These resources have been such a wonderful addition to our classroom, and I truly appreciate your generosity.\r\n\r\nWhen my students become dysregulated or upset, their main go-to is the rain tubes. They LOVE the rain tubes when they just need some time to calm down and de-escalate. They use them along with a visual timer, and when their time is up, they are usually ready to return to the group and jump right back into our learning activities.\r\n\r\nThe second most helpful item has been the wiggle cushions. They have made a tremendous difference during independent work! I have a very active group of boys and only two girls, and the boys are definitely HYPER! The wiggle cushions help them stay seated and focused for longer periods of time, allowing them to complete their work more successfully.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic building tiles and Lincoln Logs are especially enjoyable for my active boys. I like to bring them out on Fridays or at the end of the day as a way for everyone to wind down after a busy day of learning. They love having that opportunity to build, create, and relax.\r\n\r\nThe visual schedule has also been incredibly helpful for all of my students. It gives them a clear understanding of what to expect throughout the day and helps our classroom routine run more smoothly.\r\n\r\nThank you again for providing these wonderful resources for my students. They are making a meaningful difference in our classroom every single day!","fullyFundedDate":1779152882770,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-for-every-ability/10262753/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning for Every Ability","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Josephine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9563750_orig.jpg?crop=508,508,x35,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718990561383","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9563750"},{"teacherId":9563750,"projectId":10055316,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredibly generous donation of popcorn, nutritional yeast seasoning, and a popcorn popper for my students. Your kindness means more than I can adequately put into words.\r\n\r\nPopcorn is my students' favorite snack, and they absolutely love getting to have popcorn during our long school days. Something as simple as sharing a warm bowl of popcorn can bring so much joy and excitement to the classroom. It gives them a special treat to look forward to and creates a little moment of comfort and fun in the middle of a busy day at school.\r\n\r\nYour donation is especially meaningful because food and everyday necessities are very expensive here in Savoonga. For example, a single tub of popcorn at our local store can cost three times what you paid for the same item on Amazon. When you live in a remote community, those price differences add up quickly.\r\n\r\nSavoonga is located on St. Lawrence Island, and our remoteness also makes it difficult to keep the local store consistently stocked. At times, the store can be nearly empty and bare for one to three weeks at a time. Supplies have to be flown in, and weather delays can prevent planes from arriving, making it difficult to know when the next shipment of food and other necessities will come.\r\n\r\nBecause of this, your donation provides much more than just popcorn. You have given my students something they love, while also helping our classroom have a reliable snack when the local store may not have what we need. The popcorn popper and nutritional yeast seasoning will allow us to continue enjoying popcorn together for a long time.\r\n\r\nThank you for thinking of my students and for going out of your way to support our classroom all the way here on St. Lawrence Island. Your generosity reminds my students that people far beyond our community care about them and want to make their school experience a little brighter.","fullyFundedDate":1779316580360,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-snacks-in-a-food-desert/10055316/","projectTitle":"Healthy Snacks in a Food Desert","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Josephine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9563750_orig.jpg?crop=508,508,x35,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718990561383","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9563750"},{"teacherId":9131401,"projectId":10031494,"letterContent":"Thank you so much to our generous donors for supporting \"Fuel for Learning: Healthy Snacks for Our Village Students.\" Your kindness provided our students with nutritious snacks that helped them stay energized, focused, and ready to learn throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nFor students in our remote village, something as simple as having a snack available can make a meaningful difference.
