My Students

Would YOU like to sit in a confined desk and chair 24/7? Is that what the nearest Starbucks/Panera has? Absolutely not. Currently my students sit in groups of school desks and chairs. This is not comfortable NOR does it inhibit students to learn. These furniture items will help my students LEARN!

I teach in the district in which I grew up in around the Saint Louis area.

I am fortunate enough to have an incredible mix of students and parents that I get to interact with each day. My students are an incredible group of 6th grade readers, writers, and historians. They CRAVE authentic learning and fun. Each student has a special story to share, and many have coped with life on a greater scale than I can even imagine. But, they are STRONG. They inspire me to do better. They help me realize that things that may bring me down day-to-day are nothing in comparison. Students spend more time at school than at home in most cases. Help my students TRANSFORM their LEARNING!

My Project

I have a few comfy chairs in my room and it is always a race to WHO gets to sit in them. Wouldn't it be nice if they all would be that excited to run to their seats and EVERYONE had a learning space to get excited about. That is my dream for my students. They do not even know that I am creating this project. Help make their whole entire lives. Some of my students are coping through incredibly rough times and this treat of a learning space would make school that much more of a safe place. I know this project is expensive and BIG - all of these items would give my students each a space of their own. I am requesting waist height tables so my students can stand and work, tables for students to sit on the floor and work and weighted bouncy chairs to keep my active students entertained! I tell my students to dream HUGE, so why shouldn't I? I am hoping you can dream big with us and support this amazing project for my students! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This project will make a difference.

No question about it. As I am typing this I am sobbing because I am completely assured of the life-changing nature this will make. I cannot wait to see the looks in their eyes when they see their new learning space for the first time. Kayla Delzer, a friend and blogger, wrote about the transformation that took place once she turned her desks and chairs into a place that felt more like home. She said, "Now, it feels like a Starbucks, rather than a classroom."
