The books, fidget toys and bands, and stuffed animals have already made such a big impact. We read the Spot books every day, and the students are now labeling their own feelings and even helping each other with emotions.\r\n\r\nThe bands have helped students stay focused by keeping their feet busy, and when anyone feels overwhelmed, they ask for a fidget toy to help calm down. The stuffed toys have also been a huge comfort—students love having something soft to hold or place on their laps.\r\n\r\nAll of these items have really supported positive behavior and emotional regulation in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1755710280208,"projectUrl":"project/learning-in-harmony-sensory-and-choice/9597611/","projectTitle":"Learning in Harmony: Sensory and Choice Integration.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Locher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8301911_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y362&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764880416478","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8301911"},{"teacherId":6560223,"projectId":9597106,"letterContent":"Thank you so much donating to our classroom! This project has had such a wonderful impact on my students and our classroom. \r\nThe social/emotional learning books have been so helpful in teaching big feelings. In kindergarten, many students are still learning to manage their emotions. These books help my students learn that what they are feeling is normal, and that there are different things they can do to help manage those feelings. \r\n\r\nThe whiteboard has helped learning become mobile! The students are not stuck at their desks, looking up at the big board on the wall. I am able to take this whiteboard anywhere, and mix up our learning experiences. It's big enough for everyone to see, yet small enough to easily move around the room. \r\n\r\nThe toys are definitely the favorite! The students love them, and they enjoy making new creations every day. Our classroom is such a fun place to be!\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity.

We are using the new science materials for hands‑on inquiry lessons and small‑group experiments that let students practice asking questions, designing investigations, and analyzing data. For example, students modeled lunar and solar eclipses using Styrofoam balls and a lamp to represent the Earth, Moon, and Sun; by rotating and aligning the spheres they could see shadows and phases directly, which helped solidify their understanding and allowed them to grasp the concept more clearly because they could observe it visually.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes arrived the room buzzed with excitement. They were excited to try the materials and model the phenomena themselves, and they were particularly thrilled about the Play‑Doh, using it to build and demonstrate their ideas and thinking visually. They immediately started to investigate the lunar moon phases in small groups, took turns manipulating the models to test their ideas, and sketched initial observations. Next, students will continue using these materials to investigate science topics like heat transfer and how energy affects matter; they will use these materials to complete short experiments, build models, record observations, and collect and graph data. Your support has turned abstract concepts into memorable, student‑led exploration and has strengthened collaboration, curiosity, and scientific thinking. Thank you for making these learning experiences possible.","fullyFundedDate":1755720633670,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-science-hands-on/9597728/","projectTitle":"Exploring Science Hands-On!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nance","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4884626_orig.png?crop=763,764,x0,y124&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723493605740","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4884626"},{"teacherId":215848,"projectId":9559699,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations that enabled our class to get new plastic cubbies for my 4th graders to keep their school supplies organized. Several students expressed gratitude that the cubbies were plastic and were safer than the metal cubbies they have been using. Our new cubbies are slightly larger than our old ones, so students are able to keep their pencil pouch inside them. This means that their tables and working spaces are more organized and clear helping them not to be distracted.\r\n\r\nAt first the students were upset that their new whiteboards were causing their cubbies to tip over. One happy day, a student put their whiteboard in their cubby landscape instead of portrait and it fit!! It also solved the problem of the cubbies falling over. \r\n\r\nWe were able to donate our used whiteboards to a kindergarten class.
