Your generosity has brought so much joy, creativity, and motivation to my students.\r\n\r\nThe Crayola skin tone crayons are already a favorite—students love creating artwork that truly reflects who they are, and their confidence is shining! With the laminating sheets, we can now create durable games and task card activities that students can use again and again, making learning in the library even more interactive, hands-on, and fun. The reading bracelets and stickers have added tons of excitement and motivation, encouraging students to keep reading and doing their very best.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our library is filled with smiles, pride, and a love for learning.

These amazing additions have transformed our classroom into a space full of movement, engagement, and excitement for learning. Students are now able to roll, collaborate, and find comfortable spots that help them focus and participate more actively throughout the day.\r\n\r\nBefore, sitting still for long periods was a challenge for many of our young learners. Now, the rolling desks allow them to move safely and purposefully without disrupting their classmates. This small change has made a huge impact—students are more attentive during lessons, more eager to write, and more confident when sharing ideas.\r\n\r\nEvery day, I see smiles as students glide to their learning spots, work with partners, or move closer to the board to see better. The energy and enthusiasm in the room are contagious!

Many of them did not have experience with children other than those in their own families. This year in Kindergarten is their first experience working with others their same age; therefore, interactions with their peers and learning how to work with them appropriately are very important. \r\n Thank you very much for investing in these exceptional children.

Many eagerly approached the new desks, immediately testing the smooth mobility by pushing them around the room, marveling at how easy it was to change their seating arrangement. The bouncy bands, a favorite among the students, quickly became a source of joy as they attached them to the legs of their desks, bouncing their feet with delighted energy. Some even began to move in sync, as if the bands gave them a new way to channel their focus and energy during lessons.\r\n\r\nThe enthusiasm was contagious, with students eagerly discussing how they could use the new resources to personalize their learning space. The mobility of the desks allows students to easily collaborate with peers, creating flexible learning groups and fostering a more dynamic, interactive classroom environment. The bouncy bands not only provide an outlet for restless energy but also help students stay focused, especially during longer lessons. These new tools will be integrated into daily lessons, providing opportunities for students to engage in movement while maintaining focus, enhancing both their comfort and productivity in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746680049227,"projectUrl":"project/bounce-into-learning-help-us-get-bouncy/9206635/","projectTitle":"Bounce Into Learning: Help Us Get Bouncy Bands for us!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Freiburger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6089506_orig.jpg?crop=186,186,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728174165881","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-freiburger"},{"teacherId":8120890,"projectId":9306609,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our 5th grade classroom.
