  • Reading, Learning, and Staying Safe!

    Funded Jun 10, 2021

    I would like to thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts. My students were still geared up and motivated to read and learn despite being in a pandemic. Thanks to you, the excitement and reading will continue in a disinfected classroom. Thank you for making the “abnormal” more normal! Your kindness will never be forgotten!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Raby

  • Soaring Into Collaboration

    Funded Nov 6, 2019

    We are so very thankful to all of you for funding this classroom project! The students were so excited about the new classroom rug, flexible seating, and books. They could not wait to use all of them! I was extremely overjoyed about all of the new materials, and could not wait for them to be used! I am so thankful for this wonderful organization that allows people to help educators gather materials to make their classrooms great. We are forever grateful!

    Currently, we use our materials every day. In the mornings, we use our rug for our reading discussions and protocols. Students also get a chance to use the flexible seating on the rug. When students are at their reading work stations, they are utilizing the new books. They absolutely love them!

    We are working on moving our book club meeting area. We will begin to use our new reading materials for our book club meeting area outside. The students are very eager to use all of the new materials that the class was blessed to receive. I remind them every day that some very generous, caring people wanted you to have wonderful new items for the classroom!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Raby

  • Our Flexible Seating Classroom!

    Funded Oct 13, 2017

    I would like to take time to extend my heartfelt appreciation for what you did for my classroom of students. They absolutely love the Flexible seating arrangement. The seating is used as a behavior incentive. They absolutely love being able to work in a "flexible" environment.

    When the students first saw the flexible seating, they were so excited! They could not believe it. Before these seats came, I was using some seats from the dollar store.

    They always ask me after their clip has been moved up, "Flexible seating?" I am so thankful to you for considering us to receive funding for this magnificent project. The kids are so excited for their new seating. I will be trying new ways of using the flexible seating so that the entire class will be using our new flexible seating. Thank you again! I also plan to work on submitting another project to increase my classroom library.

    Again, we all thank you so much!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Raby

Soft seats and floor seats will allow students to have a choice of what type of seat they complete their work in. This will really help with class team building and completion of work in the class. When students have a choice of where they can complete their work, it makes a huge difference. Flexible seating arrangements are the new thing to work in. Students are more eager to complete work in their flexible, colorful, comfy seats. My students deserve a chance to work in a different seating arrangement besides the traditional seats in a regular classroom. Bring on the variety!
