I picked out a big file of social-emotional books that will help me teach the kids more about how to express their emotions without hurting others and using their words. Times have changed and kids need to be explicitly taught how to accept no, that bad words at school are not okay, hitting/kicking are not acceptable, and many more social/emotional issues. The set included 40 books on 40 different topics. It is a treasure trove of information and I am so grateful to have it. Thank you!\r\n I was also able to get a few other things like updated center signs, especially for new items in our room this year like a train table. I also found some fun \"magic\" cards. The kids try to answer how many syllables the picture word has and then use a flashlight to illuminate the back of the card so the answer shows through in the little flashlight on the front. I found some other cards like this where the kids have to hunt for letters to fill in a letter sheet. They use a flashlight to illuminate the card and determine if that letter is on the sheet they have. These are really fun for the kids.\r\n I appreciate your kindness and generosity in support of these new materials in my classroom. The kids are learning a lot with the new materials!","fullyFundedDate":1785258065551,"projectUrl":"project/a-bundle-of-fun/10282508/","projectTitle":"A Bundle of Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Beek","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5292901_orig.jpg?crop=3456,3456,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588418563793","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/fairviewyoung5beek"},{"teacherId":5292901,"projectId":10191384,"letterContent":"I am so excited to share the news that the books you provided for my students are being dispersed! Thanks to partners like Amazon and the DC community, the students are able to have books that are very simple to read to help them move into the milestone of learning to read books. The BOB books begin the series of books with simple, 1-3 word sentences for children to read. They are perfect to help the kids gain confidence in learning to read, cause little to no frustration, and are the right length to keep their attention for 6-8 pages.\r\n The kids get to take these box sets home so they also have resources to read at home while we are learning to read at school. The parents are so thankful to have resources at home to be part of the process for this milestone with their child.

The kids will be able to handle and manipulate these materials for the entire month and beyond without the worry of apples going bad or drawing gnats. These materials will be easily stored in the larger bins so all materials can be stored in one place easily.\r\n The kids love the small leaves, pumpkins, acorns, and balls because they are colorful and fun to sort by color, size, and type. These can be used not only for this unit but throughout the year to work on sorting, patterns, counting, quantities, and more. The bags ordered made about 22 individual boxes of varying styles.\r\n Thank you so much for bringing this project to life along with the DonorsChoose Community.

I do not hear kids complaining about hungry tummies before we go to lunch. The kids are more focused on work and completing tasks because they are not worried about their basic needs not being met.

The new storage and seating have already made a meaningful difference for my students.\r\n\r\nWith the added storage, our classroom materials are now easy to access and neatly organized. Students can independently find supplies, clean up quickly, and take responsibility for their learning environment. This organization saves valuable instructional time and helps our classroom run smoothly each day.\r\n\r\nThe new seating options have also had an incredible impact. Students now have comfortable spaces that support focus, collaboration, and engagement. Flexible seating allows students to choose spots where they feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. \r\n\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping create a space where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Your kindness truly makes a difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1767912717092,"projectUrl":"project/seating-and-storage-for-classroom/9955028/","projectTitle":"Seating and Storage for Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alvarez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10161428_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754948597980","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10161428"},{"teacherId":5292901,"projectId":9544306,"letterContent":"The writing utensils and glue you donated has made a great impact in my classroom. The kids each have their own package of colored pencils. The colored pencils are twistable so we do not need to sharpen them. The additional medium has sparked more interest in writing, drawing, and coloring, especially in those students who did not express too much interest before hand. The kids are allowed to use their colored pencils during some writing activities which includes drawing a picture to go with the topic sentence.\r\n The increase in writing activity is continuing to engage the kids in fine motor tasks, building and using those muscles. Another fine motor task that has become less and less difficult is the use of glue from a bottle. The glue bottles you donated are about half the size of a regular bottle of glue. The kids care better able to squeeze the glue using their whole hand instead of struggling with larger bottle using just their fingers. Their hands cannot yet grasp a regular bottle in order to add air back into the bottle to allow more glue to ooze out. I have a gallon jug that I use to refill these smaller bottles to use over and over.\r\n Thank you so much for donating these additional items to our classroom. Thank you to The Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation for matching funds to aid in project funding. Providing materials that help the students engage in activities successfully with minimal to no frustration means so much to me.

Your generosity has moved beyond a simple donation; it has invested directly into the well-being and academic success of every child in my class.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been immediate and profound. One of the most significant changes we've seen is in student engagement and attention. Where before, students were often restless, they now have the power to choose the perfect environment to meet their individual needs.\r\n\r\nStudents can now select options like wobble stools, donuts, or comfortable floor cushions. This movement helps channel their energy constructively, leading to better on-task behavior and sustained attention during lessons.\r\n\r\nThe ability to move and shift positions naturally, rather than being confined to a static desk, has drastically reduced disruptive fidgeting. Our students are more comfortable, which makes them better learners.\r\n\r\nFlexible seating has naturally turned our room into a dynamic learning community, fostering crucial social-emotional and collaboration skills:\r\n\r\nThe various seating options encourage students to gather easily and naturally for small group instruction and peer collaboration, leading to richer discussions and shared problem-solving.\r\n\r\nGiving the children ownership over their learning space fosters a strong sense of pride and responsibility. They are excited to come to school and choose their spot, which directly increases their motivation to learn.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than provide furniture; it has created a vibrant, inclusive, and effective learning environment where every first-grader feels supported, comfortable, and motivated to achieve their best.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this incredible transformation possible.","fullyFundedDate":1758827809333,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-first-graders/9500812/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for First Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nusbaum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10093799"},{"teacherId":8572081,"projectId":9332195,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and share the significant impact your donation has made on my students this school year. Thanks to your generosity, my counseling library is now fully stocked with essential books specifically focused on supporting students with ADHD and managing big feelings.\r\n\r\nThis collection has become a vital, frequently-used component of my program, serving as much more than just a set of reading materials.\r\n\r\nKey Impacts of Your Gift:\r\nEnriched Classroom Lessons: The books have been seamlessly integrated into my classroom counseling lessons. By utilizing these engaging and relatable stories, students are learning key vocabulary and practical strategies for emotional regulation, self-awareness, and focus.\r\n\r\nEffective Small Group Support: The new titles have formed the backbone of my targeted small groups this year. For students struggling with attention-deficit challenges and intense emotions, these resources provide a safe, structured way to explore their experiences and develop coping mechanisms that truly work.\r\n\r\nIncreased Student Understanding and Empathy: Students are connecting with the characters and realizing they are not alone in their experiences. This fosters a powerful sense of community and reduces the stigma often associated with having a diagnosis or big feelings.\r\n\r\nEmpowering Practical Skills: For example, books teaching concrete breathing exercises or visualization techniques are immediately put into practice, giving students tangible tools they can use in the classroom, at home, and on the playground.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has directly enhanced the emotional and academic lives of my students, giving them the literacy and emotional skills they need to thrive.
