These chairs and cushions have helped my students with their focus and concentration on getting work done. \r\n\r\nKindergarten is hard enough with leaving parents or guardians often for the first time. Little things like this make Kindergarten fun and exciting for my students to come to class. It's often hard for first time students to learn how to sit for extended periods of time and focus on work especially during writing time. These chairs and cushions allow for my students to wiggle all they want without distracting their peers and get work done. \r\n\r\nYou have impacted my students for years to come, and I truly cannot thank you enough for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1746786073378,"projectUrl":"project/bye-bye-wiggles/9123541/","projectTitle":"Bye Bye Wiggles","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dosil","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8393697_orig.jpg?crop=1532,1532,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648261182385","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8393697"},{"teacherId":8393697,"projectId":8599607,"letterContent":"Our classroom is so thankful for your donation. my students were so excited to see all the new math tools and use them. The dinosaur counters were a huge hit everyone wanted to use them. My students have been excited for math everyday to count the different objects and make new numbers. Before this donation we only had counting chips and the students were bored. Now they are excited to see which counting bin they get to use and everyone has enough so no one is sharing. I've seen their math comprehension going up and counting skills growing in just the last four weeks. \r\n\r\nOne of the biggest impacts has been a working document camera for my students. Being able to show my students in real time and zoom in on papers for them to see clearly has been invaluable to my classroom.
