Thanks to your support, my students now have access to new resources such as Staples 1 Subject Notebooks, an Echo Dot Smart Speaker, Astrobrights Colored Paper, dry erase boards and pocket sleeves, Fraction Stax manipulatives, and a variety of organizational tools. These materials have transformed the way we approach learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement in the room was contagious! My students were eager to explore and immediately began using the new resources. One particularly memorable moment came when we used the Fraction Stax during a lesson on solving equations with fractions. For many of my students, fractions have always been a challenging concept, but using these hands-on tools allowed them to visualize the process and break down problems step by step. Seeing their \"aha\" moments as they successfully solved complex problems was incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nOne student, Jason*, who often finds math confusing, shared how the manipulatives made equations feel more manageable. He told me, \"I finally get it! It makes sense when I can see it this way.\" Your contribution has not only provided essential resources but has also boosted their confidence and engagement.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has opened new doors for my students, and I am deeply grateful.

We've been incorporating the yoga mats, blocks, and bolsters into our mindfulness and wellness sessions, allowing students to use them as needed to manage stress and stay focused. One particular moment that stands out is when a few students participated in a guided breathing exercise using the mats and blocks. They found the experience calming and reported feeling more relaxed afterward. For those who haven't yet used the materials, they have the option to participate at their own pace, creating a comfortable and flexible environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students were curious and excited. A few expressed interest in trying the yoga poses, while others were eager to explore the mindfulness book, especially the sections on managing stress. For some, just having the option to use the mats or practice breathing with the bear has made a difference. We've been incorporating short mindfulness breaks during the day, and students who are more inclined to try these techniques have shared how they feel more focused and calm afterward.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're continuing to work on mindfulness as part of our current project. Students who are interested in using the yoga mats and blocks will continue to do so during specific lessons or breaks, while others will engage with the mindfulness book and breathing exercises in ways that feel most helpful to them. As we explore these tools, students will reflect on how these practices are influencing their emotional well-being and academic performance. Thanks to your support, students now have access to resources that can help them develop important skills for managing stress and staying present in their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1727049155621,"projectUrl":"project/calm-down-corner/8807544/","projectTitle":"Calm Down Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Machabee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9064782_orig.png?crop=604,604,x0,y58&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1685648960595","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9064782"},{"teacherId":9064782,"projectId":8441398,"letterContent":"On behalf of myself and my students, I want to express my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation towards classroom supplies.
