Seating for All Students!
Funded May 9, 2023At meet the teacher when students walked in the room their faces lit up, they were beyond excited to have so many amazing stools that they could choose from. We cannot wait for the floor seating to arrive to give them even more seating choices!
I have four classes of 25-27 readers this year! They are loving the new stools because they can read on them anywhere and can still move around. The stools provide movement for students who need a different seating style and can be used at many different heights giving students the flexibility to sit at a variety of tables.”

Funded Mar 1, 2019Thanks to amazing supporters like you we have become publishers and testers of the future! Having the iPad stands has allowed my students to be able to move around the room and still be able to utilize their iPad in the best possible way. The stylus pens have allowed my students to grow as illustrators tremendously. They have even taught me new ways to illustrate our stories that were not possible for us before the stylus pens. Thank you SO much for allowing us the opportunity to grow as learners in our most comfortable environment.”

Funded Mar 29, 2017We have been using the flexible seating now since the day it was received! The shipments began arriving on a Friday and we had to start unpacking that day, they were so excited. They couldn't even decide what to try first because there were so many awesome options! Each child has had the opportunity to try each seating option and they all have their favorites! They agree that this will be wonderful for every student for years to come! After having the opportunity to try the seating, they were able to give me their feedback, so next year the table they sit at will be dependent on what seat they choose, therefore they might be at a different table each day! This allows for more comfortable learning and the students love being able to move, bounce and wobble while learning instead of simply sitting in a standard chair! Thank you so much for supporting this amazing transformation!”

Funded Feb 6, 2013This is just a small token of appreciation for your generous donation to my classroom! The iPad that you donated has helped my students every single day. We have used it to read books on, practice spelling and many math skills. Many of our beginning readers use it for phonics and spelling practice and the advanced readers are reading chapter books that we do not have in our school library.
Our school does not have the funds to put the technology of an iPad into our students hands, so without your help my students would not have the opportunity to use an iPad for such amazing learning! For 2nd graders who are learning to read and growing as mathematicians the iPad gives us a way to learn and practice skills in an exciting new way.
Without donors like you thousands of classrooms in the United Stated would go without.”
