These new resources have completely transformed the energy in our classroom. When the materials first arrived, my students were beyond excited—there's something about a fresh, clean space that makes them feel truly valued. The new door mats were an immediate hit for keeping the \"outside world\" at the door, but the real magic happened when we unrolled the cushions. Seeing their faces light up as they realized they could now comfortably lounge and collaborate on the floor was a wonderful moment.\r\n\r\nWe've integrated these items into our daily routine in ways I couldn't have even predicted. One student in particular has taken such pride in our new vacuum that they beg to use it every single day, even offering to visit other classrooms to help clean! Because the vacuum keeps our carpet spotless, the students are constantly using their new cushions to work on the ground, creating a cozy and flexible learning environment. Plus, the diffuser has become a sensory highlight; the kids love starting the morning by choosing our \"scent of the day,\" which helps us set a focused, calm tone for our lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1763750346752,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-focus-cleaning-comfort-and-e/9790293/","projectTitle":"Flexible Focus: Cleaning, Comfort, and Essential Supplies for Active Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Haae","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9712054"},{"teacherId":10223492,"projectId":9774492,"letterContent":"The new piano and other supplies were instrumental to bettering the class.

The students are enjoying our globe as we explore where each country is located, as well as the different parts. They are able to get a better understanding of how different a country can be depending on where it's located. The maps that they were using before were flat and helpful, but with a globe, they seem to make a stronger connection. \r\n\r\n The students love having the mesh baskets to organize the dry erase markers and erasers when they use the white board in class. It helps to keep the supplies together, instead of falling off the whiteboard sill. The students love to attach it to their desk, so they can be ready when we use whiteboards at their desk. This has been a gamechanger for many of them and has helped them be more organized. It's always a great thing when our class can find ways to support our learning, as well as help them to be ready to learn. Thank you for your generosity and support. We are truly grateful and appreciative for blessing our class.","fullyFundedDate":1759425393549,"projectUrl":"project/having-school-supplies-help-us-learn/9772445/","projectTitle":"Having School Supplies Help Us Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Higashi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3206109_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1646447387624","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3206109"},{"teacherId":9343257,"projectId":9772546,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation.
