It allows me to make my classroom an inviting and comfortable place for the students. This year I have some students that really need to get moving, so I purchased a trampoline and the students have been LOVING it. I cannot thank you enough for giving me this opportunity to support my students. We have been working hard during our whole group session at learning to tolerate time in small group instruction, so we have been using a lot of the craft supplies we purchased to make this time fun for the students. And we have the holidays coming up soon, so we will use some of the holiday craft kits I purchased thanks to your donation!! It is so kind of you to continue to think of me.","fullyFundedDate":1755703161596,"projectUrl":"project/as-july/9435217/","projectTitle":"As July","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Clapper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7627389_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x277,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696202135218","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/brittanyclapper"},{"teacherId":7627389,"projectId":9055060,"letterContent":"Thank you so much Mark for contributing to my classroom.

They also were really excited about the new beanbag since they spend most of their free time in the chill area! It is so great to be able to get items replenished over time, like the whiteboard erasers since we go through these so quickly for my student token economies.
