  • Engaging Tools for Environment Studies!

    Funded Aug 2, 2023

    After several weeks of waiting for the materials and searching the mail room we have finally secured this projects packages!

    We were very excited to open it up as a class and the students already have lots of ideas for how to use the materials. Thank you for helping give my students this year more access to STEM activities with this project.

    We are even using one of the items as a class reward for them to earn as a positive behavior motivator. They are all very excited for this! Thanks everyone!”

  • Classroom Food Station!

    Funded Dec 13, 2022

    Thank you so much for taking the time to donate to our project on donors choose. Every donation goes towards giving the students additional supports that they don't normally have.

    Especially coming out of a pandemic which was so disruptive for many students- having Donors Choose projects funded is game changing. The kids are aware and thrilled to receive supplies such as are in this project.

    To see that our larger community is giving to our classrooms is also amazing to see myself as an educator. We are so thankful!”

  • Tech Center Updates for Classroom!

    Funded Aug 15, 2022

    Thank you so much to everyone who helped to contribute to funding this project for updates to our tech center. These new additions have made a large difference in the classroom. Now we have headphones for every student to use for when they are working on iReady.

    Also the cart helps to have an area for the laptop and the document camera. This helps us for our daily lessons. It makes for things to go smoother, and for myself to maximize the lessons for the kids.

    We are very excited to use these supplies from this project!!”

  • Zen Vibes With Kid Art!

    Funded Sep 29, 2022

    Hi everyone !!! Thank you so much for contributing for this project to be funded. We've finished setting up all the Zenergy chairs. Also the students love the art books to help them relax!

    Already on the first day we have seen an improvement in concentration and focus in the students who sit in the chairs! They're able to bounce out all their energy while still learning. Also the chairs allow for quiet and stationary bouncing.

  • CLEAN Classroom Basics!

    Funded Sep 23, 2021

    Thank you for helping to supply the classroom with all these cleaning supplies. It is so appreciated that you took the time to help a classroom out in one of our schools on Donors Choose.

    Teachers are always needing all sorts of items for classrooms, and having a project funded like this on Donors Choose really does help us out so much. Especially in the lower grades classrooms can become messy after a fun day of learning. So this helps a lot to keep the area fresh for the kids as we continue in the year.”

  • YUMMY SNACKS for 1st/2nd Grade Kids!

    Funded Sep 26, 2021

    Thank you for donating to this project that got us set up with snacks galore for the year! These little students get hungry very easily, and this was the perfect solution to providing a snack time between lunch and dismissal. This project has allowed me to make sure their basic needs are being met so that they can power through the end of day lessons.

    For the students that often don't bring snacks to school - they love the choices we now have for them each day. It wouldn't be possible without your donation!”

  • Self-Contained 1st/2nd FLEX Seating!

    Funded Aug 12, 2021

    We are in our third month of school, and the new additions to the room have been awesome! The students have been loving using the new furniture during their school day. Each morning they get to choose where they would like to sit for the day.

    As you know our class has special needs so the flexible seating allows for the students to choose what works best for them. I will be sharing pictures as part of this thank you package. Thank you so much for supporting public school teachers and students!”

  • Fourth Graders Safety First! (PPE)

    Funded Sep 15, 2020

    I want to send an enormous thank you to everyone that took the time to read and donate to this project. As you know this year has been a roller coaster for teachers, students and families. Your donation helped to provide some stability into an uncertain year back in the fall.

    It was extremely beneficial to have these materials in this project available to the in-person students. We still have of it that will be saved for next year as well.

    Again thank you for your generosity and your kindness.”

My students are unique. Students with sensory/attention issues, hyperactivity, and hypo-sensitivity (seeking stimulation) can make teaching challenging when the students are physically uncomfortable. Sitting on these bean bags or wobble cushions will help center the students and provide the stimulation they need to focus on what we are learning. These two new options for flexible seating will provide the students with more Student Choice to explore how they are able to learn best- and they will love it! They will be so happy to receive this as a gift from our donors to sit in for discussions, independent reading time and even when they play and learn valuable social skills interacting with one another.
