I have no words to describe how grateful my students and I are. The students are using all these materials during recess as well as before and after school! I was doing my lunch duty and I had time to just go outside for the 2nd grade recess and all the girls grabbed a jump rope and started playing with them. It made so happy seeing them have fun at recess, as for the older kids 5th grade saw the kickball set and started playing and had fun. Each grade level has been using the soccer balls or basketball and just having fun!\r\n\r\nWhen the students realized we had a ton of jump ropes they made 2 little jump rope groups where they were playing mouse trap or seeing who can jump for the longest amount. The 4th graders realized that they no longer needed to take their soccer ball from home they can use the one I provided!\r\n\r\nMy next goal is getting wiggle seats for my fourth grade students. I currently have one and it was gifted to me. These little cushion helped one of my students focus and now all of them want one 🤣. My goal is to at least get 5 for my students. I think this will help them more in class because my student already knows he can focus more when he uses the wiggle seat. \r\n\r\nOnce again I want to thank each of you for helping me fund this project. The students at Greenbrae are forever grateful! <3","fullyFundedDate":1787329790289,"projectUrl":"project/lets-play/10325745/","projectTitle":"Let's Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashlee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10526171_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781458329900","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10526171"},{"teacherId":9349885,"projectId":10007601,"letterContent":"Our classroom has been transformed into a warm, welcoming, and engaging learning environment thanks to your incredible generosity and support of our project, \"A Cozy, Engaging Classroom for Every Child.\" From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students and investing in their learning experience. Your kindness has already made such a meaningful difference in our classroom community.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first walked into the classroom and saw the new resources, their faces absolutely lit up with excitement. They immediately noticed the cozy seating, calming atmosphere, and engaging materials that were thoughtfully added to our space. Many students could not wait to try out the flexible seating options and explore the new classroom tools. Some students who are normally shy or hesitant became instantly more comfortable and eager to participate. It was such a special moment to watch them feel proud, safe, and excited about learning in their classroom.\r\n\r\nThe new resources have already become an important part of our daily routine. Students are using the cozy seating during independent reading time, small group work, and collaborative projects. The flexible and comfortable environment has helped students stay focused longer, work more cooperatively with peers, and feel more relaxed during lessons. I have especially noticed students taking more ownership of their learning because they now have a classroom space that feels inviting and designed with their needs in mind.\r\n\r\nOne particularly memorable moment happened during a recent reading and writing activity. Students spread out across the classroom using the flexible seating while working on personal narrative stories. The room was calm, productive, and full of creativity. Students who often struggle to stay engaged remained focused for much longer periods of time, and many were eager to share their writing aloud with classmates. It truly showed how a comfortable and engaging environment can positively impact both confidence and academic success.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, your donations have also helped strengthen our classroom community. Students are learning how to work respectfully in shared spaces, communicate with one another, and support each other during collaborative activities. The classroom now feels like a place where every child belongs and can succeed.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these resources will support many more exciting lessons and projects. Students will use the space for hands-on learning centers, STEM activities, partner reading, creative writing projects, and collaborative discussions. We are also beginning new group projects that encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity, and the new classroom environment is already helping students feel more confident participating in those activities.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping create a classroom where students feel comfortable, valued, and inspired to learn each day. Your generosity has made a lasting impact not only on our physical classroom but also on the confidence, excitement, and joy my students bring to learning. We are so grateful for your support and kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1768190978676,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-engaging-classroom-for-every-chi/10007601/","projectTitle":"A Cozy, Engaging Classroom for Every Child","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Starr","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9349885_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x174,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698942589337","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9349885"},{"teacherId":9350024,"projectId":10001551,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our special education pre-k classroom.

It was truly a special moment to see their enthusiasm and eagerness to explore.\r\n\r\nThese new resources are more than just toys; they are powerful learning tools. The puzzles are helping students strengthen their fine motor skills, which are essential for writing. The counting manipulatives are giving them hands-on opportunities to build foundational math skills like counting and sorting. Meanwhile, the dramatic play toys are encouraging imagination, communication, and the development of important social play skills.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is helping create an engaging, supportive environment where our students can grow, learn, and gain confidence every day.
