  • Special Tools for Unique Growing Minds

    Funded Nov 3, 2019

    Thanks to your donations and continued support I was able to give my students some of the tools they need to succeed! As you can witness from the photos my students were so excited and eager to receive their tools for learning.

    Our Word Work stations are even more engaging now that we have new ways to learn letters with the alphabet key locks. One of my students who has limited fine motor skills and often times refuses to write, loves to write her letters on the new magnetic erase boards.

    The rekenreks were a great hit with my first graders as they begin to represent algebraic equations using a variety of tools.”

    With gratitude,

  • Tools For Success, Stools To Impress!

    Funded Jul 13, 2019

    Thank you all so much for your generous donations! My students this year were so excited entering their classroom and continue to be excited in their flexible learning environment!

    The flex comfy stools have been a great hit by all who enter our classroom! My students say everyday they wish they had one of "these" at home.

    Our classroom library has never looked more beautiful! The bins have helped keep our classroom library organized and accessible to all students! Thanks to your donations I was able to add more books to my library that were culturally relevant! My students love read alouds and ever more when they can relate to the characters depicted in their books. Once again thank you, I can't wait to see what this year holds!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Ortiz

  • Learning in a FLEXIBLE Environment!

    Funded Jul 8, 2017

    I want to take this time to thank you for all of your donations. Our classroom has been a hit. We have received visits from other teachers and principals to see exactly how everything works. People are amazed at the level of independence and flexibility my students have. We have been featured in union news and have been recognized has a pilot classroom.

    My students' ability to learn in an environment that is appropriate for there needs has made such an impact in their emotional and social development. Students are learning in a 21 century classroom with all the choice they need to ensure their physical needs are met.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Ortiz

My students need an environment that will help support their learning needs. In my school we teach students to practice the 7 habits of being an effective leader. What better way to show this than by allowing students to have full control of how they will learn so that can be fully committed and engaged during classroom instruction. Having the options of flexible seating in my classroom will enable my students to be more successful and ready to learn. I have found that students love having Having options for flexible seating in my classroom will enable my students to be more successful and ready to learn. I have found that students love having options for seating, such as wobble stools, yoga balls, stadium seats and bean bag chairs. Students in my classroom will have the opportunity to change their seating options daily to support their learning needs. As a special education teacher, I want my students to feel at home, safe and comfortable in my classroom and flexible seating will accomplish this. The opportunity to provide flexible seating in my classroom means my students are comfortable, being able to move around in an appropriate way while staying on task doing their work.
