• Managing Daily Feelings Before They Are Classroom Behaviors

  Funded Aug 12, 2024

  We cannot THANK You enough for your generosity funding our project. The students have been able to learn new ways to self monitor behaviors and are able to make positive choices related to those identifiable feelings.

  Children are so eager "as well as teachers" to participate in activities when new resources are provided to them...The emotion chips and "What would you do?" study book are a huge hit within the classroom.

  Having access to these materials for years to come, is going to be a huge factor in being able to gain control over student behaviors prior to them becoming an issue.”

• Climbing Wall

  Funded Aug 21, 2019

  The gratitude that our school has for our donor "Walmart" is just as large as the love the students have for the new PE equipment. The Rock Wall that was donated to our school through DonorsChoose.org is the coolest resource the students have to encourage physical fitness and allow the students a fun, energetic way to work all the muscles in their body.

  The faces and cheers are unforgettable, the students are just astonished to have such equipment available to them.....the reaction was priceless:)

  Big THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!! Having the availability to provide Fairdale students with an AMAZING rock climbing wall to increase their physical fitness is just unbelievable. We look forward to the years of enjoyment that this fitness equipment will give our community and will actively participate in learning the become physically active through movement/rock climbing.

  My next project is to increase the availability to pedometers within my classroom to classroom set to individual access, having a pedometer to wear not only for a short class period but for a whole school day is my goal for my students.

  Thank you again, from the students at Fairdale Elementary School”

• Mathematic Learning Centers Building A Love for Math

  Funded Mar 27, 2018

  My classroom has changed in many ways, the student's show a new interest in math and they love to use the manipulative/toolboxes to learn mathematics skills. The student's now do not attempt to escape from the lesson, instead they are actively participating in small group experimental activities that promotes learning. The materials are easy to utilize and are kid-user friendly. Being able to learn math while playing games, reading storybooks and manipulating hands-on materials is keeping my students engaged.

  My student's were greatly appreciative of the materials when they first seen them. After the initial shock of so many new boxes, the students was interested in knowing where they came from. Being able to be the first person/class to use a newly purchased toolkit was very exiting for them.

  The next step in my project is to continue teaching the basic foundation to mathematics within my classroom. I anticipate my students will be able to master this skills to be able to successfully apply them into their everyday lives. We ALL are truly excited to have had this opportunity to be apart of a project that was fully funded through DonorChoose.org”
