Your support has made a tangible, positive difference in our classroom every single day. \r\n\r\nThanks to you, we now have a wide range of seating that allow students to choose the perfect spot to learn, wiggle, and focus. Instead of being stuck in one place, they can now move to a chair that best suits their energy level, leading to more engagement and better concentration during lessons. \r\n\r\nI've already seen students choosing the wiggle seats to help them stay attentive during free choice and circle time, while others use the beanbag chairs for quiet reading time. It's truly inspiring to see them take ownership of their learning space and thrive in this new environment. You've not only provided furniture but also fostered independence and a more dynamic, student-centered classroom. \r\n\r\nYou are truly making a difference, and we feel so fortunate to have you as part of our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1767803429619,"projectUrl":"project/take-a-seathowever-you-like/9851020/","projectTitle":"Take a Seat...However You Like","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Annie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6528247_orig.jpg?crop=365,365,x501,y17&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1599186302460","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6528247"},{"teacherId":5648916,"projectId":9759099,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom. The items that were ordered have become so popular with my students. Students are using the pop beads to explore making their own jewelry and practicing pattern making. We will be using the markers to draw patterns in the new year and trying to replicate them with our beads. They have been great for developing their fine motor skills as well. Our sparkly wands are a great way to get students engaged in our calendar and literacy activities as pointers and reading guides. \r\n\r\nThe guitar is a cherished new addition to our class. Students are practicing signing their names to have a turn playing it. It is always a delight to see them coming together with other instruments to just jam with each other. I'm so thankful for this because it has also given my students a new way to engage with their classmates, form friendships, and build confidence in their ability to play their own music their own way.","fullyFundedDate":1760735619635,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-art-and-music-in-the-classroom/9759099/","projectTitle":"Exploring Art and Music in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lauren","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5648916_orig.jpg?crop=1261,1261,x0,y92&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566520473499","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5648916"},{"teacherId":5648916,"projectId":9653298,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation to my classroom. Because of your generosity, my students have gained so many playful ways to build fine motor skills with new markers and dressing dolls to help with daily tasks like zipping and fastening their clothing. Our new music tree is so fun to watch and soothing to listen to. When students need a calming break, it has help support them as they regulate their emotions. The magnets and dinosaurs are endlessly played with and students especially enjoy making observations about what they can (and cannot) \"stick\" to the wand and other magnets. Last but not least, the fire fighter costume is always a popular dress up, but even more so because of the axe and megaphone accessories both of which have been used to expand their imagination when the megaphone becomes an iron or the axe helps them chop up \"wood for a camping trip.\" The metal shelving and zipper pouches have been prefect for storing items when we want to switch out our classroom toys. \r\n\r\nThank you for funding my classroom! You have brought so many smiles to my students.","fullyFundedDate":1758741570558,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-play-and-space-to-put-i/9653298/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Play and Space to Put it Away","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lauren","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5648916_orig.jpg?crop=1261,1261,x0,y92&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566520473499","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5648916"},{"teacherId":6528247,"projectId":9700514,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your beautiful donation towards our new dollhouse and all the furniture and dolls to go with it. It is a favorite area in our classroom for the children to explore. Everyone has had a wonderful time creating stories and interacting with each other. It has been such a treat to watch the children make up stories and pretend to be different characters every time they play. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching students who typically have a hard time interacting with peers and they have found a common space to play in. As I had also hoped, this dollhouse has opened new doors for communication and language from all the children. This has been my favorite part as I am hearing more words form several students who otherwise are quiet during their school day. Theis dollhouse had brought new magic to our classroom.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1758145913813,"projectUrl":"project/one-dollhouse-a-creative-imagination/9700514/","projectTitle":"One Dollhouse & a Creative Imagination","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Annie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6528247_orig.jpg?crop=365,365,x501,y17&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1599186302460","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6528247"},{"teacherId":6528247,"projectId":9217512,"letterContent":"I wish I could have captured the joy and awe of my students as they opened their gifts.

I cannot wait to see where their imaginations, and their cameras, take them the next few months.
