• Robot Engineers!

  Funded Jan 1, 2025

  My students literally screamed with excitement as they saw me open up the Kwik Co boxes! They are eager and excited to build and engineer their very own robots. It was hard for them to wait.

  When we finally got to open them and began the building of our robots, students were very engaged and eager to learn. They were able to take turns, follow directions, troubleshoot, and understand the engineering process at a deeper level. They gave each other support and really worked and collaborated in a meaningful way, This will be a work in progress, and I can't wait (and I know they can't either) to see the finished products!”

• Alternative Desk Seats

  Funded Dec 4, 2024

  There aren't enough words to express my gratitude! The alternative desks have given my students the opportunity to work from the carpet and ensure they are focused and able to do their best work! The alternative desks make it so my students can see better, focus better, and keep themselves on task. Additionally, the headphones have ensured my students can quietly work on thier iPads and keep the noise down to a minumum. The students love that they can each have their own headset that will allow them to be focused on thier learning games.”

  Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!!! Getting the shelves are a great way to help my classroom more organized and easier to find materials we need for learning. As soon as I got the box my students were eager to help me set it up and help me organize our books and other materials. Additionally, they were so eager for the whiteboards! They love the little handles as they are able to hold it up with one hand to show me their work and I can look at them and correct as needed. I can't thank you enough!”

• Can You Hear It?

  Funded Jan 17, 2024

  I wanted to expresss my gratitude for your continued support to my classroom. My students were overjoyed when the box was delivered to my classroom. They were eagert to choose from the wonderful assortment of colors for their headphones. They are more comfortable and user friendly, and students were able to quickly adjust them and use them in their learning and test-taking apps.

  Additionally, the whiteboards and erasers were a great addition to our classroom. I put them together in a bin and students are able to easily access the tools to practice their skills in both math and writing.

  Thank you so much!”
