  • Interactive Learning: Enhancing Instruction with Anchor Charts

    Funded Aug 30, 2024

    My Donors Choose project, "Interactive Learning: Enhancing Instruction with Anchor Charts," made a real difference in my classroom. The anchor charts became a go-to resource for students, helping them grasp tough concepts and making lessons more interactive. It was amazing to see how much they engaged with the visuals, which really helped them retain information. Plus, the charts encouraged collaboration as students got involved in creating them, which boosted their confidence and independence. Overall, this project really supported my goals of improving reading proficiency and helping students feel more empowered in their learning.”

  • Transforming Learning Spaces: Empowering Students Through Flexible Seating

    Funded Jul 29, 2024

    I am thrilled to share the incredible impact of your support for the "Transforming Learning Spaces: Empowering Students Through Flexible Seating" project. Your generous contributions have truly revolutionized our classroom environment.

    Since introducing the new flexible seating options, students have embraced the opportunity to choose their own learning spots. For a recent project, students used the new seating arrangements to collaborate on group work, where they could comfortably interact and share ideas in a more dynamic way.

    When the students first saw the new seating options, their excitement was palpable. They eagerly tried out the different chairs and workspaces, which immediately enhanced their comfort and focus.

    Moving forward, we will continue to use these flexible seating options to support various learning activities.”

    With gratitude,
