The seating pillows are used daily during small-group instruction, independent reading, and partner work, giving students comfortable options that help them stay focused and calm. One memorable moment was during reading workshop, when students settled onto their pillows and became fully engaged in their books. The standing desk has also been a game changer for me, allowing me to move more freely, stay energized, and better support students during instruction.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new seating, they were thrilled—smiling, excited, and eager to try everything out. They immediately felt proud of their classroom and more invested in their learning space. As we continue working on reading comprehension, writing, and collaborative learning, these resources support longer focus, deeper discussions, and stronger engagement. Because of your generosity, our classroom is now a more flexible, comfortable, and supportive environment for both students and teacher.","fullyFundedDate":1760899160499,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-teaching-flexible-learning/9725566/","projectTitle":"Flexible Teaching, Flexible Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sublett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4404067_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1491315498268","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4404067"},{"teacherId":4404067,"projectId":9816214,"letterContent":"Thanks to the donated snacks, my students now have consistent, healthy options that support them throughout the school day, especially during longer instructional blocks like small-group reading and writing. One moment that really stood out was during a guided reading rotation when a student who often struggles to focus stayed engaged for the entire lesson after having a snack. When the students first saw the snacks, their excitement was immediate smiles, cheers, and lots of \"Thank yous.\" Several students asked if snacks would be available every day, and it was clear how much it meant to them to feel cared for and supported.\r\n\r\nAs we continue working on reading comprehension, fluency, and written responses, these snacks help students maintain the energy and focus they need to succeed. Our next steps include more targeted small-group instruction and extended learning time, where students are expected to think critically, participate in discussions, and take academic risks. Because of our donors' generosity, my students are able to focus on learning instead of hunger, creating a more positive, calm, and productive classroom environment every day.","fullyFundedDate":1760757589471,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time-for-strong-minds/9816214/","projectTitle":"Snack Time for Strong Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sublett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4404067_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1491315498268","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4404067"},{"teacherId":10167872,"projectId":9667441,"letterContent":"My scholars and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous donation of snacks and incentives.

They were so exited and appreciative for the kindness of people who don't know them personally, but chose to donate to the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped my scholars to stay energized, motivated, and ready to learn each day. The snacks keep them fueled for success, and the incentives encourage their hard work, good behavior and choices. It warms my heart especially to see the faces of students light up who just aren't able to bring a snack daily. Also, their incentive treasure chest is now full of fun, colorful, and meaningful rewards that encourage great expectations for learning.

These new resources have made such a big difference in our classroom. My students now have their own space to keep important materials like books, journals, headphones, and iPads right at their desks. This has helped us stay more organized and has cut down on time wasted searching for supplies.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching students slide their books into the seat sacks for the first time. They were so excited to have a spot that was just theirs. Many of them said, \"Now I won't lose my stuff!\" and \"This makes it easier!\" Their smiles said it all.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, we can focus more on learning and less on clutter. These seat sacks especially support independent reading time, as students can quickly grab a book when they finish an assignment and dive right in. Our next step is continuing to build strong reading habits by increasing stamina and comprehension, and these seat sacks make it so much easier for students to transition smoothly into their reading practice.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your kindness and investment in our classroom. You have given my students not just storage, but also independence and pride in their learning space.","fullyFundedDate":1755715573103,"projectUrl":"project/seat-sacks-for-success-keeping-our-clas/9486319/","projectTitle":"Seat Sacks for Success: Keeping Our Classroom Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sublett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4404067_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1491315498268","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4404067"},{"teacherId":4404067,"projectId":9086366,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating snacks to our second-grade classroom!

It was heartwarming to see how something so simple could spark so much excitement and motivation.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the timers in a variety of ways. During independent work time, students now use the timers to manage their focus and stay on task. It's been especially helpful for students who need visual or auditory cues to stay engaged. We also use them during small group rotations, transitions, and brain breaks. The timers have made our day more structured and calm, which has helped maximize learning time and reduce classroom disruptions.","fullyFundedDate":1738936571192,"projectUrl":"project/race-against-time-helping-students-stay/9048585/","projectTitle":"Race Against Time: Helping Students Stay on Track!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sublett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4404067_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1491315498268","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4404067"},{"teacherId":8570070,"projectId":6642216,"letterContent":"The students had a wonderful time exploring animals and learning the alphabet through educational play—what a meaningful impact it has made!\r\nBecause of your generous support, they're developing a genuine love for learning.
