They immediately started brainstorming ideas for how they could use the resources in their learning, and were eager to dive in and start experimenting.\r\n The students are using the new resources daily. The flexible seating provides students a way to move, but still be seated and actively engaged. When students require additional instruction, I have the flexible seating positioned around my small group table so it's almost like an incentive to receive additional instruction instead of feeling like a punishment or singling out.\r\n For students' next steps in our classroom lesson or project, they generally move from exploring or investigating a concept to applying knowledge through developing a product. Typically, students gather their work collaboratively and then present their work to demonstrate their understanding of the content. \r\n Whether it be the flexible seating or the snacks, students have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have received from my donor's. It's the little things that mean the most to students and to see their excitement is like no other great feeling. Again, my students and myself are beyond grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1761667790190,"projectUrl":"project/help-the-special-education-world/9855660/","projectTitle":"Help the Special Education World","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. LeKites","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10328070"},{"teacherId":5236550,"projectId":9857095,"letterContent":"Thank you again for supporting our classroom! While the materials you provided were mostly snacks, they have made a meaningful difference for my students. We use the snacks during longer lessons, small-group work, and testing days, when students need extra focus and energy. One specific moment that stood out was during a small-group lesson—students were able to stay engaged, calm, and on task because their basic needs were being met.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their reactions were pure excitement and gratitude. Several students immediately smiled and said thank you, and a few were relieved knowing they wouldn't have to worry about being hungry during the school day. Having access to snacks helps create a welcoming and supportive classroom environment where students feel cared for and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these snacks will continue to support our current lessons by helping students maintain focus and stamina, especially during challenging activities and assessments. By removing the distraction of hunger, students can fully participate, take academic risks, and stay engaged in their learning. Your generosity truly helps set them up for success, and we are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1761667623047,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-and-supplies-for-success/9857095/","projectTitle":"Snacks and Supplies for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Graves","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5236550"},{"teacherId":10309562,"projectId":9820475,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of books focused on equity and inclusion. Your support is already making a profound difference in our classroom.\r\n The books you provided introduce key skills and lessons around empathy, critical thinking, and understanding diverse perspectives. Through these stories, students learn to recognize and challenge inequities, develop compassion for others, and explore complex social issues in a safe, supportive environment.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become more dynamic and meaningful. Students can now engage in thoughtful discussions, make connections to their own experiences, and deepen their understanding of fairness and justice. These books help foster an inclusive atmosphere where every student feels represented and heard.

My 8th-grade class has truly enjoyed them as the project was geared toward providing them with a fun activity for the end of the day. The students were very excited and intrigued by the boomwhackers when we received them. Many recalled playing them when they were in elementary school while others indicated that they had never played boomwhackers before and that this would be a first for them.\r\n\r\nDuring our general music classes, students are learning about keeping a steady beat, reading rhythms, and identifying pitch. The boomwhackers have provided students with a means to learn these concepts and have fun playing their favorite songs with others. They enjoy choosing music to play and their excitement and smiles say it all. I have seen students who rarely participate engaged and laughing as they play songs using the boomwhackers. The uptick in overall engagement from all of my students has been astounding!\r\n\r\nIn the future, I hope to have students learn to play different musical pieces or create musical pieces on the boomwhackers that they can then perform during our chorus and band concerts for an audience. I think it is important for students to share what they have accomplished and created with others. I am hoping a project of that nature will encourage students to pursue other instruments or provide them with a creative outlet. Your donation has allowed my students to thrive in general music and provides them a means to practice learned musical concepts in both a fun and an entertaining way. From all of my students and me, thank you so very much for providing us with boomwhackers. We are truly grateful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1740921516588,"projectUrl":"project/boom-boom-boom-boomwhackers-in-the-mu/9124718/","projectTitle":"Boom! Boom! Boom!
