Several of my students struggle to control their bodies, and having alternative seating options has helped them significantly.\r\n When I introduced the flexible seating, my students were overjoyed and always elected to use it when appropriate. Some students prefer to come to the rug and sit, while other students like the mini couch, and others like to bring a stool over. \r\n Not only have these materials been extremely helpful in developing self-control and promoting learning, but they have also helped my students identify and meet their own needs. My students are more self-aware now and can even differentiate between whether the seating will be a distraction or a tool (sometimes, we like it because it is comfortable, but it can distract us!). I am so proud of my students this year, and we owe a significant thank you to you for your generosity.

My students have gone from being reluctant about reading to choosing to read when they have free choice. Whether they are reading to learn with the National Geographic Kids set or whether they are reading to giggle about some crazy shenanigans happening in the My Weird School series, my students are reading with enthusiasm and constantly asking what they can read next.\r\n Not only do my students love to read the books, but they also love to review them. The journals we were given have supported my students in critical thinking skills, penmanship, grammar, spelling, and written expression. They truly enjoy sharing their book reviews and/or thoughts with each other, and they even give book recommendations to each other!\r\n I told my students at the beginning of the year last year that my goal was to make them love to read, and most of them either laughed or groaned. Now, thanks to your generosity, I am raising lifelong readers who will promote literacy far beyond our school walls. I have had students below benchmark expectations tell me that they never thought they could enjoy reading, and now they are meeting benchmark expectations (or much closer) and getting excited to read!\r\n Thank you so very much for empowering my students and another generation of lifelong readers.","fullyFundedDate":1776563998289,"projectUrl":"project/building-lifelong-readers-one-book-at-a/10181258/","projectTitle":"Building Lifelong Readers, One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pagliuca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10436907_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1792423839675","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10436907"},{"teacherId":5509541,"projectId":9941515,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for funding our multisensory sight word flash cards!

The excitement when they found out our project had been funded and the kits started to arrive was palpable to everyone. When some of our kits were unavailable, I gave students the opportunity to suggest and vote for kits within the amount available. This gave them real life opportunities I would beyond what I could have imagined. They learned budgeting, compromise, they listened as students spoke about what Lego kits they thought would be a good addition to what we had and ultimately chose kits that I never would have thought of. \r\n Now that our kits are here and students have been working on them, I've watched collaborations happening among students that normally have more difficult times working cooperatively. I've seen students who initially said Legos are \"ok\" working excitedly to help complete sets and they have held each other to expectations that they set for working with Legos. I watch problem solving in action daily and creative solutions to help fix things that don't seem to be working. Legos have brought the excitement of STEAM education as well as Social Emotional Learning to our classroom and I couldn't be more pleased. This has grown from a project meant to help demonstrate how STEAM fits into our daily life into daily life lessons that I hope will stay with them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1760383415673,"projectUrl":"project/lets-go-with-lego/9724367/","projectTitle":"Let's Go With Lego","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-fant"},{"teacherId":6561452,"projectId":9392207,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for helping support my classroom project.
