When our students first saw the new supplies—the cash register, storage bins, automatic frother, and 16oz cold cups—their excitement filled the room. These resources instantly made our café feel more realistic and meaningful. The cash register, in particular, has brought real-life learning to life as students practice counting money, making change, and completing transactions with confidence. The frother is easy for students to use independently as they make lattes and cappuccinos, and the storage bins have helped keep our muffins fresh and organized.\r\n\r\nThese materials are now part of our weekly hands-on learning. Students are actively communicating with one another, working as a team, following multi-step directions, and applying math skills in authentic ways. As a special education classroom, these real-world experiences are critical, and the growth we've seen in communication, teamwork, calculations, and money skills has been truly amazing. The café has also allowed us to earn funds that go right back to our students by purchasing classroom resources, helping fund field trips, and even celebrating with stellar classroom parties.\r\n\r\nThank you for taking a peek into our classroom and for making such a lasting impact on our students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1767982722087,"projectUrl":"project/kind-cup-cafe-special-education-class/9983472/","projectTitle":"Kind Cup Cafe - Special Education Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McKinney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10396930_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767897296629","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10396930"},{"teacherId":10298518,"projectId":10027695,"letterContent":"Flexible seating has truly transformed the way my students learn and interact in our classroom. We use the new seating options every day during reading, writing, math, and small-group instruction. Since we provided the flexible seating options, I ave noticed students staying engaged longer and having richer conversations about what they were reading because they felt comfortable and supported.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the flexible seating, their excitement was immediate and contagious. Their faces lit up as they explored the different options, and many said it made school feel more welcoming and \"grown-up.\" More importantly, they quickly learned how to use the seating responsibly and make thoughtful choices about what works best for their learning. That sense of ownership helped build independence and respect for our shared space.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, donors were able to get a small glimpse into a classroom where students feel empowered and valued. As we move forward, students will continue using flexible seating during upcoming projects, including collaborative writing assignments and hands-on math problem solving. These resources allow them to work together, think creatively, and stay focused as they take the next steps in their learning journey. Your support has helped create an environment where students are comfortable taking risks, sharing ideas, and growing every day.","fullyFundedDate":1769191984186,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-flexible-thinkers/10027695/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Flexible Thinkers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fogle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10298518_orig.jpg?crop=1290,1290,x144,y437&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759427943710","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10298518"},{"teacherId":10298518,"projectId":9786785,"letterContent":"The addition of headphones and test dividers has made a meaningful difference in how my third grade students learn each day. With headphones, students can engage in educational programs at their own pace, listen to instructions clearly, and participate in reading and math activities without distractions from the busy classroom around them. Test dividers give students a defined personal space, helping them concentrate and feel more confident during independent work and assessments.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about these new tools is the sense of independence they provide. Headphones make learning feel interactive and special—students love being able to hear stories read aloud, replay instructions, or work through learning games designed just for them. The test dividers are equally exciting in a quieter way; students see them as \"their space,\" a place where they can focus and do their best work without worrying about what others are doing. Together, these tools make learning feel more personal and empowering.\r\n\r\nThese resources have been especially impactful for students who struggle with attention, anxiety, or confidence. Some students are easily distracted by noise, and the headphones help block out those distractions so they can fully engage with lessons. Other students who feel nervous during tests benefit from the dividers because they reduce visual stress and create a calm environment. I've seen students who once rushed or avoided work now slow down, focus, and show pride in what they accomplish.\r\n\r\nOverall, this project has helped create a more equitable and supportive classroom environment. Every student now has the opportunity to learn in a way that meets their needs, whether that means listening closely, working quietly, or having a clear space to think. Your generosity has not only provided physical tools but has also boosted confidence, improved focus, and encouraged a love of learning in my third grade students. These are changes that will continue to benefit them far beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1769192074354,"projectUrl":"project/tune-out-the-noise-tune-into-success/9786785/","projectTitle":"Tune Out the Noise, Tune Into Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fogle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10298518_orig.jpg?crop=1290,1290,x144,y437&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759427943710","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10298518"},{"teacherId":5146182,"projectId":9660486,"letterContent":"My students have told me multiple times this year that my books are old and outdated.

It was a fantastic treat for them to get to play and create their snowmen. As third grade students, crafting is something that my students do not get to do on a regular basis. It was great for them to get a chance to express themselves while they craft their Christmas delights. The students also got to take home their ornaments and snowmen to share at home with their loved ones. Many of my students come from a low-income home therefore they do not have the enjoyment of buying things for their loved ones.
