The new fidget toys and classroom prizes have already had a positive impact on our 5th graders. Students are using the fidget toys during lessons and independent work time to help manage their energy and stay focused. For example, during a recent math lesson, students were able to use squishy balls and sensory rings at their desks, which allowed them to concentrate better on challenging problems while staying calm and engaged.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the fidget toys and prizes, their excitement was immediate! Many were eager to try out the new tools, and the opportunity to earn rewards for their hard work and positive behavior has motivated them to participate actively in lessons. Some students who previously struggled to stay on task are now more confident and focused, using the fidget tools productively instead of feeling restless.\r\n\r\nNext, we plan to continue integrating these resources into daily lessons and reward systems. Students will use the fidget toys during reading, writing, and collaborative projects, while working toward earning prizes that recognize their effort and achievement.

The new classroom sets of books and book boxes have already made a big difference in how our 5th graders experience reading. With these resources, students can explore engaging stories that match their interests while practicing important reading skills such as comprehension, inference, and fluency. Reading time in our classroom has become even more lively and interactive, with students discussing characters, sharing predictions, and connecting lessons from the books to their own experiences.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new books, they were thrilled! Many immediately dove into their favorite stories, eager to read independently or in small groups. Some students who were hesitant readers have especially warmed to these texts—they are more willing to take risks, read aloud, and engage in discussions about the stories. The book boxes have also been a big hit, keeping books and supplies organized while giving students ownership over their learning materials.\r\n\r\nNext, we plan to continue using these books for guided reading groups, independent reading, and literacy projects. The organization and accessibility provided by the book boxes will help students develop important skills in responsibility and organization, preparing them for middle school while fostering a love of reading that will last a lifetime.

Receiving flexible seating for my classroom has transformed the way my students engage with learning. With donut shaped cushions, students now have the ability to choose a space that helps them focus best. I've noticed more on-task behavior, fewer distractions, and an overall increase in excitement for group and independent work. The classroom feels more welcoming and student-centered, and my learners feel trusted to take ownership of their learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe addition of a laser pointer has also been incredibly helpful during instruction. It allows me to guide students' attention to specific areas of the board, charts, and anchor texts without breaking the flow of teaching. This small tool has made lessons smoother, especially during interactive read-alouds and math modeling, because students can easily follow along and stay engaged. It has also supported more efficient transitions and classroom management.\r\n\r\nFinally, the laminator has been a game-changer for creating durable learning tools. From reusable math centers to word walls and student-made projects, laminating has helped preserve materials so they can be used year after year. My students especially love seeing their work displayed in a polished, lasting way, which boosts their confidence and pride. Thanks to this generous support, our classroom is better equipped to meet students' diverse needs while creating a positive, lasting impact on their learning journey.\r\n\r\nThank you so so much again for this amazong gift to my classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1732412846118,"projectUrl":"project/i-like-to-wiggle-wiggle-wiggle/8907066/","projectTitle":"I Like To Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1695084_orig.jpg?crop=1987,1988,x0,y152&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642986562430","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cyndih-lin"},{"teacherId":1037277,"projectId":8969979,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for making our project a reality!
