The extra storage has been such a game changer for both myself and my students. The students have absolutely LOVED having a place to keep their belongings organized, and it has given them a sense of ownership and pride in their classroom space. It has also helped them stay more responsible and independent, which makes a big difference in their daily routines.\r\n\r\nFor me as a teacher, the storage has been such a blessing. It keeps the room running smoothly and allows me to spend less time managing clutter and more time focusing on teaching and connecting with my students. The overall environment feels calmer, more organized, and more inviting because of this addition. It may seem like a small thing, but it has truly made a huge difference in the way our classroom functions each day.\r\n\r\nAnother classroom favorite has been the seat sacks! My students have especially loved having them because they make it so easy to keep their materials close by and organized. Instead of searching through desks or wandering around to find what they need, everything is right at their fingertips. The seat sacks have truly been a game changer—they've helped cut down on wasted time and have allowed students to focus more on their learning. Plus, the kids feel so grown-up and responsible having their very own space to keep things neat and tidy.","fullyFundedDate":1746785745337,"projectUrl":"project/smart-storage-for-a-smarter-classroom/9296111/","projectTitle":"Smart Storage for a Smarter Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Koch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8980142_orig.jpg?crop=1067,1067,x0,y174&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1678381824805","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8980142"},{"teacherId":8980142,"projectId":8997193,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your continued generosity and support of my classroom.

Your kindness inspires both me and my students, and we are truly grateful to have you as part of our learning journey. Thank you again, sincerely, for making a difference.\r\n\r\nReceiving these keyboards has brought a whole new energy and sense of purpose into our classroom, transforming tasks that some students once found \"boring\" into exciting and meaningful experiences. Typing practice, writing assignments, and even research projects now feel more engaging and empowering. Some of my students have taken this opportunity and run with it—several have even started typing their own books, channeling their creativity and ideas and even mentioning they want to be an author when they grow up. It's incredible to see how a simple tool can unlock confidence, motivation, and a genuine love for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1740455493354,"projectUrl":"project/ipad-keyboards/8997193/","projectTitle":"iPad Keyboards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Koch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8980142_orig.jpg?crop=1067,1067,x0,y174&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1678381824805","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8980142"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79487","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":330,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":41,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.8,"schoolId":79487,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about LeMay Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"LeMay Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/bellevue-public-school-district-1/lemay-elementary-school/79487"}
