• Mobile Seats to Enhance Student Engagement!

  Funded Mar 7, 2018

  Thank you so much for the tractor stools! My students enjoy sitting on these stools. They love the bright colors and the fact that they can spin around in their seats. These stools are a great addition to our flexible seating classroom. We have small group tables that have some student's backs facing the front of the room, so these stools are perfect for those students to be able to spin around when I am teaching a lesson. We appreciate your kind donation to our second grade classroom! :-)”

• Clover Shaped Table to Enhance Student Collaboration!

  Funded Nov 16, 2017

  My second graders were so excited to see the brand new green clover shaped activity table in our classroom this morning! They couldn't wait to make new seating arrangements. It was so nice to see how the students cooperated at their new desk. They made sure everyone at the table had enough room for their belongings and work space. They worked well together and most of all they were engaged in learning! I saw lots of smiles and heard lots of positive interactions amongst my students. Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom! :o)”

• "STEAM"ing With Fun, Part Two!

  Funded Oct 18, 2017

  Thank you so much for the brand new Legos, pattern blocks and white cubicles. The white cubicles are perfect for storing our math manipulatives and STEAM kits. My students are getting very creative with using the pattern blocks. They are learning how to use shapes to make other shapes and they are able to make a variety of patterns using the pattern blocks. For example, they are learning the different ways to cover a hexagon (6 triangles, 2 trapezoids or 3 parallelograms). My students are also loving the new Lego additions!

  Thanks again for supporting our wonderful classroom! :o)”

• Students Rule With Cool Stools!

  Funded Sep 23, 2017

  Thank you so much for your generous donation of the four tractor stools. My students were so excited when they saw the bright, colorful stools with rolling wheels! The stools work well with our brand new student centered tables. The tractor stools are able to turn 360 degrees; therefore, allowing my students to easily turn around to face the front of the classroom when I am teaching.

  I'd like to order more of these stools in the future because my students enjoy using them and it works well with our group tables.”

  Funded Oct 18, 2017

  Thank you so much for the wonderful brand new picture books and neon colored book bins!

• Inquiring Young Minds Ready to Explore!

  Funded Sep 21, 2017

  Our new STEAM learning center has been a huge asset to our second grade classroom. My students are always eager to do STEAM activities with all of the brand new supplies that we received through your generous donations. They are learning to work together cooperatively in pairs and small groups to build and create their own masterpieces. They are learning about the engineering process and they are creating bigger and better projects based on their self reflections. I'm so happy to see positive student engagement! THANK YOU so much for helping supply my students with the learning tools that they deserve!”

• Keep Us Cool in School!

  Funded Oct 6, 2017

  THANK YOU so much for the wonderful hydro flask water bottles. My students were so excited and grateful for the cool blue hydro flasks! They seemed to be in shock that they were each given a high quality water bottle to keep. Most of my students are proud to bring it to school everyday to keep at their desks while they work.

  I was able to use my cricut machine at home to cut out vinyl stickers of their names for their water bottles so that it would be personalized. They absolutely love their personalized hydro flask water bottles. THANK YOU for your generosity! :o)”

• "STEAM"ing With Fun Using Picture Books and Hands on Manipulatives!

  Funded Sep 26, 2017

  My second graders are having a blast learning with our new STEAM center manipulatives! They are learning by using the engineering process. They create structures and they always try to make it bigger or better the next time. It's so amazing to see the growth that they are making academically and socially with their peers! They encourage one another to build certain structures and they give each other ideas on how to make it better. My students enjoy the mentor texts as it inspires them to build and create various structures! Thank you so much for your generous donation to our STEAM learning center! :-)”
