Because of your generosity, every student in my classroom now has wiggle wobble chair feet on their desks—and the impact has been incredible. These simple yet powerful tools have helped my students stay focused and regulated during learning time, especially now as we wrap up the school year with end-of-year (EOY) universal screeners. Sitting for long periods can be tough for active learners, but the chair feet give them just enough movement to stay engaged without being disruptive.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the wobble feet, they were so excited to try them out. One student said, \"This feels like a fidget for my chair!\" Almost immediately, I noticed a difference—students who usually had trouble staying seated were now more grounded and able to finish tasks with fewer breaks. During our EOY assessments, the wobble feet have helped students manage their energy, stay in their seats longer, and give their best effort on challenging tasks.\r\n\r\nAs we close out the year and reflect on our growth, I can truly say these movement tools have supported both academic focus and emotional regulation in our classroom.

Your generous contribution has brought a joyful and purposeful resource into our classroom. The mini trampoline is now a favorite part of our day, giving students a safe, structured way to release energy and reset their focus—especially during longer stretches of academic work. We've created a \"bounce break\" routine, where students can take short, timed turns on the trampoline to help them regulate their energy and emotions, and the difference in their ability to re-engage in learning afterward is remarkable.\r\n\r\nWhen the trampoline first arrived, the students could hardly contain their excitement. One student with big sensory needs smiled and said, \"This is the best thing ever!\" Watching them bounce with joy and then calmly return to their work has been a beautiful reminder of how movement supports learning—especially for young children with diverse needs. During a recent reading group, a student who usually struggles to sit still participated for the full session after a trampoline break. It's become an important tool not just for movement, but for focus, confidence, and success.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on a writing unit where students are drafting and illustrating personal narratives. The trampoline has helped them manage their stamina during writing blocks and stay more focused during peer editing sessions.

Your donation has made a real difference in the lives of my students. Each morning now begins with a nutritious snack, and this simple addition has transformed the start of our school day. For many of my students, who face challenges outside of school, having a consistent and healthy snack helps them arrive ready to focus, learn, and participate fully in class activities.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments came during the first week we introduced the snacks. As the students came in and saw a basket filled with granola bars, fruit cups, and crackers, their faces lit up. One student exclaimed, \"We get this every day?\" It was heartwarming to see their excitement over something that many of us might take for granted. Since then, snack time has become a small but important classroom routine that helps students settle in, connect with one another, and feel cared for.\r\n\r\nWith their energy and focus boosted, my students are diving into literacy and math lessons with more engagement and stamina. We're currently working on writing personal narratives, and I've seen a noticeable increase in focus and creativity during our writing blocks. Next, we'll be working on a group research project about animals, and I'm excited to see how their improved morning routines will support their ability to collaborate and share their ideas. Thank you again for fueling both our bodies and our learning—your kindness is helping us start each day strong.","fullyFundedDate":1742823862526,"projectUrl":"project/fuel-for-success-snacks-to-start-the-da/9085623/","projectTitle":"Fuel for Success: Snacks to Start the Day Right!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Noriega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8888456_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720834262792","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8888456"},{"teacherId":8888456,"projectId":9085596,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in funding a printer for our classroom! This addition has made an incredible difference in how we support our students' learning each day. Having immediate access to printed materials allows me to provide individualized resources tailored to my students' needs, from adapted worksheets to visual supports that help our multilingual learners and special education students succeed. Instead of waiting for copies or struggling with limited resources, we can now print on demand, ensuring that every student has what they need to stay engaged and grow in their learning.\r\n\r\nThe students are especially excited about the ability to see their work printed and displayed around the room. They love being able to publish their writing, work on hands-on literacy activities, and complete math practice with customized materials. One of my students, Jamaria, has been especially motivated by having printed word-building activities that help her practice blending sounds—she now asks for extra practice!

The classroom essentials you provided—fruit snacks, school supplies, and Play-Doh—have made a huge difference for my students. As a teacher working with young learners, especially those in special education, having these resources has helped me create a more engaging and supportive learning environment. The fruit snacks have been a great motivator during lessons, giving students a little boost to stay focused and participate. The school supplies have ensured that every child has what they need to practice their reading and writing skills, and the Play-Doh has been an unexpected hit for hands-on learning activities that build fine motor skills and letter recognition. \r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with excitement! They couldn't wait to get their hands on the Play-Doh, molding letters and practicing sight words in a fun, multisensory way. Having these supplies has also helped create a structured and calm atmosphere—knowing they have the tools they need makes them feel more confident and ready to learn. One memorable moment was when a student who usually struggles with letter formation eagerly shaped Play-Doh into letters and proudly named each one. Seeing that kind of joy and progress is exactly why these resources matter. \r\n\r\nMoving forward, my students will continue to use these materials in literacy and math centers, reinforcing key skills while keeping learning engaging and hands-on.
