These chairs have already made such a wonderful difference in the way my students are able to learn, move, and stay engaged throughout the school day. First graders are full of energy, and sitting still for long periods can be especially challenging for some of my younger students. While we love our wobble seats, some of my students are simply too small to use them safely and comfortably. The gliding chairs give these students another way to get the movement they need while remaining safely seated at their workspace. The gentle gliding motion allows students to fidget, move, and release some of their extra energy without disrupting their learning or the learning of their classmates. Instead of constantly reminding students to sit still, I can provide them with a seating option that works with their natural need for movement. They can wiggle, glide, and enjoy their chair while still participating in lessons, completing assignments, and engaging with their peers. \r\nWhat I love most is that these chairs make movement feel fun rather than like something students need to be corrected for. They give my students a sense of choice and comfort while helping create a classroom environment where different learning and movement needs are welcomed. Thank you for helping me create a classroom where my students can learn in ways that work best for them. These gliding chairs will provide safe movement, comfort, and plenty of smiles while helping my students stay focused and ready to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1789567280933,"projectUrl":"project/more-seats-for-growing-minds/10318628/","projectTitle":"More Seats for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gumont","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8724127_orig.jpg?crop=1236,1236,x493,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745708679008","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/allie-gumont"},{"teacherId":8724127,"projectId":10608627,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing new prizes for my classroom! These items will bring so much excitement to my first grade students and will be used in two very special ways throughout our school year. Our classroom prize cart gives students an opportunity to earn small prizes for demonstrating positive behavior, making good choices, showing kindness, and working hard. Having new and exciting options on our cart will help keep this incentive fresh and motivating for my students. They love being able to choose a special reward after reaching their goals every Friday! The prizes will also help make our classroom Christmas celebration extra special. For many of my students, school celebrations are meaningful opportunities to create happy memories with their classmates. Having a special prize to take home will help us celebrate the season and make each child feel valued and appreciated.\r\n\r\nI am so grateful for your generosity and for the joy these prizes will bring to my classroom.

This table has quickly become one of the most useful and well-loved spaces in our classroom. During independent reading and library time, my students use the table as a comfortable place to explore books, read independently, and share stories with classmates. Having a lower workspace gives students another option for flexible seating and allows them to choose a learning space where they feel comfortable and focused. The table has also become an important part of our math instruction. My students use it for small-group lessons, math games, hands-on activities, and practicing new skills with their classmates. Its size and accessibility make it easy for students to gather around, work together, and engage with their learning materials. For my first graders, having choices in where and how they learn makes a big difference.

Your generosity has provided my first-grade students with resources that we will use throughout our school day to learn, practice new skills, stay organized, and take pride in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe technology supplies, including wireless and wired computer mice and student headphones, have been especially valuable. My students regularly use technology for learning activities, intervention, assessments, and individualized practice. Having reliable headphones and enough computer accessories means more students can participate at the same time without having to wait for materials to become available.\r\n\r\nThe colored copy paper has also been an amazing addition to our classroom. I use colored paper to create engaging learning materials, organize resources, send information home, and make important classroom materials easy for students and families to identify. The bright colors help bring our learning materials to life and make our classroom feel welcoming and exciting.\r\n\r\nThe broom, dustpans, and small cleaning sets may seem like simple supplies, but they are incredibly useful in a first-grade classroom! Our students are constantly creating, cutting, gluing, writing, and working on our classroom rugs. Having the proper tools allows us to quickly clean up throughout the day and teaches students that they all play a role in caring for our shared learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic book shelves will help us display books and materials where students can easily see and access them, encouraging a love of reading and greater independence. Even supplies like printer ink and a stapler make a tremendous difference behind the scenes, allowing me to prepare the materials my students need without interruption.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these resources allow me to spend less time worrying about whether we have the basic tools we need and more time focusing on what matters most...my students and their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and helping me create a space where my first graders can learn, explore, collaborate, and become more independent. Your generosity reaches far beyond the individual items you provided; it helps create a classroom environment where my students have the resources they need to feel prepared and successful each day.","fullyFundedDate":1788369093233,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-success-in-first-grade-2026/10318613/","projectTitle":"Tools for Success in First Grade 2026","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gumont","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8724127_orig.jpg?crop=1236,1236,x493,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745708679008","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/allie-gumont"},{"teacherId":8724127,"projectId":10351446,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing our classroom with a sweeper for our classroom rugs! This simple but incredibly useful resource is already making a big difference in our learning environment. Our classroom rugs are used every day for read-alouds, whole-group lessons, small-group instruction, partner activities, and independent learning. With my first graders spending so much time learning and working on the floor, keeping these spaces clean is especially important. Between crumbs from snacks, pencil shavings, paper scraps, and the everyday messes that come with an active classroom, our rugs can quickly become messy. Having a classroom sweeper allows us to take care of those little messes throughout the day instead of having to wait until the end of the day or rely on larger cleaning equipment. It also gives my students an opportunity to take ownership of our classroom. They are learning that keeping our shared space clean and cared for is everyone's responsibility.\r\n\r\nI am especially excited about the independence this resource encourages. My students love helping with classroom jobs, and having a sweeper gives them a practical way to contribute to our classroom community. It turns cleaning up into a meaningful responsibility rather than simply a task for the adults in the room. Thank you for helping me provide my students with a classroom that is clean, comfortable, welcoming, and ready for learning.

These seat sacks have already made such a positive difference in our first-grade classroom. With so many materials being used throughout the school day, having a designated space for each student's supplies has helped reduce clutter and make transitions much smoother. Students are able to independently access their books, folders, notebooks, and other learning materials without having to search through shared bins or crowded storage spaces. This has saved valuable instructional time and has encouraged my students to take greater responsibility for their belongings and their learning space.\r\n\r\nOne of the greatest benefits has been the independence these seat sacks provide. My first graders are learning how to stay organized, care for their materials, and prepare themselves for learning. The seat sacks give each student their own personal storage space right at their seat, which makes these skills much more manageable for young learners.\r\n\r\nThese may seem like a simple classroom resource, but they have had a meaningful impact on our daily routines and learning environment. My students love having a special place for their materials, and I love seeing them become more independent and confident as they learn to keep their spaces organized.

Having 30 calculators means that every student can have their own calculator when we need one, instead of students having to share or wait for someone else to finish. The calculators are especially helpful when we are working with more complex problems because students can focus on understanding the math and explaining their thinking rather than getting stuck on lengthy calculations.\r\n\r\nOne of the things my students are most excited about is being able to use the calculators during class and see how they can help them check their work. I have also enjoyed watching students become more comfortable using the different functions and learning when a calculator is helpful and when they should solve a problem without one. The hands-on geometry materials and probability resources have also helped make concepts more visual and interactive, giving students another way to understand ideas that can sometimes be difficult to picture from a textbook alone.\r\n\r\nThese resources have also helped me create a classroom where students can practice skills in different ways. The dry erase markers allow students to show their work and quickly make corrections, while the math workbooks and critical-thinking resources give students additional opportunities to practice and challenge themselves. I am especially grateful that this project has given my students tools that encourage them to become more independent and confident mathematicians.","fullyFundedDate":1778247292661,"projectUrl":"project/problem-solvers-need-the-right-tools/10252478/","projectTitle":"Problem Solvers Need the Right Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Conkey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9845592_orig.jpg?crop=806,806,x937,y1088&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733600160201","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9845592"},{"teacherId":8724127,"projectId":10193155,"letterContent":"Thank you for considering support for our classroom project. The resources requested through this project will have an immediate and meaningful impact on my students' academic growth, confidence, and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nThe class set of First Day Jitters books will help students explore themes of overcoming anxiety, building confidence, and embracing new experiences. These lessons are especially valuable at the beginning of the school year when many students are navigating new routines, friendships, and expectations. Having individual copies will allow students to actively engage with the text, participate in discussions, and build important literacy skills.\r\n\r\nThe mini LCD writing tablets and replacement stylus pens will provide students with an engaging, reusable tool for daily learning activities. Students will use them for practicing letter formation, solving math problems, brainstorming ideas, responding to questions, and participating in interactive classroom discussions. Because the tablets can be erased and reused instantly, students can take academic risks, make mistakes, and try again without fear, helping build both confidence and perseverance.\r\n\r\nThe Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to access high-quality instructional resources tailored to my students' specific needs. These materials will support differentiated instruction, reinforce key academic standards, and provide engaging activities that meet learners where they are. This flexibility ensures that every student receives targeted support throughout the school year.\r\n\r\nTogether, these resources will create a more interactive, inclusive, and supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to participate, grow, and succeed. Your generosity will help provide meaningful learning experiences that extend far beyond a single lesson and will positively impact our classroom every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping create opportunities for learning, growth, and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1778269818949,"projectUrl":"project/organized-minds-engaged-learners/10193155/","projectTitle":"Organized Minds, Engaged Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gumont","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8724127_orig.jpg?crop=1236,1236,x493,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745708679008","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/allie-gumont"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122934","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":557,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":13,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":11,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"26.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.0,"schoolId":122934,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Blott Guy Pre-Kindergarten - 6 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Blott Guy Pre-Kindergarten - 6","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/liberty-local-school-district/e-j-blott-elementary-school/122934"}
