The day I put the light covers on, my students were absolutely thrilled. Our classroom now feels so light and airy with our new \"cloud cover.\" Gone are the days of harsh fluorescent glare and constantly trying to find the right balance between bright enough and too bright. Now I can simply flip the switch and know the light will shine through in a calming shade of blue. Even on our cold, blustery Wisconsin afternoons, our classroom feels bright and welcoming.\r\n\r\nThe students especially love when I bring out the cloud light to help us shift from \"recess brains\" to \"learning brains.\" It has become such a helpful tool for guiding our breathing and slowing down when we're feeling overexcited or anxious. It's wonderful to have something I can grab in an instant, instead of scrambling to find a video to lead the class through calming breaths.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and kindness!","fullyFundedDate":1757357103061,"projectUrl":"project/soften-the-light-brighten-our-minds/9622912/","projectTitle":"Soften the Light, Brighten Our Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bertram","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp178714_orig.jpg?crop=450,450,x302,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1596856505544","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/178714"},{"teacherId":9654330,"projectId":8649556,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating these supplies to our classroom!

Everyone who has stopped by has admired it! The kids were so excited when we got the new carpet. They have been working so hard to keep it in great shape! \r\nThe carpet has allowed our students to have plenty of personal space to learn and grow. Each morning our class gathers around the carpet to start our day with a morning meeting. Here we learn basic skills like how to greet someone. We also learn calming techniques for when we are feeling overwhelmed or upset. Our class carpet is our place for creating a classroom family. We take time each week to celebrate our friends' good times and comfort them through their difficult times. Our carpet is certainly the hub of all our classroom activities. \r\nThroughout the day the students gather on the rug for the large group learning time. But having such a big space for learning has also increased our ability to use it for small groups as well. Now the different teachers who work in my room can have small groups of students working together, all on the rug at the same time. \r\nThank you again for your generous donation!
