We Need Different Things
Funded Feb 27, 2020Thank you so much for donating to this project. We are in desperate need of headphones. About half the class has provided their own, but the other half heavily relies on the classroom headphones. With time, some of the headphones have stopped working. These new headphones are going to find some happy, listening ears!
The new books will serve as read alouds and also help in bringing in more diverse characters to our classroom.”

Flexible Seating, Independent Thinkers
Funded Oct 5, 2019It is with great gratitude that I write this impact letter. My students are are overjoyed with the new furniture in the classroom.
The round tables have allowed students to work more collaboratively during math instruction. Students are able to compare answers with one another and have thoughtful conversations as they do this. My class is comfortable analyzing each others work and coming to a consensus for answers when it is needed.
Having flexibility in the classroom has also allowed students the liberty to move around more freely. Many students are autonomous in their choices and have quickly figured out what areas in the classroom work best for them. Whether they choose to work while standing, bouncing on a stability ball, or slightly lean back on a chair- they have options.
When students walked on the Monday morning after all the tables and chairs had been setup, they were beyond thrilled. My class has taken great pride in taking care of our new furniture.
I hope to engage students in STEM related lessons in which they can continue to work in a collaborative manner.”
