The kids love having other options and places to work in the classroom. I've noticed it motivates them to work hard and also be on task as they can choose a different place to sit. \r\nAnother item that has been of great importance from the donor choose project to my classroom is the stuffed animals. Having the weighted stuffed animals allows some of my students a chance to take a break and sit for a moment with a weighted stuffed animal. This allows them to regulate themselves again and then be able to come back, join the class and start working again.","fullyFundedDate":1746786379355,"projectUrl":"project/who-doesnt-love-a-fun-seating-options/9284658/","projectTitle":"Who Doesn’t Love a Fun Seating Options?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carroll","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9702964_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725289877017","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9702964"},{"teacherId":5195796,"projectId":8754803,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for your incredible generosity. Your support has truly made a difference in our classroom! With your donations, we've created a more focused, engaging, and supportive environment that's helping my students grow every day.\r\n\r\nAs soon as the materials arrived, my students were filled with excitement. The dry-erase number line boards became an instant hit during math. We've been using them during small-group instruction to break down concepts like addition, subtraction, and number sequencing. One student who typically struggles with number placement told me, \"This makes it so much easier, I can see the numbers now!\"\r\n\r\nThe Pacon privacy boards have become a quiet game changer. My students love using them during independent work time. One child who's easily distracted now asks for the board himself, it's helped him focus and feel more confident.\r\n\r\nFor literacy, the magnetic notebook paper has been a fantastic visual tool. I use it during mini-lessons to model writing techniques, from topic sentences to paragraph structure, and students are much more engaged when they can see ideas come to life in large format.\r\n\r\nThe Reading Comprehension Cubes have added a fun, hands-on element to our reading groups. Students roll the cubes and answer questions that help deepen their understanding of the stories we read. It's amazing to hear even the quietest students enthusiastically participate.\r\n\r\nOur lined mini journals have become a treasured part of our day. During our quiet writing block, students grab their journals and just write. They're learning to express their thoughts freely, and I've seen growth not just in writing skills but in their confidence.\r\n\r\nThe book bins have helped keep our small group area organized, which means less transition time and more time spent learning. And lastly, the calm stickers have been a soothing support for students who need sensory regulation. One student who often feels anxious during transitions now rubs the sticker on his desk when he needs a moment. It's a small gesture that's made a big impact.\r\n\r\nThank you for being such an important part of our classroom journey. Your kindness has created a lasting impact and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1726021093805,"projectUrl":"project/fun-in-4th-with-mrs-stone/8754803/","projectTitle":"Fun in 4th with Mrs. Stone","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5195796_orig.jpg?crop=914,914,x0,y469&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726020137226","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5195796"},{"teacherId":9780063,"projectId":8899002,"letterContent":"My students and I cannot thank you enough for your generous donation to our classroom.

They can all fit comfortably around the table together, and the whiteboard can be raised up high enough for everyone to see. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new stools, they were so excited to sit on them. I had a few students say that they had similar ones at their own house or a house they have been to. They complimented my choice on the stools, too. They were all captivated by the new whiteboard as well. They love that I can raise or lower it to suit their needs, and the fact that it rolls, makes it extremely convenient to move around and pull right up close to the table.\r\n\r\nI hope you enjoy the photos of my students, all with a place around the table. They were all very excited to show off their new classroom stools and whiteboard to you. Thank you again for everything!
