  • Pedaling Towards a More Harmonious Classroom

    Funded Aug 21, 2019

    Wow. Thank you. Truly. This project was funded in record time and I am extremely grateful and know my students will be too. I can’t wait to use these peddlers in my classroom and work with my students to help them have an easier time focusing in the classroom. I am always impressed by the generosity of others in these situations, as you understand the importance of these projects, even if you’ll never directly see the impact of what you’re giving to. I can’t wait to share the photos of how these materials are used in our classroom!

    Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Dietzman

  • Connect Us to the World!

    Funded Jul 8, 2016

    Dear wonderful donors,

    I had looked into document cameras for years, but never thought it would be within the realm of possibility due to their excessive cost. After talking with colleagues on how I could get extra supplies that would normally be inaccessible, and hearing about DonorsChoose, I realized that I could get what I wanted for my classroom.

    I thought I would be able to use the document camera fairly frequently each week, for a few moments at a time, but I realized after starting to use it that it became central to my teaching time. It has sped up instruction time, leaving more time for interaction with my students and ensuring they understand material we cover in class through working one-on-one with my students.

    I haven't yet been able to use the document camera to the full potential of what I would like to use it, but I have started researching many different ways of using it, and I am extremely excited at the possibilities that this piece of technology. This is made even more profound by seeing how much more engaged in the lessons my students are when I use the camera. By them seeing what I'm doing on a real piece of paper, like they use, it leaves little excuse for them not to be following along, since we are all doing the work together.

    At this point, I really don't know how I survived without this awesome addition to my classroom!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Dietzman

After teaching upper elementary for the past seven years, I have tried so many strategies on trying to help 4th and 5th graders focus. They have boundless energy and have a hard time sitting still and focusing for even a short amount of time. Brain breaks periodically throughout class do help, but with the demands on what to complete in class each day constantly rising, it has become tougher to incorporate time for the amount of brain breaks we actually need. I have read so many great stories about these Deskcycles helping everyone from kids to adults focus on their work, that I am anxious to give it a try! The DeskCycles will be helpful to my fifth graders as they can get out that excess energy throughout class time instead of waiting for recess, break, or PE time!
