These early readers have allowed my students to be successful with their first Accelerated Reader tests. Being successful in the beginning of their independent reading journey encourages them to continue to read and sets a foundation for a love of reading. We have enjoyed looking at them during our guided reading time as well to cement sight word knowledge for my students that are not yet AR readers. These books have truly had a positive impact on my classroom and we are thankful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1755731372202,"projectUrl":"project/read-to-succeed/9363879/","projectTitle":"Read to succeed!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kauk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5646475_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534714007204","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5646475"},{"teacherId":5086031,"projectId":9432350,"letterContent":"I am writing to share the positive impact that the integration of floor desk-chair combos and wobble feet for desks has had on student engagement, focus, and overall classroom dynamics in our 5th grade classroom. As educators, we are continually exploring innovative solutions to enhance student learning and cater to diverse learning styles. The adoption of these flexible furniture options has proven to be a valuable tool in fostering an environment where students thrive academically and socially.\r\nFloor desk-chair combos and wobble feet are designed to promote movement and comfort while maintaining a productive learning space. The concept of allowing students to move freely while working has garnered significant attention in educational settings, particularly for those with higher energy levels or students who benefit from alternative seating arrangements to maintain focus. With a growing understanding of how physical movement can positively impact cognitive development, these seating options support students in their quest for focus, improved concentration, and enhanced learning outcomes. \r\nThe positive classroom environment fostered by these flexible seating arrangements has translated into better overall classroom behavior. The freedom to move when necessary helps to reduce disruptive behavior and supports emotional regulation, contributing to a more productive and harmonious classroom.\r\nMost importantly, the students absolutely love them! If the students are happy, they are more open to learning!","fullyFundedDate":1753303045000,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-learning-in-mrs-waters-class/9432350/","projectTitle":"Flexible Learning in Mrs. Waters' Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Waters","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5086031"},{"teacherId":9118254,"projectId":8749275,"letterContent":"I can't thank you enough for your generous support of our classroom. Thanks to your donations of flexible seating, Legos, and Magna-Tiles, our students have been able to engage in hands-on learning in new and exciting ways. The flexible seating has given them the ability to choose where they work, allowing for more comfort and focus, whether they're diving into a social studies discussion or working on an ELA project. The Legos and Magna-Tiles have added a fun, creative element to our lessons, especially when they created models of historical landmarks or designed settings for stories in our ELA unit.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the room when the students first saw the new materials was contagious! They couldn't wait to dive in and use them. Some students shared things like, *\"I never thought we could build things like this in class!\"* and *\"I love being able to sit wherever I want! I can focus way better now.\"* It's been amazing to see how these resources have sparked their creativity and made learning more engaging. Whether they were building a model of a historical building in social studies or creating a scene from a story in ELA, they've been truly inspired by these new tools.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the students are excited to continue building their projects and present their creations. In social studies, they'll explain the historical significance of the landmarks they've designed, and in ELA, they'll share the storylines behind the scenes they've created. It's a wonderful opportunity for them to develop both their knowledge and their public speaking skills. Your generosity has made these enriching experiences possible, and I'm so grateful for your support. Thank you for helping to make our classroom a place of creativity, collaboration, and excitement!","fullyFundedDate":1731517717324,"projectUrl":"project/interactive-tools-and-flexible-seating-f/8749275/","projectTitle":"Interactive Tools and Flexible Seating for an Engaged Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Robinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9118254_orig.jpg?crop=273,273,x577,y168&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694827305201","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9118254"},{"teacherId":6794253,"projectId":8778504,"letterContent":"My students are absolutely loving our dojo store and AR rewards! We use our AR store every Friday. The kids work hard during the week to take their Accelerated Reader quizzes on the books they read and work towards earning the prizes. Without fail they come back from recess excited and ready to see what they have earned. A student that struggles to read and learn English is already up to 50 points!\r\nWith our Dojo store the kids are always excited throughout the week to see their point totals! They are also learning the value of deciding if they want to save or spend their points. I may need another project to refill our store they are doing so well!\r\nSetting up these two reward systems was so much fun and their faces lit up with all the new rewards and sweet treats!\r\nOur next steps will be adding more to our rewards for incentives and reaching even higher with behavior goals and reading goals.\r\nI am so proud of my students and with this reward system they have exceeded my expectations.

They always look forward to having new books read to them. With the character puppets, it allows them to be more engaged with the read alouds. \r\n\r\nThis also has promoted development of comprehension skills such as identifying print concepts and retelling the stories. They are able to identify who the characters are, where the story takes place and what happens in the beginning, middle, and end of story. \r\n\r\nThe faces that they make when I pull out a new book especially with a puppet is priceless.. they are always so eager!
