Your support has completely transformed our classroom. The new Calm Corner and flexible seating options have made a huge difference in how my students learn and manage their emotions every day.\r\n\r\nStudents love having choices. Instead of traditional desks, they can pick seating that fits their focus and energy needs. Meanwhile, the Calm Corner gives them a safe space to self-regulate when feeling overwhelmed. Recently, a student who felt anxious during a writing project used the Calm Corner tools to decompress, picked a flexible seat, and finished his work with confidence.\r\n\r\nYour gift didn't just buy materials—it gave us a calmer, more inclusive learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1786734087547,"projectUrl":"project/new-special-education-room/10469670/","projectTitle":"New Special Education Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cabello","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10588316_orig.jpg?crop=2448,2448,x0,y481&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1786485067375","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jesus-cabello"},{"teacherId":10411628,"projectId":10038739,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in bringing our Hartbyte Esports project to life. The Nintendo Switch you helped fund is so much more than just a gaming console for our classroom; it is a dynamic tool that is actively helping our 5th-grade students learn vital 21st-century skills. While many students are familiar with using technology at home, we are using this system in school to explicitly build, practice, and develop teamwork and collaboration.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the room when we introduced the new technology was absolutely palpable! What excites the students most is the opportunity to work together to solve in-game challenges and compete cooperatively. They are learning how to strategize as a team, practice active listening, take turns, and communicate clearly under pressure. It is amazing to see how quickly these communication skills are translating directly into their collaborative academic group work.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding aspects of this project has been watching students who are typically quiet or reserved step up into leadership roles when guiding their peers through a challenging game or puzzle. This technology has truly leveled the playing field, allowing different students to shine and fostering a stronger, more inclusive classroom community. We could not have done this without your support.","fullyFundedDate":1776115179546,"projectUrl":"project/hartbyte-esports/10038739/","projectTitle":"Hartbyte Esports","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vallejo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10411628_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768661535768","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10411628"},{"teacherId":5637926,"projectId":8838428,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our culturally sustaining classroom library!

When my students first saw the new counting materials and math counters, they were eager to explore them right away. Their excitement was contagious as they gathered around the new resources, counting, sorting, matching, and discovering new ways to learn through play.\r\n\r\nThese materials have transformed our math centers into engaging learning spaces where students can interact with numbers in meaningful ways. During our daily math activities, children use the counters to practice number recognition, one-to-one correspondence, counting quantities, creating patterns, and comparing groups. One of our favorite classroom moments was watching students independently match numeral cards to the correct number of counters and proudly explain their thinking to their classmates. The hands-on experience has helped many students build confidence and develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts that can sometimes feel abstract at this age.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our learning journey, we will use these resources to explore simple addition and subtraction, strengthen problem-solving skills, and encourage mathematical conversations among peers. These materials are helping create a strong foundation for future success in mathematics while making learning joyful and engaging. Your generosity has given my students the opportunity to learn through exploration, discovery, and play.
