When the materials arrived, students were immediately curious and excited. They gathered around, asked questions, and eagerly explored the new space we created together. It was clear right away that they understood this area was different—it was intentionally calm, welcoming, and meant for them.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the space, students have been using it during appropriate moments to sketch ideas, write reflections, and take short breaks to reset their thinking. I've seen students step away briefly when they feel overwhelmed and return more focused and ready to learn. One quiet moment that stood out was a student who chose to sketch silently before rejoining a group project. When asked later, they shared that taking a few minutes helped them organize their thoughts and feel more confident contributing.\r\n\r\nThis project has supported our current classroom work by helping students stay engaged and balanced during challenging lessons and collaborative activities. By learning how to pause and recharge, students are developing habits that support both their academic growth and emotional wellbeing. Thanks to your generosity, our classroom is now a space where students feel supported not just as learners, but as whole individuals.","fullyFundedDate":1762470885738,"projectUrl":"project/reset-reflect-recharge/9869214/","projectTitle":"Reset Reflect Recharge","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7707315_orig.png?crop=581,581,x49,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660008067127","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7707315"},{"teacherId":7707315,"projectId":9734798,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students now have access to the essentials that help them feel comfortable and confident at school.

Students walk into class feeling more at ease, more willing to participate, and more ready to engage with their peers and their work.

The new mobile shelving units have changed how my students manage their robotics kits and materials. Instead of spending time unstacking heavy totes along the wall, they can now find what they need right away and get started with coding and problem-solving. It's a small change that has changed how smoothly our class runs daily.\r\n\r\nWhen the shelves arrived, one class eagerly volunteered to assemble them for everyone to use. They took pride in building something that would benefit all classes, working together to read instructions, align parts, and see the finished product take shape. Once the shelves were ready, students immediately noticed how much easier it was to stay organized. Each student has a clearly labeled spot for their robotics tote and a Ziploc bag with their headphones and computer mouse. They love finding their materials quickly without digging through piles or waiting for others to move things around. This level of organization has made transitions smoother, reduced frustration, and helped them start lessons with focus and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1758202757189,"projectUrl":"project/shelves-that-keep-stem-learning-on-track/9686781/","projectTitle":"Shelves That Keep STEM Learning on Track","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7707315_orig.png?crop=581,581,x49,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660008067127","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7707315"},{"teacherId":9713713,"projectId":9048207,"letterContent":"Your generosity is appreciated!

It's one thing to learn about programming on a screen, but something really clicks when their robot moves because of the code they wrote.\r\n\r\nWe've started with block coding, and already a few students are eager to jump into Python. It's been amazing to watch them gain confidence, ask questions, and take ownership of their learning.

Instead of pulling mismatched chairs from all over the room or standing through group work, they now have a comfortable place to sit and focus on their projects.\r\n\r\nThese stools have already made a noticeable difference in the way students collaborate. In one recent activity, small groups worked on brainstorming design ideas for a robotics project. The new seating made it easy for them to gather quickly, stay engaged, and keep their conversations flowing without distraction. Having the right tools for the job creates an environment where students feel valued, showing their willingness to share ideas and problem-solve together.\r\n\r\nThe next step for my students is to continue using these collaboration tables and stools as their hub for hands-on projects and group challenges throughout the year.

They mounted the charging hubs underneath our tables, making it easier for everyone to plug in without disrupting their work.
