Funding my project brought my students building toys, puzzles, and other resources that have sparked their creativity in countless ways. It's so exciting to watch them create together!\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting new resources for my students has been the new Lego sets you provided us in this project. My students are so excited to create amazing buildings, vehicles, even cities. Their engineering skills and creativity are blossoming with every new creation. And even more exciting, they're collaborating and working together to create these amazing structures. In a similar way, the Magnatile sets are also inspiring my scholars. I'm seeing their budding architecture skills flourish as they create amazing buildings. \r\n\r\nThe puzzles in this project have also been a game-changer. They're such quality and high interest. I have a student who chooses the puzzles every time he has the opportunity. When the puzzles come out during choice time he is focused and engaged--watching him problem solve is really incredible. Again, my students are also learning to work together and collaboratively find solutions--which is a critical skill for my first grade learners.\r\n\r\nBefore this project was funded, we had very limited building toys and tools. As a result, my students were constantly squabbling over the limited materials we had. Now I am seeing students working and collaborating together--students working with other kids they would not have chosen to work with before. This project isn't only fostering their STEM learning, but their social emotional learning as well.\r\n\r\nMy first graders and I can't thank you enough for your generosity.

With the introduction of flexible seating, students are now able to choose spaces that best suit their learning styles—whether it's a cozy chair for independent reading, a collaborative spot for group work, or a quiet corner for focused study. This level of autonomy has noticeably boosted student engagement, comfort, and motivation. By fostering a sense of ownership over their learning space, the classroom has become a more inclusive and student-centered environment.\r\n\r\nThe addition of soft lighting has also contributed to creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere. It reduces the harshness of traditional overhead lighting, helping students feel more relaxed and focused. Paired with a diverse selection of books, this new environment encourages a love of reading and deeper exploration of literature. The books have expanded our classroom library, offering students greater access to high-interest texts across various genres and reading levels. Overall, this donation has not only enhanced the physical space but has also enriched the emotional and academic well-being of every student.","fullyFundedDate":1739455275687,"projectUrl":"project/mental-health-supports-for-the-classroom/8925182/","projectTitle":"Mental Health Supports for the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Malaise","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5029003_orig.jpg?crop=455,455,x647,y121&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750691332090","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jennifer-malaise"},{"teacherId":6648471,"projectId":8965863,"letterContent":"Thank you for inspiring the first graders in Room 128 to complete puzzles!
