These tools have become woven into our daily routines, helping students regulate, refocus, and approach learning with greater confidence. Our silent timer is used every single day across all subjects, giving students a calm and predictable visual cue without creating added noise or stress. This simple tool has supported smoother transitions, increased independence, and a more peaceful learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating options have provided students with much-needed spaces to focus, calm down, and re-regulate when emotions run high. During moments of frustration or anxiety, students now have safe and supportive places to reset so they can return to learning more quickly and with greater success. It has truly reshaped the way students care for themselves and one another.\r\n\r\nOur \"peas\"—the weighted, plush animal-like balls—have become a favorite across the classroom. These comforting tools have helped students stay in their seats, offered a sense of security, and provided the gentle compression some children need to manage dysregulation. Whether used as a grounding object during challenging tasks or a soft \"hug\" during emotional moments, the peas have made a meaningful difference in helping students feel supported and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nYour donation has been so appreciated, there will never be enough words to truly express our thanks! Thanks for helping me make a difference in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1760464224313,"projectUrl":"project/a-place-to-relax-learn-and-self-regulat/9789626/","projectTitle":"A Place to Relax, Learn and Self Regulate!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. G","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10300003_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761063000361","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10300003"},{"teacherId":9821193,"projectId":9502469,"letterContent":"My students new favorite intervention activities are the new vocabulary games. These are the Hottest items in my classroom right now. Any opportunity students have for an educational break these games are the first choice activity. They are not only being utilized for interventions but students are electing to play them on their breaks. Which is more than I was expecting.\r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for your support in their growth and building background knowledge and vocabulary they need for success. The vocabulary words are unique and provide different levels to meet the students needs. Sometimes they will even split the group and compete at different levels. This is phenomenal for developing languages. \r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generosity. You are truly making a difference in our students' futures.","fullyFundedDate":1753750221220,"projectUrl":"project/making-reading-fun/9502469/","projectTitle":"Making Reading Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ruud","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9821193"},{"teacherId":9503242,"projectId":9281253,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the headphones, printer and printer ink for my classroom. My classroom is on the opposite side of the school as the printer. There are many times when I need just a few extra copies of something and cannot leave my class for the time it takes me to walk across the school. This is a huge help for myself and my students. The headphones are available for students who do not have their own, who have broken their own, or misplaced them. Students never have an excuse to not have headphones to complete an assignment on their chrome book now. I have a small classroom budget and wouldn't have been able to purchase these items without your generosity.

These items make our classrooms more adaptive to meet students of all needs and allow kids to move around the room. With my small classroom budget I wouldn't be able to make these things possible for my students. Thank you just doesn't seem like enough!

They walked into the room and it was a struggle to get them to return to their desks. \r\n\r\nIt is fun to see my students sprawled around the classroom, reading their books. I have a classroom of readers this year. Instead of slouching in their desks, they are laying or sitting all over the room with the new pillows. They really enjoy sitting under their desks. \r\n\r\nI hope to fill the shelves with new books for their engagement. \r\n\r\nWe greatly appreciate your contribution to our room.","fullyFundedDate":1734284791403,"projectUrl":"project/library-with-seating/8980397/","projectTitle":"Library with Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ruud","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9821193"},{"teacherId":9821193,"projectId":8980312,"letterContent":"One of my classroom's greatest Christmas Gifts this year was to return from Christmas break to find boxes of new books. \r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled to have new literature in the classroom. I barely had time to do an inventory of the new books as the students could not wait to read them. Each student has adopted a new series. There is no greater inspiration to read in the classroom than new books.
