My students absolutely love the activities and stories, especially those centered around understanding emotions. These learning materials have brought a new level of engagement into our classroom and have helped students better connect with what they are learning in meaningful and lasting ways.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we have been able to expand beyond our original curriculum and introduce more opportunities for students to explore, discuss, and truly understand their emotions. These resources have helped my students build confidence in expressing how they feel, while also learning how to listen to and support their peers. It has been incredible to see how much more thoughtful and aware they are becoming through these daily experiences.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the cleaning supplies you provided have made a big difference in maintaining a safe and welcoming classroom environment. Having access to these essentials ensures that our space stays clean and ready for learning each day. Your kindness has truly made a lasting impact on both our learning environment and my students' growth, and we are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1765847041594,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-calming-corner-for-little-lea/9944082/","projectTitle":"Creating a Calming Corner for Little Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ashley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8388137_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705510356309","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8388137"},{"teacherId":4426521,"projectId":9908279,"letterContent":"I am so appreciative of the donors who helped my class get new headphones!

Boddle makes the lessons fun and engaging.\r\n\r\nSince our new headphones arrived, we have put them each in their own Ziploc bag and labeled them so each student has their own set to take care of.

We also now have shared language to communicate with each other in order to make the classroom run more smoothly. For example, on the first day we read the book \"My Brain is a Racecar,\" and then we had a conversation about how so many of our brains love to stay on track and focus on one task, but how sudden noises and disruptions can make us feel like our car is spinning out of control. Since then, I have had students ask to work in a quiet space because \"their race car is off track.\" I have also been able to use this vocabulary when I have had students blurting out and calling my name for attention. All I have to say is \"my racecar is working on x,\" and suddenly the students understand the need for uninterrupted focus. \r\nThat is only one example of how these read a-louds and brain discussions has transformed my room. I started it in the middle of my year and was so floored by the immediate progress. I cannot wait for next year when I can kick of my year with a neurology based discussion.","fullyFundedDate":1764867065602,"projectUrl":"project/brainiacs-love-neuroscience/9825596/","projectTitle":"Brainiacs love Neuroscience","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bays","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8642248_orig.jpg?crop=851,851,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1661206124826","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8642248"},{"teacherId":8642248,"projectId":9646977,"letterContent":"Every time a student picks up a book, they are given a door to another world.
