their materials has had an important impact in how they feel responsible for their own work and the materials in the classroom. Thank you once again. Your generous donation gave my students the ability to be organized, accountable for their work and the classroom materials.”

Listening Center Stories
Funded Nov 4, 2014My students were very excited to receive all the new stories on CD. When they saw the shipment come into the classroom they wanted me to open it right away. Students are using the materials everyday during our reading time. Listening to a story is one of the activities they do independently. As early readers it has helped my students to track the words in the text. This has helped them gain fluency when reading with the teacher in small groups. The stories have also helped my students in writing. Students are learning how to write an opinion in their writing by expressing their favorite part of the story and why.”

Write and Wipe Boards
Funded Oct 10, 2014Because of your generous donation to my classroom, students are enjoying using new white boards that are double sided. Thank you for sharing my vision of providing students materials that are useful and that will promote advancement in their learning. My students were so excited to have the new white boards. They are more engaged during the lessons when we are using the white boards because they can see their work clearly and it can also be easily erased. They love having the primary print lines on one side because it helps them with their penmanship. Having the new white motivates the students to be ready and engaged in the lesson for the day.”
