  • Coding Through the Curriculum with Bee-Bots!

    Funded Jun 30, 2023

    Thank you so much for your donation to my project, "Coding Through the Curriculum with Bee-Bots!" The students are very excited to get started with these amazing robots. There are so many fun and exciting activities we will be able to do together, thanks to you!

    There are so many benefits of including different types of technology into early childhood classrooms. Using the bee-bots will help to improve visual-spatial development, problem solving and decision-making skills. Students will be multitasking - focusing on the curriculum and also understanding the use of technology as a tool.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. OBrien

  • An Engaging Carpet for Collaboration!

    Funded Aug 19, 2019

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The carpet has been a HUGE hit with the kids since it was delivered. They love coming together during our Morning Meetings and having a cozy place to sit and chat. Throughout the day, we meet at the carpet for whole group instruction and students break off to work in other locations around the room. Many students like to stay and work with their peers at the carpet because it is so soft and comfortable. We look forward to spending a lot of quality time at the carpet and learning.”

  • A Flexible Seating Paradise!

    Funded Jan 23, 2018

    Thank you so much for being a part of this amazing group of people who came together to support and encourage our students. We believe in the potential of our kids because we see first hand how hard they work. They are so excited about the opportunity to add these chairs to our flexible seating environment. With your donations, it is clear to the students that you believe in them too. You have shown our kids that so many people care about their education and want them to succeed.

    The students love using our new chairs. They are lightweight at portable and can be easily carried around the room to a comfortable learning space. The students sit comfortably in the chairs and complete their work. We are so thankful to each and every one of you that contributed to this project! ”

  • Moving to Succeed!

    Funded Jan 20, 2018

    Oh my goodness! The excitement on their face when our custodian carried in our new Learniture Adjustable stools was something that I truly wish I could have bottled up to save forever! They were screaming with joy and amazement! They couldn't wait to have the opportunity to try one! This morning, students walked in to a changed room! We removed some desks and chairs and have officially implemented a flexible seating environment. Students were excited about this change. We practiced using the chairs, learning how to properly sit on them and how they adjust up and down to best accommodate the different heights of students in the classroom. Throughout the day, we rotated different students into the center table where the stools are now placed.

    The kids are excited to have the opportunity to complete work in areas where they feel most comfortable. Some students still prefer typical desks and chairs, but are warming up to the idea of using the pedal desk, our stand up desks and now the stools. We look forward to completing more projects like this, adding to our flexible seating classroom and preparing students for the 21st century!

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support. We are so blessed to be surrounded by loving, caring and supportive friends and family. Our class is lucky to have you, showing them that when they put their mind to something, anything is achievable! Please enjoy the pictures and if you would like to visit and take a look for yourself, please contact us!”
