These materials are used daily in every subject area, from practicing letter formation on whiteboards during phonics lessons to creating colorful diagrams in our science journals. One of the most memorable moments was during a recent art and writing project where students drew and labeled their favorite animals. They were so proud of their vibrant work, and one student even said, \"These markers are the best—I used every color!\" These basic supplies have opened up so many opportunities for creativity, learning, and hands-on engagement.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their excitement was contagious. Many of them immediately began drawing and exploring the different colors and tools, thrilled to have their own high-quality supplies. Now, as we move into our next unit on community helpers, students are using their new crayons and glue to create community maps and craft projects that bring our lessons to life. Because of your support, my students are not only more prepared—they're more enthusiastic, confident, and engaged in their learning.

These seat sacks have brought a new level of organization and independence to our classroom. Each child now has a designated space to store their personal materials, including their writing journals, small whiteboards, and reading books. One special moment that stands out was during our literacy centers. A student proudly reached behind their chair to grab their writing folder, saying, \"I don't need help—I know where mine is!\" It was a small but powerful reminder of how these simple tools empower our youngest learners to take ownership of their space and materials.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first walked in and saw the bright, colorful seat sacks on their chairs, their faces lit up with excitement. Several of them asked, \"Are these for us? Forever?\" It was heartwarming to see how something as practical as a seat sack could spark so much joy and pride. As we continue working on our current unit about plants and how they grow, students are keeping their observation journals and plant diagrams tucked neatly in their seat sacks, ready to grab and go each day. The next steps for our classroom include using these materials to help build routines around responsibility and organization—skills that are just as important as reading and writing in kindergarten.

These new resources have had an amazing impact on my kindergarten students, and I'm excited to share how we've been using them. The LED tablets have been an invaluable tool for daily learning activities, from practicing writing letters and numbers to drawing and expressing creativity. One particular project that stands out is when we used the tablets for a collaborative storytelling session. Each child used the tablet to illustrate their part of the story, creating a colorful, interactive experience. It was wonderful to see their excitement as they proudly displayed their drawings to the class!\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the LED tablets, their eyes lit up with joy. They were immediately curious about how to use them, and the bright, glowing screen fascinated them. They quickly grasped how to use the stylus and enjoyed practicing their letters, numbers, and even shapes. The tablets have made learning feel like a fun and modern experience, and my students now look forward to these activities. They feel proud of their work, and it's amazing to see their handwriting and drawing skills improve as they practice daily.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are excited to continue using the LED tablets for our lessons. We will be incorporating them into our current unit on storytelling and creative writing. Each student will use the tablets to write their own short stories, and we'll be using them to help with reading comprehension as well. These tablets are making learning more engaging, and I can already see how much my students are growing in their confidence and creativity.

The impact it has had on my students has been immediate and profound. Since receiving the new seating options, my students have embraced the freedom to choose where they feel most comfortable while learning. Whether they prefer sitting on the floor in a relaxed, cozy setting or gathering in small groups for collaborative work, the flexibility has created an environment where they feel empowered and engaged. One moment that stands out is when we started a group project on creative writing. The students naturally gravitated toward different seating arrangements and worked seamlessly together, their ideas flowing freely without the constraints of traditional desks. It was incredible to see them more focused and connected with their work and each other.\r\n\r\nWhen the new seating was first introduced, my students were excited and eager to try it out. Their faces lit up with joy as they explored the different seating options and quickly claimed their favorite spots. This new setup has not only made our classroom more comfortable but also has fostered a sense of ownership and responsibility. They understand the importance of taking care of their space and respecting others' learning environments, which has led to greater cooperation and mindfulness in the classroom.\r\n\r\nAs we continue to work on current projects, these flexible seating arrangements will be an essential tool in helping my students stay engaged and excited about their learning. The next steps involve a collaborative science project where they'll work in small groups to research and present on environmental sustainability. The flexible seating will allow them to choose their ideal workspace to brainstorm ideas, experiment, and collaborate in a way that is best suited to their individual learning styles. Your contribution has already made a lasting difference, and we're excited to see how it will continue to enhance their learning experiences in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1722898267684,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-floor-seating/8504066/","projectTitle":"Flexible Floor Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Horst","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8375385_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y162&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647530622232","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bhorst-stemproject"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_90162","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":541,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":90162,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cornwall Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cornwall Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/cornwall-lebanon-school-district/cornwall-elementary-school/90162"}
