• A Comfy and Cozy Carpet

  Funded Jan 16, 2025

  Thank you all for your generosity in funding this project. Our new, colorful rug has created a large meeting area where every student has a circle space to call their own. We use this new space when learning whole class or in small group circles. But the students love using the carpet the most during independent reading. They love to get cozy and even lay down on their bellies to get comfortable reading their books. It is a beautiful and functional item. It has helped create a cozy, welcoming environment in our classroom. Thank you all!”

• A Table for Teacher and Me!

  Funded Jan 19, 2024

  What a great addition to our classroom! Thank you so much for your generous donations in funding the small table. It is so versatile and we use it all the time. It's a great space for the teachers to meet individually with students to reteach and discuss lessons. It is a perfect place for writing conferences as well. Finally, it's the best place for study buddies to meet and work together in partnerships. It's a private, cozy area that we created thanks to your donations! So thank you so much again for making this project happen!”

• Collaborative Whiteboard Activity Tables

  Funded Jan 17, 2024

  Thank you so much for funding this project for our new, white, dry erase table. We had more students this year, and the three tables we had, did not have enough room. This table allows us to all fit comfortably, spread out in 4 groups. We each have our own personal space. Yet we can work together in groups . The best part is that the table is dry erase so we can write on it and practice skills such as word work and spelling. We can practice math facts and even sketch ideas for writing. We love this new table and appreciate you all for making this project happen.”

• Let's Get Organized!

  Funded Jan 17, 2024

  Thank you for your generous donations. This project allowed us to create storage for our portfolio files where we store our hard work for the year. We also have 2 paper racks where we keep copies of work for the week organized neatly. The best part of this project was the colorful clipboards we received. We love to grab one to sit comfortably at the meeting area and work independently. The materials in this project helped us keep our classroom neat and organized! Thank you all again for making this project possible.”

• Smart Seats

  Funded Nov 27, 2023

  Thank you so much for generously funding this project that allowed me to purchase new, blue chairs . These chairs are light weight and cozy. They are easy to move around for the group work we do in class. The pretty blue color also helps create a calm, clean refreshing environment. The children were very excited to receive these new chairs. In class they are allowed to choose different smart seats that help them stay focused and working. These seats were the perfect addition to our classroom. Thank you all again for making this possible.”

• Secret Storage Seats

  Funded Oct 4, 2023

  Excitement filled the air in our classroom when the students walked into the room and saw our new benches. The addition of benches to our classroom created a cozy environment and warm, friendly meeting area. The students love to gather together for buddy reading and buddy work on the benches. They have the choice to sit on the benches and work independently as well. In addition, the benches have added much needed storage space. We can store large objects like backpacks and smaller ones like books and lunchboxes in them. They are awesome pieces of furniture. Thank you for your generous donations that made it possible for us to acquire them!”

• Sounds Like We Need Headphones!

  Funded Oct 4, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous donations. You made it possible for our class to use the IPads we have with sound. Since receiving our headphones we've been able to create an independent learning station using our iPads to listen to reading stories and e books. We are using interactive math and reading sites to strengthen our basic skills and review lessons. The children are excited to use the technology in our classroom and they are learning as they have fun. Many of these programs include assessments that show the children are making progress learning as well! Thank you so much for making all of this possible. Thank you!”

• Enrichment Station Learning

  Funded Sep 8, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generous contributions. Thanks to you my students were able to have fun learning together in cooperative groups.
