Equity In Classroom Materials
Funded May 22, 2024With your support, I sent my students off to summer with all the materials they needed to continue learning and fun during the summer. On their folders I was able to provide extra practice for them to continue at home along with fun activity packets and games they could play with their families. On paper bags, I was able to provide each of my students with all the materials needed such as crayons, scissors, and pencils, and more. Each student was sent off into the summer with the basics they would need for them to continue to succeed as they head to first grade.”

Let's Wobble for Flexible Seating
Funded Apr 5, 2024Thank you for believing in the importance of flexible seating. Through your support I have been able to begin to offer flexible seating in my classroom. I have been able to open up my kidney tables as an option with the wobble stools. My students love coming to the wobble stools as a form of self regulating. This has also been a big help in preventing injuries in the classroom. Before the wobble stools my students would lean on their chairs as a form of trying to regulate themselves, which obviously was a hazard in the classroom, but now that the stools are an option the students no longer have to resort to leaning on their chairs .”

Funded Mar 12, 2024I wanted to thank you for your generous donations. Through your support, you are allowing me to be able to limit the time that is wasted making copies for students but also allowing on demand access to copies. Through this, the students do not fee restricted to only one copy because they know that they are allowed to have multiple attempts in doing something. It is being able to have multiple attempts that also aides in the process of learning and all fo this was possible with your support and generous donations.”

Kindergarten Paper Madness!
Funded Jan 24, 2024I sincerely thank you for understanding the need for paper in the Kinder world. As a kindergarten teacher, I want to let you know that paper is essential in a kinder classroom. The students must be given multiple opportunities to understand what they are asked to do. They must be given multiple attempts to feel confident in their final work. Arts and crafts are also important as they explore their creative world. Thaks to your donations, my students have had the opportunity to have various takes on projects without feeling restricted in their attempts due to the lack of paper or copies that can be made.”

Creating Independent Learners in Organized Environments
Funded Dec 26, 2023Through your kind donations, I have been able to create what has been the most useful thing in our math time. Through the use of the plastic storage boxes, I was able to set up a Math Toolbox for each and every student. This was a game changer in my classroom since this reduces transition time and gives students direct access to manipulatives based on need. This is great since some of my students sometimes need the manipulatives for certain tasks while others do not. By having a Math toolbox for each student, the students can easily take and use them based on their own needs, leading to self-awareness and more independent learners.
The eight-drawer rolling cart allowed me to better organize assignments for the students and all the copies they needed to have access to. The students now know that if they lose homework or need an extra copy of a worksheet or even an early finisher, the students know they can find it all in the cart. I have created some cart labels that make it easier to identify. Through your kind donation, my students have been able to access more manipulatives in an orderly fashion.”

Math Toolboxes
Funded Feb 14, 2024Through your donation, my students can seamlessly move into our math portion of the day. Through the implementation of the "math toolboxes," the students have access to the manipulatives they may need at hand and can use them to aid them with their work at their own needs. The math toolboxes help with the students as a form of accommodation that is available as they may need it. The math toolboxes in the classroom help the students gain confidence with their manipulation and understanding of numbers which allows them to build confidence.”

Funded Feb 28, 2024I have maintained a clean classroom for my students through your generous donation. I have been able to let my students understand that learning messes will occur and are okay with making messes since they know that we have the tools necessary to clean them up, which leads to open opportunities for more hands-on and creative exploration. Through a clean classroom, the students are less exposed to germs which helps in the rise of attendance while also aiding in creating a soothing and safe environment.”
